problems with ICC profiles

Daniel Bauer-2
Hello

I have two, a practical and a theoretical, problems with ICC profiles for
digiKam 0.9.0:
---
practical:

I can't find any profile that works with the CR2-files from my Canon 20D. I've
downloaded what I found, tried all combinations... the picture is always too
dark. The Camera is set up to use sRGB.

in UFraw I use it's built-in sRGB for in- and output. That works ok. But
digiKam wouldn't accept any of the sRGB-profiles I found as a camera profile
(it doesn't show them in the setup box of camera/input profile, they appear
only in workspace/monitor setup box)

Now, what can I do?
- Is there a possibility to create a profile myself somehow - without making a
degree as doctor-colour-space :-))

- Are there some "standard"-profiles that give acceptable results somewhere?

- and: it's acceptable for professionals if digiKam requires them to learn
some color management stuff (willy-nilly I'll have to go into this when I
find the time), but are there any thoughts about what the "common home user"
can do, who just wants to plug in his/her camera and have the photos in nice
colours without getting involved in color management but nevertheless uses
raw files?

---
and the theoretical question:

those ICC profiles I've seen are copyrighted. Are there any thoughts what
happens, when one uses a profiled image-file on the web, in a photo data
base, or delivered to a picture agency, and the copyright-holder doesn't like
that? This possibly applies to photoshop as well, but probably they'll pay
the royalties to the copyright-holders, and they are not open-source... I'm
just thinking about the dvd css problems with linux... Has this already been
discussed or is this question obsolete anyway?

regards

Daniel

yes, provided by your camera maker and published with your camera win32
application.

For me, when i have built my Dynax 5D, i have just installed the Minolta
DImage program on a win32 computer, get the icc files installed on the system
and copied all in my linux box. All work fine like this and i'm sure that
Canon, Nikon, and others major camera maker provide this ICC files.

For others questions, i lets Paco (F.J Cruz) given a response (He is the
digiKam Color management specialist (:=)))

I've a Dynax 5D as well, but once I've read that a solution could to
install the Light Edition of CaptureOne
(http://www.phaseone.com/), they have several profiles....

Otherwise here I've found they sell it for 30$:

All camera profiles are used to transform color from camera pictures, but
these one aren't never saved in target image, only workspace color profile
(usually sRGB). There is no trace in target image about the camera profile
used to transform the original picture.

There is some SRGB icc profiles in public domain witch don't require any
royalties. You can use it...

But i have never seen a royalties problem relevant of icc profiles. When you
buy a camera, you buy the software too, and the license to use the profiles
provides by the camera maker !

Daniel,

Ages ago, Gilles posted a link to an external repository of profiles.
Have you tried that link? (Can't remember it off hand :( )

Yes, I've downloaded from there. And also from other sites I found with
google. Plus now I installed the Canon progs I received with the camera on a
win PC and copied the ICC's from there, but still no luck :-(

I really tried every combination of settings and profiles I could imagine, but
I guess, I must have overlooked something - if I only knew what??? With the
Canon win progs the pictures just show up perfectly. Am I the only one with
this problem? How embarassing! hmmm.

Has anybody an idea what I could try, what I could have done wrong, what else
I should look after? Or is there somebody out there with Canon CR2 files who
has achieved the correct settings and can tell me them?

regards

Daniel

Hello Daniel,

I am also working with Canon CR2 files (Canon 350D). I am sorry, but I have
deleted your original letter with the problem description. But as far as I
remember you are having problem with too dark images during raw conversion..am I
right?
If yes, then: I have the same problem. After opening a CR2, digiKam will convert
it to a "viewable" image using dcraw. However, let me quote from the dcraw FAQ:

"Why is 16-bit output dark / flattened / unreadable?
     If you want pretty pictures straight out of dcraw, stay with 8-bit output.
16-bit linear output is the best raw material for professional image editors
such as Photoshop and CinePaint, but it's no good for most image viewers."

And actually I am only having this problem if I am doing the conversion in 16
bit mode (8 bit mode is perfect). What I am doing is I set the gamma paramater
to the maximum once, and after the operation, I rise it a bit again. But this is
not really a good solution, so I am not doing raw conversion with digiKam right
now...but I really would like to do all kind of conversion with digiKam.
(please, excuse me if your problem was different. Also I have to mention that I
am using an svn version that is at least 3 weeks old. Maybe the fresh svn does
not have the same "effect" during 16bit RAW conversion)

Best regards,
Gabor Dudas

Yes, I have.
Not sure, but I think it's the same that comes with the Canon Win Software (at
least the file size is the same). However, I tried both...

Well Daniel, sRGB color profile isn't showed where you expect to found
it because it is not a pure input device profile, is a color space
profile. I've thinking about this problem sometime ago and my
conclussion is that we can accept "color spaces profiles" to be showed
as "input devices" or let's the user to select a "built-in sRGB
profile" in the same way we do with Color Management plugin.

I still don't come to any good result in 0.9.0 svn...

I've downloaded CinePaint and tried any conversions between any ICC's, no one
came out that dark as in digikam, but also no one came out "good" (pictures
always appeard to "flat" and still too dark).

I played with different profile-combinations in UFraw, too. When using EOS
20D.icc for input and adobe srgb for output, the picture appears as dark as
in digikam, but then I can correct gamma (to 0.32) and linearity (to 0.07)
which gives a "not so bad" result, at least in the shown preview (of course
for real usable results one would have to use more time...).

I could not find any place in digikam to adjust gamma/linearity for
transforming raws (yes, there is gamma somewhere, but no linearity, and to
adjust one has to play with both of them at the same time).

Now I've spent hours in "ICC-websites", I guess I understand the theoretical
purpose, but I don't accomplish in practice.

I've asked around my photographer colleagues, and it seems, everybody has some
ideas, but nobody really *knows*. Those few (extremely up-to-date digital
studios) who really use profiles also have (very expensive!) calibrated
monitors, scanners, proof-printers and special calibration/color management
software and hardware (like monitor densitometers etc.) - and all this was
set up by experts from the suppliers. And yes: they use Mac.

However, there should be a simple way to get acceptable results, isn't it? Or
am I just too old and stupid for the modern times?

I still hope, somebody can help me...

Daniel

Gilles, I have the same problems as Daniel (using liblcms 1.0.15 and
EOS-350D). I have the dark pictures since ever I use svn 0.9 version. I
thought up to now that this was still in development, but now I agree we
should solve the problem (Canon DSLR is very popular). Maybe it is a Canon
specific problem. But why does ufraw not have it?
The result of digiKam is exactly the same as if I apply dcraw on the command
line without color management.

Gerhard, you said that you can use these profile under ufraw...

To have tested the Canon Icc profiles on my computer, nothing work properly in
digiKam _AND_ ufraw (0.5 here) !

If i set a Canon profile in digiKam setup, and I display the colors gamut
graph, there is no CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram available (no white triangle
in fact). This is why we have a black image in digiKam image editor. Look in
wikipedia for more info about Gamut :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamut

I don't know what is wrong exactly with this profile, but we cannot used these
files properly under linux. Paco, if you have some explainations, please
let's me here (:=)))

BUT, with your Canon camera, you can use the linear profile available here
(public domain!) :

http://www.lysator.liu.se/~ture/eos10d/

It work fine under linux (digikam & ufraw) !!! I have tested this one with
Daniel image (very nice (:=)))...

I have tried to use all icc profile from bibblepro program available for linux
for testing. you can download it :

http://www.bibblelabs.com

This software includes camera/workspace profiles witch work fine under
digiKam :

[gilles@cea-tir8 profiles]$  

For example, you can try all canon*.icm files using Color management plugin
for digikam image editor to select the right file to use in ICC workflow...

Thanks for testing my picture, Gilles!

I tried the above profile.
- In editor view there was no change ???
- but using color->color management and then choosing the above for input and
the "generic monitor" or "adobe rgb 1998" for workspace gave slightly better
results, meaning brighter, but still very, very "flat" (poor contrast,
"milky" colours) - the same happens in UFraw.

Can you tell me what settings you entered in digikam (in raw image decoding
options and ICC settings), please?

I've entered the ICC settings like on your screenshot:
http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/Screenshots/iccworkflowwithrawimages.png
except that I took the file from http://www.lysator.liu.se/~ture/eos10d/ for
"imput" and nothing for "Soft proof"

Maybe I missed something somewhere else, although I thought I tried
"everything"...

Daniel

As already said in PM: thank you very much, Gilles!

I achieved the same result in 0.9.0 svn. It is not bad, but it is not perfect
yet ;-)  but at least a great step ahead :-)

I have put samples of this pictures here:

1) photo as the canon-program on Win98 made it without any corrections (then
saved as 16bit-TIFF and resized and saved as jpg with photoshop 5.0):
http://www.daniel-bauer.com/test/6057_09_canon.jpg

2) same picture in 0.9.0 svn with setting as shown by you (resized and saved
as jpg within digikam 0.9.0):
http://www.daniel-bauer.com/test/6057_009_editor.jpg

3) same, then with "automatic color correction" by digikam:
http://www.daniel-bauer.com/test/6057_009_automatic.jpg

I think, the "canon" ist the most "vivid" one. What do you think?

Daniel

b.t.w.: I'll take those samples off the server again next week...
