In this post, I'll look at the renderings of the various Adobe DNG profiles on a profile by profile basis.

If you haven't taken a look at Part 1 of this, I'd strongly suggest you do - it's there that I set the scene for these charts, and talk about how to interpret them. Part two is here.

As a reminder, what we're looking at here is the color rendition embedded in the various default Adobe camera profiles for the Canon 5DII. We're looking at that for colors that approximate to the key color patches on a Gretag Macbeth 24 patch color chart. Also, remember that the various "camera" profiles are intended to mimic the camera settings, not necessarily to be what Adobe might consider to be pleasing color renditions.

There's been a conversation on the Adobe forums about some unexpected changes in tint when the recover and exposure controls are used in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), and presumably in Lightroom as well. With input from Eric Chan of Adobe, what started out as a discussion of a possible bug in the ACR quickly moved towards the understanding that the unexpected shift in tint was by design, and part of Adobe's new generation of color profiles.
