Camera profile and reference images for the Leica M9
I've posted a camera profile and some reference images for the M9 on the ChromaSoft website. They're at the bottom of this page.
The most important file is the DNG camera profile, generated from a real image of a real GM24 chart using Adobe's Profile Editor. It can can be used in Lightroom and Adobe Capture Raw to improve color rendering of M9 images. It's actually quite close to the embedded Leica profile, but tames reds a bit.
There are also two synthetic calibration images. The first of these is a synthetic GretagMacBeth chart that was created by using an existing image as a template, but then replacing all of the image data with new synthetic data calculated from the l*a*b* data of the GretagMacBeth chart using the color profile embedded into the original DNG file by Leica.
