The chart's exposure should well be in the ballpark... When I view the chart in UFRaw with gamma 2.2, the O12 patch has a value of about 130, which should be in the ballpark area for L=50. This is about the exposure which CMP recommends. Please note, I'm profiling from a linear gamma target... Indeed the image is much overexposed in area's, the scene just had a huge dynamic range. When I apply my own profile, to normally exposed RAWs, the (final) exposure looks fine. > "RGB(Y).pdf" shows neutral patches in your original TI3 file vs Y. > > I scaled the RGB values in your TI3 file by 100/82.3096 (see attachment > "CMP-test.ti3") and made some new profiles (e.g with colprof -u).

I'll be doing some more experimenting, and I'll report back, possibly providing more samples. Regards, Pascal de Bruijn
