Since PL2 supports dcp profiles I have been using the hue light camera profiles for most of my work with the Canon 1Dx and Canon EOS R. They seem to be a great starting point for development. Colors look very natural to me, as well as the base curve.
I’m in no way affiliated to them, nor do I profit from it. Just wanted to give a heads up for all that might want to try them out. The profiles are very affordable.
I’ve been looking at what DPL and Lr put out using my camera specific dcp profiles and what I get with “no correction” settings. What I see is that differences exist and that reds and blues are more saturated and - in the case of the blues - a bit darker.
I’d rather not say that one thing is better than the other. What I can say is that one output might be more pleasing than the other at one time and that this can change depending on whatever mood I’m in or the expression I want to create. In any such case, I rarely get what I want without further pushing and pulling of sliders or bending of curves…
Note: Tested with Canon 5D3 images, your mileage may vary.
I use the Adobe DCP profiles that come with Lightroom and Camera Raw. I’ve found that the “Adobe Standard” profile for my Olympus Pen-F gives me very good colour, better than any other “colour rendering” setting that I’ve tried in PhotoLab. If you have Lightroom or Photoshop, before buying the Huelight profiles try the Adobe profiles that you already have to see if they work for you.
