i ordered DXO Lab 6 a couple of weeks ago. I am still learning. But i still have problems with the colours after i made some clicks in DXO Lab. I do not know: maybe DXO Lab 6 automatically proposes colours? I especially have problems with the colour green. I want the original green from the raw file. But i do not know how to manage this. the programm suggests me other green colours. look at the bushes in the original. i want the green colour in the original raw file. but i always get a darker green. i already played with the green colour function. but i do not really know how to handle the colour functions in a good way. can somebody help me?
Each and every raw developer uses different recipes to render raw data from the sensor. The “original green from the raw file” does not exist per se. It’s just a bunch of numbers that come to life with processing. Here’s a nose as it looks in a RAW file as shown in RawDigger:
RAW developers tend to try to reproduce the original camera colour rendering, still some differences remain. Using different working colour spaces can also change how colours look on screen, which with its respective colour profile.
Moreover, camera screens show previews with all sorts of processing applied.
