As far as I know, LR lens profiles and DXO lens profiles do not remove color cast. If you have any links on profiles removing color cast, I would definitely be interested in reading them.


Where does the color cast come from?
Is this caused by the WB?

If CO profiles match color output from different lenses, Cobalt has serious competition ...

I'm using Capture One, which seems to do a pretty good job, at least for the lenses I have. Otherwise there are tools around to measure your lens yourself, generating profiles exactly matching your lenses (at least under the light you used). Otherwise I'm sure you could complain to the Software companies for no effect whatsoever...:-D


Interesting I have never used Capture One but from what I am reading the default lens profiles don't have color cast correction, but Capture One has a tool called the LCC for removing color cast:

It comes from the glass used in the lens, the coatings used in the lens, and sometimes how the light from the lens hits the sensor, especially in wide angle lenses. In this last case, the color cast is usually not even across the frame.

Nah, that is for cases where the color coming from the lens differs across the frame. That is something a color profile can't handle as it provides only a single "formula" for the resulting color, to be applied equally across the frame. Decent normal lenses don't really have this problem.

Something I've found that is maybe part of the problem is that the adobe profiles in Lightroom and Lightroom classic DO NOT match for this camera. The Classic ones are clearly off in the color tones.

...or is posting this really bad video what's shocking? I get it, you are joking with us...
But, that video is close to seven minutes long and it was annoyingly bad and stupid for six and half. Life is too short for this you know.

Okay, I apologize and offer you this great video as compensation. Anyone who hasn't seen this has lived a life in vain. At least, anyone who has ever been passionate about analog photography and has a sense of humor.😄
