Thank you, I will definitely try to hone in on those to see if it makes a difference.
Those are very beautiful images. I had better luck today with some shots I took earlier. I think I just need some more time to get a system down and accept that editing the Sony files is going to be a little different than the Nikon files.
I gave you a suggestion back on page one as to what to do. And reiterated it on page 2 and then the in the post you quoted. Wasn't trying to belittle. Shoot the same scene or use the DPR test scene and compare like to like. Until you do that you are just beating around the bush for 4 pages of posts. This is not an Adobe issue per se, it is a like for like issue. Sure there are going to be little differences, no camera processes the exact same.
Ultimately all I made the post for is to just see if most people used certain profiles with Sony files as opposed to Nikon files. Sorry about flying off the handle, was having a really bad morning. I’ve just never seen files take on such a color cast as the Sony. I’m going to try some jpegs today with the standard in body profile to see what they look like. I’ve pretty much always shot the same with whatever camera I’ve owned and that’s manual with auto iso. I found yesterday that my results in the Sony seem better with full manual including iso and using zeebras. I really do like the A1 and the 200-600 zoom but was just taken aback by how different the files look SOOC compared to Nikon. I think the A1 still has a little better focus than the Z9 but the Z9 is certainly excellent. I’ll also try to shoot some side by side images today at the same settings to see how they look.
I have started using Adobe RGB about a year ago and I have both cameras the Z9 and the A1 set to that color spaceIn my A1 menu> Image Quality> Color Space: AdobeRGB
I honestly have no idea how this affects my RAW files. It was a set it and forget it for me. Maybe default
sRGB or AdobeRGB
I have tried using just the Adobe color profile as well as landscape and have tried using camera standard for the Sony. I am finding that daylight white balance seems to work better than manual white balance adjustment or at least on the images I have tried so far
In Lightroom classic if you look on the top right side it will say Adobe if you click the down arrow it will pull up and let you browse different color profiles
Are you using the Adobe rgb colorspace or srgb in camera?
sRGB for all my cameras.
I will give that a try. I'll put the camera back to srgb and experiment with the in camera WB settings. I had always used srbg until about a year ago and decided to try it. I guess it really makes no sense to use it considering 95% of everything including most printing requires srgb.
Well all be damned. I never have messed with this and just use it as defaulted. So are we saying selecting a camera profile improves processing? This is how mine is set which is default I tend to hit auto see what it does and than make changes to my taste from there I typically don’t spend more than a couple minutes and I’m done I’m sure masters of editing would improve my shots but I am not a big fan of editing
Go to browse in that drop down menu and it will show them.
Looks really good to me. I might warm it just a tad but again that's all subjective. I'd be satisfied with that as is though.
I honestly think that's a very interesting photo. I think the warm grass and cool water with the ice is pretty awesome.
Here is my sRGB profile raw file processed through DXO Photolab5
The water seems to have a green cast but it might be that way in real life.
