ICC Profile for F707!

Go to last post
It worked for me. I believe you have to select a link specifically for the Sony 707 once you get there.
I havent read it yet.

Actually I have no clue as to what this is about. What program should you use to open or execute the file?
TIA

At long last, someone has made an ICC profile for the 707! Great
find! This might help out with the red issues and such. I'll have
to test it out later and tell you all what I find... Please by all
means tell me what you think if you try it.

I gave it a try. First of all, I do not use color management at default. I use PS 6.0, Trinitron 21" Monitor and an Epson 1200 Stylus Photo. I can say, my results in printing was good so far without color management.

Now I loaded the profile for the F707. As stated in the quick manual, I converted the image to the RGB with the F707 ICC profile. First the colors, expecially red are washed out and completely off, much to orangey.

I did a print and the colors came out from printer as seen on the monitor, very bad.

May I'm doing something wrong, but it does not work for me. I switch back to no color management.

I was excited about it but hadn't tried it yet. I guess I'll stick with the Epson PIM PS6 plugin and epson 2001 colorspace. This has given me the best results so far.

The following link is to a test WITH and WITHOUT using the referenced profile.

The image opened with the Sony profile is #1 (on top).



While this profile does produce an image which seems to be "yellow" biased, that is not the entire story and, after reviewing the test, I think you will agree, especially when you compare the balloon.

The image using the profile seems to have more "pop" which is reflected in the histograms of each. A simple boost of "blue" using Photoshop Levels brings the color balance in line with the "no profile" imag

The only alteration done was a rather severe crop to lower the size of the file, which is still around 169KB.

I tried this and it failed miserably.. Washed everything out. So I went back to plan "A"

Use this



( you will have to cut and paste the link into your web browser) and calibrate the monitor and print to it (Epson C80)

After calibration what I see on the screen is what I get for a print.
