Wrong camera in Color Rendering tool

In a perfect world that would be nice. Tell me what software is free of quirks and inconsistencies.

That is certainly true. But Adobe and Phase 1 have also been around for a very long time. Are you suggesting their software has no issues? I was a software development manager and understand the pressures of getting a product to market. Often design decisions are made that don’t please everyone. minor bugs remain unfixed, etc. I try to focus more on big things that are being done really well rather than a few minor annoyances. In the case of the Color Rendering tool, I have never even thought of it as an issue…

Because that’s a generic version of the camera body (in many cases, a grouping of like models - not specific models) - - and not necessarily exactly the same as any specific camera’s actual rendering.

See here for more on this - - Note the observation by @Egregius/Greg.

Edit: I’ve just encountered an actual case-in-point (reinforcing my point);

  • I have a Sony a7 iii
  • The rendering group for this body was the “Sony a68, A7 III ~” group - but, it’s been moved !!
  • It’s now in the “Sony A7 III, A7C” group … this probably happened with the recent 4.2.1 update.
  • Now, the rendering for the “Sony a68, A7 III ~” group is very slightly different from the “Sony A7 III, A7C” group … and this new model-generic group is actually more accurate than before (I can tell this because it’s the same as Camera Default Rendering).

Edit#2: The grouping for my Olympus OM-D E-M1 III has been moved around too - also with results (for the new grouping in which it now resides) now closer to the actual rendering for this body.

Attention between the generic rendering according to DxO (default) and the standard rendering according to the brand’s criteria.
