UPDATE!
I have uploaded a new set of PP3 files. There are some noise reduction tweaks & other minor adjustments.
I added 5 new Pentax color tone PP3 files that use the
auto-matched tone curve feature in the
Exposure tab for those that use jpeg "enhancements" like D-range settings & similar in their cameras. They're located inside the
TSM - PP3 Optional - Color folder. They rely on the .dcp files that are included in the zip file. Basically, they won't work correctly, unless you install those .dcp files where they need to go or you edit the PP3 files to point to the correct location of the .dcp files.
Before using a
Pentax color tone - Auto-Matched Tone Curve PP3 file, try using the regular one. If you don't like the result or the brightness & contrast looks a lot different from the OOC jpeg, then use the auto-matched PP3 file. RawTherapee will match the OOC jpeg's tone curve when using the
Pentax color tone - Auto-Matched Tone Curve PP3 file. Keep in mind that there will be times where RawTherapee won't be able to match the tone curve & the image will look washed out. You'll then need to play with the tone curve and/or add contrast or something. The auto-matched PP3 files are set to sRGB color space to avoid shifting the colors a bit too much. You can change it to ProPhoto after if you like. These are meant to be used with the
Standard tone curve in the
Exposure tab. You can change the tone curve to
Standard after applying the PP3 file or keep using the default
Film-like curve if you like it.
I have a Windows 64bit build on my
Google Drive that uses the
Standard tone curve by default instead of the
Film-like tone curve used in the regular builds. The PP3 files are already included into the build. You just need to install the .dcp files on your own if you haven't done so already. The instructions are inside the zip file.
One More thing that I did was change the
Output Profile to
sRGB Color Space Profile instead of using the default
RTv4_sRGB profile in the
Color Management area of the
Color tab. Most image viewers tend to struggle with RTv4_sRGB images. You can still change it if you like, but RawTherapee doesn't show a preview for it. You only notice the difference after comparing a RTv4_sRGB jpeg to an sRGB Color Space Profile jpeg with an image viewer.
OK! Have fun!
