Thanks Chris! I'm on OS X too, so the profiles were easy to find (/Applications/Capture One.app/Contents/Frameworks/AppCore.framework/Resources/Profiles/Input was the full path for me). Although when I look at the profiles using the built in OS X tool (ColorSync Utility), I find that the K3 profile has a lot less tags. E.g. I don't see any black point data although the K-5 v2 profile has it (see attached screenshot).
Anyway, unfortunately I'm only a hobby photographer, so can't really say I have a calibrated work flow. Also I can't really say my eyes are trained enough to spot incorrect colors unless they're radically wrong (such as was the case when you tried to open a k3 DNG before the k3 profile was in the software). Do you have any suggestions on what type of photos to take in order to best illustrate the problem, what to look for, or how to do a comparison? I'd like to be able to see the issue with my own eyes also before I join you in raising heat at C1.

Interesting finding, with the colors being washed out and the profile being a copy of the K5 one. I haven't done too much comparison yet, but will have to keep this in mind with the next pictures I take. One thing though, where did you find the color profile file? Because if it is readable and one can edit it, then in theory there's nothing stopping us from creating our own, better profile? Only downside would be that a software update might overwrite it, and of course the community doing something the company should have done...

hmm, I don't think multi-awb was the factory default. At least not for me. So perhaps the firmware did change something, especially if all shots you're taking now look good.

Having processed somewhere around 2000 images from a K5 with C1 before upgrading to the K3, I can say I've never seen similar discoloration as rawr showed in the screenshots with the DNG's from the K5. But of course, that doesn't mean it might not occur sometimes...

Is ordering from Amazon.com or one of the European alternatives an option? Downside of course that you don't get a hands-on preview before purchasing...

wow, this ISO-tweaking was something I've never thought about. One more argument to put in the bag when friends wonder why I prefer my K-3 over a canikon alternative :)

The ones I've looked at so far in CO 7.2.1 all looked good and were very close or practically identical to their jpg counterparts (been shooting jpg+raw for the last couple of months). Usually the DNG looked better than the jpg. Using DNG format directly from camera. Haven't tried the PEF format.
Could it be that your picture with mismatched colors was shot using the multi-awb option of the K-3? Wouldn't surprise me if that was a feature that CO did not yet support properly...

@ k5george Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out.
What settings are you using in the DNG converter? I tried running a PEF file through it and then open the resulting DNG in C1 but still got the purple tint.

So Capture One 7.1.6 came out today, unfortunately it did not include support for the K-3. The following Pentax cameras were added though: K50, Q10 and Q7.
I finally found a contact form on the mess that is Ricoh Europes pages, if anyone else needs it: http://pentax-ricoh.quicksupportlink.com/callform/pages/callform.asp?c_id=4. I fired off an enquiry there as well, let's see what the reply is. In the mean time I'd ask others to also put some pressure on both Pentax and Phase One about getting support for the K-3.

To get back to this a bit. Does anyone know of any contact info to Pentax/Ricoh through which one could send an email to them? I got the suggestion from the phase one forums to try and check with Pentax if they've supplied Phase One with a k-3 so they could create the necessary profile for the k-3 in Capture One. But browsing the Pentax site I can't find any email or even contact form to use if I just want to fire off an email to them...
In the mean time I had a look at the suggested softwares, but I don't really want to fork out that kind of money again since I just put my money on C1. So for now I'm shooting DNG+jpg. The Adobe dng converter is able to convert the DNG's to something OS X understands (although C1 is still just playing dumb), and using the jpg's I have the option to forward something quickly if need be.. Not ideal, but I'll manage I guess. Lightroom just announced support for the k-3, so maybe I'll try that for the trial duration...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try out Photo Ninja and Iridient Developer while waiting for Phase One to get a profile into C1. Will also see if I can find some good test shots to send in.

Hello all,
The short version: Is anyone here using Capture One 7 to process DNG files from the K-3? If so, what steps do you take to convert the DNG from the camera to a format that C1 understands?
I've taken a couple hundred shots with the K3, but now that I wanted to import them into Capture One for further processing, to my dismay I noticed that all images have the colors all messed up :( No amount of adjustment I make within C1 corrects it.
The issue apparently is that C1 doesn't have a ICC profile for the K-3 yet, and none of the other Pentax profiles are able to get close enough either. I was in touch with Phase One tech support about this, but their only answer basically was that they've logged my request, but can't give any sort of estimate as to when a profile for the K-3 will be available within C1 (small company and all). I've tried using Adobe's DNG converter to convert the files from the camera to a version that C1 would understand, but so far haven't found a setting that worked (although running the files through the converter did produce a version that OS X is now able to preview).
Any suggestions?
