Color Rendition Profiles
Each camera model performs this color rendition in its own way because camera manufacturers know that absolute color fidelity is usually not what is expected by photographers. Each camera therefore produces its own “image look”, very much in the same way that each film type produces a particular “image look”.
With DxO Optics Pro, you can take full control of the color rendition of your Raw images by selecting one of the available profiles, or even importing your own.
 Canon EOS 1D MII |
 Canon EOS 1Ds |
 Nikon D2X |
You can choose to give images shot with a DxO Optics Pro supported camera the look and feel of any other DxO Optics Pro supported camera.
Color rendition profiles are extremely useful when you need to ensure a uniform look across images taken with different camera bodies (even from the same manufacturer):
- Render your backup (e.g., D200) shots into same color profile as your main (e.g., D2X) camera
- Ensure a standard profile across the entire agency while letting your photographers use their preferred cameras
- Give your digital pictures a film look
You can choose to give your Digital SLR pictures a film look, by choosing from the list of available DxO film profiles.

| Camera native color profile | DxO Optics Pro Fidelity color rendition profile |
This DxO Optics Pro fidelity color rendition profile is most useful for pack shot applications, where the image in the photo should match the coloration of the object depicted.
The profile encodes colors with accurate colorimetric rendition and standard tone curves at γ = 2.2, and under daylight (D65) or tungsten (Illuminant A) lighting.
This will allow you to achieve ultimate color fidelity in all other kinds of lighting conditions or alternatively achieve creative color rendering.
