Any LUT for viewing raw sensor data vs canon color profiles?

[jakebrusha]

Hi all,

Been using ML Raw for years now and I'm wondering if there's some way to have a LUT or canon profile that is more accurate than cinestyle or a neutral canon color profile to get a better representation of what the sensor is recording while I'm shooting. Has anyone ever created anything more proficient? I would be extremely appreciative for any information in regards to this.

Thank you in advance,

Jake

Please note that the sensor gathers data and much depends on how that data is "developed" so to speak. CineStyle and the Canon color profiles don't affect the raw video--well, maybe it can as I'm starting to find out but it is all about what you do in post.

I personally use the Landscape Picture Style , even thou it's very contrasty it seem to get the closest
reputation of the sensor raw data you see in dng's
Here a comment from a1ex about that , if any one would know Re: What PICTURE STYLE to use while recording RAW

Yeah but a1ex also said:

You can even go further and try some cartoon effects, they shouldn't be visible on raw.

Basically you can develop raw to match any picture style you want so the choice over which one to use when shooting is really up to personal preferences. a1ex's recommendation to turn up the sharpness all the way makes it easier to focus but you certainly don't want your graded video to look like that.

Thank you so much! This is what I was hoping for! I will be spending the evening researching through this topic. It's funny, I've been using raw for a long time now, but since i bought a small HD 502 monitor I've been trying to get some sort of "log lut" for my 5d3 raw. The idea of that is pretty funny, i know, but i want a more accurate representation of the highlights I'm losing/saving in camera.

Thank you again! I will be giving this a shot as well. I appreciate your responses

Sincerely,

When I look at the LCD while recording I care about:
1. Framing. It's obvious.
2. Exposure. Raw histogram works pretty well.
3. Focus... It's a real pain. Any low contrast profile just make this task more complex.
Am I missing something? What else are you lookihg for?

No !!!! You just lose your highlights this way. Learn to understand the histogram better.
