NOTES ON COLOR MEASUREMENT
When opening a Minolta-RAW image (p. 68), color information recorded on location with
a Minolta color meter can be used to set the white balance of the image. If the image is
captured under a continuous source like the sun or tungsten lighting, the corresponding
measurement can be very effective in balancing the color of the image. However,
because the spectral response of the camera’s CCD and the color meter are not the
same, if images are captured under lighting with a discontinuous line spectrum like
fluorescent or mercury vapor, the values recorded with the color meter may not result in
an accurate reproduction.
EMBEDDED CAMERA COLOR PROFILES
Certain Minolta digital cameras, such as the DiMAGE 7Hi or DiMAGE A1, can embed the
camera’s color profile into the image data for color matching. The color mode on the
camera determines the profile: sRGB, used with Natural and Vivid Color, or Adobe RGB.
By setting the color space to either Original Color Space (sRGB) or Original Color Space
(Adobe RGB) in the color preference window, the DiMAGE Viewer can determine the
color space embedded in the image and adjust accordingly. If the color space is not
embedded in the image, the color space must be set manually for both color spaces, see
color matching on page 82.
