I see that RAW conversion in Adobe products is a common challenge, so I made a custom camera profile for the Nano+ by shooting a color calibration card and using that to create a Digital Camera Profile (DCP) file. I get far better colors with it in Lightroom vs. the built-in profile.

Many thanks for this. Im really struggling to see how to actually use this in photshop cs5.
If anyone could give a step by step guide that would be appreciated.
Ive saved the file into the correct folder, but after that i ma bit stuck
 
Open the DNG in Adobe Camera Raw. Under the histogram is the Profile setting

Click on the icon to the right -- the three squares and the magnifying glass. That opens the Profile Browser

The current one is shown in blue. Click on "Mathew XL724", so it looks like this:

And then click on "Back" under the Histogram to exit the Profile Browser.

Many thanks again.
Maybe my CS5 isnt going to work, or Im completely useless at this, but when i open a dng, i get this, with nowhere I can seem to make the changers.

All the reds were yellow before applying your profile!

Will this profile still work in different lighting conditions?

Thanks!

Might help making removal of the strong vignetting and correcting the distortion towards the corners your first post-processing steps.

pointless to bother wasting time on that since the colour issues is the biggest and hardest issue to correct

Any idea why basic lens corrections like vignette removal are always a first-step part of the development process?
If you ever did infrared photography with a lens causing a hotspot, you'd know. ;)
Reason: Tweaking the RAW often causes the vignette part to change in an uneven way, partly changes it's colors, introduces grain, banding and/or stronger contrasts. This often makes the vignette or parts of it even more prominent and impossible to remove. :/
I found the native tools for vignette removal of e. g. Affinity Photo doing a quite good job at development stage. Not perfect as you can see in my sample shot in the "Why you should ..." thread. But easy to deal with later.
