Update: Added a9 to the last version of the profile (now a73, a7r3 and a9, but tested on a73 only...)

So basically, I'chiliad porting the "Photographic camera Standard" contour created by adobe to Canon Cameras (it'south from EOS R but actually they seem to be the same) to Sony cameras, and so color friction match by eye to Sony files.

A bit more in depth:
- I used dcpTool (costless software) to port the canon profile to sony cameras, changing the name of the photographic camera...
- I'm also replacing the white balance matrix from the original photographic camera to the new camera, to fix the white residuum issues in the first versions
- I've been playing with the curve in the .dcp file. The curve built in the Canon profile is too contrasty, so in before versions I replaced information technology with the Sony camera standard profile curve, and then for a custom made curve, then adjusted with curves in the preset, etc. In the last version, I'm replacing the bend in the .dcp profile for a fully flat curve, and and then in the preset, I'm adjusting the dissimilarity with 3 curves separately, and so I tin better mimic the Canon cold/warm behavior in shadows and highlights. I do this in the post-obit style:

- I downloaded from imaging-resource some jpg shots from the catechism eos R
- I downloaded equally well the a73 raws in the same conditions.
- following the grey patches in the machbeth chart, one past one I adapted the points in the RGB channels to match the catechism jpg from the sony raw, looking at the RGB values in lightroom for every patch.

- Then I tweaked the colors to match the machbeth (matching sony raw to canon jpg) equally skillful equally I could, using the scale sliders first, and the HSL panel later on.
- Then examination the preset in many of my pictures to see how it looks and proceed fine tuning information technology.

Basically that's it
It's a lot of work, I've been working on it for a long time, and yes, it's much easier in the a73 because the colour is only better (and just for that I prefer the a73 instead of the R3), just even so in some fourth dimension I will move to canon (when they add IBIS and more lenses available) because the color science is just better, no matter what some webs or youtubers say, I trust my optics.
