There may still be differences, like noise reduction (which is not enabled with the above profile). Notice I said 'almost perfectly' in step 3.

Then in RawTherapee's settings, set the standard profile for RAW files to this profile. I have called it 'DCP tone curve without vignette corr.pp3'.

To have the above PP3 profile be applied automatically for every image, save it in the profiles directory (~/.config/RawTherapee/profiles).Now to match the SOOC JPEG almost perfectly, you will have to adjust a few settings: use the DCP's tone curve, use neutral exposure settings in the Exposure module, enable distortion correction, disable vignetting correction (if it's off on your camera as well) and enable CA correction.After doing this, the option 'Camera-specific color profile' will be selected for images made with this camera. I had to rename the file to 'Panasonic DMC-G80.dcp' for RawTherapee to pick it up (it will automatically look for files that have the same name as the camera model in the EXIF info). I prefer to have this done automatically, so I copied my favourite profile (Panasonic DMC-G8 Camera Standard.dcp) to the 'dcpprofiles' directory (on Linux: ~/.config/RawTherapee/dcpprofiles for other platforms, see ). However, you'd have to do this manually for every photo. dcp files for your camera anywhere and use them by opening the Color tab, clicking Color Management and then manually select the DCP profile. Instructions on getting these profiles can be found here: Get one or more DCP profiles for your camera by copying it from the Adobe DNG Converter.Since RawTherapee introduced the 'Auto-Matched Tone Curve' feature, it has become pretty easy to come fairly close to the SOOC image, but I noticed certain colours (especially highly saturated blue) would still be rendered a bit differently, and the tone-curve matching algorithm seems to have problems when your input has blown highlights.Īfter a while, I found out that you can get a closely matching image by using a DCP profile. I like to start my RAW editing process with an image that closely matches the JPEG output of the camera.
