[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 801573, member: 47518"] First, really appreciate your many inputs of information for possible solutions to my needs. I was aware of changing the color profile in z6ii and did experiment with one "vivid" for landscape scenes. It turned out the vivid color shade is too "heavy" for my liking. However, IMO, the standard color profile is pretty good for most scenes, much better than D3500 in my experience. I like the natural color flavor for out-of-camera images, then, if needed, process to adjust for special occasions. In the case of this thread, I got the grey sky image from the cast day, that's natural. The key is to lift subjects' shallowness and bring out their highlight details (by tone curve). So even if the D750 color profile is used and the grey sky turns blue, shallows still need to be lifted which will probably affect the sky color again. I checked the link and found that I am out of luck with the dng-converter due to my old Mac machine :( Too bad, it seems so many things waiting for a computer upgrade! [/QUOTE]
