I would like to reverse engineer a camera profile

[Chris Deutsch]

I really like the profile "Camera Portrait" for Sony cameras (I have an Alpha 7rII), but I'm not a fan of the color distortions it provides, which is why I would like to tweak it.

I can use the HSL and calibration sliders, but they will only get me so far, and, for practical purposes, I would like to combine it all in a single custom profile. Yes, I have the HSL sliders at my disposal for this, but not the calibration sliders, and, as said above, they will only get me so far.

I would like to reverse engineer this camera profile (or any of them), so I can have full control. I could do this by creating a LUT, but I would need to apply the profile to a specific comparison image, like the one attached, but this is not possible, since camera-specific profiles can only be applied to RAW photos coming from the targeted camera.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

In the end, I just used Adobe's DNG Profile Editor. That gave me access to calibration sliders, which I made do with for my needs.
