Hasselblad RAW processing — HNCS and profiles

[blackspirit]

Hi
For those how want to know the details of the RAW PROCESSING WORKFLOW with Hasselblad, i just have watched this (old) video (and i share the link from the part of the explanation) https://youtu.be/lZthFo98HTk?t=972
In my case, i wanted to know in wich profile i was working in Phocus, and to be able to choose the best TIFF export for my workflow. What i have discovered is that the V4 in the exposition panel support the HDR. But it disable the reproduction panel who let you choose your workspace. If i swich from v4 to v3 in the exposition panel, then i can choose the L* Hasselblad (close to ProPhoto) or the Hasselblad RGB (close to Adobe RGB).
So for exemple in art reproduction, V3 and L Hasselblad (linear) is the choice to preserve the best dynamic range before exporting in TIFF 16bit (same as source for profile, or prophoto or what you want) to work in PS or C1 if needed.

Yes, it's a pity v4 doesn't allow any longer Hasselblad L* RGB working space.
Actually, many printers go beyond Adobe RGB (Hasselblad RGB) for some colors. Using Hasselblad L* RGB would be much better, even when printing is concerned.

Yes i agree ! So i am using v3 when i want the larger dynamic range... Maybe some future update will change this ?

V4 seems to be at the most charitable an early Beta rushed out because they have to support the X2DII. Also seems that for Hasselblad/DJI the (strong) push now is to Phocus Mobile.

Phocus mobile on my iPad is more optimized and quicker than the Phocus desktop app with my M1 ultra. But some feature are missing at this time. Anyway, we need a better Phocus desktop for sure ! I come from capture One with the GFX and the Canon R5 and it's a pain to work with Phocus 4. So my actual process is only to use Phocus to export in TFF 16bit with HNCS color science.
