Hello,

Hi!

Just one thing that puzzles me : Nikon ViewNX2 generates a profile for
each picture it processes, so each
profile is based upon the parameters of this picture.

Almost. It generates a different profile for each camera setting (it seems like). So of mine 98 pictures, I got 10 different profiles.

That would mean that, for each picture, one would have to use the
corresponding imported profile, else one
might get even worse results than using the DT dedicated basecurve,
isn't it ?

After applying all 10 different profiles to the same image, I discovered it was only minor differences, and so small I can neglect them. I have never seen them make a worse result than the dedicated base curves. But this is a subjective observation!

That said, I think that that is the way profiles work...
