Marie-Noëlle,
I understand that artistically, but technically I'd like something that my
camera presents to be as close to a starting point for me in my work. If I
should choose to change it, then that's great, but something that simply
does not match, regardless of what settings I apply is a problem.
Furthermore, Canon's engineer's have done a great job in some cases with
the way they interpret the colours. They are a camera and imaging company
- that they would do a decent job is expected.
That said, again, artistically I totally understand where you're coming
from.
