As I pointed out in a posting yesterday, the different manufacturers
implement colorspace s slightly differently than the standard. For
example: Fuji says that the Frontier printers are sRGB machines but
several people have looked at that the Frontiers printers produce and
the actual gamut produced is wider than the sRGB standard says it
should be.
If the camera is doing the basic color processing, then yes of course
Nikon or Canon or Minolta or Fuji or kodak or Imacon or Leaf, etc. can
program in an option that tells the camera to bias the color gamut to
what they think will be a "more pleasing" rendition of color for skin
tones or landscapes. Theoretically It would be possible to bias the
color to look like any color bias you wanted: Velvia, Astia 100F,
Provia 100, Provia 100F, Kodak EPN, E100G, E100GX, Kodak Portra 160VC,
Agfa whatever, etc. of course that means the color wouldn't be
accurate -- for that you have a wide colorspace and NEF and RAW -- but
it could be done. Maybe a smart manufacturer will offer this as an
firmware kit to be sold as an option for those who want such a thing.
