The Nikon D70 Custom Tone Curves

Update 13th May 2005 :

My latest tone curves for the Nikon D70

- sReala (Digital Fuji Superia Reala): Taken from my MTB V1 curve with slight adjustments for medium grey calabration and highlight detail...
- Astia (Digitial Fuji Astia): This curve is a calabrated adjustment of the Provia curve made by fotogenetic for the D100...
- Optima (Digital Agfa Optima) : This curve is based on the origonal sReala curve but with a minor adjustment to give a different curve response. The adjustment effectivly calabrates the curve for 12% grey, similar to the normal curve...

Thanks for posting this info. Does it work for Nikon D50 & Canon 350D?

I was wondering, does the custom curve can do the image processing to make it looks like IR Photography. I think it's a very interesting curve, regarding to have to take a apart the hot mirror or buying an IR filter. Does anyone try to it? Sorry for my english

I have downloaded your curves and I would like to ask your opinion as to which one you feel might be best for use in shots - outdoors - in June - in Italy and Greece. Thanks

I really like the Optima curve. I am really new to the D70 and don't even want to get into post processing yet, and the curve really gives me some usable images with pop without having to monkey around. Awesome work and thanks again.

Any chance of posting some comparisons between the curves using a human subject?

Thank you so much for sharing all this technical data. You shed light to the tone curve mystery of the D70 that bogged me down. Very kind of you.
