LR-PROF-CAMERACOLOR: bundled Sony ILCE-7CR camera profile

Fitted with `lightcraft-cli calibrate` to 125 usable ILCE-7CR ARWs (of 131,
September 2025 to September 2026, Standard creative style) and their
in-camera JPEGs; aggregate colour statistics only.

Without it, 8 of the 131 photos fail the fit gates and open with the
neutral matrix (dE76 6-26 against the camera JPEG). On 26 withheld photos
(profile fitted to the other 105) mean dE76 goes 4.07 -> 3.29 and both
withheld rejections are accepted (26.0 -> 6.1, 6.2 -> 5.5); the 24
withheld photos whose own fit was accepted are about unchanged (12
improve, mean 3.06 -> 3.08, worst regression 1.8). With the final profile
all 131 are accepted. The nine public raw.pixls.us ILCE-7CR codings stay
accepted (mean 1.59 -> 1.99).

A corpus test checks the public lossless-L sample's fit keeps exactly the
built-in profile's matrix and table.

 One photo can show too little of a colour for its own fit to learn it: in a second shot of the lime shirt only a few dozen proxy pixels show it, next to a hillside of foliage at the same hue that the camera renders differently, and the shirt stayed yellow (hue 68° against the JPEG's 82°; a 192-pixel proxy only reached 74°). `lightcraft-cli calibrate [--max N] [--out DIR] FOLDERS…` therefore pools the colour pairs of many ARWs, NEFs or RAFs per camera model — each against its own embedded JPEG, at a 192-pixel proxy, at most 4000 pairs per photo, files spread evenly over the folders — and fits one matrix (from white-balanced camera RGB, so no single photo's white point is baked in) and one hue/saturation/value table.

+Fitted from 125 usable photos of 131 ILCE-7CR ARWs (one photographer, September 2025 to September 2026, Standard creative style with DRO off, Lv3 or Auto; 127 uncompressed, 2 compressed, 2 lossless compressed), 448,230 colour pairs. Measured as above: rendered at 1200 px with `lightcraft-cli render`, mean CIE76 ΔE against each file's embedded JPEG at 200 px.
+
+Without a profile, 123 of the 131 photos accept their own fit; the other 8 open with the neutral fallback at ΔE 6–26. For validation every fifth photo in sorted name order (26) was withheld and a profile fitted to the other 105 (100 usable). On the withheld photos mean ΔE went from 4.07 with per-file fitting to 3.29 with the profile. Both withheld photos whose own fit is rejected are accepted (ΔE 26.0 → 6.1 on a night scene, 6.2 → 5.5). Withheld photos whose own fit was accepted are about unchanged and move both ways: 12 of 24 improve, mean ΔE 3.06 → 3.08, largest regression 1.8. On that photo (gold tinsel bokeh) the profile turns a blue light blue again where the per-file fit had made it teal, but renders the gold slightly more saturated than the camera. With the final profile all 131 photos are accepted, and the 8 previously rejected ones land at ΔE 1.3–5.7; that comparison is in-sample.
+
+The nine public raw.pixls.us ILCE-7CR files are one scene in every coding the camera writes (uncompressed, lossless compressed L, M and S, compressed, full frame and APS-C crop). They were not used for fitting. All nine accept their own fit at ΔE 1.3–2.1 and stay accepted with the profile, at ΔE 1.5–2.9 (mean 1.59 → 1.99). On this colourful daylight scene the per-file fit is already close. The subsampled M and S codings, which decode with unity white-balance gains, move most (2.0 → 2.8). This is a camera-JPEG look estimate like the others, not measured calibration or Lightroom parity.

 ## Nikon crop and preview colour metadata
 
 Nikon maker-note `CropArea` (0x0045) supplies the default `[left, top, width, height]` crop. The decoder validates the rectangle against the active sensor area and falls back to that area for missing or invalid values. The CFA origin is unchanged; cropping follows demosaicing.

+| LR-PROF-CAMERACOLOR | Camera colour calibration (own) | P0 | 🟡 | `crates/raw/src/color.rs`, `crates/raw/src/profile.rs`, `crates/raw/src/gaintable.rs`, `crates/engine/src/camera_preview.rs` | DNG files use the colour matrices and the camera-profile look they carry (`ProfileHueSatMap`, `ProfileLookTable`, `ProfileToneCurve`, read from the file at run time per DNG spec ch. 6 — Lightroom-converted DNGs rendered flat and muted without them, issue #138). A DNG's `ProfileGainTableMap` / `ProfileGainTableMap2` (Apple ProRAW's local tone map; both versions, DNG 1.7 precedence, the file's byte order with a big-endian fallback) is read and written back by DNG export and not rendered by default, as Lightroom Classic renders ProRAW without it (measured on one CC0 iPhone 12 Pro ProRAW); the Profile option "Camera local tone mapping" (`profile.camera_local_tone`, per photo, off by default, `crates/pipeline/src/local_tone.rs`) renders it as the camera does, per output pixel in the scene-linear stage (CPU, also under the GPU path); Sony ARW, Nikon NEF, Panasonic RW2, Fujifilm RAF, Canon CR3 and CR2, Pentax PEF and Samsung SRW get a guarded file-local fit to their own embedded JPEG — chromaticity matrix + hue/saturation/value table + tone and chroma curves, relative WB — or, with a bundled or local per-model profile pooled from many photos (`lightcraft-cli calibrate`, ARW, NEF and RAF so far, `crates/engine/src/camera_profiles.rs`), the profile's colour and only their own tone/chroma curves (on 29 held-out ILCE-7M4 photos mean ΔE vs the camera JPEG 3.54 → 3.10; bundled ILCE-7CR from 125 photos: 26 held-out 4.07 → 3.29, and every one of the 131 photos accepted, 8 of which fell back to neutral without it), kept with smart previews (see docs/camera-preview-colour.md); ARW: on 10 public raw.pixls.us samples from 8 bodies 7 fits were accepted, mean ΔE vs the camera JPEG 17–26 → 3–10; NEF: 13 of 13 decodable samples (D750, D780, D850, D7500, Z 50 and local D7500 shots) accepted, ΔE 13–46 → 3–8 (issue #150); RW2 / RWL: 140 of 174 public samples accepted, from 93 of the 114 bodies with a preview, median ΔE 5.0 with matching lightness (13 of the 14 corpus files with a preview: ΔE 9.6–27 → 2.8–8.9; most rejections are compacts and kit zooms whose camera JPEG is distortion-corrected); a fit that fails the gates on all pixels is retried away from edges, where a lens-corrected camera JPEG still lines up (issue #232: the six distortion-corrected public ILCE-7RM2 samples ΔE 16.6–16.9 → 3.7–3.8, the corpus GX80 19.1 → 7.9); RAF: bundled X-H2S/X-T4 profiles from 201/545 photos; on 150 withheld files mean ΔE improves slightly over per-file fitting (X-H2S 1.70 → 1.62, X-T4 2.43 → 2.34); 23 of 24 references from 13 bodies accepted, including the dark X-H2S samples (8.74 → 2.25) (`docs/camera-preview-colour.md`); this is not measured camera calibration; other raws and rejected fits use a neutral fallback (camera RGB ≈ linear sRGB, `matrix_is_fallback`) with as-shot white balance, so colours are muted and not accurate. Needs our own per-camera calibration: matrices the files carry themselves (e.g. Olympus `ColorMatrix`), fitting each camera to its own embedded JPEG, then chart shots. Adobe matrices / DCPs are never used. Biggest image-quality gap today |
