Pre-Built Gamma Curves
The selection of curves provided by Light Illusion attempt to maximise the capture capabilities of the Canon EOS cameras, enabling the most to be made of the images in later post-production, and are based on the very successful Sony Gamma Curves, also from Light Illusion.

While there are limits as to the amount of improvement that can be made with these cameras, using in-camera Gamma Curves helps a lot as they are applied to the image as it is read from the image sensor, pre-compression, and so the advantages are obvious.

Canon Default Settings

Light Illusion Gamma Curve - LI-CUS-01a

Light Illusion Gamma Curve - LI-CUS-02a

Light Illusion Gamma Curve - LI-CUS-03a

As always, test and evaluate the curves prior to using them for real jobs. It is possible that the stretched nature of the high-dynamic range, low contrast curves may push the image data beyond the spatial resolution available with the 8bit capture system and compression employed by the cameras.

The curves are provided as a Zip files, and when extracted will need to loaded into the camera via Canon's EOS utility as Picture Files. See Canon Picture Styles for loading information, and if you are out on location and don't have the EOS utility installed, or have the CD with you, see Install Canon camera software without CD.
