Example ~ Sony "Natural Colors" Picture Profile recipe

I could have started this series of examples with following, a hand rolled Sony Picture Profile that is subtle and beautiful in a Hasselblad Phocus "Natural Colors" with "Nature" setting enabled kind of way.

It's surprising to me just how closely the following recipe matches RentWare's "RentWare Standard" _and_ Hasselblad Phocus' demosaic'd color managed color palette.  95% of the time there is no visible/useful/meaningful difference between any of them.

The naming of the following recipe is mostly arbitrary but obviously hints at what my goal was.  When I want to use in-camera color management for creating jpg's (as opposed to shooting just RAW and processing later on the Big Computer) I find I prefer this to Sony "Creative Look - Standard."
