The ETC profiles have been around a long while, free for a time (in the early days), then available at a cost as they were improved. Camera profile creation is a time consuming process and arguably error prone anyway. Depending on how much you think your camera is changing over time or how different it is from the device used to take measurements for the profile, the ETC profiles (in CE) may not have great value.
You can get a rough idea about their workings by selecting images and switching between the ETC profile and the internal one in the Batch tab. If you get that "wow, those greens are smack on now", then it might be worth a penny or two per image. |
