Setting camera profile as default

Is it possibile in LR 2.2 to set as default the camera calibration profile
"Camera Standard" (the Canon's picture style) instead of "Adobe Standard" ?
thx
Sandro

To set a profile as default, you should take an image that is completely standard developed (hit reset for example), then select the profile you want to set as the default for that camera, then hit the alt (or option) on mac key and the Reset button will change into "Set Default...". Click it and the camera profile will now be the default for new images or for images that you hit reset on.

Camera Profiles and Defaults

I have been using CS5 and am about to install CS6. For my two cameras, I set up camera profiles and defaults by ISO in Camera Raw. The defaults include initial noise reduction settings for each ISO. Will these profiles and defaults transfer to CS6? If so, can I assume the noise reduction settings will be comparable? Thanks.

IIRC, all of those settings did transfer when I installed Photoshop CS6. But I installed CS6 first and then removed CS5. This broke the external editor link in Lightroom, forcing me to install Lightroom 4 again to reestablish the link.
It's likely that you will have to redo your default settings anyway using the PV 2012 adjustments because they are quite different in some respects. Noise reduction is improved in the new version, so I think you will probably want to reevaluate your default settings.

Setting Camera Profile question

Canon 40D in Lightroom 2.3
While reading the FAQ I noted the statement for the Canon settings:
In general, there are 5 CM profiles per Canon DSLR, one for each of the default Canon Picture Styles. These five Picture Styles are called Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, and Faithful. The CM profiles will match the Canon Picture Styles with all Canon sliders (i.e., Contrast, Color Balance, and Saturation) set to their default values of 0.
What if the Standard style does NOT have the default setting to value of 0?
If the styles should be at value 0 for Lightroom to apply the profile then the words should say exactly that.
My other query is if including several ISO settings when preparing the specific camera profile.
If the image that is open while preparing the profile and settings to be saved as a camera profile has an ISO 200 then when are other ISO ratings included in the camera profile?
Is the camera profile updated by opening another image with an ISO 400 entering any specific adjustment settings then do the update the camera profile? This routine to be repeated for any other IS0 rating.
The detail of adding these ISO ratings to the camera profile are not specificied at the site I visited
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr_camera/camera-defaults.htm
nor do I see it in the FAQ
Appreciate any clarification.

>What if the Standard style does NOT have the default setting to value of 0?
I guess you are referring to the sliders in Lightroom. The text in that FAQ refers to the settings in your camera that override the picture styles. The sliders in Lightroom need to be at their default settings. Those are NOT zero for a lot of the sliders. The default is 5 for blacks, 25 for contrast, 50 for brightness and the tone curve at medium contrast. Everyting else should be at zero. Using these default settings and a camera-matching profile will yield you a rendering that mimics the in-camera jpeg with the same picture style, provided you do not modify the settings in your camera.
>If the image that is open while preparing the profile and settings to be saved as a camera profile has an ISO 200 then when are other ISO ratings included in the camera profile?
The profiles are ISO independent. The color rendering is independent of the ISO of your camera so there is no need for separate camera profiles at different ISOs. To generate a camera profile, you only need to shoot a single image (actually usually two, one in daylight and one in tungsten light) preferably at the lowest ISO so that noise does not screw up the calibration. There are other things automatically taken care of in Lightroom depending on ISO such as baseline noise reduction.

This page talks about camera defaults. This is something completely different from the camera profile. Camera defaults are simply default Develop settings dependent on which camera your RAW file came off off. These default settings can include the application of a camera matching profile and the defaults can be ISO dependent.

Set Camera Profile with a Preset?

I am shooting tethered with a Nikon D700 and I want to apply a camera profile (Nikon D700 Landscape) to each image as it is captured. While tethered, I know how to assign a Preset, what I don't know is how to assign a camera profile to a preset? Thoughts?

You can also fire one shot, then set the profile, then choose 'Same as Previous' from the preset list.

How to set Camera Calibration as default??

I've calibrated my D300 with a Macbeth color chart, and got the altered values from the CS3 Calibration Script. I've entered these values in LR Develop Camera Calibration, then used Option->Set Default->Update to Current Settings. I didn't change any other settings, but now when I import images, they render with the previous White Balance, which came from the camera under incandescent lighting. Importing an outdoor image applies the same, now wrong, white balance. This is because I "Updated to current settings", to get the altered Camera Calibration. What am I doing wrong? I'm doing this in LR 2.0, but I assume 1.4.1 would do the same, no?

Jao -
Tint +5

I used the modified script by ACR-Calibrator-L-V28. Prior to this, I got extreme settings so couldn't use them, but this script, along with more precise instructions worked. I shot the color chart in sunny conditions.
Dave - See above - LR2.0 printing with the 3800 works like 1.4.1. Perfect. I can't go back to LR 1.x. 2.0 is addictive. I just ignore the beta warnings. :-)
BTW In LR after changing JUST the Camera Calibration settings, use Option->Set Default to change calibration for just the camera you used on image selected in Develop. From then on, imported images from that camera will get the overridden calibration settings.

Camera Profiles and DNG Profile Editor beta 2 now available

Hi everyone,
Beta 2 of the camera profiles and DNG Profile Editor are now available. Please visit here and enjoy:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles
I hope to have more detailed release notes/changes for you soon. You are welcome to ask questions, but please note that it may take a while for me to respond.
Eric

Eric,
I followed very carefully your instructions for installing the new beta2 profiles and deleting the beta1 profiles, but have the same problems as many others. I'd like to provide a bit more information. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium and have installed Photoshop CS4, updated with ACR5.1 and Lightroom 2.1 final release. As others have described, the default for all of my images was set to one of the Camera profiles (Canon faithful beta1), but now the profile name in Lightroom is blank. I tried looking at the other profiles and it does indeed appear that the beta2 profile is being used, but if I then reset the image it now shows ACR4.4, whereas the image had been imported with the camera profile as default. Also, if I open an image in ACR5.1 that was specified to use the same camera profile, it now shows ACR4.4 and it is not using the beta2 profile of what I had been using, I can see this by selecting the other profiles. Going back to Lightoom, I guess I could select all my images and select the Canon faithful beta2 profile, but then the mark shows up bottom right of the image showing that they have all been edited/modified, is there anyway to get all my images using the profile I was using but the beta2 version, without this happening and how about new imports?
Thanks, David.

How to set default camera profile?

Hi,
I'm using LR 2.2, and have the camera profiles (love 'em :)
I'd like to arrange that one of these become the default for new imports. How should I do that?
TIA
Simon

There are two ways. One is to take an image taken with the camera you are using. Then you hit reset and the only thing you do is to change the profile to the setting you'd like. Then you hold alt/option and the reset button will change into "set default.." just hit that and now all new imports from that camera will use the profile as default. Secondly, what you can do is generate presets that apply only the profile and simply apply them during import.

Camera Profile Default in LR2--Problems

I downloaded the camera profile betas and Camera Raw 4.5. When working with a Nef, I set a beta camera profile in LR2. No problem. When finished I open another NEF--same thing. Reverts to 4.4 default. Is there no way to make that sticky?
Also, each time I open LR the default profile is Camera Raw 4.4, and I have to reset it. Nefs are all I am testing LR2 with, shot with a D300. How do I get a sticky profile. What am I missing?
Also, since I have Camera Raw 4.5 installed, shouldn't that default to 4.5 instead of 4.4? 4.3 is also on the list, but not 4.5. Why isn't 4.5 available? Have I done something wrong?

Try opening ARC with no photo, set the profile to what you want, and save
it as the default setting. I know I've left out the details, but the
general idea should work.

Setting up camera profiles

I may be confused, but I seem to remember when I was using LR3 Beta, I had a profile set up for my particular camera. Now I am using the release version and I can't seem to find how to set up a particular model or brand in the camera profile.

Lightroom camera profiles don't display model or brand information in their name. That being said, Lightroom will only allow you to select camera profiles designed for a specific model and brand. These profiles have names similar to those used by the camera vendor to describe their looks. For example, Canon users have profiles for Camera Faithful, Camera Neutral, Camera Portrait, Camera Landscape and Camera Standard in addition to Adobe Standard. Nikon users have slightly profiles, some of which include the D2X designation)

What is Adobe Standard and the other camera profiles?

OK, so i'm using my Canon 5d mark II, shooting RAW in the Neutral picture style. When I load the photo into Lightroom, at the bottom under Camera Calibration the program shows that by default it has loaded the photograph using the Adobe Standard camera profile. My question is: Is Lightroom taking the end result of the RAW data being shot with the Neutral picture style and loading it into Lightroom where it translates the photograph (RAW + Neutral picture style) using Adobe Standard? Or is Lightroom taking the photograph (RAW + Neutral picture style) and overriding the Neutral picture style setting in my camera and replacing it with another picture style it calls Adobe Standard?
Another and potentially easier to understand way of asking the question would be if I shot two photographs in RAW, one with the Neutral picture style set in my camera and one with the Landscape setting, and then loaded them into Lightroom using Adobe Standard camera profile, would the two photographs look any different?
Sorry, I am new to digital photography and all adobe programs, and would greatly appreciate the help of a veteran.

The photos would look exactly the same. The picture style that your camera is set on makes no difference to the raw image. That picture style is carried in your raw file as just a tag that tells Canon's raw converter how to interpret the data. Adobe doesn't use that information.
It's up to you to choose the profile that meets your artistic desires.

Camera Profile in Lightroom (X20)

Hi, I'm just beginning with a fujifilm X20 camera and .raf files.
I'm trying Lightroom 5.0 and still not sure if I should use Photoshop instead, here is why :
I tryied to found my camera profile, and it's not in lightroom, found X100 not X20.
I tried by the adobe lens profile downloader, I found 5 profiles for the X10, none for the X10.
Googling about that, I found out that the X20 is supported by Camera Raw, but I can't see how I could get that without Photoshop.
So my question is : what should I do :
- don't care about lens correction ?
- do care and chose one of the five available X10 profiles (but how to chose.. between them)
- switch to Photoshop + Camera Raw wich is supposed to support the X20
Thanks for any help

You may be confusing two concepts.
RAW file support for you camera means that LR will open the RAW file. LR has the Adobe ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) system built in and you don't see it. Photoshop uses the same ACR system, but you do see it as a separate function.
There are two ways you can see if your camera is supported by Lightroom or ACR. One is to find the list of cameras. The other is to see if it works.
The second concept is lens profiles. For fixed lens cameras like yours, the lens corrections are built into the data in the RAW file the camera makes. Unless you have a DSLR with multiple lenses, you can leave the "Lens Corrections" disabled or set to "Default".

DNG Converter 5.2 and Camera Profiles

Hi!
I tried to search for an answer but did not find any.
Question - how and when DNG Converter will use Camera Profiles?
How do I specify which profile to use?
I assume it can use them - version 5.2 comes bundled with them...
Тhanks for the help!
P.S. Since new version has installer, I'd suggest to create uninstaller too.

>This somehow implies that DNG Converter reads settings from installed Lightroom. I'm not sure that this is the case - DNG Converter seems to be completely independent product.
Yes, it does...for the camera model, if you have modified the Camera Raw Default in either Lightroom or Camera Raw then DNG Converter will use the user specified default. If there is no user set default, then of course will use the regular Camera Raw Defaultwhich in the case of 5.2 is now Adobe Standard. (I can't remember what version of DNG Converter started reading the CR prefs).
>If I give DNG file to someone, who uses DNG-compatible program (other than Adobe's), do I have to give him all profiles as well?
If you are using a "custom" profile other than Adobe Standard, the behavior is to embed that profile in the DNG so it is self describing. The only complicating factor is what version of Camera Raw/Lightroom the recipient is using. If they are using a version prior to Lightroom 2 or Camera Raw 4.5, then those older versions ignore the embedded profiles and will use the earlier simple profiles that have been used since DNG/ACR was introduced.
As for checking on updating the DNG Profiles in the future, DNG Converter, as it's rev'ed, will include any new profiles that come out and will update them for any already installed and add any new profiles available for a given camera. The odds of updating existing DNG Profiles is not largethat's what the 2 beta rounds was for, to shake them out. But it's possible. It's more likely that profiles for new cameras will be added.

ACR Camera Profiles and Camera Manufacturing Tolerances

For every camera model there is one set of model specific ACR camera profiles. Although those profiles are model specific, they are not camera specific. I'd suspect that not all cameras of the same model will produce exactly the same colors due to manufacturing variations. I'm wondering if differences in color rendition between cameras of the same model are visible or neglectable? Any experiences?
A similar question: Taking the "same" photo with a Canon 550D and a Nikon D90 camera and processing the RAWs in LR with Adobe Standard profile can result in quite different colors (even when setting WB manually). Shouldn’t the processed photos look almost the same?
Thanks in advance for any help!

My Nikon D80 and D90 don't look the same and I have run comparisons between the Canon 7D and the Nikon D90. Taken together, they all different from each other.
The biggest difference between the D80 and the D90 seems to lie with the much larger dynamic range of the D90. Compared to the D80 at first glance, the D90 seems washed out at the lower values. This is easily overcome in ACR, but even with that, the subjectivity of the reproduction sometimes gives a nod to one over the other.
The closest film comparison is Fuji Astia vs Provia. The D90 at default Nikon Camera Standard resembles Astia, while the D80 is a cross between Provia and Velvia. All this is controlable. One slider I use to enrich the D90 presentation is the black slider
The Canon has other undefined differences which I have simply noted by viewing. I haven't engaged in any tweaking of that camera's images.
So I'll use both the D80 and the D90 according to what I am wanting to happen. Of course, there are times where the differences simply inform the operator of what may be doable, and then one is tweaked to look much like the other.
I checked out sprengel's links to the calibrator software. They have stopped at CS3, it seems. How does it perform with CS5? I may want to at least run a calibration of both cameras and look again.
And, of course, Adobe Standard and Nikon Standard do not agree. At all. So, when is a standard not a standard?
When there is more than one.
Looking back at your post, I should specify that the profile I used when making the comparisons have been the Camera standards, not Adobe Standard.

Apply camera profile

I've imported over 2000 pics into the catalog and I noticed all of them were applied with the Adobe Standard camera profile, is there a way to change this in a single step? It's impossible for me to change the settings one by one. I tried 'copy and paste settings' but it didn't work because camera profile is not included in the copy action.
In addition, how do I set the default camera profile so that future imports will also opened with my camera profile?
Thanks,
ST

It's included under the Camera Calibration section.
You should be able to use Copy/paste or Sync Settings.

Camera Profiles with a Nikon D5200

As from my other threads today, I'm just learning Lightroom and trying to figure things out.
I am shooting with a D5200 and am able to import the raw (NEF) files into Lightroom just fine. I'm thinking that my "Camera Profile" is not being applied to the files correctly because they look really different compared to the JPEG's that are shot. I've tried to go into the "Developer" section and change the "Camera Profile" around from something other than Adobe Standard, but the colors still don't look right.
How do I know which Camera Profile is being applied to the raw photos if the only thing that Lightroom shows is a generic "Adobe Standard", "Camera Standard", Vivid, etc.
Thanks!

Just to be clear, Lightroom does NOT choose ANY profile for raw images from ANY camera. YOU have to choose the profile that you want. Lightroom cannot/does not read that information from the file. Lightroom does NOT use the camera model number as criteria for which profile to use. YOU make that choice. If you find that you use one profile more than others, YOU can change your default settings for your camera to use that profile as a starting point. The profiles provided by Adobe are designed to emulate the camera settings. But they are not intended to be something to use for ultimate results. They are a starting point from which you make other adjustments to get the results you are looking for.
When shooting raw/JPEG the JPEG images may look warmer because they are affected by the in-camera processing. If you find that you consistently need to make your images warmer, make that adjustment along with other adjustments that you want to be standard or automatic, and then make them part of your default settings by saving new default settings.
The default settings which you determine should provide you with a generally acceptable starting point for most of your images. However, you should expect to make individual adjustments as required to get the results you are looking for.
After reading my response I realize I need to make one clarification. Lightroom DOES look at the camera make and model and then allows you to choose from the profiles that were created for that camera. However Lightroom does not choose a profile by itself. While it's true that Adobe Standard is the profile that seems to be the "default" profile, that can be changed to match your shooting style.
If you decide to set camera defaults, you can make those settings camera serial number-specific, or ISO-specific if that is what you feel you need. So far, I haven't found it necessary to go that far. However, I have created my own set of defaults which includes camera profile, white balance, sharpening and noise reduction settings that I find optimal for my camera.
