Great tips what you got here, tks a lot for sharing your knowledge!

I use Lightroom 3.2 (had some troubles with 3.4.1, so I regret to version 3.2). I have installed the camera profiles as per your instructions in the video, but I can’t open the video with the instructions for installing your presets, I got a Canon and would like to see how these presets work. Can you help me, please?

Thanks a lot,

When I started using LR I had a Canon 20D. I downloaded the beta profiles (why do they stay beta forever?), and was happy with the results.

Now, I also own an Olympus camera, and I discovered to my surprise that Adobe does ONLY supports Canon and Nikon with their profiles??

What’s the idea here? LightRoom is for Canon and Nikon users only?

Yes, I can create my own profiles… First of all: A lot of people are not able to, secondly, who has the time to go through the process?

Can Adobe please clarify? Is LightRoom forever going to be a Canon / Nikon app? If so, it sends a strong signal to other camera users to go shopping for other album program or RAW converters.

Puzzled.

But this changes when I first enter the Camera Calibration section and change the profile. After that, when I hover over the presets, the Navigator Preview shows the changes and clicking on them changes the image.

Does Matt or anyone else have a reason for this strange behavior?

I am a bit stumped and hope you or someone can help. I loaded the camera profiles beta 2 and your LR templates but I am not seeing the camera profile anywhere inside Lightroom or in Camera Raw. How is one supposed to make use of those camera profile (.dcp) files ???

I am at my wits end with trying to get LR to render D3 and D3x images correctly and have spent months fiddling and trying things but it still messes up the rendering and I cannot believe that there is not some simple way to tell LR to render these files correctly. Every other imaging program I have ever used, Capture NX, DXO, CaptureOne, even IrfanView, all show the D3/x files the way they should appear but Lightroom/Adobe seem to have their own idea of what the image should look like and no matter how much tweaking I do it’s still not right. For instance I may be able to tweak the develop setting for one set of images and get them to look “ok” but then that same set of tweaks applied to other images makes them look even worse than what LR rendered them.

What irks me most is that when new images are imported into LR their thumbnails look 100% like they looked in camera, after double clicking on an image to view it at 1:1 for a mere 2-3 seconds the full size image looks perfect but then LR does it’s rendering guesswork and messes it up. I wish there was some way to tell LR not to render the file but rather just display it 1:1 based on the embedded thumbnail, it seems to have the ability to do this for the first 2-3 seconds after opening it at 1:1.

This is the one and only thing keeping me from using Lightroom in a production environment and I wish this was not the case. I have worked with numerous professional image editing suites and LR is the only one to not be able to render my files correctly. Lightroom hands down beats any other software as far as cataloging and ease of raw processing goes and if I can resolve this one major problem I would put it into full swing. I just cannot manage images where I cannot see what the image truly looks like without spending time fiddling with it to appear sort of correctly.

Help !!!

Any chance to get some for the Fuji S5 Pro?
