Do you have an update for these as they are 2008 for v 2.2 or something.
Thanks

Hi.. my biggest and biggest problem is that.. photo in the LCD camera IS NOT THE SAME after the photo is uploaded into the PC. The LCD always have good contrast, saturation, and good color balance. I shoot in JPEG.

If anybody is still reading this, I don�t get how to install them so that they show in the Camera Calibration. Of course I can import them into the left pane as a user generated preset, but how to get them into the right pane to camera calibration?
It is not explained in the video�

Thanks for the sweet vid. Be a good idea to remove the references to installing the beta camera profiles now that they’re included in Lightroom 2.2 by default.

Otherwise great work. Now I’ve just gotta go through undoing my custom User Presets and use the Camera Profiles instead!

Using these camera profiles, I get very severe banding in shadow areas.

This is using the ‘Canon Faithful’ profile:

Notice the posterizing in the shadow area. You may have to crane your neck and look down at your screen from a 45-degree angle.

I’ve tried exporting the same image as both sRGB and Adobe RGB, but the results are the same. Then I tried resetting the camera calibration to Lightroom defaults.

This is using the ‘Adobe Standard’ profile:

The banding is gone.

I’ve tried this with RAW files from both an EOS 5D and an EOS-1Ds MkIII. Am I the only one who is having this problem?

Although I’m still not sure how this happened, if anyone else finds they have the same problem, the beta versions can be deleted. You should read the Adobe FAQ related to this. See http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles_FAQ#DeleteOldProfiles and the two subsequent FAQs, and http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles_FAQ#WhereInstall for the files locations.

Thanks again Matt for the tip. The result are very good.

Matt,

I’m impressed with the results but I may have made a mistake also. I used the link on the labs.adobe.com site and installed the DMG (I’m using a Mac) and ended up with both “beta 2″ and non-beta versions of each of the profiles. I’m suspecting that I already had the Nikon profiles I needed for my camera. I wonder if I can get rid of the beta versions. Looking in applications for something to delete didn’t work. Is it as easy as deleting something within Lightroom 2 contents? Do I also need to delete something in the Photoshop content?

Just in case anyone cares, I didn’t notice any obvious difference between the impact of the beta and non-beta profiles.

Thanks!

Just installed your presets. They work well with my Canon 20D images. The preview functionality they provide is a real time saver. Many thanks for making them available.

Hi, can you create presets for the two new picture styles/profiles created for Canon called P-Snap and P Studio?

Thanks
