Video – Calibration Profiles and Presets


Last week, I posted some of my Lightroom presets for the camera profiles that you find in the Camera Calibration panel in Lightroom. After I started reading through the questions and comments I realized that a lot of people didn’t know one of the huge benefits of using presets for the camera profiles. See, the presets I gave out, were simply just shortcuts to the settings in the Calibration panel, rather than my own recipe of settings put together (which is what the presets I usually give away are). So I figured I’d do a quick video to show you a couple of ways that having presets for these profiles helps out. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

    HI Matt,

    How about another follow up video on this.
    I saw a comment in the same one’s you are referring to where someone asked for you to show how you make a calibration preset. So I was hoping you could actually show what sliders and move them around so that maybe we can all make tweeks and create our own calibration presets for cameras other than Nikon or Canon.

    I even have an idea I want to try but need more info on what sliders you move.

    Also how come all the color sliders under are still zero’d out if those are the ones you move around, or did I not understand clear enough when you said you move those around?

    Hi Matt,
    I’m from Germany and a big fan of you articles, videos and comments. Sadly, the videos on your blog can not be opened on the iPad!
    Do you plan to change this in future?

    Thanks
    Markus

    Just wanted to drop in a say that I love Camera Standard for my D800 🙂 Vivid is a little too hot, neutral doesn’t really do much at all, I don’t shoot landscapes and I tend to prefer Standard over Portraits even for portraits.
