chris_tribble Posted November 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 24, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you've not picked up on this, it's really worth installing the LR 2.6 RC (stable and good) as it includes the Adobe Standard Calibration profile for the M9 (you can make this the default via the Calibration drop down and then the Develop settings - as per below. REALLY recommended - bye bye red faces! Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Advertisement Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Hi chris_tribble, Take a look here M9 now supported in LR 2.6 Release Candidate. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
yanidel Posted November 24, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 24, 2009 I installed last night but was not sure what had to be done so your post is great timing. I am not sure I understand the procedure, what happens in set default settings ? Do you mean I need to put the camera calibration to Adobe Standard than it set default settings ?

sandymc Posted November 24, 2009 Share #4 Posted November 24, 2009 I am also informed (by a reliable source!) that 2.6rc also has a corrected aperture guestimate; as some will be aware, the LR3 one is a bit off. So 2.6rc is probably good all round for M8 and M9 users. Sandy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean I need to put the camera calibration to Adobe Standard than it set default settings ? To any of the development parameters shown on the rigt panel you can assign a default value. This is not limited to the profile but can be done also for the tone curve, for the development sharpening etc. and each combination is camera specific, i.e. will be applied by default to any file belonging to that particular camera you will open afterward. You have first to open a file and once you have decided your optimal combination of setting for that particular camera you can set it as "default" from the development menù. You can also clic on "alt" and the "reset" botton on the bottom left will change in "set default.." Cheers, Ario Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_tribble Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted November 24, 2009 Yanidel - in pictures, you can set things up as per the shot below (although my default WB is "As Shot") and then save these to the default. Dead easy... WOOK - for more performance images go to: Performance Welcome, dear visitor!

yanidel Posted November 24, 2009 Share #9 Posted November 24, 2009 Chris, Ario, So in other words, it is a default preset if none are selected ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ario Arioldi Posted November 24, 2009 Share #10 Posted November 24, 2009 Chris, Ario, So in other words, it is a default preset if none are selected ? Yes, I think it is the selected default profile in LR 2.6. I cannot be 100% sure because I had this profile already as default in LR 2.5 (I got it from LR3 beta). However if you open with LR 2.6 a file which was previously opened with a different profile, the originally used profile will be applied by default.

chris_tribble Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share #11 Posted November 24, 2009 Chris, Ario, So in other words, it is a default preset if none are selected ? Yanidel - be careful here. It's likely that the EMBEDDED profile will be the default if that was what you were using before the upgrade. You'll need to select it and then impose it as the default for FUTURE imports. You can, of course, also apply it to all previous imports - quick way here is to select one image in DEVELOP view, change the calibration profile, switch to LIBRARY view / GRID (shortcut key E followed by G), select everything and then Synchronise (uncheck everything apart from Calbration)... NOT a good idea if you've done a lot of work to get colour right with the old profile, but good if you've not been bothering about the colour too much... It's a big improvement IMO.

Overgaard Posted November 24, 2009 Share #12 Posted November 24, 2009 Hilfe! Now, it seems clear that the Embedded in my case is the Leica M9 Camera Genereic Profile of 18 Sept. So in each image, I can change profile to Adobe Standard which is then the new one. But what I notice then is that if I use the WB picker, WB is not the same for the Leica M9 Camera Generic Profile as for the Adobe Standard. Frankly, I feel like walking on thin ice here. Here's a sample as I would want the output from each profile, why I have adjusted WB by applying the WB picker on her wool shit (which I might add is a very fancy handmade one from Gudrun og Gudrun why it must be perfect). But it changes the Kelvin from 7300 to 7000 and if I don't do that, it just doesn't look good at all. But the question is, how does one MANAGE this shift in profile on previous shots. Is it change profile and then adjust it all once again, or should there be an easier way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it change profile and then adjust it all once again, or should there be an easier way? Thorsten - my experience has been to leave earlier work that I was happy with alone. A retrospective shift of calibration profile shifts everything! What I've done since I adopted the new profile is to use that as the download default - I GREATLY prefer it to the old embedded. I've also imposed it on some earlier, non-critical, work and this has been fine. There were some sets where I'd done a lot of work on the colour as I wasn't happy with it on the basis of the supplied M9 profile - here it was safer to let well enough alone. Simply my experience - but it might help. Best... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overgaard Posted November 24, 2009 Share #14 Posted November 24, 2009 Ok, that makes things clearer. So as long as the new profile does not cane the previous work (because that embedded profile is unchanged till actively changed by the user) there's no need to revisit it, unless there's files one still have attention on fixing. Good. Thanks for making that clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted November 24, 2009 Absolutely correct SFAIK... One of the nice things about Lightroom updates is that they don't mess around with work you've already done. LR3 may be a bit more complicated as I think the data-bases won't be compatible, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it! Best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
