John.of.Gaunt Posted October 25, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, Does anybody shares his optimised presets for the M9 in this forum with a lrtemplate-File? I am new to the digital world, just playing arround with the settings in lightroom probably does not create the best results... Best regards J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Hi John.of.Gaunt, Take a look here Preset Leica M9 lrtemplate-File. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
chrism Posted October 25, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 25, 2009 I suspect you mean the profile for the M9 in Lightroom? Officially there isn't one yet, but if you download the beta of Lightroom 3 from Adobe and install it, you will get a profile that shows up in the Camera Calibration pane as "Adobe Standard". There is also a profile made by one of our members that can be downloaded from this site. Between the embedded profile, the Adobe Standard and the Chromasoft profile, you can usually find something that works. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very natural colours. It was really helpful of Sandy to make that profile available! Thanks a lot... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John.of.Gaunt Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted October 25, 2009 yes, I am talking about Lightroom 2. For other cameras there are template settings in form of lrtemplate-files. If you open it, its just an text-file with different settings. I thought, that experienced people in this forum might have created there own solution until Adobe gives us an official version.

We're talking about Lightroom 2 as well. What you need is a camera profile (*.dcp) like the one from Chromasoft above. You install it into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/Camera/ (Mac) This will give you very accurate colour. Takes 2 mins to download and install. In the Develop Module look at the 'Calibration' pane and it will show up there. Hope this sorts you out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_tribble Posted October 26, 2009 Share #7 Posted October 26, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Much as I appreciated the Chromasoft profile which was so generously provided in the very early days, I'm finding the new LR3 "Adobe Standard" profile works better for me - and is find in LR 2.5. As Howard said - check the other thread. Instructions there to download and install. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I need just to find back the ColorChecker and make some new profiles under different light temperatures... I'm gonna be sleepless for the next few days!

As Howard said - check the other thread. Instructions there to download and install. You're referring to that the new LR3 "Adobe Standard" profile will be available in LR 2.5 and LR 2.4 and down as soon as one has downloaded the trial (even if one don't use it), right? It's not in the LR 2.5 from beginning as far as I know. One can have all three and see the difference in the preview of your DN picture in LR.

As Howard said - check the other thread. Instructions there to download and install. I just downloaded LR3 Beta on another computer and then copied over the 'M9 Digital Camera Adobe Standard.dcp' file which gets installed (I have a strict rule about not installing any pre-production software on my main computer). It shows up fine in Lightroom 2.5. The differences between Embedded, Adobe Standard and the the Chromasoft profiles are slight and you need to compare a lot of images on a good screen and make a couple of prints (all calibrated of course). I think the Adobe Standard profile renders the most natural looking skin tones; magenta tones are suppressed nicely. I don't know if it's more (or less) correct but it looks better.
