skimmel Posted March 28, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had a chance to play with an M240 at Leica Miami this week and am just sitting down to compare with M9 images. I updated Lightroom to 4.4RC which supports the new M, but not sure which profile to use. Do I use "embedded" or "adobe standard"? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Hi skimmel, Take a look here Which Profile to use in LR 4.4. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Jeff S Posted March 28, 2013 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2013 Personal choice; try them both and see what you think. Things may evolve further by the time the final version is available. In any case, the profiles are meant as a starting point for your own interpretations. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimmel Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks. So far,the Adobe seems a bit better to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ario Arioldi Posted March 28, 2013 Share #4 Posted March 28, 2013 It is also possible to build your own profile e.g. using the DNG Profile Editor either editing one of the profiles already provided or starting from scratch with a Color Checker.

Ecar Posted March 28, 2013 Share #5 Posted March 28, 2013 Both Embedded and Adobe Standard need substantial tweaking. Start with the one you're more comfortable with. My starting point is Embedded - YMMV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted March 28, 2013 Share #6 Posted March 28, 2013 Strongly recommend using Adobe Standard. I transforms the way the DNG converter interprets reds and skin tones + everything else. IMHO Embedded is to be avoided. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had found a decent tweak recipe with Embedded but will follow your suggestion and do another try starting with Adobe Standard, although this may turn out to be useless once a FW correction and/or the final version of LR 4.4 are released.

thighslapper Posted March 29, 2013 Share #8 Posted March 29, 2013 I'm rather confused by LR4........ M9 files have embedded and Adobe Standard on camera calibration...... .... but the M240 lists only embedded....... I can't find any setting anywhere else to bring this option up..... On the M9 images Embedded and Adobe bring up different WB figures.... although the actual image in LR4 hardly seems to change at all.... If you transpose the M9 adobe WB figures (temp tint) to an identical M240 embedded image I get virtually identical images in terms of colour profile. This works with almost every image in a wide range of situations. It corrects all the aberrent OOC WB warmth and red balance effects that I have seen in my M240 images..... Embedded versus embedded doesnt work. Both cameras were set to Auto WB. I'm sure there is some sense behind this behaviour but I cannot fathom what is going on....

ho_co Posted March 31, 2013 Share #9 Posted March 31, 2013 M9 files have embedded and Adobe Standard on camera calibration...... .... but the M240 lists only embedded....... My guess is that once Leica finalize the color in the M240 firmware, Adobe will make the modifications needed to come up with an Adobe Standard rendition for the camera.
