A couple from today. Adobe Standard profile, AWB, opened in LR, and not touched except zero Tint. The last two are crops. The Noctilux captures the tones nicely stopped down. I have a few with the Summicron 75 at f/5.6 as well. Full resolution starting at number four here: https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-R3M9Qc/

For those who would like another starting point in LR and are not as skilled as Andy, Colin over at Huelight has added a few profiles for the M10. I must say, the Huelight Low V160 profile gets you some really punchy colors but that are not off like with the stock profile. In fact, if one reduces Tint and adjusts Temperature a bit they sometimes come close to the M9 colors (using the Adobe Standard profile).

 

Here are some uncompressed files: https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-Z83P9C/

Thanks for all these comparisons. Apart from the difference in colour and saturation It's really quite surprising to see how little difference there is between the M9 and the M10. Much less than I thought.

First make a decent camera profile using a ColorcheckerPassport.

The way you propose to do it will be a test of your postprocessing program and raw converter, not of the camera.

 

I have made profiles with the Colorchecker passport but I find using the stand alone Adobe DNG profile Editor give far better skin tones, the redish tone in some portraits is completely fixed!, I have made profiles for the Q and also the SL with good results.

I have been fixing the red cast using selective color In PS but now using the camera profiles made with the DNG Profiler give far better results, the monitors I use have been calibrated using BasICColor Display.

Yes- one can make an individual profile using the Adobe DNG Profile Editor, but it works best if you use a DNG of the Greta-Macbeth Colour Chart.

Am I the only one who finds the colors from the M10 to be significantly over saturated with (especially) the M10 profile in Lightroom? Better with the Adobe profile but I still find myself backing off the Saturation by -15 to -25 to get anywhere near reality...

 

 

Over saturated? No way! But you can certainly process to get paster colors if you wish, but not for the subject below.

 

Looking into this Chiang Mai art and antique store, along the south moat of the old city, I was taken with the saturated colors and beauty of this Buddha. Not an antique, it was carved in wood in Northern Thailand about thirty years ago, in a Burmese style. In taking the picture, I was standing in the open front of the store, whose owners are a pleasant older couple.

I've struggled with both the Adobe and Leica colour profiles.

 

I bought the Huelight profile that was recently released. I'm using the Standard+ profile.

It's early days, but seems to be better.  Skin tones and white balances are easier to deal with.  And I get more pleasing and deep, but not annoyingly so, colours.  Again, still early days....

Willeica, I get the bit about the saturation slider.

Perhaps I should have posted in a different thread.  My problems with the Adobe and Leica M10 profiles have been much more than just saturation. The colours and white balance were also off and hard to correct.  South East Asian skin tones would go violent orange for example.   So far so good with the Huelight.

 

Everyone please ignore my post #111 -- it's misleading in a thread about saturation.

Russell, you post is fine. The "global" saturation slider changes saturation for all colors equally. It is a sledge-hammer. Profiles (and the sliders used to modify them in Lightroom's calibration panel) adjust individual primary colors separately, for a better balance of saturation across red, green and blue (and secondarily, cyan, magenta and yellow).

 

Control of saturation solely by the global slider may adjust reds to be a user's preferred saturation - but leave the greens and blues dull and lifeless (or still too saturated). It works well - if the profile and calibration adjustments to the profile are already balanced. We need both.
