M10 JPG Lightroom Preset?

I did something similar for the SL, but I've noticed the M10 jpg colours look rich and great and I want to be able to apply the same look to my RAW files as to get the best quality

 

Here is the M10 JPG, followed by the M10 RAW + M10 Profile and the M10 RAW + Adobe Profile

I can spend time trying to recreate it, but if someone has done it already and wants to share - let me know

You just need to set the M10 profile under the Camera Calibration section. It's on the bottom end of the develop menu. This uses the Leica m10 profile instead of the adobe one. You can make an import preset out of this.

 

It seems like you're already doing this, no?

What you describe is the second image, however it still has a pinkish tinge. It is not a match for the m10 jpg processing.

Hmm OK. I have seen this too. It's close but not quite the same. I agree that it would be really nice to be able to have this look as a HEIF or PNG, so it's a worthy pursuit to find out how to get the effect.

 

I've never investigated what the cause of the delta is. It's really obvious on the wallpaper in the images you've posted.

Here are some ideas:

• The M10's sense of what kelvin number is tungsten, or what the as-shot kelvin number is. If it's just a matter of twiddling the green-magenta and blue-yellow that could be it. Maybe adobe is re-setting it to a different number.
• The way the M10 compresses the JPG file down, the color profile a applies.
• Some other internal process in the JPEG create on-camera that could be tough to duplicate.

Found this over on the German M10 thread "M10 vs. M240 - Farben und so ..." (thank goodness for Google translate) and the below settings are turning out to be a very good starting point to finally getting along with the LR M10 profile. I too was finding it two yellow for interiors before these adjustments.  
 

Here again my calibration values ​​for LR (to be set in the development module under camera calibration):

Primary values ​​Red: Hue +10; Saturation -5
Primary values ​​Green: hue 0; Saturation 0
Primary values ​​Blue: hue 0; Saturation -20

The hue red could turn a bit higher, if it is only about the skin tone, but shifts the other too much. The hue of green could turn a bit down, if you used to like Agfa green.

For interiors sometimes I go -30 and more on the blue Saturation. I see the jpgs darker in the shadows, where the DNG's seem to start with more open shadows often, and that might give the sense of the jpgs being richer to you. 

 

I'm also experimenting on working with the jpgs and not the DNG's. Coming from Sony really liking the skin tones and seems quicker to a finished image, so happy so fare. I'm not a fan of the "film look" so these files really working for me.

i had already posted in the german forum " JPG or DNG ". I came to the conclusion, to save your white balanced LR DNG files back to the camera card and reimport them by the leica app.

 

This works for me like a charm. 

 

I have also tried to setup the calibrations:

 

Primary values ​​Red: Hue +10; Saturation -5

Primary values ​​Green: hue 0; Saturation 0

Primary values ​​Blue: hue 0; Saturation -20

 

But the Yellow does never look like the internal rendered JPG´s

 

 

If anyone has a better workflow, i would be very happy too.

So you can get the camera to re-process the DNG into a jpg with the App! Only if there was one for Android. Does that include processing to B&W?

I just did some tests of the various jpg settings on the camera and really liked the B&W it produced, but this was only one scene.

This is correct. because there is no Android app you can do it only with an iphone. 

 

Leica = Shame for this!

 

1. Put your memory card back into the M10

2. Connect the phone to the M10

3. Go to settings and download your images as JPG

 

I´m not sure if the app or the M10 does the rendering. But for me it looks like the camera is doing the rendering.

( I have done some compare between JPG + and RAW converted later with the app ) 

 

For me both look similar, so i could be the case, that the app is controlling the camera processing.

I have never tried B&W, but it should work. i will do a test this week.

I shoot for a press agency and we are required to shoot JPG's due to workflow speed and since I got used to that I began shooting JPG's for every day stuff, dog photos, etc. I was quite pleased to see how nice the M10 renders JPG's (especially the B&W) so I honestly recommend just shooting JPG+DNG. That way, if you come across on image you really want to work on, you always have the digital negative in your archive. For everything else you have a nicely prepped JPG that you can apply minimal tonal edits to. Saves a lot of time!
