Ronaldraw Posted January 16, 2024 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am working on a photo reproduction (hairpieces). In Lightroom, I constantly have to correct the colors. I have read that you can set your camera via the Camera Matching profile instead of Adobe. Is this also possible with the Q2 and how to do that? If not, what is good advice? I use Lr mobile on an Ipad pro Hope to hearing from you 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 16, 2024 Posted January 16, 2024 Hi Ronaldraw, Take a look here How to get original colors in Lightroom Mobile. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
thegobi Posted January 16, 2024 Share #2 Posted January 16, 2024 Not sure if this is what you are after, but in Lr go to: App settings —> Import —> Raw Default Settings and set it to ‘Camera settings’ It will then respect the settings from the camera. You can also customise it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegobi Posted January 16, 2024 Share #4 Posted January 16, 2024 App settings in Lightroom — go to the three dots in the top right. In the drop down menu you will find app settings Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltz Posted January 16, 2024 Share #6 Posted January 16, 2024 I don’t know if Lightroom mobile is different, but on the desktop there is no way of getting the Leica standard profile that Leica uses in its JPEGs into the program. I tested the camera matching profile setting a few weeks ago and it’s NOT the matching Leica profile. I’m perplexed as to why they can’t make this happen.

Ronaldraw Posted January 17, 2024 Author Share #8 Posted January 17, 2024 You can't set Lr in camera settings in Lr cc, like as in Lr mobile? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Lr mobile on an Ipad pro Hope to hearing from you The standard way for colour fidelity in product photography is to use a Greta Macbeth chart like the Xrite Passport in the light that you use for the shoot. Then you can create a dedicated profile in Lightroom. Provided you use a calibrated monitor the colour should be very close to reality. If you are working for prints you need to pay attention to the printing colour management and viewing light as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans-Dieter Gülicher Posted January 17, 2024 Share #10 Posted January 17, 2024 (edited) As to my personal understanding the discussion on "orginal colors" is a very theoretical matter. Since about 15 years my way is the Adobe-rgb-workfow. That means generally starting with dng`s, ACR etc. etc. If I take a new picture after development the colors may meet my ideas at this moment. But after one year I am absolutey sure these "original colors" are wrong. It`s a matter of very individual mamory. But true colors are important in case professional product advertising! Further bear in mind the Old Masters paintings. Edited January 17, 2024 by Hans-Dieter Gülicher Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 17, 2024 Share #11 Posted January 17, 2024 If you really want to master colour management a must-read is Real World Color Management by Fraser et al. Not a new book but a clear explanation of all the basics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldraw Posted January 17, 2024 Author Share #13 Posted January 17, 2024 I have just imported new photos into Lr mobile with the Camera setting on. Unfortunately, I had to adjust the colors of some hairpieces based on the original. Especially the dark and gold-like colors are challenging. I must mention that I flashed the reproduction with a salmon-colored background. This likely has an impact as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegobi Posted January 17, 2024 Share #14 Posted January 17, 2024 As jaapv alluded, colour management can be quite a complicated thing to master. If you keep everything consistent, I suspect the best you can hope for using Lr and an iPad is a baseline starting point for your edits. Beyond that you may need the full version of Lightroom and a calibrated monitor capable of displaying the colour space you are working in ( it is astonishing how many monitors can’t even fully support sRGB, let alone the Adobe colour space ) from there you would set up your own profiles. This is too big a topic for a Leica Q forum! Good luck! 🙂 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 17, 2024 Share #15 Posted January 17, 2024 Ind ed. A calibrated Adobe RGB or P3 monitor is the primary necessity to get decent colours. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans-Dieter Gülicher Posted January 17, 2024 Share #16 Posted January 17, 2024 I use monitors with ADOBE-rgb-profile. For ACR-Photoshop picture processing and HDAV-presentation desktop 4500 x 3000 px, laptop 3240 x 2160 px or traveling around 1920 x 1280 px. For printing: Epson SC P600 on especially evaluated photo paper. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
