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

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.

So kind of you, many thanks

 

Are the app settings in Lightroom or I have to go to app setttings in the app settings of the Ipad pro?

App settings in Lightroom — go to the three dots in the top right. In the drop down menu you will find app settings

I have found the settings 

Tomorrow I will try it out. 

Many thanks for your help!

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.

'It will should then respect the settings from the camera.'   🤣

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.

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.

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.

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! 🙂
