bill_fouche Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I just downloaded from Adobe various camera-specific profiles designed to work with LR 2 and Camera Raw 5.1. These are currently "beta 2." I have noticed a significant improvement in how caucasian skin tones are reproduced in Canon CR2 files. Particularly significant if one choses "Adobe Standard" profile. Subtle improvement in both color and clarity. Anyone else noticed this?

Carl Stone Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 They also work with ACR 4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_smith4 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Thanks! I hadn't seen these. I wasn't all that impressed with the beta 1 profiles for my 20D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_smith4 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Well, the new beta 2 profiles look identical to the beta 1 with the 20D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Stone Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 AFAIK, all the new profiles did was to add some camera models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_fouche Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 Roger, I didn't download beta 1 - you may be right about that, although Adobe FAQ says subtle changes have been made since then on some profiles. Carl, that's incorrect. Some new cameras are covered. But the "Adobe standard" profile is new. And for some cameras at least (perhaps all) - there are now multiple profiles per camera - so that for my camera, for example, (a Canon XTi), I can choose from among several profiles, including a separate one for landscape, portrait, standard, faithful, and one that duplicates in-camera choices (tends to be higher contrast). It's worth playing with. And it doesn't change the LR or ACR code itself. Just adds options in the "profile" drop-down menu. Easy to uninstall, if you decide to.

Carl Stone Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Well, I have multiple Nikon profiles to choose from, as well as others. Sorry for the confusion, it's the beta 2 profiles that I have, but I got them before 10/23/08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
