Colour Profiles

[snerkler]

I often use some 3rd party colour profiles in Lightroom rather than Adobe or Camera ones, however you need specific ones for your camera and ideally I’d like to not pay another $25 to get them for my latest camera as I have bought them for several other cameras in the past. Is there a way I can copy and then manipulate the .xmp files so that they work with my latest camera? It's the same brand, different model.

I should not answer. But.. Does lightroom have presets you can save? In camera raw you can save presets (photoshop) and only select the color fields. Then it's simply a matter of loading the preset for your image(s).

Thanks. Profiles are different to presets, profiles are camera specific and you can save the profile as part of your preset but if you load that preset onto an image from a different camera the profile won't work and defaults to Adobe, which has a different colour profile.

Adobe Standard (not color) works pretty well

other than you probably need to make your own calibration, as each camera / lens combo can be slightly different if it matters so much for your work output.

colour charts like spyderchecker come with a piece of software; if you can be bothered to read into it, it can create a profile. That's like if you need to match an exact pantone colour for your client.

Is this any help? Not my info just something I found.

"Everything you need is a batch text editor program that can open multiple and read multiple .xmp from a folder, I used TextCrawler.

Scan your presets folder and then you have to find 3 lines in the XMP and replace them.

crsresetType="Normal" to crsresetType="Look"

crsupportsAmount="False" to crsupportsAmount="True"

crs:CameraProfile="Camera Standard" to crs:CameraProfile="Adobe Standard"

If you don't have one or more of the lines just add it at the end or wherever you want.

Once is done, save new .XMP to a new folder (this is related to your batch text editor), generally you can choose where to save new edited files.

Import XMP from Profiles panel."

Thanks, I’ve already gone ahead and bought the profiles now but this could be useful for next time
