I have created Invariant profiles (see my previous post) for all the camera profiles that shipped with Lightroom 3.0. I have also created them for the Version2 Beta profiles that were released by Adobe Labs for the Nikon D3 and D700. You can download them from the links below:
The profiles should work with Lightroom 2 and 3 and also ACR 5 and above (I haven't tested them all though as I don't own all the cameras)
Installation Instructions:
Unzip the file which will create a folder containing all the profiles
If you are on Mac OS X, drag the folder to:
If you are on Windows XP, drag the folder to:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
If you are on Windows Vista or Windows 7, drag the folder to:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
Note that the above path on Windows Vista and Windows 7 may be hidden
by default. Check your folder settings.
Hi Nik, I often use your profiles on my D700 - switching between them and checking effects. Thank you so much for your work. Have you made any new custom profiles (eg Niks Default v3) specific for LR3?
ReplyDeleteCheers
Thanks for the feedback. All the profiles can be used in LR 2 & 3.
ReplyDeleteHi Nik,
ReplyDeleteWhat is the difference between Nik Standard 1 & 2 Picture Control you created last time?
Both profiles shift the hues the same way, version 2 just shifts further than version 1. The tone curve is the same as Camera Standard in both cases.
ReplyDeleteSome really useful posts here Nik, many thanks.
ReplyDeleteI've been a Lightroom user since its pre-release days and had played around with invariate untwisted Camera Profiles a while ago but never really got into them. Having some recent images where I was unable to get the result I wanted prompted me to try again. The difference is quite remarkable using your D700 profiles. I can now get the result I'm after, which is exactly how I pre-visualised the scenes I'm dealing with.
I plan to write up my experiences on my site and will link through to yours if that's ok.
Thanks for the feedback Roy, its good to know I've been of some help. Feel free to link and pass on any info on my site.
ReplyDeleteHave you had any success with the -u untwist command : I always seem to get an error messsage that states that 2 input files are required ?
ReplyDeleteI tested on a MAC using the following command ok.
ReplyDelete./dcpTool -u 'Nikon D700 Camera Standard v2.dcp' 'Nikon D700 Camera Standard v2_utwisted.dcp'
All files in the same directory.
I'll post the Lightroom 3.2 profiles shortly for download.
ReplyDeleteNik any updates for lightroom 3.2
ReplyDeleteYes, check out the home page or http://www.nikplayer.com/2010/09/lightroom-32-invariant-untwisted-camera.html
ReplyDeleteI just rebuilt my pc, and moved from LR2/CS4 to 3.2/5. I used your camera profiles on virtually every image, if nothing more than to have another check/option. Great tool!
ReplyDeleteWhen installing in the ACR camera profiles folder, should we drag the whole lot, or just those for our camera?
I put the whole lot in there so I can use them on any camera thats supported. It doesn't impact LR at all, just uses a few MB of disk space.
ReplyDeleteSo it doesn't matter if I just drag the folders pertinent to my cameras?
ReplyDeleteThat will be fine too.
ReplyDeletefantastic work...
ReplyDeleteone question from me.
in windows 7 i following your words
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
then i find 2 folders
one ''Adobe Standard'', and one ''cameras''.
the second also have adobe standard profile in each camera
1. where do i have to install your profiles
2. why are they differnt folders?
1) Just put the new folder next to the 2 that are already there.
ReplyDelete2) It sounds like you already have some profiles installed there. Adobe Standard contains the Adobe Standard profiles for all cameras. The Cameras folder contains profiles that are designed to match the camera manufacturers in camera settings.
There is a newer set of profiles on my blog here http://www.nikplayer.com/2010/09/lightroom-32-invariant-untwisted-camera.html
thank u nik
ReplyDeletefor example for a 5d mark ii i have to choose the 5d mark ii adobe standard profile And the 5d mark ii camera profiles and put them in a new folder (which i have to throw next to the 2 defaults)...
greetings from greece
thanks a lot
Yes you can do that. You can just put the whole folder with all the profiles in there. It doesn't take up much space. I have just released the LR3.3 profiles today if you want the latest set.
ReplyDeleteWhere I can find it when i open lightroom..i put them in Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles
ReplyDeleteCamera Calibration panel in the Develop Module of Lightroom. They will only show up for RAW files.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded your camera profiles for Pentax K-7. I don't have K-7, but recently got Pentax 654. I cannot open the K-7 profiles on 654 raw files. Is there any easy fix for me so I can have 645 to read the K-7 cameraprofiles?
ReplyDelete(by the way I am a D3s user)
No there isn't, the profiles from Adobe are model specific.
