Processing and developing photos
Last updated 4/20/2015
You can adjust how Lightroom interprets the color from your camera by using the controls in the Camera Calibration
panel and saving the changes as a preset. You may find it useful to photograph a standard color target under the lighting
you want to calibrate.
1
Select a photo, and then set options in the Camera Calibration panel.
Profile
Sets the profile to use for your camera.
ACR [version]These profiles are compatible with older versions of Camera Raw and Lightroom. The version
corresponds to the version of Camera Raw in which the profile first appeared. Choose an ACR profile if you want
consistent behavior with legacy photos.
Adobe Standard
These profiles significantly improve color rendering, especially in warm tones such as reds,
yellows, and oranges, from earlier Adobe camera profiles. The Profile pop-up menu displays only one Adobe
Standard profile for your camera.
Camera profiles
These profiles attempt to match the camera manufacturer’s color appearance under specific
settings. Use a Camera matching profile if you prefer the color rendering offered by your camera manufacturer’s
software. Camera Matching profiles include the prefix Camera in the profile name.
Embedded
Indicates that the current file (a TIFF, JPEG, or PSD photo) has an embedded profile.
note: Adobe Standard and Camera matching profiles are based on the DNG 1.2 specification. If they do not appear in
the Profile pop-up menu, download latest Lightroom update at
Shadows
Corrects for any green or magenta tint in the shadow areas of the photo.
Red, Green, and Blue Primary
The Hue and Saturation sliders adjust the red, green, and blue in the photo. In
general, adjust the hue first, and then adjust its saturation. Moving the Hue slider to the left (negative value) is
similar to a counterclockwise move on the color wheel; moving it to the right (positive value) is similar to a clockwise
move. Moving the Saturation slider to the left (negative value) desaturates the color; moving it to the right (positive
value) increases saturation.
2
Save the adjustments as a Develop preset. See
Create and apply Develop presets
.
You can apply this preset to other photos taken with the same camera, under similar lighting conditions.
You can also customize camera profiles using the standalone DNG Profile Editor utility. The free DNG Profile Editor
and documentation for it are available for download at
Note: Leave the Camera Calibration panel sliders set to 0 when adjusting camera profiles with the DNG Profile Editor.
Save default settings for cameras
You can save new camera raw defaults for each camera model. Change preference options to determine whether the
camera serial number and ISO settings are included in the defaults.
1
Open Presets preferences, and then select whether you want the camera serial number and the camera ISO setting
to be included in the defaults.
2
In Develop module, select a raw file, change settings, and choose Develop > Set Default Settings.
3
Choose Update To Current Settings.
In Presets preferences, you can choose Reset Default Develop Settings to revert to the original settings.
