New 5D Presets For LR & ACR

I have just completed a set of beta presets for the 5D for use in ACR & Lightroom.

Anybody wanting to test them and provide feedback please mail me at: info AT huelight.com

The presets are hand made, I do not use scripts as accuracy is not guaranteed.

Changes include:-

- Improvement on standard muddy colors
- Various Hue Corrections

Thanks

Great stuff - Im email you

harry: I'm pretty sure you used to host them on your site as I came across it while searching for profiles for the 350D at dpreview. Why did you remove them?

And why didn't the 350 profiles ever appear like I noticed in your posts?

That is great!!! emailing you right now

I'm always glad too see some improvements on a 5D an LR....

Thank you for emailing the presets! So what do I do now? I imported the presets to the lightroom. I am opening a picture, applying the preset, nothing seem to happen. Is there a special way of using it?
Thank you!

Just for people who don't know you, what enhancements to these plug-ins bring?

just a question not an accusation, I noticed there was also a file on my desktop ending in .exe after dlownlaoding, was this an extraneous windows version of it or something that sneaked in the back door?

I'm also curious - thanks in advance.

I am wondering the same.

From my uninformed POV, ACR, compared to other programs such as DPP, don't exactly get their colours spot on. My 350D, when using ACR, is reasonably hopeless with colours, in particular, the red.

To fix this, you can shoot a colour chart (such as a Gretag Macbeth) and then use a freely available script to analyse the image and provide you with the correct adjustments to feed into ACR/LR.

Now, purists will say that every camera is different and you must shoot the chart yourself and then analyse the image. I say, that something is better than nothing and since tweaking my ACR, my colours and clarity are improved. Reds are a thousand times better.

And, for the 350D users, here is my user preset for LR and a 'Daylight' colour cast (but I find it improves most images, no matter the WB):

Red Primary
Hue: -12
Sat: +28

Green Primary
-27
-21

Blue Primary
-3
+2

Edit: Tweaked my interest and did some more research, 350D Daylight (5000K) values have changed.

So this is almost Greek to me, can I just go ahead and get your presets and not use them as presets but adjust in the appropriate sliders in LIghtroom to see what they look like, will that be the same thing but one photo at a time?

Yes, if you adjusted each slider at a time, that is the same as a Preset. Just extra work.

Every camera is different though. There are plenty of articles floating around and I do remember coming across some with values created for different cameras but I didn't bother with them as I was only looking for 350D.

Try Googling. I can't find the original articles I was looking at but here is quite the informative one I just found then: http://people.csail.mi​t.edu/ericchan/dp/acr/ or this one: http://www.photoactivi​ty.com …ratori%20al%20s​ole_en.asp
