Presets - Camera Profile Presets
First off, a big thanks to all of the readers/visitors who were at Photoshop World last week and came up and introduced themselves. I had a great time there and it was so cool to get to meet some of the people that visit/post here. Now, on to the presets...
A couple weeks ago, I posted a video on the beta Camera Profiles that Adobe has released over at the Adobe Labs website. At the end of the video I mentioned creating Develop presets for those profiles you like the most, so I decided to do just that for myself. Then I figured I might as well share them this week so you don't have to do the work. The really neat part about using presets for these profiles is that you don't have to select them in the Camera Calibration tab to see what they look like. Instead, just hover over the preset name in the Presets panel and the Navigator will show you a preview so you can quickly see what each looks like. I've created presets for all of the Nikon and Canon profiles (separate downloads below). The one prerequisite is that you'll need to have the camera profiles installed in order to use them so make sure you go back and watch the video to see how.
READ THIS FIRST: These presets only work if you've installed the profiles first. They are not the profiles themselves, but presets to apply the profiles. Also, since the profiles only work with Raw or DNG files, the same holds true with the presets.

I’ve moved over to Lightroom because of these coloUr profiles. Because I shoot Nikon the white balance is ALWAYS wrong so I combine the colour mode with a white balance and sharpening (with medium or strong contrast) for a few presets.
I can then use them on import or for fine tuning in the develope module.

Aloha Matt,
When are you coming back to Hawaii?
Love this set of presets it sure saves time in the sense I forget about these profiles. Now if Adobe or someone can make these profiles work across camera manufacturers. I know camera manufacturers more than likely won’t like this but it sure would be really cool.

As a few other readers have explained, they have downloaded and installed the camera profiles and they have not shown up in the camera calibration pane in light room. Whats up?
