Importing Camera Profiles to Develop Module

Camera profiles are camera-specific, so you can't use a Nikon D3 profile for a Nikon D810 camera.

My initial thoughts, thank you for confirming Johan

As I recall you can, however, create new profiles for your D810. Somewhere on Adobe's web site there is a profile editor application.

The simplest way to create a profile that I have found is with the Color Checker Passport. It includes a plugin which will create and save the profile for you, all you need do is take a properly exposed image of the color chart (included).

I create one for each venue that I shoot regularly that has unusual lighting, e.g. sodium or mercury vapor or LED. It helps true up the colors. I also created a daylight one and find it helps the different camera bodies look more similar.

Note that user created profiles are stored in a different place than adobe provided. This link gives a lot of details on where things are kept.

And yes, you can create them with the free profile editor, but you have to have a very good quality color card to do so.

Thank you, Louie certainly worth checking out,

Hi Ferguson,

This certainly looks a more thorough method, will look at purchasing a colour checker, X-Rite I believe, and for the informative link clears some issues regarding where folders are linked.

Thank you all for your comments
