These Raw files will open in their edited state if imported into Lightroom or Lightroom Classic. The FE 50-150 F2 GM Lens Profile was not available at the time of sharing these images, so I have applied some manual corrections which 'partly', but not fully, correct some lens distortions.

Hello Mark, a little while back you answered someone's question by telling them you drag your hero images into a LR CC folder. Now I am doing that and it is such a relief for me. I just wanted to say thank you. Since the coming of LR CC I have not been able to understand what the new "ecosystem" was about. With help from @Gemini and you I think I finally have it in my head. Thank you again.

Thanks for the positive feedback Cheryl. It's a workflow that I am currently using while traveling in Vietnam with my MacBook Pro and a tiny 4TB SSD.

Mark, apologies for posting this in the wrong place, but it says "Comments are disabled for this post" on the April 2025 member Q&A thread. You may recall I created a custom camera profile for my A1 II about 10 days ago. Since then, I've done extensive comparisons on images I've shot between that profile and the Adobe Color profile in Lightroom. In 9/10 cases the Adobe Color profile is truer to color that I see with my eyes. I've asked my wife and others to look at the comparisons and they agree. For example, the A1 II custom profile renders my daughter's navy blue saddle profile as purple and her brown/bay mare as a reddish color. I've tried created a develop preset with orange and red reduced to -20, but the effect is still pronounced. Is it possible I did something wrong when photographing the target? I did a dual-illuminant profile, so I took one shot in full sun and one in shade and made sure they were properly exposed. I used a manual WB and kept the ISO setting constant, just varying aperture and shutter speed.

That must have been a Patreon glitch as the forum mysteriously changed to a state of 'comments disabled' - even though it has be receiving questions all month until a few days ago. Your question about your camera profile is an interesting observation that I have not experienced. You could try repeating the profile creation process using color temperatures more extreme than Sun and Shade. Many photographers use Daylight and Tungsten, but as I rarely shoot under artificial light sources I moved to using shade rather than tungsten. When colours are lit by artificial light sources the colours often appear different due to the fact that artificial light sources nearly always have gaps in the color spectrum they emit so the colours reflected by the subject matter appear different when these same colours are lit by daylight. Another factor that has to be considered is the profile that was created for your viewing monitor, as their are different qualities of monitor calibration devices that are available and different workflows for creating a monitor profile (quick and extended workflows using a fewer or more color patches). Even the type of monitor can make a difference as some have reflective screens (apple displays for instance) which will echo strong colours present in the viewing environment (my walls are painted neutral grey and I use a Solux daylight globe when viewing the monitor after dark even though the surface of my monitor is not a glossy surface). If the Adobe Color profile is more accurate, in your case, this may be the case for your specific A1 camera, but it may not be the same for other A1 cameras, where the sensors have slightly different characteristics to the one in your camera. The bottom line is that once you have created a default starting point when working with your specific camera, then it is job done, as you only have to periodically check the monitor profile is still good for color consistency to be achieved. Few photographers ever engage in this process so you are definitely in the 1% club in this regard :-)
