How to create a camera profile for Adobe Lightroom

If you want to get much closer to the in-camera JPEGs, you need to create a camera calibration profile.

  • Export one typical .RW2 as a DNG file. Be sure you have the matching JPEG available.
  • using Adobe’s DNG Profile Editor, tweak the color calibrations until they are satisfactory. Save the Recipe file somewhere, then Export it to the CameraProfiles directory.
  • restart Lightroom 2
  • pick one G1 RAW file, go into the Develop module, pick the camera calibration with the popup menu in the Camera Calibration panel.
  • use the Develop menu to “Set default …”

You can create a camera calibration profile this way to match every in-camera JPEG rendering bundle the camera offers.
