Not sure what you mean, but 4.4 is an upgrade, not an "advanced software for pro cameras".So if you can get the upgrade, it's a good thing to do.Camera calibration is, to my knowledge, only useful if you shoot under controlled lighting conditions, e.g. using studio flashes where the light is of always repeatable quality.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=206885\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Which like much of your other "knowledge" of things digital, is more ignorance than anything else. Properly adjusting the calibration settings in ACR will do more for getting good color from your converted RAWs than pretty much anything else, in almost any lighting. Buy a Color Checker and download ACR Calibrator L and follow the instructions, and see for yourself.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=208214\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Jonathan, what if you do not have photoshop and have a XT .What would you do to get those settings ?I have seen some and tried them as presets and they turn skin color too red.Thanks Don[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=208219\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

You need to run the script in Photoshop. But once the script is run, the results can be used in LR or PS. You need to run the script on a RAW from your camera, as there is significant variation from camera to camera. I just finished running the script on RAWs from 5 Nikon D200 cameras, some of which had consecutive serial numbers. I shot the same Color Checker in direct sunlight with all cameras, and none of them had the same calibration settings, even the ones with consecutive serials. Using someone else's camera calibration settings is rather like using someone else's toothbrush.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=208251\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
So if you use multiple camera's does Lightroom keep track of this automatically by the camera serial number and apply changes or do you need to apply the calibration information by keeping files in separate directories? TIA[{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Ian Lyons has an article on how to do this (here).[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=208668\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
However I'm struggling to understand if Lightroom only discriminates the Camera Calibration setting on import? or is there a way to apply the calibration setting (by camera) to images that are already in the library. What I see so far is that I can save the camera settings in a preset but it always applies the same setting to either camera?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=209051\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Once you've defined a new default for a given camera, LR will use that whenever it's looking for a default. This will be either when you:import new images, orreset an existing image back to "default".Select a relevant existing image (or multiple images), and reset the develop settings. You should get the behaviour you're after.If you've got images you've already tweaked, you can set up a preset containing just IIn calibration data and apply that to the relevant IIn images. Do the same for 10D images you've already tweaked.Of course you'll need to go through those images again and check what the new calibration's done to your earlier work. This is why you don't want it silently changing all images from each camera. But if you're happy resetting an image back to defaults it will use the new defaults you've set up.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=209066\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
