Amidst all of the performance complaints and problems may folks have with printing, I have to say the new Camera Profiles are a huge success. They are a fundamental change to the application that completely changed my impression and attitude toward LR. My new Canon G10 forced me to go back to DPP until the ACR 5.2 DNG Converter came out, and when I did some comparisons: LR2-DNG to DPP, the LR2 images were so much better. The colors were very close but the LR2 images had a depth and range that wasn't evident in DPP. I've noticed as well that all cries of "my image look different in LR" have disappeared from the forums since the Camera Profiles release, always a good sign.
I'm pretty sure Eric Chan was instrumental in their development, possibly others that frequent this forum. Would like to let them know that their work is admired and appreciated.
