Title: Lightroom custom camera profile not being selected
Post by: sharperstill on February 10, 2016, 10:34:46 pm

Hi all,
I have used the X-Rite Lightroom plug in to make custom DNG profiles for my camera in shade & daylight at a variety of ISO settings. I've also checked the two preferences: Make defaults specific to camera serial number, and Make defaults specific to camera ISO setting.
I then import an image taken with the same camera, and observe that once in the Develop module the applied profile is Adobe Standard.
Am I doing something wrong?

Jon

Those settings per se don't select your custom profile, you need to select it and save it as an import preset.

Thanks for your reply.
This seems to mean that the process of marrying images to ISO/Camera specific profiles can't be automated.

OK, this (old) page seems to answer my questions though the process is a little clunkier than i thought it'd be...

Also it appears there can be only one default per camera/ISO combination, so not possible to automate a profile for, say, ISO 200 in shade and ISO 200 in daylight.
