So give it a try and see how you like that as a starting point. Open Photoshop, and choose a raw file type to open. If you shoot with a mix of camera bodies where some may have camera matching profiles and some do not, you can override the global setting by specifying defaults for individual cameras too (scroll down to the Make Defaults Specific to Each Camera section). There is no wrong answer, but I wanted to alert anyone in case they encounter this type of situation, as it can happen to other cameras as well. Camera matching profiles are just a best attempt at emulation, so you can create your own profiles with product like the ColorChecker Passport or you can buy pre-made emulation profiles from third-party vendors, or you can just stick to the Adobe profiles if you like those. Could there be in the future? That’s up to Adobe, and they don’t usually announce those things in advance, so we’ll just have to wait and see. By Jack Davis A New Supercharged Engine Again Once more Adobe couldn’t leave well enough alone (thankfully), and they’ve taken the brand new 2012 processing engine that powers the new Lightroom 4 and incorporated it into our beloved Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). If you shoot with a camera like the Canon R5 or R6 then you may have realized that there are not any camera specific profiles for those cameras (just the generic Adobe profiles). There’s always a caveat, isn’t there? What if LrC doesn’t have any camera specific profiles that correspond to the in-camera picture style? In that case it defaults back to apply Adobe Color as the profile. Go to the following location on your computer: C:UsersUser NameAppDataRoamingAdobeCameraRawSettings 2. Installing Presets on Adobe Camera Raw 1. So, if you deliberately set your camera to shoot using the Standard picture style, then on import the only difference you would see is that LrC set the profile for all raw photos to Camera Standard instead of Adobe Color. Windows(user)/Application Data/Adobe/Camera Raw/Settings or C:Users-user name/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings. Youll find all installed Presets within the Develop module, (Preset Section) on the left side. The one distinction with this setting is that LrC attempts to discern the in-camera picture style you choose when shooting and then apply its own version of the raw profile that corresponds to that picture style. When you choose Camera Settings it uses all the same settings as the Adobe Default, so no huge changes in your settings if you’ve never configured anything before. You can get super specific and detailed in your Raw Default if that suits your needs, but an easy way to test drive the feature is to configure it to Camera Settings.
I love encouraging people to consider customizing their Raw Default for Lightroom Classic (LrC) and Camera Raw because it allows you to start post-processing right from the moment you import without having to configure anything specific to that import job.
