I'm looking for a description of the various color profiles and what they do. Can someone point me in the right direction?

 

It would be helpful to have a description of each Lightroom colour profile and what it does to the image.

 

For example; Artistic 01 - boost magenta, softens shadows etc

 

Thanks legends 🎨

There are some basic descriptions in this article by the Lightroom Queen-

LIGHTROOM RAW & CREATIVE PROFILES (Lr Q)

eg. "..Adobe Color is the new default for color photos. It adds a little more contrast and saturation, while attempting to protect the skin tones."

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

AFAIK, outside of color-matching profiles (to "match" a camera JPEG), there are no descriptions. But it's a bit pointless anyway; view the preview and pick based on the desired rendering.
