Nikon Z9 Camera Preset in LRC

  • December 26, 2021

LRC 11.1 Camera Raw 14 Windows 10

The settings in LRC for the Nikon Z9 Camera profile are:

  • Texture +20
  • Clarity +10
  • Sharpening Radius 2.0
  • NR Luminance 39
  • Detail 75

I am not happy with the rendered image. Can I build a preset that adjusts these setting back to zero, or closer to zero?

I note in quick develop only clarity is available.

Thank you, appreciate any advice

Correct answer flashpixx

Sorry John my previous response was a bit confusing.

When I first imported images from the Z9 I noticed that the sliders were always in the same position, as noted in my first post. I'd not noticed this before with any other camera.

Prior to setting up my own preset this is what the preset tab looked like:


Thanks John, that certainly explains it.

I don't have a sample Z 9 .nef, but for other newer cameras, Nikon has been including default LR settings in the .nef file itself. For example, a Z 6 II .nef contains these develop settings:

[XMP]           Exposure 2012                   : 0.00
[XMP]           Highlights 2012                 : 0
[XMP]           Shadows 2012                    : 0
[XMP]           Luminance Smoothing             : 25
[XMP]           Luminance Noise Reduction Detail: 75
[XMP]           Luminance Noise Reduction Contrast: 0
[XMP]           Color Noise Reduction           : 10
[XMP]           Color Noise Reduction Detail    : 50
[XMP]           Color Noise Reduction Smoothness: 50
[XMP]           Sharpness                       : 40
[XMP]           Sharpen Radius                  : 2.00
[XMP]           Sharpen Detail                  : 25
[XMP]           Sharpen Edge Masking            : 0
[XMP]           Contrast 2012                   : 10
[XMP]           Saturation                      : 1
[XMP]           Camera Profile                  : Camera Standard

 

If you've told LR to use the Camera Settings as the default settings for that camera in Preferences > Presets, then when you import one of those .nefs, those settings will be used.
