Question

The "Camera Monochrome v2" profile of the Z6 is not monochrome throughout.

The profile "Camera Monochrome v2" for the Nikon Z6 should be a monochrome profile. There is a narrow temperature range in which the profile is coloured. If you set the temperature to a value outside this range, it becomes a monochrome profile again. This can be seen in the histogram and also in the RGB values for a point. As long as I use the Z6, this error already exists in LR.

Version: LR Classic 11.3.1

OS: MacOS 12.3.1 (21E258)

The image is colored, not monochrome. Decreasing the temperature (image with the boy) to 5300k changes from color to monochrome.

 

Didn't you provide a WB in the DNG that did produce (for you) the color? I saw none. Do you need to upload a different DNG with another edit?

This also begs the question, with "monochrome" conversions with this profile, why are you altering the color temp?

I'm altering the temperature to get "real" black and white to get rid of colour stitches.

All I can report is what I see from your DNGs with your edits; neutral rendering visually, numerically and in my Histograms.

After setting 'outside this range" you dial down Saturation or Vibrance, what happens? 

I agree as well, we need a DNG with your edits saved and uploaded. DNG so again, whatever settings you've applied are embedded with the raw, for testing.

You can't dial down saturation or vibrance. Both sliders are disabled because it's a monochrome profile.

I downloaded a sample Z 6 raw from dpreview.com and don't see that issue, so it must be photo-dependent. Upload a problem photo to Dropbox or similar and post the sharing link here to allow Adobe to reproduce the problem.

    We really need you to export as DNG with your profile and edits. Those appear to be NEFs. If you give us a DNG, the profile in question, and all your edits are embedded into it, we see what you see. 


    I uploaded both files in DNG format.
