Hi everyone, I have posted a zip file containing updated "Camera" color profiles (Camera Standard, Camera Neutral, etc.) for the Nikon D3, Nikon D300, and Nikon D700. The zip file contains a copy of the readme, but I'll post it here for convenience, too: For lack of a better name, I am calling these "v3" beta profiles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BETA RELEASE NOTES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview These updated Camera v3 beta profiles for the Nikon D3, Nikon D300, and Nikon D700 are designed to reduce banding and highlight color artifacts. They also address the "too bright" tone curve issues with the previous "v2" version of the D3 and D700 profiles. IMPORTANT NOTE: When using these v3 beta profiles, if you wish to match the default tonality of Nikon's Picture Controls (e.g., match View NX / Capture NX), you must set the Exposure slider in Camera Raw / Lightroom to -0.5. Of course, feel free to adjust Exposure to make your image brighter or darker as you like. But in terms of matching Nikon's default tonality, you must set the Exposure slider to -0.5, or the default will be too bright. For workflow convenience, you can use presets in Camera Raw / Lightroom to take care of both (e.g., simultaneously set the profile to "Camera Standard" and set Exposure to -0.5). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation If you are on Mac OS X, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles If you are on Windows XP, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles If you are on Windows Vista or Windows 7, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles Note that the above path on Windows Vista and Windows 7 may be hidden by default.
