Thanks and great! I can see six Camera Matching Profiles in LR for IPad called Hard Monotome, Positive Film, Soft Monotone, Standard, Vivid and Monotome. Are these the GR3 Profiles? How do they compare to the Cobalt GR profiles?

@@hansheiterkeit Yes they are Ricoh GR III profiles! I compared them with the Cobalt profiles and the Ricoh profiles are more accurate I would say. But the strength of the Cobalt Positive Film Profile for example can be changed and the Ricoh Positive Film Profile can't. So you always get 100% of the look of the Ricoh profiles with the official profiles. Which is fine but it is also nice to play around with the amount slider and use the filters more subtle. I like to use 30% Positive Film with my Nikon RAW files for example. But if you only use a GR than the official profiles are almost exactly the same as the jpeg results :)

ich verstehe das nicht ganz. kann ich jetzt mit meiner griii in LR den positiv film look der gr2 bekommen?

Wishful thinking, but is there any way these can be used with the GRII, like somehow getting lightroom to recognise GRII DNG's as GRIII's?

@@kpwalkr Yes but you need to buy a base profile for the GR II first. Then you can use this GR Pack with the GRII.

Are you going to make a video about that process?

@@MrWiseinheart No, I don't think so. You have to explain a lot about color spaces and the topic is quite specific. I've done a few more complex and technically deeper topics in videos in the past and apparently no one is interested. It's not worth the effort.

Wow, thanks haha

I haven't used Cobalt's film emulations but REALLY like DxO FilmLab 6. I still have gobs of Kodak BW400CN I'm shooting from years ago and other than how film handles highlights (bloom) my M240 files look just like my film scans. The beauty of the Cobalt stuff is that it's a profile IN LR...whereas FilmLab 6 is a stand-alone hook in LR...in DxO PhotoLab5, FilmLab is built-in as a profile.

Thanks Edoardo!

Some photographers have a unique post processing style and it might help having your own „look“ with your images but you can also have your own look by the way you photograph. And when I look back at my own photos from my first years when I started with Photography I can‘t really share them today without feeling embarrassed :) they stand out so much because I was trying so hard to make the photos look better than they needed to be. Simple editing always works best and they age better :)

@@SamuelStreetlife thanks samuel !!!

Presets can't be globally applicable. Presets apply changes with disregard to colour relationships. E.g. common ones just boost blues, oranges, and desaturates greens. Profiles on the other hand are more akin to a LUT that remaps colours and has some of relationship between them. It's the same reason why you could use Fuji profiles on your RAW files and they all look good with zero corrections, but when using presets, you need to fine tune colours.

I think you are going crazy haha. I never saw any camera matching profiles for my GR's... That would be a dream! So pleace check and confirm :D I hope you are right lol.

Jo!!!! I updated Camera RAW and you were right!!! DAAANG. This is the best news ever!

@samuelstreetlife and it also means I'm not going crazy! Double great news hahaha

🤌🏻😁

I think we've all gone through that phase of trying to find a bunch of presets and profiles, and end up with a collection of 100 of them haha But for me, I've always just wanted the positive film look. There's something about it I can't get over. For black and white? eh I don't really care. They all look relatively samey to my eye.

You mean in camera? It doesn’t matter for RAW files because RAW files will have no filter applied to them. If you mean the standard Ricoh GR color profile then no, I don‘t use that. I only use the positive film and monotone profiles.

It was cool to see that you also raise the mid tone luminance in the colour wheel. ✌️ This is why I think it's good to intensify the whites and blacks a small amount, while softening the highlights and shadows (the opposite). It gives that smooth tone curve roll of early digital, that was probably the method to increase DR on the old sensors, while keeping the crushed/clipped look. I will stop blogging here now. 😂

I totally agree that sometimes perfection gets in the way of certain beauty aspect because not everything in this world is perfect and some unperfect items are more unique and beautiful than the perfect ones. That being said it's nice having different cameras for different purposes, when you need perfection you use a certain camera when you need creativity use a different camera or style.

@@MrWiseinheart I think that's why if I want anyway invested in fuji with lenses, I would just get an X100 and use Nikon or something. 1 stylised look and 1 natural look.

No, you just apply the profile you want...you have to buy the base pack so that all the profiles understand how to apply themselves to your camera. Like on my M240, I just go straight to "CCD Monochrom>F7 Linear" and it knows it's an M240 file and applies F7 Linear for that camera. I have it for my Sony A100 as well, and my files come out looking the same!

@@patrickjclarke Ok it is still obscure when you say it knows but that's fine I'll invest into it and see. It'll make sens eventually. Thank you!

You also need to buy a pack for each camera you own

Yes their emulation profiles only work when you install the basic profiles for your camera first. I agree they should put more information on their emulation packs to make it clear.

Hey Sebastian, you can check if you camera is included by looking at their camera list on the "Basic Pack" page :)

I am not super familiar with the DxO Film Pack but I had a quick look. Looks like they are offering presets. And nowhere I can find information on how they were made which probably means they were using the editing softwares to create the presets. Cobalt Image should therefore be much more accurate and they can guarantee even results across different systems.

@@SamuelStreetlife for information, this is an extract from the DXO Filmpack 6 user guide. Hope this is seen as useful. Love your channel even though I’ve not got a GR! (Yet!!) “More than 80 high-fidelity analog film renderings DxO FilmPack preset renderings are created in DxO’s laboratories using an exclusive scientific process of exhaustively profiling each film. This process is based on a series of shots of specially-calibrated targets and as well as real-life subjects taken with the film being profiled. The film is then developed by the world’s most reputable processing laboratories, notably PICTO and Arka Lab in France, and Duggal in the United States, and is then subjected to high-resolution digitization in order to measure the film response and to extract the grain matrices. This process has allowed DxO to perfectly reproduce high-fidelity rendering of the characteristic appearance, colors, and grains of 83 legendary films - color negatives, black & white, slide, and instant snapshots. Fuji and cinema digital renderings DxO FilmPack also offers you such preset renderings as the digital simulations of certain analog films available on Fuji cameras, as well as the possibility of giving a cinematic aspect to your images.”

hi! did you manage to get it working? I have the same issue here...thanks!

is it so that we should also buy the Adobe DNG basic pack, in addition to Ricoh?

@@ASiqueira1973 so yea i talked to them. You have to get the basic pack, for each camera you want the profile for. Kind of annoying. It's all pricey 🤣 i was hoping to get one for iPhone, but i have the 14 pro, and the most current they have is 13 pro. But even with 13pro files i can't get it to work. 🤷🏻‍♂️ but it works for the gr 👍🏻

thanks!! understood...not a problem, but it could be more clear there the pre req...thanks again!

You need to buy the base profile for your camera first and then you can use the other emulation profiles. I know it sucks a but having to buy two things but it only works like that... I thought I mentioned it in the video but probably should have made that clear.

@@SamuelStreetlife ah, thank you - I did hear you say it but being a profile n00b I wasn’t totally sure about the process itself. Appreciate your guidance sir!

@@SamuelStreetlife that's way too much for what this is, in this economy, unfortunately.

The beauty thing of the Cobalt profile is that they re-interpret the built in color science of the sensor. Yes, you are getting their "color science" at that point, but they have tried to keep it as neutral and accurate as possible. I'm amazed at what they've done with their "Monochrom" profiles...re-mapping a bayer sensor to "match" what the M9 does is wizardry.

Moin Eric, du brauchst leider noch ein Base Profil für deine Kamera. Das findest du auch auf deren Webseite. Ich hatte es zwar kurz im Video erwähnt aber haben leider viele überhört. Aber damit klappt es dann👍

@@SamuelStreetlife puh besten Dank! Das hab ich auch verpeilt. 😂 Mach weiter so Dude👌🏾

@@SamuelStreetlife ich habe das Adobe and DNG basic pack - Ricoh GR IIIx noch gekauft und alles in LR und LRC importiert aber es taucht nirgends auf.

@@erickessner4362 Es müssten Anleitungen dabei gewesen sein. Du musst die Profile als ZIP datei importieren. Dann eventuell PS oder LR neustarten und dann sollte es bei den Profilen erscheinen.

Als bought the DNG Basic Pack ( € 51 ) and now it's works
