The preset will automatically change the respective sliders that I saved when I made the preset. …and now after the develop preset is applied. Have a look at the adjustment sliders before… This image has had some basic processing and now I’m going to apply one of my presets. This means that a profile can be added at any time during your processing workflow without affecting the edits you might have already made. Applying ProfilesĪ creative profile works differently from a preset in that it does not rely on the adjustment sliders to make changes. While develop presets are a powerful tool for any workflow, you can still run into trouble when you begin to use multiple develop presets while editing the same image. This means that develop presets override the current setting of each adjustment slider and set each slider according to the saved value on the preset. Develop presets are simply saved blueprints of adjustment slider settings. The difference comes down to how the nature of the profiles and how they apply their edits. But this is where the similarity between profiles and presets end. What I mean by this is that a profile is similar to a develop preset in that it instantly performs edits for you with simply a click of the mouse. These profiles can be applied just like develop presets…only not. Making use of the new profiles feature in your editing is extremely easy. The great thing about the creative profiles is that they allow you to use custom made LUTs in your editing.
I won’t go too far into explaining LUTs in this article but just know that they are used extensively to color grade images. Furthermore, Lightroom’s new profile feature harnesses the user-friendliness of develop presets and integrates that creative simplicity with the power and flexibility of what’s called a color LUT (look up table). Think of the profiles as ways to “cook” your RAW files while not needing to sacrifice any editing power.
The new creative profiles in Lightroom Classic work in essentially the same way. When you shoot RAW, those profiles are simply bypassed in favor of more control in your editing later. All those settings in your camera for things like Vivid, Standard, Landscape or Portrait are all considered profiles.Īll of those modes found in your camera are just a way that your camera’s tiny internal computer can process your images. If you can’t tell…I’m really excited about this! What are Creative Profiles?īefore we go too far it’s important to note that you’ve probably used profiles before either in Lightroom or right inside your camera. But exactly what are these new “profiles” and how can you use them in your everyday image processing? Well, sit back and relax because I’m about to tell you all about the brand new creative profile section in Lightroom Classic.
