It’s very convenient to make the raw processor apply some suitable noise reduction at image import – different amounts for different ISO settings. I do much photography indoor without flash or tripod, meaning I often increase ISO to 1600 or even higher. But this standard procedure does not support ISO-dependent settings. The “standard” procedure is indeed reasonably intuitive. Whether you need one or the other turns out to be, well, a pretty crucial question. And there is a “non-standard” procedure, doing things by means of a text editor. There is a “standard” procedure, embedded in the user interface. Standard or non-standard, that’s the questionĪctually, there appears to be not just one way to configure raw defaults, but two. “We do not migrate your existing presets to the new system, but here we explain how to regenerate them from scratch.” Fair enough then: let’s see how. Kost’s blog article tries to fill the gap that has emerged from issue #1. And #1 is just plain bad service of Adobe to their customers.īut no, it’s not my aim to reproach Adobe. But to benefit from it, one first has to figure out the implications of #2. Settings for ISO values for which no defaults are defined will be interpolated.There is no UI support for ISO-dependent settings. ![]() Previously set defaults are not carried over to the new system.This note contains three very relevant remarks: All set to Noise Reduction 0 for Luminosity and 25 for Color. All images sharpened at 40 (the old default was 25, which I had deliberately changed to 0). Somewhere during the processing, I noticed that settings were wrong. After a full-afternoon shoot, I came back with 88 photos. I myself (not patient enough to read the release notes of every installed software) found out the hard way. It’s a simple matter of learning the new way of working and starting over again. Adobe doesn’t do any automatic conversion, and the products themselves do not contain a button to do it for you. Upgrade to the above-mentioned versions, and your old presets simply cease to work. Even worse, whatever effort you had spent fine-tuning your raw profiles turns out, well, useless. 2020) the existing way of configuring custom raw defaults no longer works. Starting Lightroom 9.2 and Camera Raw 12.2 (both from Feb. My motivation to write this is the fact that Adobe decided to change the procedure. What you just started reading here is a full new article about this subject. The article can be found here: and the explanation comes in the bottom section headed “The tutorials”. In fact, this tutorial can serve as guidance to add or override any default settings at raw import. Back when I wrote about what my recommendations are for sharpening during the raw phase – in November 2016 – I included a small tutorial explaining how to disable automatic sharpening in both Lightroom and Camera Raw.
