LAPhotoPro.com Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Matching original 5D with 5D Mark II What are you doing to match your original 5D with the 5D Mark II in Lightroom? I'm working with the RAW files from both cameras in Lightroom and I'm noticing the Mark II is substantially more saturated. Jul 19, 2009 at 08:25 AM

andrewfee Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · Matching original 5D with 5D Mark II It's a bit of expense, but I'd recommend buying a GretagMacbeth ColorChecker and creating custom camera profiles. It should give you more accurate colour from both cameras (more pleasing as well in my opinion) and also help them be a better match. That said, if you're completely happy with the 5D's colour and want the 5D II to match that, I'm not sure how you would accomplish it. Here's an image I shot that shows how much of an improvement to colour a custom profile makes. First is the Adobe Standard profile, then the Camera Standard profile, and finally the custom one. (which matches what I saw with my eyes) Jul 20, 2009 at 07:41 PM

andrewfee Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Matching original 5D with 5D Mark II Here are what faithful and neutral looked like, with the custom profile third again for comparison: Just a quick snapshot I took the other week (first tomatoes off our plants this year) but again, the custom profile has much more accurate and pleasing colour. No matter which of the included presets I chose, I would have had to start using the HSL controls to get good looking colour, and yet with the custom profile, I didn't have to change a thing.
