These profiles are of very low quality and you are not getting what the manufacturer promises. Some may like them, I do not exclude. But you won't get what you paid for. You will not get the color of the conditional M9 when shooting on Nikon, for example, as the manufacturer promises. There are gross errors in these profiles, and the manufacturer must admit and redo his work if he asks for money for it. Or do not promise what is not in reality.
Long before buying cobalt-image profiles, I made myself, as best I could, a profile that emulates s5pro using dcamprof_look, LumariverPD, 3DLUTCreator and ColorChecker Digital SG. And my profile is MUCH more accurate than what I paid money for.
But unlike cobalt-image, I don't sell it, because I understand that my profile is not perfect, and I don't want to deceive people.
My profile(xt4) vs real s5pro:
And here's how it shows up in lightroom - just exposure and white balance.
If I could get at least such accuracy, I would be grateful. Since I myself do not have the opportunity to make a profile for the rest of the cameras that interest me. And such accuracy would suit me completely. But this did not happen, and I paid them money in vain.

I repeat once again- there was no blackmail on my part. And in the event of a court, you will have to answer for dishonest business conduct and deception of customers!

Please continue this discussion via email with the software developer. Thank you!

There are 37 pages of customers on this thread who use these and consider them high quality. Given your abject lack of experience in this forum and perhaps in photography more generally, I assume the issue you are having is user error.

I also expressed my issues with the profiles in this thread.
The amount of examples I had to show to be taken seriously...
It's just too easy to always blame the user.
In the end they did made some changes based on the feedback, so a good thing.
I still feel that the emulations can be completely off, but I stopped caring.
I now use the profiles as a creative starting point, without looking at which camera they try to emulate. I then manually adjust the color channels that are off.

No, it's not my fault, unfortunately.
Given my over a decade of experience as a photographer and profiling experience (which I showcased here earlier), I am well versed in all of this to make primitive mistakes.

You have 17 total posts on this entire forum, all complaining about these profiles. Hard to view you as anything other than a troll with a specific agenda. Perhaps you can find outlets to here that are more positive or productive.

Yes, but your critiques were tactful and specific.
Can I use the Digital Emulations (Fuji) only with raw files in Capture One?
I went to Paris and shot a lot of pictures there. However, I shot in JPEG and not in RAW.
Can I still apply your profiles to the JPEG file with the same outcome? Or is this not possible or nothing you would recommend.
Is the Ricoh GR IIIx supported?
If it works, I would pick the GFX100s instead of the X-Pro2, since it has more profiles. Or would you suggest the X-Pro2 Version for a certain reason.
Ah, one last question: I one two cameras and one wants to use the same profiles. Is there a discount on the second (same) package for the second camera?
Our profiles work only on raw files from supported models (list on our website).
I am sure you will find any other info in our website; we also improved the page "our colours" with many samples and the page "Faq" with different answer to most common questions.
Any hope of having base profiles for Phase One (IQ4-150 in particular) added for Lightroom? I know it's sacrilegious to use anything but C1 Pro for IQ files, which is what I generally use, but sometimes I need to match them to other cameras, and I generally use Lightroom as my asset manager for everything.
Thanks, and great product so far. Loving the Kodachrome pack and CCD Fever, and I like the colours from the base profile. Repro is also awesome as a starting point for challenging files that need a lot of editing.

Hi, I understand why you would need a profile for your IQ bodies.
Could you please send to us, on the mail of our website a raw sample of the camera you would like? We could, perhaps, be able to do it; not 100% sure, but possible.

Awesome, thanks! I just sent over an example RAW file. It is nothing special with unique colours or anything; just a lens test from last week.

I just stumbled on a youtube video talking about your product. I currently shoot with a Canon R6. What do I need to do to emulate the look and feel of Fujifilm and Leica? Which packs do I need to purchase?

We worked to be able to offer a "nice to see" profile and a perfect starting point for skin tones , lighter and darker as well. This is still based on our extended gamut profiles.

I like the saturated reds and skin tones from the new "Colours".
