The right wb on this picture is quite hard to reach, from my opinion is not cols like mine but is cooler than your samples, the colour for the green is typical from a cloudy day so for sure IS NOT warm.
I did just an import, auto wb and the profiles shown above.
Seems weird your adobe colour compared to mine, the first one.
I double-checked, mine is the same again.

BTW, we are talking about a dedicated mainstream profile for general photography, and the sample is close to the worst nightmare

For that we have Neutral, Flat and Repro...

Mine seems the same as @Jochenb's results:
Here is the RAW file imported to Lightroom without any changes (as shot) using "Adobe Color". (I think it's not a pleasant look)

I wonder why you are getting different results Giuseppe.

I found why the weird Adobe clean one...

exported the one with the Matrix Correction applied

sorry about that!

this is the screen , same as yours.

I've just corrected the post now!!

and this is a fast one corrected using an old method for wb only (lower the exp, lower the temp, find the mid HUE and finish correcting the image).

I've installed the Cobalt Colour profile but it's not appearing in my Profile Browser. Am I looking in the wrong place?

To tell you honestly , I got stuck with this profiles (not using them anymore), purchased 2 profiles for may gfx 50sII and eos r and was about to purchase few more. But I hold back. To match them I tend to tweak the HSL. I thought this profiles will simply my workflow in editing hundreds of photos.

Yes this is another issue with the basic pack. I purchased R5 and A7RIV packs with the promise they would bring both cameras is line calibration wise this was not the case they looked totally different so this would throw out any film emulation that was put on top.

For the system to work 'Cobalt Modular' should make both R5 and A7RIV images match as a base for further film emulation.

From what I can see they have not actually calibrated any cameras they are using some kind of synthetic base profile.

Agreed with the color differences between cameras. I had a D700 and thr profiles didnt match up to my A7 III. A6300 was much closer.

That said, these are the best third party profiles out there, and their colors are very natural. I will continue to purchase them, especially now due to the amazing color of the new Cobalt Color profiles. Great for weddings and events, which I shoot the most.

We are human; but quite good.

So why does your website has this in the FAQ then?

"That’s why we spent so much time developing a unique and complex technology for these specific products in order to perfect emulate that colour signature on other cameras."

It is true , for Leica Monochrom emulation is impossible to improve the emulation quality already almost perfect.
Please be aware, that sentence is specifically written for Leica Monochrom emulations.
On the dedicated page we explain why.

James, I am still waiting to know about your details as our customer.

And you will continue to wait!

P.S nothing is impossible, and going by your track record I doubt they are perfect

Why is your IP constantly changing on your posts? I have 4 different IPs so far from completely different countries.
I am hoping you have a logical explanation to this.

I use a VPN normal practice these days.

Why do you care? I presume Dumb and Dumber are after my IP address

Be very careful how you proceed Fred.

This is obviously going too far. FM is not affiliated with Cobalt so if you have any questions or feedback regarding the profiles, please communicate directly with them.
