First time with a Sony setup (A7rv). For landscape/seascape etc what is your preferred color profile you start with when editing in Lightroom?

Cobalt Neutral.

If you only have the default profiles, I'd try Camera Standard or Adobe Standard.

Another vote for Cobalt -- often very little different from Adobe Camera Standard but sometimes quite helpful in providing a better starting point. I use it as the default.

I use LR Classic's "Adobe Color", adding my personal adjustments and enhancements to color, contrast, and exposure.

That’s what I am using/doing, too and I am perfectly fine with that setting.

Is this a free profile? How can we get it?

Thanks

I too am a fan of the Cobalt profiles. I use Cobalt Standard as my my primary starting point however Adobe Color is the RAW built in profile and it is not bad. I really like the new Cobalt Fuji 4.0 pack when I want a specific look.

For landscape and seascape shots, I use Adobe Landscape about 90% of the time, and Adobe Color the other 10% of the time.

With older Sony cameras, I used Camera Landscape the majority of the time, but unfortunately Sony did away with this option with their latest cameras, and I don't like any of the new Sony colour profiles.

I switch between starting out with Adobe Color and Camera Matching usually Camera NT. Just depends on what I see and what I want to do with the photo.

It is one of the choices included in LR/LR Classic.

I also have my default profile set to 'Adobe Color'. Sometimes, content dependent, I'll invoke 'Adobe Vivid'.

All these settings, useful as they may be, are arbitrary. You pick what looks "right" to you. Usually you do not have the original scene handy to compare the colors unless you're working in the studio.

I have opted for "accuracy" by using the Color Checker Passport and generating a profile for my specific camera and somewhat generic lighting conditions. It's not expensive, allows a white balance setting and takes very little time. I can then change anything I like and have a base reference. I'm not saying it's superior, just that it's a common baseline. YMMV

Appreciate the replies. I was finding that my images had a not great blue cast to them. Not due to white balance. Just wasn’t liking the blues.

I have in-camera (a1/a7r5) set to camera standard and CRAW the same when it first opens an image. Call it a starting point.

"Is this a free profile? How can we get it?"

If you mean the Cobalt profiles, you do have to pay for them (not much though). They have quite a range of interesting profiles as well as base 'standard' per camera.

None of the above if you want processing flexibility. Start with a linear profile. You can easily make one for your camera or download one for free. This will give you a very flat starting point (as you’re not getting a tone curve cooked in) and flexibility in post.

A variation on the above is to use Camera Neutral in ACR or Lightroom. It's a less contrasty, less saturated starting point, and allows more latitude for building a final look in post.

I switched to this after returning from Pais with interior shots of the Musee d'Orsay, only to find that neither Camera Standard nor Adobe Color made it simple to achieve colors that were true to actual.

Posting to follow this thread.

I tend to use Adobe Color for most situations, occasionally using Adobe Portrait or Standard for people photos.

A lot of my work is nightscapes, and in those cases I have found that Adobe Vivid gives me a nice little "pop" without being over-the-top.

But I'm interested in other possibilities. Cobalt intrigued me when it gained a lot of traction here last year, but it's still just a little too pricey for me.
