Re: Struggling with Sony skin tones, want that Canon look, go here -->
I am that someone that created the profiles/presets and I'm here as well. You're re-uploading everything and not even mentioning me, lol. I talked about this in this forum but people were not interested, so I only maintained the full thread in dpreview.
That said, there are multiple versions in 2 different variants of the presets. The old ones were based in my a7r2 and then ported to a lot of Sony full frame cameras. And then the new variants are based in my a73 and only available for a73 and a7r3. From this last (the best), there are 4 presets and the good ones are number 1 and 4. The 2 is too red and the 3 is too green.
Based on a7r2, pre-last version (for Many cameras) https://mega.nz/#F!VEZUyIAR!d5KiTbk_4O7yX2MWdmE1yA
Based on a7r2, last version (many cameras) https://mega.nz/#F!pExjQCjJ!x5_eKI11V_J3AmB0yPKq8g
Based on a73, latest and greatest, only a73/a7r3 https://mega.nz/#F!MFZSCQxL!bOlpdo44BJJTBqCAM1-wKQ

I had tried most of the various fixes on this forum and others, with limited success (playing with the red and greens under "calibration" in Lightroom...but could never get good skin tones out of the A7III.
I understand the A7III and other Sony cameras were praised for their color accuracy, but accuracy doesn't necessarily mean pleasing...especially skin tones. Yes I shoot RAW and yes I've been doing this for a long, long time.
Someone was able to use a tool to "deconstruct" the Canon EOS R "colors" and make a profile to apply to your Sony files. Simply follow the link, download the profile, then select the color profile in Lightroom.
**** you can use this for files you already processed is lightroom but it throws the white balance way off...will have to correct.
I'm very, very happy with the results.
Here is the link to the .dcp file...which is zipped up.
