Whats the best way to get started with the new profiles?
First, visit this page for some basic instructions on getting started with the new profiles. We recommend that you first try the new Adobe Standard profile for your camera. If you have a Canon or Nikon DSLR, you can also try the additional CM profiles. Try the new profile(s) with a large number of images to judge the results. Compared to earlier profiles, you should notice improved colors, particularly in warm tones (reds, oranges, and yellows). If you are unhappy with the default profiles, you can adjust them using the new DNG Profile Editor (PE). These tutorials should help you get started. If you are accustomed to running calibration scripts with earlier versions of CR, try using PE’s Chart Wizard feature.
