One of the top shots on my bucket list (a raptor with a fish in its claws).

I found an interesting Lightroom adjustment tool near the bottom of the Develop list, which I used to ignore. If you go under 'Camera Calibration' and click on Profile, you will note that Adobe Standard is the default setting. But if you change it to Camera Landscape, more often than not it will improve the image. I now do this as one of my very first adjustments, as it saves a lot of time. Here is an example using one of my favourite shots from my recent trip to central British Columbia:

Adobe Standard:


Camera Landscape:


It seems to add just the right amount of 'pop' to the image. Has anyone else been using this?

Not exactly but almost. I have a default preset for new photos imported into LR, and one of the settings in that preset is that it sets camera calibration to "Camera Standard" rather than "Adobe Standard". LR's "Camera Standard" doesn't really look like Canon's "Standard" setting, but still I believe it gives a much better starting point than "Adobe Standard".

By the way, great shot of the bear in its natural environment. The autumn colors themselves would have made a nice shot, and when a bear is added like this it becomes great.

I am wondering if you have the images reversed or maybe it's just me but the top image seems to have more vibrance and contrast in the trees while the bear and the river both look a little sharper to my eye. Maybe it's just my poor vision but I kinda like the top one best?

i was thinking the exact same thing as Joel.

Interesting! Nope, the Adobe Standard one is first. Maybe it's a monitor calibration thing. On mine, the lower image shows brighter orange and a bit more contrast. Anyhow, a chacun son gout, as we say up here! Thanks for the feedback.
