  • A good profile is the foundation on which you build your edits.

    Selecting a profile is the first step of your edit, and it adjusts your image’s overall color and tone. Behind the scenes, it uses complex color science to create a unique look, way beyond what is achievable in Lightroom alone.

    A good profile works with all kinds photos and cameras: night, day, sunsets, studio, and everything in between.

    Presets are much simpler. They are simply someone’s Lightroom edits. They are easier to make by adjusting sliders and saving those settings. Presets rarely work well with different pictures types. A landscape preset will ruin a portrait and vice versa.

    In short, profiles set the foundation for color aesthetics, while presets apply edits on top. Profiles are more complex and important for professional editing, while presets are simpler and more common.

  • Nobel profiles are compatible with Lightroom — all of them. Desktop and mobile, classic and… non-classic? It also works with ‍Adobe Camera Raw on Photoshop.

  • Nobel profiles are developed by color nerd, software developer and photographer Luke Nobel. He developed from the ground up software tools to create these profiles.

    Spectral Simulator: this piece of software is the main driver behind Nobel Negatives v2.0. It fully simulates the analog process of color transformation, from original scene, to negative, to positive.

    Infinity Color: this is used for certain fine-tuning of the profiles after their creation. If we need to slightly rotate the orange hues, at a given luminosity level, without affecting saturated colors - infinity can do that.
