Using Lightroom 4.0

[lawscreen]

Hasselblad sent me a "Bulletin" several weeks ago explaining how to create a Lightroom 3.5 profile which would enable Lightroom to obtain a more Phocus "like" gradation. The changes suggested were as follows: Blacks and brightness should be respectively +2-3 and +30-35 respectively. Exposure should be + 1/3rd an F stop. I did this in Lightroom 3.5 and it all worked quite well. My problem is in using Lightroom 4.0. The Hasselblad lenses are all recognized but 4.0 has no exposure adjustment slider and the use of Adobe Standard 2012 clearly is a bit different then version 3.5. Does anyone know the correct settings for Lightroom 4.0 to mimic the initial results of Phocus? Since Hasselblad is now shipping their H4D cameras with Lightroom 4.0 I would expect that someone might have already solved this problem.

Many thanks in advance, Arthur

Hi Arthur, perhaps you can try creating a preset instead?

Good tip, btw

Thanks Ghoonk, I've already created a profile but I must admit that I am not that great at perceiving subtle coloration differences and was hoping that a "seasoned" Hasselblad user might have created a much better profile which I could then use. I'll post the profile I created shortly. Thanks again, Arthur

The Lightroom 4.0 profile I've created to mimic Phocus is as follows:
Temp = 5500
Exposure = +35
Blacks = +4
Clarity = +42
Enable Profile Correction, using Hasselblad Lens Profile
Process = 2012, Adobe Standard

Again, any alterations would be most helpful, Arthur
