Hi folks,

I'm a big fan of the K-7's slide film custom image setting. However, since I shoot in DNG only, I had to develop a preset to emulate the look in Lightroom. I wanted to share it with everyone.

Keep in mind I am red-green colorblind, so please use this thread to discuss any improvements or post your own improvements.

Enjoy!

Requirements: this preset utilizes the "Embedded" camera calibration profile, which as far as I know means you MUST either shoot in DNG mode with your K-7, or else convert your PEF to DNG in Pentax's photo utility before importing into Lightroom.

What this does: it only changes the tone curve as well as clarity, vibrance, and saturation. I calibrated it against multiple real-world images to the best of my eyes and color-calibrated monitor.

Would you like me to move this to the article section? I think that would be more fitting, given that you also elaborate a bit on what you're done here.

Sounds good! I'll edit to explain a bit more what the preset does.
