Notes on the .srw Sunlight profiles
2

Since there's been a huge response to my new .srw Single Illuminant Sunlight profiles, I thought I'd repeat the mini-version of the instructions in the e-mail here:

The new Single Illuminant Sunlight profiles for .srw files are attached. Images in sunlight are where they produce the most accurate results, but can be played with in other light conditions for different effects (but not accuracy of color). New profiles for .srw files shot in different light (tungsten, shade, etc.) will be coming. To use in Adobe LightRoom 5.7, 6, or CC or in Photoshop 5, 6 or CC, these .dcp files must be inserted in: C:/Users/{enter your computer name here}/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles on your PC. Restart Photoshop or LightRoom afterward for them to take effect. (Though the profiles should work on a Mac, I don't support Mac, so I do not know the insertion address). I hope you find these profiles useful for obtaining a clean color cast with a bit of Dynamic Range enhancement (highlights held back a bit) as a starter point when editing your .srw files shot in sunlight.

Note that these profiles will NOT work on .dng files as my old profiles did (good news, since the old ones required converting your .srw files to .dng files first.) I am ending development of the .dng Single Illuminant profiles.
