Adapting G7 Lightroom camera profiles to GM5
4

I like the camera profiles for GX8 and G7 that Adobe released in Lightroom's last stand alone version 6.14.

I usually shoot RAW+JPEG and only process the RAW when I am not pleased enough by the OOC JPEG.

I then use Lightroom camera profiles to get a starting point close to the OOC JPEG rendering.

But I have struggled to find Lightroom camera profiles for my GM5 that could fit this workflow.

Until today, when I found the way to adapt the G7 Lightroom camera profiles to GM5, using Adobe DNG converter and Adobe DNG profile editor, two freewares you can download on Adobe.com official website.

The following tutorial provided by Adobe explains how to do:

I used Adobe's G7 camera profiles because I liked their rendering and I guessed G7 16MP sensor could be close enough to GM5 16MP sensor.

It works!
