Earlier this month, Adobe released an update that massively revamped its Camera Profiles, renaming the feature Profiles. In addition to 6 new Adobe Raw profiles, there are also creative profiles. And instead of downloading and/or buying third-party creative profiles, you can make your own.
With the release of Lightroom 7.3, the entire ecosystem (Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic, the Lightroom Mobile Apps) receives access to the updated "Camera Profiles" (now just called "Profiles"). If you weren't using profiles before, you probably should have been.
Adobe today announced a "massive update" to its Camera Profiles feature. It's now simply known as Profiles, and the way they're accessed has been redesigned.
The Camera Calibration Panel in Lightroom is often left untouched, owing to its position in the panel stack and uncertainty over its functions. This 15-minute video from Anthony Morganti explains the panel’s features in detail.

Photographer and filmmaker Matt Mangham has launched "Analog: Stories of Film Photography," a series of short videos that explore the current state of film photography. "Ever since getting into film photography, I've been so passionate about learning from others using film in one way or another," he writes. "It's a dying medium and yet in a lot of ways a thriving one."
The first video (above) is a profile of surf photographer Brooks Sterling, who talks about how he uses film cameras (including the 35mm Nikonos underwater camera) for his images.
Who are the people behind Instagram's most-followed handles? Soon-to-be-shuttered iPad newspaper The Daily wants to know, and has a video series titled "#No Filter: Behind the Lens with Instagram's Biggest Stars."
