I've called mine "COLOUR CARD" to make it easy to spot in the list. In the Preset menu, click Create Preset and give it a name. You can then later access this in Profiles rather than Presets.
Just Alt-Click 'Create Preset' instead, and you'll get the Profile Menu. You can create a profile rather than a preset, if you prefer. You can see at the top that I’ve managed to match the numbers (more or less, forgive me the missing 1 in the middle grey) to the JPEG values, so I can now export these settings as a preset. Create Your Preset Once the numbers match (or are close), it's time to make a preset It’s all a bit of a nudging numbers game, but you’ll get there or close enough.

In Colour Grading, you obviously can’t use the colour wheels as you’ll get a tint over your image, but you can use the Luminance sliders on each wheel, plus the universal Blending and Balance ones, to adjust values. Adjust your sliders to get the values as close as possible to the ones you noted down from the JPEG Start in Basic with things like the highlights and shadows. Now we can start to nudge the sliders of options available to us to get those values as close as possible to the ones you noted down. Once you’ve done that, sample the same places you did on your JPEG, and you’ll see the values appear above. Sample the same values you did with the JPEG To do this, you’ll need to select Toggle Sampler Overlay in the bottom right. Flip the image to black and white and use the sampler to get your tonal values Now the idea is to try to match the tonal values to those you made a note of.
You can flip this to B&W in the top right. Now open the RAW version of your colour card image in Adobe Camera Raw. Make a note of your values and close your JPEG. Here I’ve got 39 for black, 103 for grey, and 206 for white. Open your colour card image and use the Colour Dropper tool to grab the values for the black, (mid) grey, and white. Open Your Colour Card (JPEG) Image in Photoshop (or another photo editing suite) Use the colour dropper tool to note your black, mid-grey, and white values I have the RAW version too, which will have the same exposure settings but of course won’t have the monochrome profile attached.
I took this photograph just after the colour card one, so the lighting hasn’t changed at all. Here it is with the profile applied as a JPEG right out of the camera: The photo I'll be working on / Marie Gardiner Behind the colour card is the scene I’ll be working on. This is the side of the colour card with the black, grey(s), and white on it. The colour card with the black, grey(s) and white side facing me This will give you a JPEG version that has the monochrome profile plus a RAW version that’ll be in colour.

With the camera set to the monochrome or black and white profile and also to take RAW + JPEG, take a properly exposed (using manual settings, if you can) photograph of the colour card. As we looked at the Monochrome camera profile in the last part of the tutorial, that’s the look we’ll be running through recreating here. I’m using the SpyderCHECKR 24, but you can make your own and it’ll work just as well. The idea here is that you have a profile or preset that you can quickly use and then fine-tune, and it matches the one in camera. In this part of the tutorial, we’ll replicate the in-camera profile in Adobe Camera Raw before exporting it as a preset.

Set your camera to shoot RAW + JPEGĪt this stage, you’ll have chosen an in-camera profile and set your camera to shoot RAW + JPEG, and you’re ready for part 2! Part 2: How to Turn Profiles Into a Custom Preset Using Adobe Camera Raw and a Colour Card Part 1 also goes into how to find your camera’s option to shoot RAW plus JPEG, which you’ll need to be able to do too. In my Nikon D800, for example, it’s in Shooting Menu and then Set Picture Control. You’ll find profile options in your camera’s shooting menu. If you’d like to know more about this step, you should read part 1 of the tutorial, How to Use Camera Presets for Instant Picture Styles and Custom Colour. Before You Start Part 1: Turning on Profiles in Camera In this tutorial you'll learn how to use a colour card to recreate the look of an in-camera profile in Adobe Camera Raw, which you can then use as a custom preset.
