The new adaptive color profile of Adobe uses AI to analyze an image, adjusting the opposite of color, tone and raw images. Unlike the preset, the adaptive color profile “fits all the shape.” How will it work with night photography images, which is very difficult to interpret for AI?
What is the adaptive color profile of Adobe?
The color profile settings of Adobe are that defines how the colors are explained in your images. This is like a “style” for your raw files, almost like “pre-processing” for your raw files. This affects the initial form and feel before making any manual adjustment.
While the adaptive color profile does this, it does a little more. AI-trained model in Adobe is analyzing each photo. It is better then, well, better, tone, color, shade, and more in an attempt to see them for each individual photo. As Adobe says: “The effect is such as AI had replaced exposure, shadow, highlights, color mixers, curve and other controls for you, although real controls remain in their original neutral position.”
And this is one of the significant differences between auto and adaptive color profiles: none of the slider control has been transferred.
Talking about auto function, if you try to use adaptive color profiles and auto functions together, the above dialog box appears, which teases your virtual finger to separate you.
Of course, I had to do this anyway, because who does not like to do what we have not been told? But as you can guess, it did not actually provide the best results.
How does it work in Literoom classic
The adaptive color profile only works with raw files from any camera supported by the camera raw or literoom. It currently does not work with jpgs, tiffs, or other non-r-r-r-r-row image file formats. And yes, it used to work with DNG files, when I denied a file on Literoom classic.
Once you select an adaptive color profile, Literroom provides a zodiac slider that misses up to 100. This adjustment allows you to choose how much the profile you want to apply. You can increase it up to 200 or make it down to zero.
Boundaries with night photography
Typically, the AI ​​model is trained on sunshine landscapes, pictures, architecture and various man -made subjects. They do not seem trained on night photography subjects. In fact, they are often trained to lift the shadow. And of course, a night photo may look like a misleading jumble of shadow for AI.
I tried the adaptive color profile with both a milky way photo and one night photo during a full moon with light painting. For each of these photos, I also compared it to auto function. I also tried it on a badly undeclared night picture. Let’s take a look at how it did with each type of picture.
Adaptive color profile vs. auto: Milky Way Comparison
I used a single exposure photo of Milky Way and comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-tlas) Mobius archThe loan pine is located in Owens Valley near California.
Raw vs adaptive color profile at 100
It was initially disappointing, as it looks very bright and vice versa.
Raw vs auto
The auto function varying that it explains what the photo needs by transferring the adjustment sliders. In this way, it varies from a adaptive color profile, which shows the name, a color profile, which is similar to the adobe color (default) or adobe standard. The auto function is also bright, holds less details, and lower the contrast than the adaptive color profile, which is usually how it processes the Milky Way photo. The auto function extended the exposure slider to +2.66.
0 vs Auto 100 to 37 with exposure slider on adaptive color profile with slider
Although it is clearly not close to the comparison of apple-to-apple, it shows that either a milkyway is a properly pre-initial point to process photos, usually requiring a slightly more post-processing TLC than many other types of photography.
Either method – auto method or adaptive color profile – connects to a decent initial point. Regardless, I expected that the adaptive color profile could be better with light painting with a night image that was built near a full moon.
Adaptive color profile vs. auto: under a full moon comparison
To test the color profile, I used a photo Gofs, CaThe historic route in California is located on 66.
Raw vs adaptive color profile at 100
It looked decent, if a little bright, but certainly much better how it explains the Milky Way and the comate photo.
Raw vs auto function
The auto function is much darker than the adaptive color profile. Perhaps a little bit dark.
Adaptive color profile vs. adaptive color profile -14 with low highlights
For a quick photo with about ten seconds processing, the result looks good. I left the shrine on the 100 default for each photo. As was estimated, the adaptive color profile seemed to be better explained than a dark milky night on a bright moonlight night. -Such as the AI ​​model is more sophisticated, a dark milky they are likely to improve its interpretation of the image.
Bonus Round: How does it handle night photos?
I took a picture of an old Navy trainer airplane Nelson Ghost Town in NevadaHowever, I unknowingly converted the aperture to F/8. Ooops! As a result, the photo was very undeclared. Given the clear tendency of the adaptive color profile to make my night photos very bright, how will it process this very dark photo?
Raw vs adaptive color profile at 100
The adaptive color profile illuminated the photo for a pleasing amount. Not only this, it addressed the Rang Cast. And it kept the shady mountains dark properly. It is a pleasant rendering that provides a strong starting location to eliminate post-processing.
Does the AI-in-mango adaptive color profile replace the preset or auto function for night photography?
While the adaptive color profile of Adobe recalls the mark slightly when interpreting the dark milky they explain the photos, it still offers a strong starting point to start your post-processing. The AI ​​model performed surprisingly well with an unlocked night photo below the full moon, also addressed to the Rang Cast. It beautifully lifted the shadow. And it did almost immediately.
The preset a “one size fits all fits” answers that you can use when importing photos. Looking at the above, I am starting using a adaptive color profile for my photos before trying one of my presets. Although my presets can sometimes get closer closely, they are not individually compatible with photographs.
Auto settings can sometimes give decent results with night photos, if it is usually very bright. However, this adjustment moves to sliders. I will initially take the image slightly closer with one of the color profiles, then address any additional editing with the adjustment sliders.
As other color profiles, so far, the adaptive color profile finds me close to any of its default, adobe color, or other color profiles.
We all still need to manually make our images tweet, especially with the Milky Way Photo. However, the adaptive color profile often takes us closer, and Literoom classic has a welcome feature. I think I will use it in place of auto setting or preset, especially when it grows in accuracy.
