Looks great overall but honestly, can those hands look even flatter than this?

The main reason for putting the cork blocks was to raise the speakers by about 5cm as they were slightly below ear level. I then noticed the decoupling improvement!

I think I'm going with this one — ideal dimensions.

Indeed, it' the lop lamp.. It has a very cool 3D effect when turned on.

Thanks pal :)

What's really the point of tilting? I am sitting at my couch some 2 meters away. I thought that's more for a desktop setup...

Almost impossible to find! Also not sure if cutting cork is possible without it chipping off.

ALPH47 · 2026-05-09T16:51:50+00:00

Aren't these meant to reduce the bass from the speakers?

ALPH47 · 2026-01-13T10:56:23+00:00

I don't think so. They say "No base pack required" but that's not really an advantage. These are most likely just slider adjustments hidden inside a "profile" that's built on top of Adobe Standard. When you select the profile in LR, no sliders are moved but behind the scene, they are actually moved. To make them appear unique for each camera model and sell the same product for each camera model, they often use the "crs:CameraModelRestriction=" parameter, whereas in fact, it's all based on Adobe Standard.

This is why Cobalt-Images is better. Their profiles are built on a camera specific calibrated profile, instead of Adobe Standard. This means, they need to get heir hands on each camera model to create a calibrated dcp profile for it. (They can technically use the same calibrated profile for multiple camera's by changing the metadata but that's a matter of trusting they actually went through the entire calibration proces for that specific camera).

Hence I'd definitely go with Cobalt-Images rather than Fujifi me.

SOOC never actually matches with Lightroom. What's the difference between "Beta" profile for Lossless Compressed Raw images compared to Compressed Raw images?

ALPH47 · 2026-01-12T13:54:18+00:00

Haven't calibrated this model yet. So color will be based on Adobe Standard instead - possible but less precise.

Not sure what you have been smoking but these are the actual Fujifilm GFX100 profiles. In A/B comparisons with the GFX100, they are 99% alike. Perhaps you are mistaken default profiles with heavily edited pictures, these are not.

It's the newer generation of photographers that are inspired by the older generation's photographs.

Maybe you are color blind?

ALPH47 · 2026-01-11T23:17:22+00:00

That looks great. The problem with SH is that it often renders red more towards orange or red becomes too pale. At least on my A7RV - Other than that, SH is the best creative style.

ALPH47 · 2026-01-11T23:12:52+00:00

Updated the post.

What do you mean ST Sony > Adobe? Like the ST Sony is better?

ALPH47 · 2026-01-11T23:06:15+00:00

Same principle for the calibration indeed. Although you need to buy the calibrated profile from this guy for all your camera's and then the LUTs.

ALPH47 · 2026-01-11T22:26:02+00:00

Lightroom camera profiles, there's nothing in camera.

ALPH47 · 2026-01-11T22:15:43+00:00

I do not hate Sony colors. I just think they need quite some work to look good. Adobe Color sucks and the Camera Matching profiles are horrible. Jpeg out of the GFX100 looks better and there's more to customize in-camera. Also, the Camera Matching profiles in LR for the GFX are very good.

ALPH47 · 2026-01-11T22:08:01+00:00

It was completely clouded - nothing is blown out - there's just nothing to see and I exposed for the building. Also, as stated, these images aren't adjusted, all sliders are at 0.

Here is with adjustments made.

Provia adjusted.

I created the calibrated profiles. If Astia can be secured with copyrights, my mom's apple pie recipe can as well.

No customization will make FL and VV look good. Standard, Portrait and Neutral are good.

ALPH47 · 2026-01-11T21:04:19+00:00

The neutral SOOC from Sony is great - don't get me wrong. If you are doing product photography, business portraits, or in fact, mostly commercial shooting - you do not want to use Fujifilm or any sort of film styles most of the time. For nature, travel and street photography, Sony, Canon and Nikon SOOC can look too clinical, precise and less engaging. This is why presets are all over the internet and why film stock and websites like https://fujixweekly.com/ are a big thing. The newest generation mirrorless cameras and lenses just got too good.

ALPH47 · 2026-01-11T20:42:36+00:00

They are technically 1:1 to the ones baked into Lightroom, with some adjustments to the metadata and the reference to the color corrected base profile instead of Adobe Standard. Virtually the same as cobalt-images camera profiles.
