Adjustment preset for Panasonic DMC-LF1

[photoken]

For those who own the excellent (and relatively new) Panasonic DMC-LF1, here is an adjustment preset that I've devised:

LF1 Basic.zip

The main things I've done are to
1. add Chromatic Aberration correction,
2. add an Unsharp Mask,
3. add a Curves adjustment (to remove the haze, especially in the darks and shadows).
Although this preset is no replacement for RawTherapee, the results are quite good for non-critical purposes, and are much better than the results obtained in PaintShopPro (which now includes support specifically for the LF-1 in their little RAW Editor).

Since this forum's file size limitations prevent showing the full differences between PL's default settings and this preset, if you don't have an LF-1, you can use the sample images from this site:

(Scroll down to the bottom of the page to get to the downloads for the Sample RAW .RW2 Images.)

I used the sample street scene for my tests. Of course, your image preferences will differ from mine; but this is offered as a starting point for your personal interpretation.

Comments welcome. Enjoy!

By the way, to apply the adjustment preset, activate this layer:

Open the layer's "Adjustment Layer" panel, and use the area at the top to merge and select the preset:

As usual , 10 minutes after I posted the original preset, I devised another enhancement for it. This revised preset includes an additional "Sharpen" adjustment to get the image even closer to razor sharpness....

Well, I've had a couple of weeks to fine-tune the LF1 preset. I added as much sharpening as I dare, boosted the yellow by a smidgeon, finessed the gamma value, and added a mere whiff of Noise Reduction:
