“As a new customer I like the first products I bought. The tutorials and support section of the website are helpful. My preferred payment method worked perfectly. What I bought is worth the price I paid. Shortly after my first purchase I received a notification about a free update. I could not be happier.”
“Guys, huge thanks for updating the Base Module! The third version really shines with my Sony A7RV - I've already checked the difference and compared output JPGs from the 2.1 and 3.0 with Fujifilm Digital Pack. The skintone now has less green tint areas, it looks much closer to the real Fujifilm files.
When I share my files with other photographers - they don't believe that color profile may improve the image so drastically. Now they pay close attention to your profiles.
I should leave the feedback regarding the "Profile 2.1 remove scripts" that you provided in the latest email. Windows script didn't work for me. I have Lightroom Classic and your ".bat" script looked for the wrong directory. And it didn't take into account Capture One profiles. So I had to manually remove all old profiles in Lightroom and C1. I'm an IT guy, but I suppose most of your clients may struggle with it.
I also don't see "Fujifilm Digital Pack" in my dashboard anymore. Why it is not available for download? I only see my C1 and Lightroom base modules.
Have a nice day and look forward to seeing new updates from you.”
Thank you very much for the feedback. We thought to improve the website and gift this update to our customers. Unfortunately, the site wasn't immediately efficient, not showing the personal purchases panel perfectly synchronised from the start, but now everything is where it should be. We believe we deserve even more than four stars for offering such a substantial series of updates and an automatic removal updater which, unfortunately, doesn't work 100% due to the extreme variances in MacOS. Of course, everything can be resolved manually. Regards
“Cobalt image has been a hit or miss. I have purchased 2 different camera profiles and the one for the Sony A7IV is absolutely fantastic. Literally 5 stars for the profiles they have come up with. However for the Canon R6ii the profiles are practically unusable. Very bad colors and over saturated.”
“Cobalt is a reliable company, and it is striving to create the best emulations on the market. I have currently made myself available to further enhance, if possible, their simulation and spectral sensitivity of Fujifilm Acros II.”
“Installations from ACR or manual copies to the folder in MacOS 15.0 fail to appear in the emulation list of ACR's profiles. This issue prevents the emulation from being used. However, re-installation shows that the software has been installed. Could you assist with resolving this problem? Note that I am using PS 15.13 (Beta) and ACR (16.5).”

“Having to purchase base profiles for various cameras plus this can be somewhat expensive. However, it has been beneficial in achieving more appealing colors in Lightroom, particularly for darker skin tones, which is a notable challenge for Adobe.”
“I have recenlty purchased 6 of Cobalt Images products including; Cobalt Elite Kodak, Fuji Pos, Kodak Kodachrome v3 , Leica M v1 and my favourite Portra Elite Pack v1.
The product seemed a little expensive initially and having to buy base packages for both my Leica M11-P and Leica Sl3 seemed complicated not to mention expensive however I have found they were well worth the expense and can highly recommend these .
I recommend starting with one and if you enjoy the results invest in others.
Having purchased many such presets I can rhighly ecommend these”
“I like your product & I have attached an image using Cobalt Portra of my granddaughter.
I'm pleased with the results so far.
I must add that your web vids don't have any sound & they are so small when trying to follow your workflow. fix this then perhaps there would be far less confusion with potential buyers. Your info is great for techy type people, but I'm not. I know what look I am after however but I am not interested in the technical side of how you achieved it. I just want to buy the product if I feel it will achieve the result I'm after. Watch the video on how to use it correctly & maybe then sit back sometime & read the techy stuff.
Having said all that I do like your product very much.
Jeff”

“Cobalt Image Profiles deliver stunning, true-to-life color with incredible consistency across different cameras. The profiles are easy to use and bring a professional-grade look to every shot, enhancing both detail and dynamic range. Highly recommended for photographers seeking precision and quality in their work!”
“Very pleased with this suite of profiles on the whole. The basic packs give a better starting point than the Adobe Standard profile as they avoid clipping individual colour channels. Don't expect a big difference however. Obviously matching different camera outputs can be made much easier. I also have the analogue emulation for Kodak portra which is very good and editing from a linear profile can give excellent results very difficult to achieve from profiles with curve adjustments built in. The main downside is the cost if you need to get several camera bodies aligned. I think it would be useful if they offered 1, 3 or 5 discounted camera body bundles rather than buying each one separately, and allow you use them as and when a new body was required.”
“From time to time I would get envious of the film simulation modes and raw processor options that the Fuji cameras offered, but not enough to make me use one as my primary camera.
These totally eradicated that envy as soon as I started being able to use these. I was able to entirely color match the in camera output of a colleague's Fuji GFX 50s to my Sony A7RV. We did a few blind tests and neither of us could tell which was which from the color alone. Incredible.”
“Fuji emulations seem good., but I'm not crazy about Cobalt's system or company: you have to buy the basic camera pack first (which I've done). If you change cameras (which I've done) you have to buy a new basic pack for the new camera and the previous one is now wasted. There ought to be some form of trade in. On top of this, as a company Cobalt are rather limp. I've found their web descriptions confusing and dont always work well on android. I've emailed to get clarification and point this out and foudn the'clarification' to be just as confusing, I also had an email about making suggestions to help improve the website and rewards for the best suggestions. I sent a long email (because I'd like to see the company do well). Did I get a reply/acknowledgement/thank you? Of course not”
“Having tried so many similar products, I was naturally skeptical. Alas, Cobalt achieves what they promise! These profiles have quickly become a permanent fixture in my workflow! So ecstatic to have finally found these profiles and not have to search any further! Incredible! Thank you!”
“Thank you, Cobalt. Your profiles help me edit my pictures and how I want them to look. The color fidelity helps me concentrate on the contrast. I can't wait to see what you have next.”
