Why do some Profiles only
work with raws?
Raws contain greater colour data and dynamic
range than JPEGs, which is why some Profiles,
including the Adobe and Camera matching
sets, can only be applied to raws. These profiles
are designed to interpret the raw data for
optimum image quality. By contrast, the range
of creative profiles such as the Modern and
Artistic sets act more like one-click effects,
and can be applied to raws, JPEGs and TIFFs.

Adobe Portrait Profile
This profile is all about improving skin
tones, especially in studio portraits. It renders
them naturally, resulting in a better starting
point for further editing, with greater
headroom for contrast and colour boosts.
Many portrait photographers will apply this
profile by default to all the portraits they
import into Lightroom.7
Adobe Landscape Profile
This is a hugely useful profile found
within the Adobe Raw set. Adobe Landscape
adds saturation to all the colours, particularly
enhancing the blues and greens. It also pulls
slight detail out of the shadows/highlights. It’s
designed to make skies look punchier, reveal
textured details and lift foliage.
