How to apply a specific preset on import for a specific camera

[nputtick (Nigel)]

Hi - I have an EOS R8 in addition to other Canons (R5, R7), shooting CRAW. I’m using PL7 (on Windows 10 PC) to process, and use the “DXO Standard” preset . I find the R8 images on import are somewhat less saturated, less contrasty, and slightly cooler than I am used to with the other bodies.

I’ve found that in the colour palette under “Color/B&W rendering”, if I select “camera body” instead of “generic rendering” and pick one of the Canon renderings (either the 1DXmk2 etc or 250D etc), and add a little contrast and vibrance, plus a slight added warmth, this corrects the image tonality to my liking. So I created and saved a preset named R8.

Is there any way to make PL7 apply my R8 preset to only R8 images, rather than DXO standard, while leaving the standard preset for the other bodies? Or do I have to open a folder of my R8 images, select them all, and apply that preset?

No.

Essentially, yes.

Unfortunately it was already asked in the past but did not happen.
