These are sidecars, not Develop profiles. Rename a copy to match your photo (kitchen.jpg + kitchen.xmp). Lightroom Classic reads it on import or via Metadata → Read Metadata from Files. Camera Raw does the same when the names match. Do not drop them into the Profile browser and expect a new look to appear.
Window daylight
Lower Temperature toward blue, modest contrast, highlights held so the window does not cook out. Test frame: a historic room lit by a bull’s-eye window.
Tungsten mix
Higher Temperature, magenta Tint, shadows lifted. Same interior, treated as mixed lamp-plus-window instead of cool daylight.
High-ISO cleanup
Luminance smoothing via documented crs: tags, blacks and shadows up, a little contrast. Test frame: a lamp in a dark room.
How to apply
- Unzip. Pick one
.xmp. - Copy it beside your photo and give it the same base name.
- Open in Camera Raw, or import / read metadata in Lightroom Classic.
- Copy those Develop settings onto other frames if the first one reads cleanly.
A sidecar on a baked JPEG will shift white balance and tone. A RAW will take the same sliders further. Slider tables and SHA-256 hashes are in the README inside the zip.
