How to Use Fujifilm Camera Profiles in Lightroom: Pro Tips & Tricks
In this video, I explain the built-in Fujifilm Profiles in Adobe Lightroom. I explain how they differ from presets, how to use them, and a few tips and tricks.
Adobe includes Fujifilm Profiles in Lightroom to cater to the many photographers who love Fujifilm's unique film simulations.
These profiles replicate the look of classic Fujifilm films such as Provia, Classic Chrome, etc., providing that distinct feature film colour palette and tonal quality.
But how do these Lightroom profiles differ from presets? And what happens to in-camera settings when you're shooting raw?

What’s the difference between Presets & Profiles in Lightroom?
First, it's essential to understand that Lightroom profiles and presets serve different purposes.
Presets in Lightroom adjust the sliders in the develop module, such as exposure, highlights, shadows, contrast, clarity, etc., to give a photograph a certain look.
In contrast, profiles affect the underlying colours and tones of your image without actually moving any of these sliders.
You can think of profiles as the starting point for your edits.
They set your image's overall mood and colour render, which is perhaps more profound. This is particularly useful for Fujifilm photographers who want to maintain the authentic film look while retaining the flexibility to edit their raw files further.
So, while the profiles replicate the look of the film simulations, they do not apply in-camera tweaks like shadows, highlights, or colour adjustments because raw files are designed to give you complete editing freedom from scratch.
This non-destructive approach ensures you're never locked into a specific style or set of settings, allowing you to make the most of both Fujifilm Esthetics and the power of raw editing.
A camera-specific film preset pack for Fujifilm X100VI RAW files
Fujifilm X100VI Micro Film Pack is a focused set of Lightroom presets designed specifically for Fujifilm X100VI RAW files. Built around the internal profile options available in the X100VI, it gives you a quick, straightforward way to create film-like edits in Lightroom without needing a larger, more complex preset system.
This is a simple, camera-specific pack rather than a full workflow collection. It is designed for photographers who already enjoy the Fujifilm colour and film simulation approach and want to carry some of that feel into their Lightroom editing. The page itself describes it as a quick and easy route to a film look using Fujifilm X100VI profiles.
If you shoot with the X100VI, you already know the appeal - those Fujifilm profiles have a character of their own. This pack is built to give you more variation around that starting point while keeping the process fast and familiar. Because it is tied to the X100VI profile structure, it is very specific about what it is for.
