ok, LR gurus, here's a question for you:
In the Camera Calibration panel of LR3... I can choose either "Adobe
Standard" or "Embedded" when processing an image. It appears that
Adobe Std is the default.
That's not what I see in LR 3.5. Have you been updating yours?
My k-5 arrived set to the "bright" custom image tone (pg 222 when I
RTFM) by default.
Does it follow... that when I process a a dng file... captured in this
"bright" image finishing mode.... and I select the "embedded" camera
calibration... then I am applying the parameters (saturation, hue,
contrast, sharpen, etc) of that finishing mode?
Similarly, if I changed the mode (to natural, or portrait, or
landscape. for ex), would then LR access a different 'embedded"
calibration to match those modes???
As always... Thanks for your input.
:)

I think you're confusing the function of Camera Calibration (ie in the
Develop module). Used with a colour checker card, CC lets you create a
colour profile for the camera body to get you more accurate colours by
removing a persistent cast or bias. It's like calibrating your printer
workflow. It has nothing to do with the embedded setting hints in the
DNG file.
As for whether the different in-camera finish settings can influence LR
when DNGs are imported, I haven't a clue. I don't ever change them
(except by accident) in-camera. I prefer to let tweak them into shape
after import. I generally bulk-set all the images to a reasonable
starting value for the shoot (or a few times for large sub-batches
within a shoot), then trim each keeper individually from there.
