ACR 3.6 Leica M8 camera profile

Hi, I have CS2 premium suite on Windows XP. This included ACR3.6 that I can access either via PS or Bridge. I have installed ACR 3.7 update. Bridge recognises the new Raw plug-in when I opened it. I have imported DNG files from Leica M8. I think that there may be an option to select a Leica M8 profile under the 'calibrate' tab. The only option I have for a profile is ACR 3.6. I know that the generic profile does work with my Leica M8 DNGs. I think that there is also a profile specific to that camera. Any help to find this or explain my mistake would be appreciated.

Hi Ramon. Thank you for you reply. I think that the Leica M8 is a special case. I read several references saying that it does have its own profile.
ACR 3.6 also adds support for the Leica M8 camera. This below from a reply to a post by John Nack at the end of 2006. But maybe this is out of date and no longer true?
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2006/10/camera_raw_36_n.html
"The Leica M8 uses DNG as its raw file format. In principle it doesn't need ACR to add support for it. In fact, all ACRs from 2.3 onwards support the Leica M8.
But Adobe have added their own profile for the M8 to ACR 3.6. Users have the choice of whether to use Leica's profile which is embedded in the DNG file, or Adobe's profile which is now built into ACR.
This choice comes from the "Camera profile" drop-down menu in the Calibrate tab. Most cameras using DNG are not separately supported by Adobe - they don't need to be. This one is an exception."

  • ACR 5.7 can see camera profiles in Bridge CS4 but not in Lightroom 2.7

    When utilizing ACR5.7 through Bridge CS4 - the cameral profiles are easily applied for my .NEF files (Nikon D300) but when I am in Lightroom 2.7 the camera profiles are not available unless I convert the nef to DNG.  I have tried to search the web and these forums but I am unable to locate the answer to my problem:

  • ACR 5 - Support for Custom Camera Profiles

    ACR 4 allows users to select from a list of four device-independent colour spaces (Adobe RGB 1998, ColorMatch RGB, ProPhoto RGB and sRGB). Unlike other RAW processors, it does not allow selection of a custom camera profile. This capability is very useful when colour accuracy is of considerable importance (e.g. reproduction of art works). Does ACR 5 allow for selection of custom profiles?

    When this question had been asked in the past the answer has always been, "No, because these choices are all that you need." This may seem to be a rather close minded answer. But in reality the Prophoto color space encompasses everything else that is available. So the solution has been to do all of your work in ACR in Prophoto and send the image on to Photoshop in that color space. Then convert to the desired color space in Photoshop.

  • Cannot see ACR 5.3 update in the Camera Profiles on CS4

    I'm using CS4 on Windows Vista 64. I have tried the manual installation process multiple times before and after re installing CS4. I've tried the AUM with no results good or bad. I know there are two Camera Raw.8bi files that have to be installed in Vista 64 and I've been very careful to get both of the correct files to the correct destinations - I've gotten a lot of practice at this. There have been no error messages. One thing Bridge is doing now is that when I open an image, it opens it in Elements 7, which I upgraded from. When I close PSE7 and reopen the RAW file, it then opens in CS4. My big concern however is not seeing ACR 5.3 in my Camera Profiles. Any thoughts for a non-techie?

    Robert, I am having a similar problem with Elements 6, in my case I have installed the 8BI file on my desktop, and I can see all the options Jim describes in camera profile My camera is Nikon, so those are the options I should get. But on my new laptop, all I get in camera profiles is ACR 4.4. I originally downloaded the most recent camera raw update to the laptop, but when that didn't work, I copied the 8BI file from the desktop to the laptop with a memory stick, and I still get the same results - no options. Camera raw on the laptop does recognize my camera, and lists it at the bottom of the preview screen, but it does not populate the options in camera profile.
    I distrust the answer you got from FAQs, because my camera did not exist at the time ACR 4.4 was released, and it really does not explain why I can't get the same camera profile selections on the laptop as I do the desktop. Both are Dell, Vista 32. Both are PE 6. Both are the same camera, and now, the same 8BI file. And both show ACR 4.4, The 4.4 doesn't bother me, but I want the camera options on my laptop.

  • Cs3, camera raw 4.0, camera profile is locked at acr 3.3

    Hello
    i am using pscs3, and wanted to use a colorchecker passport to fine tune my color balance. i *thought* that after running the xrite software, that their profile of my D200 would appear in a dropdown list under "camera profile" in the camera calibration tab of ACR 4,0 --- but the camera profile is locked at ACR 3.3, and there is no dropdown. suggestions are very welcome.
    thankws

    Most of the problems with ACR are one of 2 things.  Either you have more than one copy in the folder, or you have it in the wrong folder.
    In PS click on help/about plug-in/camera raw.  See what you have.
    Plug in should be in program files/COMMON FILES/adobe/plugins/CS5/file formats

  • Camera Profile Missing

    I have been using LR3 almost non-stop since its launch, but today my Camera Profile in the Develop module have disappeared - I am only offered ACR 4.4 or ACR 3.6. When I press Alt and the Reset button, LR3 offers me my Canon 400D profile, but when I choose Update to current settings, absolutely nothing happens. I have tried exitinf LR3 and going back in, but it just stays the same.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Beat
    Thank you for resolving my problem. To help others, I will detail what I did (in addition to the steps detailed above), to get my EOS 400D profiles back.
    After your reassurance that I would not lose any of my previous edit settings, I reinstalled LR3 from my original CD: the re-install just wrote over the original version of LR3, but I think that, crucially, it amended the Registry. That gave me my missing Camera Profiles back. I rebooted, ran LR3, and chose the upgrade to LR3.2. This time, it gave me an option to uninstall LR3.2 (which was what I was initially running when the problem started, or REPAIR the existing installation. I chose REPAIR, and so far, everything looks good.
    Also, although I have not reinstalled any part of my Photoshop CS3, Adobe Bridge/ACR is also showing my Camera Profiles too.
    I am sure that the installation and subsequent uninstall of Photoshop Elements triggered the problem.
    Thanks too, to everyone else who contributed.

  • Camera Profile

    Creative Cloud 2014
    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    XRite Color Checker Passport
    Nikon P7800
    I create Camera Profiles (.DCP files) using XRite Color Checker Passport.
    Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) looks for user generated Camera Profiles in folder
    C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    Camera Calibration tab | Camera Profile
    If I do not create a DCP profile for a shoot, the Camera Profile list does not have the default "Matrix" profile for the Nikon P7800. It shows a list of XRite Camera Profiles from my other shoots. Therefore, Camera Profile will use some XRite DCP as a profile no matter what even if you do not want that profile.
    Why is the "Matrix" profile for the Nikon P7800 missing?
    If I delete all the XRite DCP files in folder
    C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    ACR now shows the "Matrix" profile for the Nikon P7800 as a selection.
    For some reason, it is missing "Vivid", etc..
    I am not sure which folder ACR places the "Matrix" profile for a Nikon P7800.
    In summary, If there is anything in folder
    C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    ACR does not also search in the default folder where default DCP files for the Nikon P7800 reside.
    Why?
    What should one do?
    Having to use a XRite DCP not intended for that shoot (since "Matrix" is not available) makes no sense.
    Thanks in advance.

    You are correct. I goofed.
    I installed the Adobe DNG Converter 8.8 - incorrectly thinking it included the ACR.
    It is unclear why the following page does not have CameraRaw_8_8?
    Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter for Windows
    The title of the page would indicate it should include all the ACR downloads.
    I went to the page you first suggested for the latest ACR installer at:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
    After installing "CameraRaw_8_8.exe", "About ACR" now shows the correct version 8.8.0.397.
    Bye-the-way, I am unclear what the difference is between "CC Desktop Manager app" and Adobe Creative Cloud application. I thought the Adobe Creative Cloud application replaced the "CC Desktop Manager app"? Adobe Creative Cloud appears as "CreativeCloud.exe" in the Task Manager i.e. is just an ordinary EXE.
    Further question - As expected ACR does not appear as an APP in the Creative Cloud application list since it is a plug-in. If the ACR is out of date, am I correct in assuming that the Creative Cloud application will say Photoshop is "up to date" since the Creative Cloud application does not look at plug-in dates. However, if the Creative Cloud application says Photoshop has an "update", the update will include the latest ACR plug-in.
    Do you have any idea where Adobe stores the native Camera Profiles for each camera?
    Thanks again for your feedback.

  • 3.3 RC - need camera profile for Nikon D7000?

    I'm kind of a knucklehead about Adobe so please be patient with me....
    I have a Nikon D7000 (not a D700).  Downloaded 3.3 RC and can edit my RAW pics - works for me.
    But there are no profiles in the camera calibration.  What am I missing ?  Is it a Camera Raw update?
    Maybe one of you folks can explain this to me.
    Thanks, Michael.

    No, Lightroom does not use the ACR plug-in.  The camera profiles are part of the Lightroom installation.  I don't have a D7000, but I recall reading in another thread that there was an Adobe Standard profile available.  My guess is that this is preliminary support until the other regular profiles can be created.  I might be wrong.

  • Camera profiles bug

    Some camera profiles not appear in the version 4.4., and ACR 7.4
    folder of camera profiles
    I see this in LR 4.4 and ACR 7.4
    And this whith LR5
    I had made me with ColorChecker Passport. Anyone know where it is due. You can fix-it?
    If  I open one camer profile made in 4.4 with "texedit" I see this:
    IIRC   ∆
    b!∆
    and if I open all the camera profile made with 4.3 i look this:
    IIRC   ∆  b!∆
    What has changed in the plugin developer?

    There was a change to the behavior of LR4.4 and ACR 7.4 to look for camera profiles only in the user level location not the root level. What OS are you on?

  • Camera profiles in DNG from camera (Leica S2, M8)

    Hi all,
    I´m reviewing captures from the Leica S2, which is saving Raw in the DNG format after capture. There is only one camera profile in the DNG files ("embedded"). Compared to a JPEG (mode DNG+JPG for capture) of the same shot the color rendering with the embedded profile is more saturated and slightly shifted in the hues. Greens get an ugly plastic look.
    I have captures with Leica M8, too. They have more camera profiles: Embedded, Adobe Standard, Camera Standard and ACR legacy (3.6, 4.4).
    As I understand Leica M8 DNGs are supported by Adobe with camera specific camera profiles while Leica S2 DNGs are NOT supported by Adobe with specific camera profiles.
    Please can someone clarify this?
    Second question: Is the Leica S2 embedded profile a camera specific profile (from Leica) or a general camera profile? Who is in charge for the embedded profile?
    Mike
    ((posted this yesterday in DNG forum too, but this forum seems to be more visited))

    Jeff Schewe wrote:
      As far as I can see, any support for the S2 raw files is preliminary (which means it's NOT officially supported with a full range of color profiles).
    Jeff,
    I´ve got shots from two S2 cameras and they are pre-production (in terms of firmware, Leica will update this).
    I process them with ACR 5.6 / LR 2.6.
    As far as I understand "embedded" means color rendering as supposed by the camera maker (in this case Leica) and "Adobe Standard" does mean an official camera profile from Adobe. "Embedded" is pretty close to the color rendering of the S2´s JPEGs.
    By the way, Capture One does open the DNG with a "DNG File Neutral" ICC profile. The color rendering is quite different. I know there is no DNG camera profile support in other applications than ACR/LR.

  • New camera profile not "appearing" in ACR, but does in Lightroom

    I recently created a camera profile for a Nikon D200, using an X-Rite Colorchecker chart photo and the Chart feature in the DNG Editor.  I exported the camera profile.  When I go to the Calibration tab in ACR 5.5, the new profile does not appear in the drop down list with the other camera profiles.  However, when I go to the Develop module in Lightroom 2.5, the new profile does appear in the drop down list there.
    I am running Windows 7.  Snooping around my root drive I find that if I look within the Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles directory (referenced in the Fraser and Schewe CS4 Camera Raw book as the Vista location for the profiles) I can find no camera profiles and when I place the new profile there it still does not appear in ACR.  When I look in ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\Nikon D200    directory I can see the regular set of camera profiles for the camera, as well as the one I created, but as I previously stated, the newly created profile does not appear in the ACR list.
    A side note - I did some experimentation with camera profile names.  I added "XX" to the end of the Nikon Vivid profile name (not the extension), and then that profile no longer appears in the ACR list of profiles.  I removed the extra letters and then the profile reappears in the ACR list of profiles.  Seemed odd behavior to me.  I also noticed that the profile I created with DNG Editor is noticeably smaller than the others provided by Adobe (28K compared to 110k).
    Hope someone has a suggestion for me.

    Your reminder about both Photoshop (main) and Bridge needing to be shut down for changes to take effect reminded me that I had Bridge set to "auto-start at log-in".  So I checked and it was still running (shown with the other hidden icons).  When I "shut it down" from the UI I had thought it was fully terminated.  So I completely shut Bridge down, restarted, and the new profile now appears.
    Thanks for the reminder/pointer in the right direction.

  • Recovery Slider: Color Changes with Camera Profiles, not so much with ACR 4.4 Profile?

    I'm sure there's a reason for this, and not necessarily a defect, but I have to ask:
    The recovery slider: if I use the Recovery Slider on an image set to the ACR 4.4 camera calibration profile, this helps control my highlights without affecting the overall color/tint of the image. However, if an image is set to the Adobe Standard camera calibration profile (or any of the other camera profiles) and I use the Recovery Slider on that image, the affect on the image seems to be different: the highlights are also controlled, but not without a perceived effect on the color tint of the image. The color balance almost seems to slightly change. Particularly noticeable on skin tones. I'm working with 5D files, using Lightroom 2.3 on a Mac.
    What's the reason for this? Anyone experience similar?
    Thanks

    This is a known "problem". It is caused by "hue twists" that are present in the camera-matching profiles and the new Adobe profiles. Several threads on this in the ACR forum:

  • Camera Profile missing in ACR 6.7 (PS CS5)

    I have looked all over the place for a solution to this problem and so far can not find one.
    I am running Windows 7 64bit, PS CS5.
    I just noticed that my Nikon D90 camera profile is missing under the Camera Callibration area in Camera Raw (it had been there before). The only thing that shows up is ACR 4.6:
    I have tried reinstalling the ACR 6.7 plug in...didn't work.
    I really don't want to try to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop.
    Oh, I have also looked on my computer in my C drive and found the list of camer profiles...the D90 is not listed (in fact, there are only 8 Nikon cameras listed in my Adobe Standard folder).
    One more thing...I had CS4 installed originally. I have since uninstalled it. I'm not sure if the issue I am having has to do with that or a recent update.
    Adobe should really have a seperate file that you can unstall just for camera profiles.
    Like I said I have searched all over and have not found anything...I am  really hoping there's someone on here that can tell me how to get my  camera profile in there.

    I recently installed Windows 8.
    1. Can I get a ACR profiles for my Canon 1Ds Mk lll and my Sony RX 100?
    2. Can I install the DNG Converter on Windows 8? This OS isn't listed as here as one of those suitable. > http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389
    3. Noel, where are the equivalent locations on a Windows 8 machine? ProgramData doesn't exist, as far as I can see.
    Thanks.
    D.
    Edited:
    Ok. I found another Adobe download that said Windows 8 is compatible, so I installed the DNG Converter.
    However, no cameras are listed under Camera Profile in ACR.
    This is the case whether I load a Canon RAW file or a DNG conversion of a Canon file.
    Any idea how I can get the profiles to load?
    Thanks.

  • "Camera Profile" in Camera Calibration ACR tab - Q

    I upgraded from PSE5 whcih used ACR 4.7 - and now using PSE8 w ACR 6.1
    In the Camera Calibration tab in the Camera Profile drop down - I see "ACR 4.7" still listed.
    Can someone tell me how to make use of this tab and how I can delete the ACR 4.7 and use 6.1 - if there is a benefit to doing so?
    Thank-you!

    I think the issue could be that I have both PSE 5 & 8 installed at the moment.  I'm using the 30 Day Trial - and I'll uninstall PSE 5 once I get my actual disc & serial # in the mail. I did not want to uninstall v5 until I had the v8 serial # and was convinced that v8 worked well.  During the v8 installation - it recognised v5 but said I can keep it.  My concern is uninstalling both and reinstalling v8 and having catalog & stack issues.
    I installed the camera profiles as Adobe directs "before" pasting the new ACR 6.1 file in the folder.
    Nevertheless, I installed the cameraprofiles.exe again today - previous to posting this thread.
    I guess a main question is - what would I be missing out on by not having ACR 6.1 in the profile? (vs 4.6)

  • Loading Camera Profiles for ACR

    Hello All, I downloaded the camera profiles from Labs.Adobe.com, ran the setup which looks like it put the data in the "Settings" folder under the "Camera RAW" folder.
    When I go to Camera RAW and select Camera Profiles then Load, a dialog box opens looking for camera raw settings.xmp in the settings folder, however, the folder is empty.
    Where did I go wrong?
    Thanks for any help,

    Where did I go wrong?
    First off, you need to post what version of Photoshop and Camera Raw you are using. Second, while you can indeed download the old "beta" DNG profiles, you may as well forget those and download the final shipping version which is part of the package for installing DNG Converter 5.3. Go to the DNG Product Page and download the 5.3 version-the DNG Profiles (the final release versions) are part of that install See: DNG Product Page
    Then I think you are confused on how to use the profiles...when properly installed and using Camera Raw 4.6 in CS3 or at least 5.2 in CS4, the DNG Profiles will show up under the Camera Calibration panel...only when loading a raw file–there are no profiles for JPEGS. Also, the number of profiles and their names will vary by camera. You can _NOT_ load profiles into Camera Raw from within Camera Raw...if you are using the flyout menu at the side, that's the wrong way of using them.
    You really need to do some reading...see the docs on Labs at the DNG PROFILES page scroll down and read the Getting Started section. If you want further help, post your system, ACR version and camera...
