ACR and camera profiles

I feel like such a dunce! I have heard this mentioned before, but I don't understand. How do I select my specific camera in ACR? I'm sure you all know by now, but I am using the Nikon D70.
thanks!

Ann,
My problems appear to be OpenGL-related, as do many of the same problems other users are seeing. I'm willing to accept that something about the machine that I'm seeing the problems on (my main XP work machine) are related to something about my system. I've tried everything that's been suggested in the forum, including updating my video drivers and various other things. Part of the problem, IMO, is that video card makers are geared strongly toward gaming, and don't really care about PS users. Adobe tells me to contact ATI, which I did. ATI tells me it's Adobe's problem. Go figger.
My
main problem is this: When I open a file in PS and then drag the window to a different location, the content of the window disappears, letting the background show through. Adobe says that they haven't been able to reproduce the problem, but it's been reported by some other users. Makes it kinda hard to get any work done!
On my other machine, which is used mainly for surfing, I recently did a clean install of Vista 64-bit, and CS4 works fine on it. Hence, I'm pretty sure my work machine is fouled up some how, I just don't know where to look for the problem.

  • Lightroom 4.3 Update and Camera Profiles.

    Hello there!
    First let me start by mentioning that im running Lightroom on a Mac OS X (10.8.2).
    I was running v4.2 for a while until the v4.3 update came out about a week and a half ago.
    I updated to v4.3 and everything was working fine until I noticed something today.
    Im having problems with Camera Profiles. I do run the latest 2012 process.
    The problem to be exact is when I open catalogs that were made with v4.2
    I scroll down to Camera Profiles and here is what i get.
    I have presets that automatically correspond to the "film" profiles below.
    But ever since the upgrade it automatically goes to ACR 4.6 instead of the "film" profile.
    I know for a fact that with v4.2 I only had these profiles:
    Adobe Standard
    Camera Landscape
    Camera Neutral
    Camera Portrait
    Camera Standard
    Camera Vivid
    with the addition of the "film" profiles.
    After updating, thats what I get when opening v4.2 catalogs.
    Heres the weird part.
    When i create a v4.3 catalog, all of those Camera Profiles disappear.
    leaving only these:
    Adobe Standard
    Camera Landscape
    Camera Neutral
    Camera Portrait
    Camera Standard
    Camera Vivid
    and nothing else.
    When I looked at the Camera Profile folder, the ones I added are there but doesnt show up in Lightroom.
    Mac HD > Library > Application Support > Adobe > CameraRaw > CameraProfiles
    Is this a bug or is there a fix for this? Does v4.3 read Camera Profiles from another location?
    If so please help!

    I would suggest a two-step process:
    1) The problem could be due to a corrupt Preference File. This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
    Re-installing Lr, or upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to stay intact during upgrades.
    See here for where to find the Preference file for your OS: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m-4.html
    See here for how to go about Replacing the Preference File: http://lightroomers.com/replacing-the-lightroom-preference-file/745/
    2) If that does not help: Un-install Lr and delete the downloaded Lr 4.3 file. The file might have become damaged during download.
    Then download it again and install.

  • DNG Converter 5.2 and Camera Profiles

    Hi!
    I tried to search for an answer but did not find any.
    Question - how and when DNG Converter will use Camera Profiles?
    How do I specify which profile to use?
    I assume it can use them - version 5.2 comes bundled with them...
    Тhanks for the help!
    P.S. Since new version has installer, I'd suggest to create uninstaller too.

    >This somehow implies that DNG Converter reads settings from installed Lightroom. I'm not sure that this is the case - DNG Converter seems to be completely independent product.
    Yes, it does...for the camera model, if you have modified the Camera Raw Default in either Lightroom or Camera Raw then DNG Converter will use the user specified default. If there is no user set default, then of course will use the regular Camera Raw Defaultwhich in the case of 5.2 is now Adobe Standard. (I can't remember what version of DNG Converter started reading the CR prefs).
    >If I give DNG file to someone, who uses DNG-compatible program (other than Adobe's), do I have to give him all profiles as well?
    If you are using a "custom" profile other than Adobe Standard, the behavior is to embed that profile in the DNG so it is self describing. The only complicating factor is what version of Camera Raw/Lightroom the recipient is using. If they are using a version prior to Lightroom 2 or Camera Raw 4.5, then those older versions ignore the embedded profiles and will use the earlier simple profiles that have been used since DNG/ACR was introduced.
    As for checking on updating the DNG Profiles in the future, DNG Converter, as it's rev'ed, will include any new profiles that come out and will update them for any already installed and add any new profiles available for a given camera. The odds of updating existing DNG Profiles is not largethat's what the 2 beta rounds was for, to shake them out. But it's possible. It's more likely that profiles for new cameras will be added.

  • Lightroom 2 and Camera Profiles for the Nikon D50

    Hi,
    I've installed Lightroom v2 and the new Camera Profiles, as per the instructions and various postings I should now see my camera name appear in the Profile section of Camera Calibration.
    The default profile is ACR 4.4 and when I drop the list down I see the usual settings and Camera D2X Mode 1 Beta 1, Mode 2, etc. but no reference to Nikon D50?
    The Metadata on my images is set to a Make of NIKON CORPORATION and a Model of NIKON D50.
    Looking in C:\programdata\adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\ I can see there is a D50 profile but Lightroom v2 isn't showing it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Lightroom 4.4 beta and Camera Profiles Issue

    I'm testing Lightroom 4.4 beta and noticed that my D600 RAW files don't seem to be interpreted correctly when selecting camera profiles such as Camera Neutral or Camera Standard, etc. This becomes most obvious when processing higher ISO files. The only profile that seems to come the closest is Adobe Standard. I shoot in Camera Neutral. When I view them in Lightroom 4.4 and select camera neutral, the shadow areas especially seem overexposed. I don't remember having this issue in Lightroom 4.3. Will the final Lightroom 4.4 do a better job with camera profiles? I really hope Adobe works on this.

    Here is Adobe Standard 100% crop, which looks closest to the View NX 2 rendition shadow-definition-wise, but not so much color-wise:
    Here is a 100% crop of Camera Neutral preset, where shadows look like they've been pushed, but they haven't.
    Here is the way View NX 2 renders this file, but unfortunately I had noise reduction turned to "normal" in-camera and View NX 2 won't let me turn that off to view the clean RAW file. I don't have CNX 2, which would have allowed me to turn off the noise reduction. Still this illustrates a difference between shadow definition and color brightness difference:
    This is the full photo so you can see the lighting circumstances:
    Maybe I expect too much. I don't know. Let me know what you guys think.

  • Do I Need the lens and camera profiles?

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for lots of years (currently on PSE 12).  Today I discovered over 400MB of Adobe lens (LCP) and camera (DCP) profiles.  It appears that the files have been on my system for many years.  None appear to be for any cameras I have.
    Do I need these for PSE?  Can I just delete them?
    -- Larry
    PS:  I know they are not causing any problems but I kind of like to keep things clean.  There are over 2300 such files.

    Those are installed with photoshop elements and updated when you update the camera raw plugin and also are used by the adobe dng converter, so leave them and do not delete them.
    If in the camera raw dialog you go to the Camera Calibration tab and look at the Camera Profile, those are part of the above files your asking about.

  • CS3 ACR and Nikon Profiles

    I recently installed CS3 on an older Dell workstation (ca 2005 or so) to enable the use of the Epson scanner on XP Sp3. I also want the user of that computer to access CS3 to at least learn fundamentals. CS3 shows 10.0.1, ACR 4.6.0.30. All I can see in Calibration is 3.6 and 4.6, not even Adobe Standard. I have not had this happen on previous installations on XP and I am stumped. This isn't a big problem, the scanner doesn't use them, but certainly, she should have access to those profiles.
    There are two versions of View NX on that machine which she has been using but I have that on my own machine (Win 7) with no apparent interference.
    So, what am I missing?
    I should add that the Nikon cameras are D80 and D90, both supported by 4.6

    While ACR 4.6 can (if I recall correctly) use DNG profiles, I don't think they were installed with ACR, I think they were (and are now) installed with the free DNG Converter. The current shipping version is 6.6 which should run in XP. Install that and you should then have the DNG profiles.

  • Adobe 3.3 and camera profiles

    I am running 3.3 on a MacPro.  I shoot with an olympus E-1.  When I go to camera calibrations the only three options I have are ACR4.4, ACR 2.4 and Adobe standard.  In Kelby's book the drop down menu shows many other options.  What am I doing wrong?
    thanks in advance.

    These are the only profiles that are supplied by Adobe for the E-1.
    For most of the Canon and Nikon cameras other profiles are supplied. Go to the CameraProfiles folder to see the cameras that Adobe supplies additional profiles for.

  • ACR and Output Profiles again.

    I read a techie fight about this subject in an earlier post.
    I understand that ProPhotoRGB 8 or 16 is a possible way to go and then reconvert or what ever.
    The question that was never answered was: Can we change from the 4 default spaces to a different color space that we want to use while still in ACR?
    At this point a simple yes or no would be in order.
    If it is a no answer. I would like to respectfully request it be an option in the next version of ACR.
    Thanks, Ben

    Thanks Jeff,
    I receive poor originals from clients that need repair. I like to open them in ACR because I can make a lot of moves in one place and test the waters
    IE. I had a very dark, noisy, but basically OK Jpeg image that I would open, if possible in ProfotoRGB but in 1.0 or 1.4 gamma false profile and then do what I thought needed to be done.
    This I know could be accomplished in other ways, but I was playing "what if?" and asking "why not?".
    I did my own work around in Photoshop and got the job done.
    The idea is just one of convenience and time saving. ACR 4.3 is a great asset to me for both raw and cooked files.
    The result of the prior wordfest on this subject indicated to me that I am an art guy, not a computer science guy. I would like it If ACR would let me do what I think I need to do in a way that is conceptualy possible for my undersized brain to understand and have ACR do what needs to be done behind the scenes.
    Regards, Ben

  • Camera profile issues with ACR 5.4

    I run CS4 and in ACR my camera profile menu is no longer showing the normal drop down menu options (adobe standard, faithful, etc), and is only showing the options acr 4.4 and acr 3.3....I have had this software for 4 years and this has never happened before....anyone have any advice/ideas on why this all of the sudden changed?

    Something uninstalled the external camera profiles, perhaps another Adobe product.
    You can download a newer copy of ACR and have the profiles put back.  If your ACR plug-in is already updated to the latest version, then you can install the corresponding version of the DNG Converter and it also will put the profiles back in the place they need to be.
    You can get ACR updates from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

  • Missing Camera Profiles

    When I tried to install the Camera Raw 5.6 update, I got the message Camera Raw not installed. I also have no camera profiles showing up within Lightroom. Can someone tell me what's going on and how to get Camera Raw installed on my Mac? Thanks.

    Lightroom does not require ACR, which is a plugin for Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is required for you to install the latest version of ACR 5.6
    If you have LR 2 you can upgrade to the latest version 2.6 and you will have the equivalent processing engine and camera profiles as ACR 5.6 then its not necessary to have PS CS4.

  • Camera Profiles and Lens Profiles are missing in ACR 8.2.

    Yesterday I tried to install a new update for CS CC, but it failed. Then I uninstalled the app completely, and installed it again.
    When I opened ACR 8.2 I found out that there were no Camera profiles and LensProfiles (as it used to be before). Instead of usual Camera Profile was Matrix. There were no Lens Profiles in Photoshop  Lens Corrections either.
    The folder C/.../App Data/Roaming/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfilesDefault was also empty.
    I reinstalled the application a couple times with the same result.
    How can I fix the problem?
    Regards, Yulia

    Well,  C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Adobe Standard is also completely empty.

  • ACR 5.2 camera profiles and Nikon D700 color artifacts

    Using LR 2.2 or Photoshop CS4, conversions of D700 NEFs often result in peculiar color 'artifacts' (posterization?) in certain images, when using the new camera specific profiles like Camera Standard (or particularly Camera Landscape). Typically, the Adobe Standard or ACR 5.2 profile don't exhibit this behavior, at least not with significant changes to saturation and contrast.
    An example of this can be seen at http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3400/3179948383_cfda478eb8.jpg (LR 2.2, Camera Standard profile). Question is whether these sorts of results are expected? I'm otherwise quite happy with the new profiles. Thanks,
    Mike

    Mike,
    1. You may be happy if the problem goes away with the lossless compression, but it would be a nice service to the D3/D700 owners' community to
    b prove
    this. There are many photogs convinced, that the lossy compression does not cause visible loss (Nikon created a myth about this issue already with the D70).
    If you can create pairs of shots demonstrating the effect and would not mind my using your images, I would spread this on other forums as well, as I did with the D300.
    2. Re WB:
    i normally
    you can accept the WB interpretations of different raw processors, but not if the issue is just the WB. The fact, that the displayed color temperatures are close, does not mean much: the color temperature is not absolute. I don't go so far as to say, that it
    i should
    be different between CNX and ACR, but you can not rely on the number.
    Even the snow is clearly reddish in the ACR created JPEG. You may complain about ACR's WB conversion, but that is a separate issue. In order to compare the colors, first the greys have to be made grey in both conversions.

  • ACR Camera Profiles and Camera Manufacturing Tolerances

    For every camera model there is one set of model specific ACR camera profiles. Although those profiles are model specific, they are not camera specific. I'd suspect that not all cameras of the same model will produce exactly the same colors due to manufacturing variations. I'm wondering if differences in color rendition between cameras of the same model are visible or neglectable? Any experiences?
    A similar question: Taking the "same" photo with a Canon 550D and a Nikon D90 camera and processing the RAWs in LR with Adobe Standard profile can result in quite different colors (even when setting WB manually). Shouldn’t the processed photos look almost the same?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    My Nikon D80 and D90 don't look the same and I have run comparisons between the Canon 7D and the Nikon D90. Taken together, they all different from each other.
    The biggest difference between the D80 and the D90 seems to lie with the much larger dynamic range of the D90. Compared to the D80 at first glance, the D90 seems washed out at the lower values. This is easily overcome in ACR, but even with that, the subjectivity of the reproduction sometimes gives a nod to one over the other.
    The closest film comparison is Fuji Astia vs Provia. The D90 at default Nikon Camera Standard resembles Astia, while the D80 is a cross between Provia and Velvia. All this is controlable. One slider I use to enrich the D90 presentation is the black slider
    The Canon has other undefined differences which I have simply noted by viewing. I haven't engaged in any tweaking of that camera's images.
    So I'll use both the D80 and the D90 according to what I am wanting to happen. Of course, there are times where the differences simply inform the operator of what may be doable, and then one is tweaked to look much like the other.
    I checked out sprengel's links to the calibrator software. They have stopped at CS3, it seems. How does it perform with CS5? I may want to at least run a calibration of both cameras and look again.
    And, of course, Adobe Standard and Nikon Standard do not agree. At all. So, when is a standard not a standard?
    When there is more than one.
    Looking back at your post, I should specify that the profile I used when making the comparisons have been  the Camera standards, not Adobe Standard.
