Beta camera profiles

Hello: I just downloaded the beta camera profiles from the link posted on the adobe website. My question is rather primitive. When I open CS3 and click on the Camera Calibration Tab, I see a list of profiles that include some named:
Camera Faithful beta1
Camera Landscape beta1
Camera Neutral beta 1
Camera Portrait beta 1
Camera Standard beta 1
Could you please tell me which camera they pertain to? The photo I used was taken with a Canon 1Ds. Does it pertain to that camera's specific profile and to no other camera. I also have a Canon 1D Mark III. If I open a photo taken with this last camera, would the profiles be specific for the Mark III?
Thank you and pardon my ignorance.
Amada

I have a similar question. When using ACR 4.5 in Bridge (CS3) I see various camera specific profiles, but when I use LR 2.0 (final release, not beta) I only have a choice of ACR 4.4, ACR 4.3, and Adobe Standard Beta 1 when opening a previously converted to DNG file from Nikon D300 NEF. Should I be able to see other choices in LR 2.0

  • Beta Camera Profiles installation problem

    I downloaded Camera Raw 4.5 Plug in, which is needed for the beta Camera Profiles installation. CR 4.5 is definitely in the right place and working fine. According to Adobe FAQ, beta Camera Profiles belong in the Adobe folder in Camera Raw. I copy here:
    Where are the new profiles installed on my computer?
    On Mac OS X:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles
    I do not have CR 4.5 in my Adobe folder, only in Plug ins. I do still have CR v 4 in the Adobe folder, but not v 4.5.
    My question is... does the beta version of Camera Profiles automatically put Camera Raw 4.5 in the Adobe folder, or do I need to do something to get CR 4.5 there. I've already messed up on the download/installation of Camera Profiles by moving it into CR 4.5 the plug-in folder. When I realized my error, I have trashed that.
    Can someone give me some input here ? I'm clueless. This is not a BIG DEAL, as I'm getting along fine with CS3. I;m just curious to know how CR 4.5 gets in the Adobe folder>
    Thanks

    Steph_Kimball,
    You're the one who is mightily confused. :)
    > the recently released BETA CAMERA PROFILES which may be chosen in lieu of ARC
    Assuming "ARC" is a typo for ARC, the beta camera profiles are used in ARC, inside Camera Raw,
    not
    "in lieu of". The new profiles, once installed appear IN the Calibrate Tag in ACR, alongside any profiles there may be there for your camera model from earlier versions of ACR, in the very same menu, not
    "in lieu of".
    If you do NOT have a raw file generated by a Canon or Nikon camera supported by ACR 4.6 (I'll forget about ACR 4.5 for good now), you WILL NOT see the new beta profiles appear in the dropdown menu in the calibrate tag.
    You HAVE to be opening an image from a camera that is supported by the beta profiles or you will NOT see them. You'd see only the profiles from older ACR versions there.
    It's akin to not seeing JPEG as an available format if you try to save a 16-bit image file through Save As, because JPEG does not support 16-bit images.
    ACR must be presented with a file generated by a specific camera model supported by the beta profiles, or you won't see the beta profiles. It's that simple.
    I suggest you take this discussion to the ACR forum, where it belongs, and where the ACR team hangs out, participates very actively and will be able to set you straight.
    I don't think you understand how ACR works.
    You are adding to the confusion here, Steph, because you are confused yourself. If you go over to the ACR forum, you will be able to interact with the creator of ACR and Photoshop, Thomas Knoll, with ACR programmer Eric Chan, and with the man who literally wrote the book on Adobe Camera Raw, Jeff Schewe.

    I downloaded Camera Raw 4.5 Plug in, which is needed for the beta Camera Profiles installation. CR 4.5 is definitely in the right place and working fine. According to Adobe FAQ, beta Camera Profiles belong in the Adobe folder in Camera Raw. I copy and quote here:

    O.K. I understand about v 4.6. At the time I installed ACR 4.5, it was the version Adobe said was required. What has happened since then I was unaware of.
    Where I have the ACR 4.5 plug in installed is EXACTLY the path you describe, not the HOME folder, but in my HD. I can show a screen shot but don't think that works in this space. To follow my ACR4.5 plug in path, which is the same as you say above, here it is:
    HD/Library/App. Support / Adobe /Plugins/CS3/ File Formats / Camera Raw Plugin
    When I am in Bridge, the window shows Camera Raw v 4.5 at the top. So I must have it in the right place. I think you misread my original post as the path I copied there was copied from the Ådobe FAQ! link for the Camera Profiles, NOT for ACR. Sorry if I was unclear.
    I totally understand that the beta Camera Profiles and ACR do NOT reside in the same folder. ACR is in Plug ins, and the beta Camera Profiles go in the Adobe folder under Camera Raw. But I do NOT have ACR 4.5 in the Adobe folder so that I can put the profiles there. So what am I supposed to do ??

  • SOLUTION: Beta Camera Profiles Cause Lightroom to Hang

    I finally found what was killing my LR2 install. I was moving and processing images when the CPU went to 50% (one core at 100%).
    I ran a file monitor program and discovered LR2 was scanning *all* the camera profiles for each image selected. This is pointless since I had them all set to ACR 4.4!!!
    So if you're experiencing hangs, go visit the following directory and delete the profiles:
    c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles

    Thomas, I have a few questions, if you don't mind:
    "When you say scan every profile, do you mean all 300+ profiles"
    Does that mean that the Camera Profile Calibration Beta packages every profile available to Adobe in the download? Thinking about it after reading this post, I only remember choosing the OS being used.
    "or just the 10 or so profiles for the camera model you select?"
    I didn't think that we selected the camera model, instead thought Lightroom determined the camera used (presumably from the camera model information listed in the photographs metadata) and made the profiles for that camera available in the drop-down list.
    Will Adobe consider making camera profiles for each camera model available as a separate file, then let the user choose which camera profile(s) they need and download into a "profile folder." If so, it would be nice if the user could return to the download page and choose additional profiles when needed (such as when one buys the latest/greatest camera) and add them to the profile folder without over-riding or or removing profiles previously downloaded.
    Without going OT about which camera systems people use and why, I would think that everyone would agree that there isn't any need to load all 300+ profiles when you only need the profiles for the camera(s) one uses. This is especially true if it causes the program to run slower than it would without all those profiles one wouldn't use anyway.
    One other thing about the profile presets, if you don't mind - will Adobe also consider adding access to the camera profiles in the the Library Module's Quick Develop area near the Saved Presets option. It would be nice if you could access the profiles without switching over to the Develop Module.
    Thanks, in advance, for any response provided.
    Regards, JML

  • Adobe Beta Camera Profiles

    Sorry to ask such a stupid question, but how do you use/apply the profiles?
    I know they are selected in the camera calibration tab, but are they camera specific? What is the best one to choose for 'normal' use? 'Camera standard'?
    Thanks.

    I have been really impressed with the camera profiles - in my case the Standard NEF for a D3 - and posted a complimentary message to that effect on the Labs LR beta2 forum under the pseudonym Rockshead.
    The revelation that each profile is camera specific raises a particular question about that for the D3. Whilst the conversions at 'normal' ISO ratings are - as I said - stunning; the same cannot be said of those for the very high ISO numbers, available with the D3, compared to the conversion in View/CaptureNX. Applying LR noise reduction - by the bucket load - cerrtainly aids the definition, but has little effect on the colour differences.
    I suppose my question is, is this something that we have to live with; or is there hope for the future that this will be able to be sorted using tweaked profiles. Let me hasten to say, I am content to live with it for the relatively few ultra high ISO pictures I deal with. No complaints at all from me on the way Adobe has tackled this problem. Nevertheless, regular use of high ISOs is coming, and so it is a legitimate question.

  • Camera Profile Default in LR2--Problems

    I downloaded the camera profile betas and Camera Raw 4.5. When working with a Nef, I set a beta camera profile in LR2. No problem. When finished I open another NEF--same thing. Reverts to 4.4 default. Is there no way to make that sticky?
    Also, each time I open LR the default profile is Camera Raw 4.4, and I have to reset it. Nefs are all I am testing LR2 with, shot with a D300. How do I get a sticky profile. What am I missing?
    Also, since I have Camera Raw 4.5 installed, shouldn't that default to 4.5 instead of 4.4? 4.3 is also on the list, but not 4.5. Why isn't 4.5 available? Have I done something wrong?

    Try opening ARC with no photo, set the profile to what you want, and save
    it as the default setting. I know I've left out the details, but the
    general idea should work.

  • Does LR3 include new Nikon D700/D3 Camera Profiles?

    A few months ago, Adobe released some new "beta" camera profiles for the Nikon D700/D3. Are these profiles included in LR3? If so, do I have to do anything to get my photos to use them?

    Mark,
    I cannot give you a definitive answer to your question, but I can tell you what file-dates the different D3/D700 profiles have:
    Older Profiles:         31.10.2008
    Beta-Profiles:          06.03.2010
    ARC 6.1/LR 3.0:     21.05.2010
    So my guess would be that the beta changes have been included. If they will be used automatically on already imported photos after installing LR 3.0 you would have to test, since the profile names are different. On new imports, they'll be used automatically.
    Maybe somebody from Adobe (Eric?) can confirm this.

  • How to Search Lightroom Library for Photos Using Specific Camera Profiles?

    Photos processed using Lightroom 5.6 camera profiles for the Nikon D810 displayed posterized colors. A temporary workaround was published by Adobe, as described here:
    Nikon D810 camera profiles display posterized colors
    Lightroom 5.7 resolved the issue, but I still have a lot of photos that were processed with the "v2 beta" camera profiles provided by Adobe, and those profiles still remain on my computer. I'd like to find all the photos in my Library that were processed using a v2 beta camera profile, update them to the respective new 5.7 profiles, then remove the v2 beta profiles from my computer so they no longer show as options in the Lightroom Camera Calibration pane.
    How can I search my Library to find all the photos that used one of the beta Camera Profiles?
    Thanks.

    The Data Explorer, DevMeta, and Any Filter plugins can search for specific camera profiles.  (You can't do it with LR smart collections or filters.)

  • Camera Profiles Beta 2 in LR 2.3

    I just downloaded the beta 2 camera profiles from labs.adobe.com. They appeared as advertised in Camera Raw 5.3 but all I get in LR 2.3 under Camera Calibration is Profile:    "Embedded"
    I did restart the computer but still no luck.
    Is there a step I am missing?
    Thanks,
    Alan
    PS I have Vista Ultimate with 4 GB of RAM.

    You should not be bothering with the beta profiles as they have been superseded when ACR 5.2  was released.
    If you download Camera Raw 5.3 you will find an installer package for the most recent versions of the camera profiles included in the download package.
    Mac - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4364&fileID=4061
    Windows - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4365&fileID=4067
    Embedded suggests that the file you're trying to check the profile in is JPEG, TIF or PSD, which don't support the camera profiles. In some situations it may also appear for DNG files, but thse should also show Adobe Standard as a second option.

  • DNG Beta 2 Camera Profiles

    I installed the beta2 camera profiles for PS CS4.  Camera Raw 5.6.   When I go to the dropdown box in the Camera Profile presets there is only listing for nikon D2x profiles and Camera Standard, Portrait, Neutral, and Vivid.   I have a D300.  Should there be profiles for other cameras other than the Nikon D2x?  If Yes  how do I import them or where can I find them.  Are there profiles for the d300?
    Thanks

    The profiles that don't say a camera are for the current camera which is a D300 in your case.  The D2x ones simulate that camera mode on the D300.
    I think the D300 is new enough not to be supported by the old, old beta profiles, but they will clutter up the list for older cameras, so it's better not to have installed them.  ACR 5.6 comes with its own up-to-date list of profiles.

  • Camera Profiles and DNG Profile Editor beta 2 now available

    Hi everyone,
    Beta 2 of the camera profiles and DNG Profile Editor are now available. Please visit here and enjoy:

    I hope to have more detailed release notes/changes for you soon. You are welcome to ask questions, but please note that it may take a while for me to respond.

    Eric,
    I followed very carefully your instructions for installing the new beta2 profiles and deleting the beta1 profiles, but have the same problems as many others. I'd like to provide a bit more information. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium and have installed Photoshop CS4, updated with ACR5.1 and Lightroom 2.1 final release. As others have described, the default for all of my images was set to one of the Camera profiles (Canon faithful beta1), but now the profile name in Lightroom is blank. I tried looking at the other profiles and it does indeed appear that the beta2 profile is being used, but if I then reset the image it now shows ACR4.4, whereas the image had been imported with the camera profile as default. Also, if I open an image in ACR5.1 that was specified to use the same camera profile, it now shows ACR4.4 and it is not using the beta2 profile of what I had been using, I can see this by selecting the other profiles. Going back to Lightoom, I guess I could select all my images and select the Canon faithful beta2 profile, but then the mark shows up bottom right of the image showing that they have all been edited/modified, is there anyway to get all my images using the profile I was using but the beta2 version, without this happening and how about new imports?
    Thanks, David.

  • 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.

  • My Procedure for Camera Profile Betas (1&2) & Presets

    I went ahead and installed the Beta 2 profiles without deleting Beta 1. I had presets called:
    1. Adobe standard
    2. Canon standard
    3. Landscape, etc
    4. all the others
    The preset folder name is appropriately: Profile
    I just updated the Beta 1 presets with the Beta 2 presets by right-clicking the original preset and selecting update with current settings. The only current setting I had selected was camera calibration with the Beta needed for the preset.
    Now, when I select a preset the new Beta 2 presets are used. I still have available the Beta 1 presets by going to the camera calibration panel.
    Hope this helps because I've seen a lot of questions about deleting the old beta 1 etc.

    There was no need to install the beta profiles as LR 2.7 comes with its own set of final profiles, so you could get rid of the beta versions.
    If you're on a Mac they're located at Library > Application Support > Adobe > CameraRaw > CameraProfiles
    In there you should only have two folders labelled "Adobe Standard" and "Camera".
    LR automatically recognizes your camera, so all the choices you see in the drop-down menu only apply to that particular model. Besides the Adobe Standard profile you will find other choices that resemble the camera manufacturers' rendering styles for certain camera models. It looks though as if the E-520 is not supported, so you might only see ACR x.x.

  • Camera Profile Beta - will it port?

    First, thank you very much to Adobe for creating these new camera profiles per:
    http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles#Camera_Profiles_and_DNG_Profile_Editor
    For the Fuji S5 and Nikon D80 this makes a major difference.
    So, here's the question - if I set my pictures to "Adobe Standard beta 2" profile and in a couple months you go out of "beta" and the profile becomes "Adobe Standard", are the pictures I assigned "Adobe Standard beta 2" going to lose their profile or get messed up.
    I assume when this becomes production I will remove and reinstall the production version and/or the production one will replace the beta profiles. In which case will the "fixed" naming of profiles cause me problems?
    If the answer is yes, will there be a way to find and replace the broken profiles at some future date with the correct production one (I have a very large catalog)???
    Thanks in advance!

    "Camera Raw 4.6, 5.1 and Lightroom 2.1 will automatically switch to
    using the beta 2 profiles instead."
    This statement seems rather clear, but when I checked afterwards the
    profile selection was empty on *all images* that had the beta 1 profile
    assigned before.
    What does that mean? Did the automatic switch not work or is this just a
    cosmetic glitch?

  • Time frame for Camera Profile Beta?

    What might be Adobe's thinking in terms of releasing a final version of the new Camera Profiles? Not as idle a question as it might seem. It sounds like many LR users have added a new profile as an automatic Import choice; and as the weeks go by, significant numbers of photos must have been given one of these excellent developments as a starting point for further tweaking.
    As the profiles are in public beta, and Adobe Labs state they want user import before finalizing the release; it is germane to ask to what degree does Adobe plan - or indeed need to plan - to provide compatibility between a series of profiles that might be subject to further modification, and those applied during the interim (beta) period? And also how long that interim period is likely to last?

    The beta profiles will never just disappear. When we do release the final profiles, they will be installed such that both profiles appear in the calibration popup. The beta profiles will only go away if you manually delete them.
    If the user choses to manually delete the beta profiles, Camera Raw/Lightroom will automatically switch any previously adjusted images using the beta profiles to the final profiles with the same base name.
