"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)

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

Can't Find Camera Profile in Camera RAW Plug-In

I own a GoPro Hero 3 Black camera. I saw the Russell Brown demonstration of Camera RAW to correct lens distortion (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/take-flight-into-the-adobe-creative-cloud/creating-aerial-panora mas-from-gopro-hero-3-images/). In this instruction, he takes images into Camera RAW and selects a tab called Profile, and it automatically detected the camera from metadata and made corrections.
I was sold, subscribed to Adobe Cloud, downloaded Photoshop and started following his tutorial. When I got to the lens correction part, my Camera RAW has no Profiles tab. Brown does say that you need the latest version, but I have assumed that since I just subscribed and downloaded, that I have that.
Please advise.

My explanation was why there is no Camera Profile area in the ACR filter; however, that may not be the entire story for why you can’t find the Go Pro profiles:
First, the Lens Correction filter has long had access to the camera profiles. There are a few that work with JPG images, so you should be able to get them that way without having to use the CR Filter in PS-CC.
And, the Hero 3 profiles are new, and only in the Release Candidate versions of PS/ACR 8.2 RC and LR 5.2 RC available from Adobe Labs:
http://www.adobe.com/
ACR 8.2 and LR 5.2 should be final release in a week or two, I’d guess, but until then you’d want to download the RCs. Installing the DNG Converter 8.2 RC as linked, above, will probably give you the camera profiles for and older ACR 8.1, but not for LR 5.0, so if you want things to work completely, install ACR 8.2 RC and LR 5.2 RC, and then report back what isn’t working.

Hello, I think that you search for https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5Fdngprofileeditor
Here is a PDF from adobe about it: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/cs6/ DNGProfile_EditorDocumentation.pdf

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.

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.

Camera Profiles in Camera Calibration do not reproduce JPG look

I shoot on my Nikon D700 in "RAW + FINE" mode, which means that for each picture the camera records two images: a RAW file, as well as a high-resolution JPG file.
As is well known, RAW files often look washed out, since they don't have any of the extra saturation and sharpening settings applied that the camera automatically applies to JPGs.
Camera Calibration / Camera Profiles is supposed to solve this problem by applying some of those standard JPG enhancements to RAW files. However, no matter which Camera Profile I choose (there are about 10 different ones shown in the Lightroom dropdown), none of them look like the JPG. The "Camera Neutral" profile comes the closest. But even this profile makes the RAW image look less saturated than the corresponding JPG.
How can I reproduce the JPG look EXACTLY? The Camera Profiles give me an approximation at best, but it still does not come close to the JPG look.

I don't think this is a true statement.
Camera Raw does not and cannot not know what settings you had in your camera that affect the JPG ... things like high contrast, high saturation, etc.

The point of shooting RAW is not to reproduce that JPG look. The point of shooting RAW is to give you more control over the final appearance than you can get from shooting JPG (in other words, you might get processed photos that look nicer than the JPG). If you want to spend your time trying to reproduce that JPG look in your RAW photos, you will spend a lot of time and get very frustrated and not have that much success.
If you want that JPG look, use your JPGs. It's a lot simpler and faster.

My camera profiles under camera calibration (standard, landscape,etc) are missing since I've updated to 5.6. I have a canon 6d and my computer is a mac. How can I get these profile back?

Please upload one of the files to www.dropbox.com and post a public share link in a reply, here.
Show us a screenshot of the filename in LR that includes the extension of the file.
Right-click on one of these files and do Show in Explorer, then show us a screenshot of the files in the folder that includes the extensions--maybe a Details view.

Camera Profiles in Camera RAW

I just came back from a shoot at the Bosque del Apache NWR and discovered that my D3X NEF files do not have a camera profile pn the Camera Calibration Tab in Camera RAW. The only thing in the profile pulldown is MATRIX and there should at least 6-7 different profiles. My D300 files have all of the profiles in Camera RAW. I even went back to NEF files that had Camera RAW profiles and they are missing as well. I am currently running Camera RAW v6.6.
What gives? How do I get the profiles back?
Thanks in advance.

Specific camera profile in camera raw

I’ve just started using Lightroom 5 & Photoshop CC in Creative Cloud and understood that there would be a specific profile for my Panasonic GH3 in Camera Raw, that is I expected the programme to suggest default adjustments specifically tuned to the characteristics of my camera. I can’t find this anywhere in the programmes, indeed the only reference to my camera/lens combination is in the metadata and camera Raw seems to work on an Adobe default.
Am I missing something?

What profile options you have depends on how many profile Adobe ships for camera and how many profiles you save for you camera. The name may seem the same for other models but the are for a particular Camera model. The The Pull-Down profile menu jsy does not display the camera model. If you look in the folder Adobe stores the Camera Profiles you will get an Idea of how many profiles are on your system. I'm on Windows the root folder for Camera profiles is "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles" It has two sub folders "Adobe Standard" and "Camera" in "Adobe Standard" adobe stores all its standard profile for all the cameras it has profile for. The "Camera" has sub folders for each model camera and those folders may have several profiles for the camera model.

Why are there only three camera profiles listed in ACR?

I shoot with a Nikon D200 and shoot in RAW and have seen a tutorial or workshop where under the camera calibration tab, they have all different kinds of camera profiles like Camera vivid, or portrait or landscape or neutral etc. Well when I go into mine, there is just ACR and one other one. How come I dont have those other camera profiles so that I may get that jpeg processed look if I need to? Please help, I've been through all the preferences and everything, so I appreciate everyone. Thanks!

Looking on my Vista machine, which has Photoshop CS4/ACR 5.5, LR 2.5 and LR 3.0 on it, I see all the D200 profiles. Check to see if you have them or not:
C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\Nikon D200

10/08/2009 02:49 PM           112,130 Nikon D200 Camera Vivid.dcp
You might just search your entire hard drive for D200.dcp and see if they are somewhere else.
If you can't find them, then there is a profile-installer executable that is part of the Photoshop Elements Camera RAW 5.5 Update zip that is linked from the camera-raw update page.

No Camera Profiles as Choice in Calibration Section of Develop

I have Lightroom 2.6 installed on my desktop computer as well as on my laptop. Both are running Win7 64-bit. The Adobe Standard and Camera Standard Profiles are not showing up as choices in the camera calibration panel on my desktop computer, but they are showing on my laptop for the same images. I can see the profiles for my Pentax K20D in C:\Program Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles, but they are not a choice in the calibration dropdown. I only see ACR 4.4. On my laptop, all three are available as choices.
The only other difference between the installations is that I had the Lightroom 2.5 and CS4 demos installed on the desktop before I settled on Lightroom. By the time I purchased Lightroom, 2.6 was out so I installed that over the 2.5 demo and just added my product key. Lightroom 2.6 was installed on the laptop straight away.
I don't see any configuration option for anything related to camera profiles and putting the profiles in C:\Users\Myuser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles doesn't do anything. I also saw somewhere on the net to delete the index.dat file from that directory and restart Lightroom so the profile cache rebuilds, but this had no effect for me.
I'm stumped. Can anybody shed some light on this for me? Maybe some obscure registry entry somewhere?

You might try downloading and running the Camera Profiles update program for ACR and see if it does something to make the profiles visible.
This is available if you go to
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
and then ACR 5.6, then the link near the top that leads to the manual update for Photoshop Elements...which is a ZIP that contains the profiles installer executable along with a 32-bit and 64-bit version of the ACR plugin.

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.

CS5 ACR 6.1 Missing Camera Profiles

When I click on the Camera Profile pull-down in ACR 6.1, it doesn't offer Vivid as a choice. I think other choices are missing also.
The only choices it offers are: Adobe Standard, Faithful, Landscape, Neutral, Portrait, and Camera Standard.
At Adobe's direction, I downloaded and ran cameraprofiles_b2_win_102208.exe, but it didn't cause anything to change.
Any suggestions, please?

You can download and install DNG Converter to get all the 6.1 profiles back on your system:

LR2.1 Not Showing Camera Profiles List

I'm probably misunderstanding something here, but I've checked the installation instructions and the faq and can't figure out what.
I'm using Win XP Pro SP2 and LR2.1 (the just released final version). I've downloaded and installed (automatically, by running the .exe) (cameraprofiles_b2_win_102208.exe) the camera profiles.
I use a Leica M8 (which provides .dng raw files) and a Canon 5D (which provides .cr2 raw files).
I understand from what I've read that I should be able to go to the camera calibration panel in LR 2.1 and get a list of cameras to pick from,
but I don't.
When I open a Leica raw image I get these choices under camera calibration:
ACR 4.4
ACR 3.6
Adobe Standard beta 2
Camera Standard beta 2
Opening a Canon image gives me a longer list of choices:
ACR 4.4
ACR 3.3
Adobe Standard beta 2
Camera Faithful beta 2
Camera Landscape beta 2
Camera Neutral beta 2
Camera Portrait beta 2
Camera Standard beta 2
Is LR somehow automatically recognizing which camera shot the image and assuming I don't need to be bothered with a list of possible cameras to choose from?
Any help on what I'm missing will be appreciated.

>I understand from what I've read that I should be able to go to the camera calibration panel in LR 2.1 and get a list of cameras to pick from, but I don't.
No, you get a list of camera profiles, not cameras. The list only shows profiles that are made for your camera model.
