Camera Profile options suddenly missing in Lightroom...

Okay... so I noticed yesterday that (for some reason) my camera calibration profile options have disappeared, and my only option is "Adobe Standard". I used to have all the others (camera standard, camera standard 2, adobe standard 2, ACR, etc), but they have vanished.
I'm running Windows 7 32bit.
I thought maybe it was just Lightroom 3.5, so I un-installed and re-installed... no luck.
I un-installed 3.5 and re-installed 3.4.1.. no luck.
The camera profiles are in the proper directory (based on other forum posts I've found)... no luck.
I've tried removing the camera profiles from the directory and re-installing... no luck.
Not sure where they went, or what happened, or how I can get them back. Colors just aren't the same without them
Any ideas? I searched for hours on different forums and support sites, with no avail... Am I missing something? Is there another software besides Lightroom that needs to be installed? I'm out of ideas.
Cheers.

The list of profiles displayed is dependent on the camera used to shoot the image. Typically, cameras from Nikon, Canon and some Pentax will have a range of profiles whereas others vendors (e.g. Sony, Panasonic and Olympus) will only have Adobe Standard. I suggest that you check which camera model is showing fewer profiles than you expect and report back. Someone will then be able to tell you whether it's got a a full or limited range of profiles.

The Camera app is suddenly missing from my iPhone, how do I get it back?

My camera app is suddenly missing from my phone.. how do I get it back or find it? it's not in any 'folders' -- Same with my Safari app-- Not sure if my 2 yr old deleted it? I didn't think those were deletable apps.

Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted. Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

Lightroom 3.6 / ACR 6.6 Camera Profiles Missing

Greetings.
I've read through so many threads about this, and still can't make camera profiles show up in either LR 3.6 or ACR 6.6.
I'm shooting RAW with a Nikon D7000. The only camera profiles available are Adobe Standard, Camera Standard, Neutral, etc. LR/AC recognizes the RAW file was produced by the D7000, or at least that's what shows up as Make & Model in the MetaData.
I've checked the path
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\NikonD7000
and the 5 DCP files are present.
I've confirmed LR/ACR is reading from this path by exiting the software, and temporarily changing
...\CameraProfiles\...
to
..\FUBARCameraProfiles\...
and when I then launch LR/ACR, I get a message that camera profiles are missing.
I'm using Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, logged in as the administrator to eliminate any security issue, and I installed LR/ACR as the admin as well.
Lens profiles work fine. On all my RAW file, the lens is correctly identified, and I can choose it from the dropdown for lens correction.
If anybody has any ideas on what else to try, I'd be grateful.
Happy New Year, all!

The camera profiles that you see in Lightroom don't specify which model they are for. They are automatically chosen for the camera that took the raw image. If you see Camera Standard, that is the Camera Standard for your D7000. When I see that one, it's for my D300.
Here's what I see for a Canon S90:
Here's what I get for a Nikon D300:
The v4's probably aren't there for you, but you shold see the rest of them.

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 profile tab suddently greyed out

Went to use LR just now and the camera profile options are greyed out. Anyone else experience this? I'm using 5.7 and OSX 10.10.2
I've never seen this disabled ever.

You're quite correct that both operating systems have problems. To offer my story, I had used Windows exclusively since 1993. I'd wanted a Mac at that time but they were SO much more expensive than the Windows 3.1 machines, and I wanted a larger monitor so was quite proud of my NEC monitor at that time.
I wasn't able to acquire a Mac until 2.5 years ago. I'd planned on switching over entirely to the Mac but I soon discovered the "joys" of having two systems on in front of you at once! I soon began to prefer all of my photo editing work on the Mac, partly because my Windows 7 machine is much older and slower. I can tell you that during this two years my Mac has crashed on three times, when it became unresponsive. I had to restart without saving but when it rebooted (which takes about 20 seconds) everything was fine. My Windows 7 machine, on the other hand, has crashed many times, and had many more problems where it would not boot, or would not shut down and I simply would have to cut the power and try and do a system recovery. I'm a "power user" so I am not uneducated about how to maintain a Windows computer. The Mac just works so much more reliably. I AM NOT an Apple freak. I do not use an iPhone (I prefer Android) and I am not planning on acquiring an Apple Watch. BUT I do know a good operating system and hardware when I see it, and my Mac is one smooth operator.
Sorry for going on about Mac/PC in the wrong forum, but we sort of touched on it.

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.

How can i add the Sigma 10mm 2.8 Fisheye lens profile from the camera profile in windows to lightroom 5?

It only seems to give me a 15mm fisheye option for Sigma and not the 10mm even though it is a profile in the camera profiles folder.
Can anyone help with importing this profile into Lightroom?

Just so it is black and white for my sake. I am shooting with a Nikon D7100 using a Sigma Fisheye 10mm 2.8 and using the Lens Profile of the Sigma 15mm 2.8mm on Lightroom.
Then the correct profile to use is the Sigma 10mm F2.8 if you want proper Vignetting correction and matching Distortion correction, but you'll need to shoot camera raw images (i.e. no JPEG lens profile). This is also why you are only seeing partial correction. As I said, "With a crop factor camera only the central crop area of the full-frame Sigma 15mm lens profile will be applied."
That said there is absolutely nothing wrong with using the Sigma 15mm lens profile with your crop factor Nikon D7100 if you are happy with the partial correction results, but you can also do this using the correct Sigma 10mm lens profile (set less than 100). There is a fisheye correction plugin called Fisheye-Hemi that works very similar in that it only applies partial correction. You're getting about the same results as Fisheye-Hemi for free using partial correction with the LR lens profile tool. That should make you happy! I suggest experimenting with both the 15mm and 10mm lens profiles and start shooting camera raw image files. Your're not realizing the camera's full capability shooting JPEGs!
In the DSC_7098 images posted none of them look very sharp (slow shutter speed?). Other than geometric correction I can't judge the posted images for "sharpness" in the corrected areas, which is the major concern. The biggest issue with rectilinear correction of fisheye images is loss of detail in areas with the most correction (edges and corners). If that were not the case people would use fisheye lenses for ALL wide-angle images and simply correct them inside LR. Sadly that's not the case and using LR's Lens Profile Distortion and other transform tools to correct fisheye images considerably softens the corrected areas (sides and corners).
Fisheye geometric distortion with some subjects is almost undetectable. So how much correction you need will vary by subject type and what the end use for the image. Any fisheye image that has correction applied will lose sharpness in the corrected areas, which may be fine for most purposes other than large prints.So it's best not to strive for 100% rectilinear correction–Just the correction needed to make the image look better.
Canon 8-15mm F4L FE on 5D MKII Full-Frame @ 15mm (No correction)
Looks good to me with no correction!
For more flexibility and better results PS's Wide Angle Adaptive filter and content aware fill tools will retain more image detail in the corrected areas. Here's the same lens and camera with an image processed in PS:
15mm Full-Frame Fisheye
LR Distortion = 50 (partial) PS Adaptive Wide Angle Filter + Content Aware Fill
The corner image detail is about the same in both of the above images at 1:1 view. Partial LR Distortion correction is good!
So what happens if I apply 100 Distortion correction to the image inside LR?
1:1 Compare View (lower-left) with LR Distortion = 100
100% LR Distortion correction of fisheye images is NOT good IMHO!

ACR Camera Profiles - missing?

I'm new to ACR and would like to open a .nef file using a Nikon D3 camera profile. I'm running the last version of cs5 and ACR 6.2 (updated today). When I open the file in ACR, I see the Camera Calibration tab, and the Camera Profile pop up menu. I see profiles that look generic, like Camera D2X Model 1, Camera Vivid, etc. I looked in Adobe Application Support (Mac OS 10.6) and see a long list of camera profiles, including the D3..what am I doing wrong? I'm missing something for sure.

Since Lightroom will not read in-camera settings for raw images, those profiles have been designed and named to emulate those settings as closely as possible. I'm not enough of a Nikon historian to understand why they include profiles for the D2X, but they are there for every Nikon camera that I am aware of. Apparently there was something about the output of that camera that a lot of people look for.
When I first started using Lightroom and the profiles I was quite satisfied with the Camera Standard profile, which simulates standard output from the camera in JPEG mode. But it was a little too saturated and the shadows were a little harsh for my liking. I eventually changed to the Camera Neutral profile and made a couple of adjustments to saturation and vibrance. It comes a lot closer to what I want. I have found that the D2X mode 3 will sometimes soften the shadows and give me a better result. But basically, you just need to experiment with the different profiles to see what they do. Eventually you will come to know when to turn to them. It's a pretty simple concept.

Smart collection has "source color profile" as filter option, does not work on camera profiles

In Lightroom 5 i tried to use the "source color profile" filter option in smart collection, however it only seems to work on rgb files (jpg, tiff) that have a profile embedded. It does not work on values like "Adobe Standard" which is a "source" profile of a RAW file, or any of the camera profiles i can choose fo given Raw file. What am i doing wrong?
The Help does not give any clue on this, nor does the coverage by any of the Lightroom guru's like Juleanne Kost.

In my opinion the filter is acting correctly.
The Adobe Standard profile is not a profile defined in the source file, it is a profile assigned to the file in the raw converter and used with raw files that do not have a source color profile, already, so to me the filter is acting correctly because “source” means where the profile comes from, rather than what profile a master photo has had assigned to it.
The source-color-profile option is useful to determine the size of the color gamut in a file’s color numbers which indicates its suitability for various purposes: An sRGB file can be safely uploaded to the web, an AdobeRGB file is going to look right on a wide-gamut monitor and printablebut shouldn’t be uploaded to the web, while a ProPhotoRGB file has a large color space and can be safely edited in a way that adjusts the colors significantly, especially if it is 16-bit, without color-banding or posterization, but a ProPhotoRGB file will probably not look good if directly uploaded to the web or sent to a print-shop that doesn’t do their own color profile conversions.
I would agree that being able to filter raw files based on the assigned color profile would also be useful, but this is a different thing, to me at least, than filtering by the source-color-profile.

How i load the camera profiles to lightroom?

i spend all my day for this matter. i can't see in camera calibration ( lightroom) the profilesi download . i can see only profile: Embedded
and nothing elas. what's worng?

You are using JPEG output so 'Embedded' shows with no camera profiles. Camera profiles are only available when using your camera's RAW file format. If your camera only provides JPEG output, then there is no need to worry about 'Camera Profiles.'
If you are using a DSLR camera, you can select that option in the camera's menu. Your camera manual explains what RAW formats are available and how to select them. RAW format (.CRW, .CR2, .NEF) files provide the best results in Lightroom.

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.

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.)

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.
