Camera Profiles and PS Elements

I'm a happy camper with LightRoom and the new profiles :-)
A friend of mine have just bought a Nikon D60 and PSE. He is not ready
start using a RAW convert yet but I'm sure he want to do that later. That's way I advice him to shoot RAW from the start so he can edit this picture later when he is ready.
Can he use the new camera profiles with PSE? Is it possible to choose lets say Camera Standard as a default when he open raw pictures?

Excellent Thomas. How do you select another profile then Adobe Standard in PSE?
Ramõn: Even if my friend have less option in PSE I feel it's better to start shooting raw. Then he later can buy LR or PS CS and reedit pictures taken to day.

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.

Looking inside of DNG Camera Profiles and editing them

For those interested in the insides of DNG Camera profiles, and how to edit them, I've written dcpTool.
dcpTool is a compiler/decompiler for DNG camera profiles (.dcp files). dcpTool can decompile binary format DCP files into an XML format for editing with a text editor or whatever, and then compile the XML format file back into a binary DCP file, as well as extract embedded profiles from DNG files. It runs on Windows and OS X command lines, and is based on V1.2 of the DNG SDK.
See here: http://dcptool.sourceforge.net/
Health warning: dcpTool is a command line utility - if you're not comfortable with command line stuff, dcpTool probably won't be of any interest to you.

Very cool, thanks for the info.

Camera profiles and Untwisted Adobe Camera Profiles

If memory serves me correctly, mention was made a while ago about the Recovery slider within LR - basically how bad it was. Um? At this time, again if memory serves me correctly, someone mentioned something about 'Untwisted Profiles'.
Anyway, following a link from another forum I ended up here http://thomaslesterphotography.com/photography/untwisted-adobe-camera-profiles/ and thought I might just give it a go. However, I am unable to locate the folder in which Lightroom stores it's camera profiles. If I follow the route (in Windows), Documents and Settings, User, Application Data, Adobe, Camera Raw, Camera Profiles I only find a index.dat file which obviously isn't the correct place.
Could some kind soul kindly point me in the direction of where these Untwisted Profiles should be placed (Windows)? Curiosity is getting the better of me and I really want to (a) see what all the fuss is about (b) is it justified and (c) do these Untwisted Profiles really make a difference. Nothing ventured nothing gained eh`? lol

ElliR,
What a great move of Thomas Lester to publish all these profiles
About the installation:
Thomas refers to “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera”, which is where LR (and ACR) stores its delivered profiles. You can put the untwisted profiles there, under your camera folder.
But, if you want to keep them separate (which I prefer), you can also put them into the user specific folder (this is also where LR puts its presets). In this case, create a folder Camera in “C:\Documents and Settings\your-user\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles” (this is where you found the file index.dat) and copy the entire folder for your camera from the ZIP file into that Camera folder.
In both cases, you'll be able to see the new profiles in the Develop Module.

P.S: These folder locations refer to WinXP. To find out your local presets folder for your OS, use Preferences / Presets / Show Lightroom Presets Folder.

Camera Profiles and Defaults

I have been using CS5 and am about to install CS6. For my two cameras, I set up camera profiles and defaults by ISO in Camera Raw. The defaults include initial noise reduction settings for each ISO. Will these profiles and defaults transfer to CS6? If so, can I assume the noise reduction settings will be comparable? Thanks.

IIRC, all of those settings did transfer when I installed Photoshop CS6. But I installed CS6 first and then removed CS5. This broke the external editor link in Lightroom, forcing me to install Lightroom 4 again to reestablish the link.
It's likely that you will have to redo your default settings anyway using the PV 2012 adjustments because they are quite different in some respects. Noise reduction is improved in the new version, so I think you will probably want to reevaluate your default settings.

Camera Profiles and DNG Profile Editor

I saw the lightroom 2.0 eseminar and the presenter mentioned Camera Profiles and the DNG Profile Editor. All I see is ACR4.4 and 4.3. The the FAQ page says I need ACR4.5 and I can't find it and haven't gotten any update notice. Should I just wait for an update or forget it?
Don

>I have CS4. Will this overwrite ACR 5.1 in CS4?
If you have CS4, you should update to ACR 5.2. If you install 4.6, you will break your CS4 install. Either just run the Adobe updater app, or go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/new.jsp to download it. DNG converter is a separate download. Both camera RAW and NDG converter contain the final release version of the new profiles. DNG profile editor can still be downloaded from Adobe Labs: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles. There is also a profiles download there that you don't need if you install DNG converter 5.2.

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:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles
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

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.

New Camera Profiles and very high ISO files

I am having some difficulty directing this 'beta' comment as there no longer seems to be a Labs forum for the new Profiles. My apologies, if necessary, for therefore intruding on a user-to-user.
Also, to add to my misdemeanours, I previously posted the following (slightly amended here) in the LR forum - which again may be not the ideal place.
"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 of the same 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 by further tweak of the profiles. I can quite understand if this is element of the conversion is another ingredient of Nikon's secret sauce, and therefore outside of Adobe's future thinking? Nevertheless, it would be interesting to know the thinking.
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 brilliant way Adobe has tackled the camera profile upgrade. Nevertheless, regular use of high ISOs is coming, and so it is a legitimate question,"

1. Can if you can provide a documentation for such color differences in form of a raw file and pointing out some differences caused by the conversion?
2. "Very high ISO numbers" is not very specific. I wonder if you are aware of the fact, that your camera's highest real ISO setting is 6400. The settings 12800 and 25600 are eye-wash, meant only for those creating JPEG in-camera.

How do I find camera profiles and load them into Camera Raw?

I did a clean install of Windows 7 and reloaded all my apps. Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw used to show my Canon 60D & its lens, but now has no camera profiles. I found a way to lookup the camera/lens profile in Photoshop (Filter - Lens Correction), but not how to save it, so I have to do it every time I load PS. I can't even figure out how to get one into Camera RAW. Doesn't seem like this should be so hard. I must have figured it out when I first loaded CS5, but now I can't seem to get there. I figured a quick trip to Google would solve the problem, but no soap so far. Lots of advice on how to use profiles, but nothing (except invalid pages) saying how to get the darn things in there to begin with. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you install the camera raw 6.7 update?

You probably need to search, download and install the other photoshop cs5 updates as well, if you've just installed photoshop cs5.

Lightroom 5 camera profiles and Olympus EP 5

hI I'm fairly new to LR and trying to get different camera options besides ADOBE STANDARD in the camera calibration / develop module...
I would particularly like to get the camera profile for the Olympus EP-5 which I understand is supported by the latest DNG converter.
Problem is I've downloaded it but still ONLY get ADOBE STANDARD. I've converted some RAW images into DNG's, but still no camera profiles...
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be using the DNG converter, or if I need it at all in order to see the different camera profiles...?
Looking forward to some advice on this, since I've found info on this to be very scanty... even tech support was not helpful...
thx!

Where are you getting the impression that Olympus cameras have other camera profiles?
Mostly only Nikon and Canon DSLRs have more camera profiles than Adobe Standard. I have installed up through LR 5.2 RC and ACR 8.2 RC and DNGC 8.2 RC and there are only Canon (50), Leica (1), Nikon (42), Pentax (4), and Sony (15) camera-matching profiles. Nothing for Olympus other than Adobe Standard.
You can, of course, make your own profiles using an X-Rite Color Checker and the DNG Profile Editor:

Installation of camera profiles and x-rite Profiles show up only in a certain folder of a catalogue

Dear all,
I'm working in a Maverics environment on which LR 5 is running. I've tried to install the camera profiles for the Nikon D800 by copying them to the users Library/Applicaton Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Camera Profiles. After re-starting LR the profiles didn't show up. In a second attempt I tried to impoprt them with the extention manager which didn't work.
The second problem I'm facing is, that I've created camera profiles with x-rite. The profiles show up only in a certain folder in LR in the same catalogue. This means in this certain folder named shootings i can choose the x-rite porfiles. When I go -without leaving the catalogue- to an other folder ie. named sports, I can not see the profiles.
It would be great if somebody has a useful idea
Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers Stefan

See the instruction below for the location where your profiles should be placed. If they are placed in the same folder where Lightroom install package places the profiles created by Adobe they will not be recognized.
Your custom Camera Raw & Lens Profiles should be installed to the User folders…
Lightroom 5 no longer uses the shared ProgramData (Windows) / Application Support (Mac) folders for Camera or Lens Profiles. Instead, it stores the built-in profiles with its program files.
When you create camera or lens profiles, they must be stored in the user locations listed below. If you previously stored custom profiles in other locations, you’ll need to move them to these user folders, otherwise Lightroom won’t be able to find them.
Windows—C: \ Users \ [your username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ CameraRaw \ CameraProfiles \
Mac—Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /
For the lens profiles, substitute the LensProfiles folder for the CameraProfiles folder.
The camera and lens profile file extensions are:
.dcpr—camera profile recipe file used for creating/editing a profile in the DNG Profile Editor
.dcp—camera profile
.lcp—lens profile

Q: Custom camera profiles and process 2010 - incompatible?

I have two digital cameras that I've had modified to shoot in the infrared. I have to use custom camera profiles (created with the DNG profile editor) when I import IR images, otherwise the custom white balance is not preserved correctly. However, even though the Develop module shows that the process is 2010 for my IR images, the Detail and Contrast sliders under Noise Reduction are grayed out.
I read somewhere on the web that custom camera profiles used on import effectively negate the ability to use the new features in process 2010 - can anyone confirm this, or otherwise explain why I'm not able to use the Noise Reduction features of process 2010 in their entirety?
Thanks much.

Even with the amounts at non-zero values?

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 and Highlight Recovery: color shifts

I often see significant hue shifts and loss of saturation when using the Recovery slider in conjunction with the new dng camera profiles. I don't remember to ever have this 'problem' with legacy ACR profiles. In the sample below, you can see just that:
Sample: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3224/2918603614_7a562db832_o.png
This becomes a bit of a problem, as recovering highlights now brings color shifts as a side-effect and you have to go fiddling with color controls.
Often, the new, 'shifted' colors are even more pleasing than the 'unshifted' (i.e. recovery set to zero), but this is a psychological and a workflow problem too. It is just not nice to know that controls are interdependent and have side-effects.
Is it a bug or a fact of life? What's so different about the old a new profiles, that cause this difference in recovery effect?
The DNG to play: http://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlBblFOR0Y3N0JFQlE9PQ

Eric, thanks a lot for the explanation and technical details.
Knowing this helps me a bit, as it confirms my observations. What is not clear, is how these shifts will/should (or would they?) be addressed?
I mean Recovery was a perfect control until now. it just did what is should, reliably and consistently. Now we have the side-effect of color shifts.
a) Will Adobe adjust the algorithm to fit the new profile system? A bad thing, because it will not assure backward compatibility.
b) Will Adobe add a new control? Worse, because it adds unnecessary complexity.
c) Will/could the profiles be modified in a way as these color shift don't happen. As I understand from your previous post, this doesn't seem possible.
d) Will it just be left as is and I'll have to live with the color shifts? Now it seems it's the most likely option. Sad, because Recovery used to be so powerful, and now its power is somewhat compromised.
