Camera profiles for Sony A700

Hi,
I'm working in CS4 (Mac) and I downloaded the latest camera raw 5.6. I have only the Adobe standard, ACR 4.4 and ACR 3.5 in the Camera Calibration -Camera Profile.
I don't see special camera profiles for my Sony A700. In tutorials they showed profiles for Canon or Nikon. How can I get the profiles for the A700? Do they exist?
Thanks a lot
Claudine

Hi Claudine,
At the moment these are the only profiles made by Adobe for the A700. You can build your own profiles (or edit existing profiles) using the free DNG Profile Editor, if you wish. Another solution for a custom profile is the ColorChecker Passport, from X-Rite.

Current Lightroom / Camera Raw Camera Profile for Sony ILCE-6000 inaccurate: green cast in shadows! Capture one better! Please fix it!

Hi folks from Adobe!
Please take note that the current Lightroom / Adobe Camera Raw Camera Profile for the Sony ILCE-6000 is very inaccurate: There is a serious green cast in the shadows!
Capture One Express for Sony (which is free by the way) renders a lot more correctly!
Please correct this, since I'd rather buy the coming LR6 because of keeping my established workflow instead of going the Capture One route.
A good example can be found in the dpreview forum "LR5 A6K shadow pulling, a mess! Adobe LR is broken? "
Or search for Philp Reeves 3 weeks with the Sony A6000 review "3 Wochen mit der a6000", where he compares it to the Sony A7, using both times Lightroom to push the shadows.
The Sony A7 is fine where earth looks like brown earth, the A6000 picture looks like grass instead.
Please fix this! This is a high volume camera frequently bought by enthusiast or as second body for FF photographers. That would be really great!

I am talking about the two raw files linked in the very last post of page 6 of the Reeves comparison thread, not JPGs or screenshots of unknown manipulation. In LR they both say f/11 and ISO 100 and have a similar tone, but one is shot at twice the shutter speed as the other. This side-by-side is using Adobe Factory Defaults for each image where the profile is Adobe Standard, the toning sliders are all 0, tone-curve linear, and the Sharpening and Color NR are 25:
However, when I look at the camera-embedded JPGs, side-by-side, the 1/80th image on the left is darker than the 1/40th image on the right, as expected given the reported shutter-speed difference:
And it is indeed the darker image that has more shadow problems, also as expected.
When I do manipulate the darker (a6000) raw file in LR, I do see that the shadows are greenish when brightened unlike most other cameras which usually show magenta, which is the combination of the blue and red sensors showing more noise because there are half-as-many photosites as compared to the green, so I am seeing what people are complaining about and would expect shadow noise to be purple not green, I'm more concerned that these two example raws aren't actually comparable due to apparent differences in exposure. It is also odd that the lens listed in LR is different than the lens listed in the filename, so either someone has mistakenly or deliberately renamed the file wrong or someone or something has changed the EXIF parameters that LR is reporting to be the same when they're really not.

Where/how to obtain camera profiles for Adobe Camera Raw 7.3?

Where can you get camera profiles for ACR? And how do you load them into ACR? Is the Sony A77 on that list? Need help on this one. Thanks.

Adobe Standard is the only camera profile available for your camera, then, if that’s all you see.
Adobe only makes the so-called “camera-match” profiles, with names like Camera Standard, Camera Portrait, Camera Faithful, etc, for Canon and Nikon and a select few others. I suspect there is a lot of work involved in these and they don’t do it for cameras they see as less popular or less used.
They wouldn’t be the same as the Camera-Match profiles from Adobe but you can create your own proilfes with an X-Rite 24-patch ColorChecker Classic and the Adobe DNG Profile Editor or using the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport package:

Could´nt find a camera profile for the M9.

I have just bought a Leica M9 but I could not find a camera profile for the M9. In the folder "application support/adobe/camera raw/" there is only a profile for the M8. Do I simply not see the profile or is there none. I am using Lightroom 4.4. and Camerea Raw 7.6. on a Mac.

It isn’t on the list but it produces DNGs with an embedded camera profile so it wouldn’t need any specific support from Adobe, I don’t think, so maybe they didn’t feel the need.
If you download the sample DNGs from KenRockwell, you’ll see an Embedded and an Adobe Standard camera profile, which don’t appear to be different because switching between them produces only the tiniest variation in the histogram. If something equivalent to Adobe Standard is already embedded in the camera’s DNGs that there wouldn’t be any other Camera-this or Camera-that profiles to match, hence only Adobe Standard is supplied.

Camera raw for Sony A7

I havw Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and need update camera raw for Sony A7? Where can I find it?

Support for the A7 was added in the latest version of Camera Raw 8.3 back in December. Adobe only updates shipping products so you’d need to upgrade to PSE12:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
An alternative is to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to create DNGs from your ARWs, one folder at a time. The DNGs will have the added information that older versions of the ACR plug-in need to open the files.
You can find the DNG Converter on the general Adobe updates page:

"Embedded" camera profile for .dng file?

Why does Lightroom 5 show "embedded" as an option for camera profile for .dng files created by my pentax k-30? I thought that "embedded" profiles did not apply to .dng files?

A JPG can contain color profile data not just a reference tag containing the name, although other Google results indicate that the APP2 segment is only has 65533 bytes of data and if the profile is too large for that then it is either chunked somehow or written into an XMP segment:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/imageio/metadata/doc-files/jpeg_metadata.ht ml#color
“If the ColorSpace of the image is based on a non-standard ICC Profile, then that profile is embedded in an APP2 marker segment. If the ColorSpace is not based on a non-standard ICC Profile, but an app2ICC node appears in the metadata, then an APP2 marker segment is written with the appropriate standard profile. Note that the profile must specify an RGB color space, as the file must be JFIF compliant.”
EXIFtool can extract and embed a profile:

Where do you put DNG camera profile for light room?

I just received my Leica M9 and downloaded from chromasoft a camera profile for the M9. it is a .dcp file but I can not find where to use it.
Adolfo

Dependent on OS. On Windows vista the usual location is Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CamerRaw\CameraProfiles .
Or you can place it directly in the folder where the Adobe profiles are located, usually Users\All Users\Adobe\CamerRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera|Leica M9
on OSx /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles
The actual profile is used via the calibration setting in the develop module.

Camera profile for Panasonic DMC - LX7 ?

Hi ! Where could I find camera profile for my new (ld) Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 ?
Any help welcome !

You can create your own profile or search the community to see if one has been created for your camera by somebody else.

Lenscorrection profiles for Sony Alpha lenses

Are there coming correction profiles for Sony Alpha lenses, like the SAL1650. Why are there only profiles fot E mount?

Limited Resources and Lack of Manufacturers Data are often cited as the two most common reasons.
1. You need time to do it.
2. You need a lens or better-the data from the lens manufacturer or both.
And, as always, you can create your own profile and share it with others via the Lens Profile Creation tool and Downloader.

Profile for Sony DSC-P200 and Samsung NV24HD created

Hi,
just started plying around with LPC and create a profile for my old pictures from the Sony DSC-P200 and Samsung NV24HD.
I have uploaded/emailed them to Adobe, so they should show up in the near future.
br
Beholder003

Hi simonsaith,
Is it the Samsung NV24HD (Samsung 4.3-15.5 mm F2.8-5.9) profile that you added?
Yes, that's it.
In the camera make drop down, if you type in "samsun" (which will trigger ALPD to do a wildcard search that matches any make that contains "samsun", your profile will actually show up. This is because the camera embedded "SAMSUNG TECHWIN" as the camera make for the EXIF.
Thanks for telling me. I would not have expected that I can do a wildcard search in a dropdown field there. I suggest making this more obvious in a next software version. I bet very few users are aware of it.
The naming things has some more traps. The built in lens' maker is actually called "Schneider-Kreuznach", but LPC seems to have issues with double names and creates a "Schneider". That's why I renamed it to "Samsung" to keep it in an existing group. I hope future software versions can cope a little better with this.
This seems similar to the behaviour when I put in "Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar ..." into the Sony DSC-P200 lenstype.
That special camera actually is also even more difficult for LPC when it comes to the model type. I did shorten it in the profile. The model is given as "NV24HD, VLUU NV24HD, LANDIAO NV106HD" which is a little clumsy when used as profile name.

Lens profile for Sony A900 carl zeiss vario sonnar 24 - 70 zoom?

Is there a lens profile for the Sony A900 Carl Zeiss vario sonnar 24 - 70 zoom lens in Photoshop CS5 camera RAW? I have the latest update, the Sony is an old camera now and the CZ zoom is similarly old, beautiful thing to use but doesnt seem to be supported in camera RAW profiles or lens correction filter in CS5. I'm about to use RAW to process around 10 sets of 5 exposures to create files for HDR and want to syncronise the correction to each group of images before I begin to process them, after HDR process I intend to create a pano out of them so its imporrtant to get the lens correction done right at the start and applied identically to each image. Thing is that if I look in the Sony profile theres only a few lenses but no Carl Zeiss, if I look in Carl Zeiss it doesnt list the Sonnar 24 - 70.
Any solutions?

It appears a lens profile is available for this lens using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader. The profile does not have to be created with your camera model, just a model with the same crop factor or smaller camera sensor. This one is for a 1.5 crop factor APS-C sensor size.
The 24-70mm is available as well for a 1.0 Crop camera, which will also work with a 1.5 crop body.

Camera Calibration for Sony A500

When I go into the camera calibration for shots taken with my Sony A500, the *only* thing that appears in the profile drop-down is "Adobe Standard". Does that mean that there isn't a profile available for the A500?

" the fact that there aren't other profiles simply means that Adobe has not created other profiles that simulate in-camera rendering styles for your camera model."
So can anyone confirm that these in-camera rendering styles / profiles are not available for the A500?
And in general, if you haven't bought a Canon or Nikon, should you just expect that LR doesn't love you as much?

Lens Profiles for Sony Alpha DSLR's? Share Yours!

Hey everyone out there, I wanted to make a thread were we could share lens profiles for the Sony Alpha DSLR system. I currently use the A-700 and the A-900 for all of my "Pro" work. I welcome this new tool with open arms as distortion is sometimes a huge issue when using some wide angle lenses.
I personally use the following lenses on a daily basis and will be making profiles for these lenses sometime today!
Tamron 70-200mm f2.8
Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 (lots of distortion on the wide end)
Sony 50mm f1.4
Sony 70-300G
Sigma 50mm f2.8 Macro
Minolta 28mm f2.8
So lets see if we can get the most popular lenses for the Alpha mount profiled and ready to go to share with everyone and help make the Sony shooting experience a whole lot better!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Yes, I actually believe the difference is minimal. The optical distortions & vignette would be the same. Obviously when creating the profile, it would help to use the higher-res camera, as it would allow better recognition of a finer grid chart, but the light would fall on the sensor in the same way for both cameras.
I'm not looking to argue with anyone. I know things tend to get heated sometimes here and I don't have any desire for that.
Let's say we have different opinions.
Nothing wrong with that so long we behave in in civil way.
The size of the microlenses on top of the photo cells also differ from earlier CMOS sensors.
That can influence the CA.
Color fringes, particularly noticeable at the edges of high-contrast photos, are is principally caused by lateral chromatic aberrations, where the lens — like a prism — splits the visible light into its different color components. DxO Optics Pro analyzes each image and automatically detects and corrects these fringes or irisations, thanks to its precise characterization of the fault based on the specific lens-camera combination that you use.

Can i use the lightning to usb camera adapter for sony cybershotdsc-w380

DDoes anyone know how to use a lightning to sub camera adapter for a Sony cyber shot doc-w830

This discussion may help.
It mostly depends on the camera. Some cameras have a Transfer Mode, which does not attempt to charge while transferring pictures. does yours have such a setting?
Alternatively you can try to plug a powered USB hub between the camera and the USB connector so the power is provided by the HUB rather than the iPad.
Other than that, yes the Memory card reader may be a better option assuming your Camera uses Secure Digital (SD) type memory cards.

How does Adobe make their camera profiles for ACR and Lightroom?

I'm not interested in the proprietary algorithms , but I am curious as to the photographic mechanics and hardware tools used by Adobe to make the various camera profiles as they differ markedly from the ones I make using the DNG Profile Editor.
My methodology is to set an X-Rite 24 patch Color Checker target, light it evenly with electromic flash (with 0.1 stops from center to corners as mesured with a Sekonic L-758r Meter) and make a series of exposures bracketed in third of a stop increments around the meter reading in case the camera sensitivity differs from the meter's.
I then process the raw files and convert them to the DNG format, select the best exposure and run it through the DNG Profile editor. My results differ from Adobe's generic profiles for that camera enough that that I don't thin kthe difference can be credited to the difference between a generic profile a specific camera.
How do the different tools work in the DNG converter? Starting with the Options for "Base Tone Curve"? Is there a document a moderately color geeky person can understand that explains this?
I thin kthe DNG Profile editor is a great and under usedtool. I wish more people knew about it.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Someone who only eats sausage may not want to know how it's made. Someone who creates things with food, a chef, a cook, or otherwise is thinking about a career in the food industry, might have a interest in such things. Someone who is thinking of making sausage will want to know all the details. Someone who is concerned with the public safety might want to know how sasauge is made.
It would be nice for a sausage maker to give some hints about the process as compared to what each of us can do with the DNG Profile Editor and to the original poster's question, why are our profiles different from Adobe's?
It is my experience that when I create a profile with the DNG Profile Editor, and then compute the color error for each of the 24 color patches of a CC24, using a program like Imatest, some colors are quite a bit off and some are very close, and the colors that are off, are not the same ones that are off when I compute the color error using one of the Adobe Standard or Camera Standard profiles.
Is Adobe using more detailed and sophisticated color targets with hundreds of different colors, or if not, do the tools provide more feedback and allow more manual manipulation of the profile and so the differences are due to their judgement about which colors to make "right" and which ones to let have more error associated with them, that can be manipulated by hand instead of merely letting the DNG Profile Editor apparently distribute the error amongst the various colors with some sort of even-handed calculation.
For example it is easy to imagine that someone tweaking a profile by hand with a live readout of the error of each of the colors plus an overall composite error, might put more emphasis on skin tones being right if they have a background in people photography, or more emphasis on bright colors being right if their experience is in textiles and the current trend in the US is bright colors--and a different emphasis when the trend is muted colors so there is cultrual bias and life-experience coloring a "standard" profile.
In other words, how much of the difference between Adobe and our profiles are due to Adobe having different or better science, and how much of it is due to Adobe have different or better "artists" who decide what colors to make correct compared to others.
