Converting LUTs to Camera Profiles in the DNG Profile Editor

Hi,
I've just started using the DNG Profile Editor, and can't seem to get the process right.
I have some film LUTs that I'd like to convert to camera profiles for my 5D Mk II.
Here's how I'm trying to do it, maybe someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
This is what I tried first:
1. Take a Color Chart into Photoshop, apply the LUT via Color Lookup adjustment layer.
2. Save out as 16bit TIFF
3. Open as Camera Raw, then save out as DNG
4. Open the adjusted color chart into DNG Profile Editor, run it through the color chart section to create a recipe of color adjustments.
5. Export out as Camera Profile
But when I open up a 5D image in Lightroom, the profile doesn't show up in the list, so I realised maybe it needs to be saved specifically as a 5D profile, but I can't figure out how.
If I:
1. Do steps 1-4 as above
2. Open a 5D DNG file so that I can set a 5D profile as the base profile
3. Load the recipe
The color adjustments appear on the color wheel, but nothing happens to the 5D image, no colour change at all.
Exporting it (which does say 'Export as 5D profile') does then give me a profile that shows up in Lightroom, but it doesn't do anything to the image...
What's the correct way of doing this?
Thanks!

I don’t know claim to know anything about the internals of DNG Camera Profiles, but I’m pretty sure you cannot take a RGB-file (TIF/JPG) DNG and make a raw-file DNG Profile for use with your camera raws, which sounds like what you’re trying to do.
Despite looking like it might work in DNGPE, starting with an RGB-file recipe (rather than a RAW-file recipe) will only lock the specific colors on the color wheel, rather than create a raw-capable camera profile.

  • ICC Profiles in the new Camera Profile Editor

    Hi Folks,
    I'm wondering if anyone knows why we aren't (yet) able to assign ICC profiles directly in the Camera Raw module, rather than working from the profile editor? Is this essentially a proprietary technology or trademark issue, and thus not something to be implemented into ACR in the future?
    By all means, feel free to add any background to this conversation that you wish - I'm admittedly ignorant on the trade issues involved here, and certainly don't wish to add any ill will. Just looking to understand how these (still) emergent technologies are shaking out and interfacing with the ACR workflow.
    Thanks

  • Camera Raw Profile made with Camera Profile Editor are 54 Ko

    And the "natives" one are 110 Ko.
    Am I doing something wrong ?

    The size of the profile depends on which color tables are included. When you use 'Both Color Tables' option, both illuminant A and D65 color tables are the same, so the profile size is optimized by only including 1 copy of the table. That's why the profile size falls to roughly half.
    The Camera Matching profiles are a little bigger because of a bigger table used to get a closer approximation to the camera-provided color rendition.

  • DNG Converter 5.2 and Camera Profiles

    Hi!
    I tried to search for an answer but did not find any.
    Question - how and when DNG Converter will use Camera Profiles?
    How do I specify which profile to use?
    I assume it can use them - version 5.2 comes bundled with them...
    Тhanks for the help!
    P.S. Since new version has installer, I'd suggest to create uninstaller too.

    >This somehow implies that DNG Converter reads settings from installed Lightroom. I'm not sure that this is the case - DNG Converter seems to be completely independent product.
    Yes, it does...for the camera model, if you have modified the Camera Raw Default in either Lightroom or Camera Raw then DNG Converter will use the user specified default. If there is no user set default, then of course will use the regular Camera Raw Defaultwhich in the case of 5.2 is now Adobe Standard. (I can't remember what version of DNG Converter started reading the CR prefs).
    >If I give DNG file to someone, who uses DNG-compatible program (other than Adobe's), do I have to give him all profiles as well?
    If you are using a "custom" profile other than Adobe Standard, the behavior is to embed that profile in the DNG so it is self describing. The only complicating factor is what version of Camera Raw/Lightroom the recipient is using. If they are using a version prior to Lightroom 2 or Camera Raw 4.5, then those older versions ignore the embedded profiles and will use the earlier simple profiles that have been used since DNG/ACR was introduced.
    As for checking on updating the DNG Profiles in the future, DNG Converter, as it's rev'ed, will include any new profiles that come out and will update them for any already installed and add any new profiles available for a given camera. The odds of updating existing DNG Profiles is not largethat's what the 2 beta rounds was for, to shake them out. But it's possible. It's more likely that profiles for new cameras will be added.

  • Loading Camera Profiles for ACR

    Hello All, I downloaded the camera profiles from Labs.Adobe.com, ran the setup which looks like it put the data in the "Settings" folder under the "Camera RAW" folder.
    When I go to Camera RAW and select Camera Profiles then Load, a dialog box opens looking for camera raw settings.xmp in the settings folder, however, the folder is empty.
    Where did I go wrong?
    Thanks for any help,

    First off, you need to post what version of Photoshop and Camera Raw you are using. Second, while you can indeed download the old "beta" DNG profiles, you may as well forget those and download the final shipping version which is part of the package for installing DNG Converter 5.3. Go to the DNG Product Page and download the 5.3 version-the DNG Profiles (the final release versions) are part of that install See: DNG Product Page
    Then I think you are confused on how to use the profiles...when properly installed and using Camera Raw 4.6 in CS3 or at least 5.2 in CS4, the DNG Profiles will show up under the Camera Calibration panel...only when loading a raw file–there are no profiles for JPEGS. Also, the number of profiles and their names will vary by camera. You can _NOT_ load profiles into Camera Raw from within Camera Raw...if you are using the flyout menu at the side, that's the wrong way of using them.
    You really need to do some reading...see the docs on Labs at the DNG PROFILES page scroll down and read the Getting Started section. If you want further help, post your system, ACR version and camera...

  • InfraRed Camera Profile

    I have a Nikon D70 converted by LifePixel to Infra Red.  I have Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 3.4 and DNG converter 6.4 installed, along with the DNG Profile Editor 1.0.0.45 beta.  I am running Windows 7 64 bit Professional.
    Using the Profile Editor, I have been able to create a new recipe for the IR camera and save it as a recipe.  But the next step, to make it useful in Photoshop and Lightroom, is to export the profile.  However, I cannot find WHERE to export it to on my HD.  Lightroom shows the ACR, standard, and camera specific profiles under camera calibration (depending on what file I select under develop), and that part seems to be working correctly.
    Using Google and Adobe searches, I turn up several references to this question of 'where', but even the ones that specify Windows 7 give a path that simply doesn't exist on my HD.  To begin with, if I go to my C: drive, I have Program Files and Program Files (x86), which are specific to either 64-bit or 32-bit programs. Under the Adobe folder in those 2 folders, I have a folder for DNG Codec, and for x86 I have Acrobat.com, Adobe Utilities and DNG Codec. If instead I select the folder Common Files, then Adobe, there are many more listings (Acrobat, various CS4 folders, and many more).  There is also a folder called Camera Raw 5, which under both the 32- and 64-bit Program Files folders has subfolders AMT and Installer Data.  None of these has anything called CameraProfiles, or variations on that which appear in various posts.
    Please!  I want to create and install a custom camera profile for my IR camera.  Where do I export the file so that Lightroom and Camea Raw under Photoshop can find it???

  • Camera Profiles with Older Lightroom Version

    Using an older version (LR 2.7) on an older Mac G5. Would like to download the camera profiles for my Canon cameras (1Ds MK2, G12) from Adobe but can't find them on line. Since this version is old, do compatible profiles still exist? If so, where might I find them?

    You cannot add camera support for newer cameras to an older version of LR by merely downloading profiles.
    You have to either update the LR to a version that is newer than your camera or use the DNG Converter that is new enough to create DNGs from the raw files and then those DNGs have enough information for an older version of LR to support them.  The issue you’d have is that the DNG Converter probably only runs on the newer OS as well, so you’ll have to find another computer to convert the files with.

  • Tone Curve in DNG Profile Editor

    Is it possible to load a Point Curve from Adobe Camera RAW into the DNG Profile Editor as aTone curve? 
    I know you can enter the data again in the DNG Profile Editor in the Tone Curve Tab, but I develop the curve using Adobe Camera RAW and have it saved as a Point Curve. 

    Rob, I looked at the both a curve xmp file and a profile recipe that contained a custom tone curve with a text editor.  The profile recipe has a lot of information and it's not easy to locate the tone curve data.  I think it's easier at the present time to input the individual points in the tone curve tab of the DNG Profile Editor.  Maybe Adobe will add this capability at some point. 

  • Q:  how to load a camera profile???

    hi:
    1. i downloaded the various camera profiles (via adobe labs) and installed them.
    2. question: when i open up an image in ACR (4.6), i can't figure out how in the world to access those camera profiles. any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks. harry shin

    No it is not a jpeg - the Ricoh GX200 records adobe dng raw files, this is definitely a true raw file, and the there is an adobe std profile for the camera, see below:
    In fact after playing around I found a work round:
    1. I downloaded and opened the camera profile editor
    2. Opened a dng file created by the camera ( It shows the base profile as Embedded (GX200) )
    3. In the Base Profile select Choose external profile and select the Adobe Standard profile for the camera (this profile was installed by the camera profiles download)
    4. Without making any changes to the profile, file -> export profile
    5. Restart bridge, open a gx200 dng file in acr and the exported profile is now listed in the profiles dropdown dogether with embedded (the original adobe standard profile is still not listed).
    I notice that export puts the profile by default in my specific user profile rather than all users (it could be that this is why it now shows up - I have yet to try moving it to all users profile).
    (BTW I am using Bridge CS3 and ACR 4.6)
    Hope this helps someone,

  • Profile Editor and Olympus Pen E-P2

    The DNG Profile Editor don't recognize DNG Files converted from Olympus Pen E-P2 ORF files.
    I have used the latest DNG converter 5.6.0.148 and the DNG files I have obtained can be open in Lightroom 3 beta. But the profile editor can't open them.
    I have used the Profile editor for several Olympus cameras without any problem.

    I have found a solution : I open the dng file version 5.6 with Camera raw 5.6 and I choose to save the image using and older version (4.1 for exemple).
    The dng file that I obtain can then be opened with the Profile editor.
    It seems that the Profile Editor must be upgraded for the new version of DNG.

  • Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's"  after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

    Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's"  after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

    DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
    If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

  • Adobe DNG converter is corrupting NEF files. The color is way off and it's not the camera white balance.

    I was using the converter for a few months and it was working fine. Now it will convert the files, but the color is really messed. I know it is not the white balance, because the same files convert fine to TIF files through Nikon's software. I am using this converter for Nikon d610 NEF files. Here's a sample DNG and the same image in TIF. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    When you use the DNG Converter to make a DNG from an NEF, the DNG Converter applies the default Camera Raw settings.  When I open your DNG it looks fine, but when you open it, it looks off.  That is because you've some how set your Camera Raw defaults to have a bunch of customized settings specific to a particular picture, instead of having them all be normal settings.  Below you'll see what Photoshop is saying the settings of the DNG-Converted-JPG are, with the non-defaults marked in bold.  The main problems are the WB being custom and a bunch of HSL setting changes.
    Here is what Photoshop reports that the JPG was created using:

    To fix the problem you're gonna need to reset your camera raw defaults:
    And then be careful when saving new camera raw defaults with the menu item just above, that your image has the camera raw defaults applied to it, except whatever small change you want to be the new default.

Will I be able to open the DNG files in LR with the edits preserved? Will I be able to open the PSD files in LR with the edits preserved? Any import/catalog etc issues between PSE10 and LR?

    Lightroom has no problem reading DNG files. Whether the edits you have done to the DNGs you have originally edited in Photoshop Elements 10 I'm not sure. ACR edits made to DNGs are saved in the DNG file itself, as apposed to a XMP sidecar file, so LR should see those edits. At the worst you will get an exclamation mark in the upper right hand corner of the imported DNGs and clicking on that exclamation mark you will get a dialog box asking you to either import settings from disk or overwrite settings. you would select import settings from disk.

  • Lightroom 5.7 Not Showing Camera Profiles from DNG File

    Hello,
    I just installed Adobe DNG Converter 9.0 and converted some Nikon D7200 fles to DNG for import into Lightroom 5.7. This works fine except for the Camera Specific profiles not showing up. Only Adobe Standard shows up.
    When I open the same DNG file in Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6, [it] properly shows all the camera specific profiles for the D7200. What am I doing wrong?
    Here is what the develop module Camera Profile drop down menu looks like in LR 5.7
    And in Photoshop CS6 Adobe Camera RAW ( ACR ) 8.7.1.311
    Thanks for your insight.

    gonzalu,  the reason is because the profiles are installed separately for Camera Raw vs Lightroom. 
    If you're using Lr 5.x, then to get the extra D7200 profiles visible in Lr, you'll need to manually copy/install them.  Try looking here:
      C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\Nikon D7200
    and copy the contents of that folder to here:
      C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    (where you should substitute your actual username, above).
    Then restart Lr and the profiles should be visible now.
    (You don't need to do this step if you're running Lr CC, because the new profiles are included with that installation.)
