Develop Module/Camera Calibration/Profiles - how to delete old ones

I want to deletes some unused Camera Calibratiuon Profiles but I can't find them on my HD. I asked Tech Support, but the files are not in the location they said. They said to go to: HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles. They are not there. There are only two folders there: Adobe Standard (with profiles for different camers) and Camera (for more camera profile).
Where are the profiles I created using Color Checker?

The path is correct expect you must look in the Users Library: HFS Path: Mac HD:Users:~:Library:Application Support:Adobe:CameraRaw:CameraProfiles
Worst comes to worst, do a find using the name of the profile (or .dcp extension)

Develop module, camera calibration, Fuji X Pro 1 Camera Profiles question

In Lightroom 5.3 with camera raw 8.3, for my Fuji X Pro 1 lightroom is only showing "Adobe Standard."
Is there a way to have it recognize the various shooting modes on the camera?
The initial raw preview looks awesome, but as soon as lightroom builds a preview, it goes back to the standard flat and dull image that will require tweaks.
Surely I am just overlooking something?

You’re not overlooking anything.
Adobe doesn’t recognize shooting modes of any cameras; however, for Canon, Nikon and now Olympus, Adobe supplies “Camera Match” profiles for some theoretical shooting modes, that are closer to the camera JPGs than Adobe Standard but are still just approximations. Adobe has no way of knowing exactly what other companies are doing for their raw-to-jpg conversions so it’s a bit of reverse-engineering to get what they have, now, anyway.
Fuji X-trans cameras are particularly troublesome for Adobe because of the novel camera sensor layout and I wouldn’t expect Adobe to spend even more time doing custom X-trans things unless the camera’s become a popular professional platform. Somehow I doubt that so don’t hold your breath.
You can change the Develop Defaults for your camera if you want things to be different than the initial Adobe-factory-defaults look. Experiment with applying your tweaked settings as a Develop preset during Import, first, while you perfect the new Defaults, look.
You can create your own color profiles for your camera if you’re willing to spend the $100 on a Color Checker standard color target.
Basically don’t both setting things on the camera to affect how your raws are developed in LR because they won’t translate across, except WB. Spend your time learning what to do to get LR to make things how you want them with the least effort.

Camera Calibration Profiles do not show in Develop Module LR5 / Windows 7

I have selected three specific camera profiles (Nikon D300, Nikon D700 and Canon G12) and placed them into:
c:\Users\{me}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\{Nikon D800}
I restarted Lightroom 5 and viewed a RAW photo (not jpg or tif).
But my Nikon D800 or the other two camera profiles do not show up in the Develop Module Camera Calibration drop down menu, nor in the Presets drop down in the Navigator panel.
What am I doing wrong?

It is possible to have third party software providers create profiles for your camera that simulate other camera profiles. I have had that done for my Olympus E520 and E300 cameras so that I have dozens of option available.
Yes (to a degree). You can build your own custom DNG camera profiles, that's a good first start. Then you could edit them using the free DNG Profile Editor from Adobe. I'd start with custom profiles for each camera and see if that produces an acceptable match among them.
This may help too:

ACR 3.7 not available in the Camera Calibration Profile

On a Mac G5 in the Develop module>Camera Calibration panel the only Profile that shows up is ACR 3.6. I have Camera Raw 3.7 installed in Library>Application Support>Adobe> Plug-Ins>CS2>File Formats>Camera Raw.plugin.
I have a new camera that is supported only by 3.7. Any ideas why this isn't available in the menu?

Yes. Because that only tells you WHEN your camera were profiled.
I think mine say 2.4 or something like that.
If your camera has been reprofiled you may have the option to use a older version in that menu.
For the record, LR doesn't care if you upgrade Camera Raw or not. LR is somewhat based on Camera Raw but is a completely separate app.

How to remove a camera calibration profile in LR5

Hi, I normally generate a new camera calibration profile by x-rite everythime I change the light settings. This gives rise to a lot of camera calibration profiles in LR5. How to erase them after use?

ssprengel answered the question but FWIW, you don’t have to generate a new camera calibration profile everytime the lighting changes, depending on the illuminant. The video below shows why (and when) you need to build new profiles.

Missing camera calibration profiles (Nikon P7700)

Until recently I've been able to apply a choice of camera calibration profiles (e.g. Camera Landscape, Camera Portrait etc.) in the Develop Module to images taken with my Nikon Coolpix P7700. However, these have now vanished, and I'm only left with the option of Adobe Standard. When I view photos that I previously applied the missing presets to, I see the old preset (e.g. Camera Landscape) briefly in the Camera Calibration Profile setting in the Develop Module, but then it changes to Adobe Standard.
I think what caused this change was an upgrade to OS X 10.5.8. I haven't changed LR recently, and have been using LR 4.4. It's currently using Camera Raw 7.4; I haven't updated Camera Raw separately, although it may have been updated by OS X? I've tried upgrading to LR5.2 to see if this will fix the problem, but it doesn't.
There are no profiles for the P7700 in Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/Camera/ in either ~/Library/ or /Macintosh HD/Library/.
This is very weird and annoying behaviour: LR is changing the camera calibration profiles of all my images, but without warning me!
Does anyone know how I can reinstall these profiles? I've searched extensively for an answer to this, but with no luck.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Thanks for that Geoff.
Apologies: I did mean upgrading the OS to 10.8.5, not 10.5.8! I wasn't sure whether ACR was affected by OS X upgrades. And I am viewing RAW files.
If LR has ACR built in, do you know whether it uses the files at Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/Camera/ or does it get the profiles from elsewhere? Something's changed the profiles LR reads on my computer, but if it's not OS X, and since it wasn't an LR upgrade that triggered the change, then I'm stumped as to what's caused this!
If LR does use profiles at the directory above, then presumably installing new profiles there (in ~/Library/) will override the built-in ACR files?
Thanks for your help.

Color artifacts with A7s and A6000 files using Camera calibration profiles

I'm seeing some really obvious chroma artifacts / false colors with RAW files from either a Sony A7s or A6000 when using any of the Adobe-provided Camera calibration profiles that emulate Sony's rendering.
This seems to happen at any ISO, and is very frequent.
If I use the Adobe Standard calibration profile then things look normal, but that's might just be because it produces rather desaturated images compared to the "sony" profiles.
Prior to those Sony cameras I was using Nikon DSLRs for which I had somewhat similar issues when using the first version of the Nikon camera profiles.
Those issues got fixed when Adobe released the "v4" camera profiles.
Below are some examples without any adjustment, the only difference is the choice of camera calibration profile:
Camera Landscape:
Adobe Standard:
Camera Standard:
Adobe Standard:
Camera Landscape:
Adobe Standard:

The legacy ACR X.x profiles are no more produced nor included for newer cameras (AFAIK, since ACR 5.1/LR 2.1). The Adobe Standard is the new default starting point for these.
While I am at it....are the Canon camera profiles I downloaded for the 1Ds MKII the same as for the 5D MKII or do I have to download different one...I suspect they are the same or Lightroom wouldn't offer them to me...is that correct?
The profiles are different for each camera model, even if they share the same name in the Calibration panel. If you can see them when developing 5DII files, it means the camera-specific profiles are installed for your particular camera model (otherwise, you wouldn't see them).

Where do I put Camera Calibration Profiles?

Running LR 4.2 64-bit on Windows 7 64-bit. I"m shooting with a Nikon D300.
When I look at an image, in Develop, I have a set of choices for "profiles". These include Embedded, ACR4.3, ACR 4.4, Adobe Standard, Camera D2X mode 1,2,3, Camera Landscape, Camera Standard,
Camera Vivid, and so on..............
Before I go wasting everyone's time with questions about additional profiles, is there any advantage to downloading D300 profiles from the Internet? Are they different/better than the standard ones I've listed above?
Presumig I SHOULD get additional profiles, I downloaded (among others) Matt K's "matts_nikon_profiles.zip", profiles. When expanded, these become a set of .lrtemplate files. Are these camera calibration profiles or something else? In the "Adobe Standard" folder, the files are all .dcp extension.
Anyhow, at this point I'm not even sure I've got what I'm supposed to have, so can y'all recommend a source for additional profiles (again, if there's any advantage to having them), AND tell me EXACTLY where to put the files? So far, in my rummaging, I've found references to putting them in
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.2\Resources\CameraProfiles
and so far, nothing seems to get seen when I put them in either place...

Everyone has an app-data folder.
The camera profiles folder in resources directory of program files is for built-in profiles only - do not store custom profiles there, otherwise next time Lr is installed, they'll all go "poof".
Here is one easy way to find your app-data folder, and therefore the correct place to store your camera profiles:
Run the 'Camera Raw - Shared Folders' script in this free download I wrote:
http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrScripts
You will be shown a directory, and in that directory is a folder named 'CameraProfiles' - that's where you want to put them (actually, in a subfolder of that named after your camera model - if problems do share..).

Camera Calibration Profiles

Does anyone know of a plug in for Aperature to calibrate the colour profile of a camera? I have seen a process used in Lightroom with an xrite ColorPassport and software to create a colour profile to apply across a set of images to correct to a calibrated image set. Looking for an equivalent process in Aperature.

Frank Caggiano wrote:
The section after explaining that if you shoot RAW you don't need to do this does explain how to profile a camera.
Yes, though, that explanation is for using that color profile in the camera ... which Aperture is likely to ignore the profile once the image is imported and apply the canned one-size-fits-all profile that Aperture uses in the background.
What the OP is referring to, in Lightroom/ACR you have the ability to apply several canned camera calibration profiles, as well as any user created profiles. Using these profiles can fine-tune color rendition before any other adjustments are applied ... in other words it eliminates the need for processing presets for a more user preferred starting point which allows all sliders to remain at their default points ... as a bonus, profiles can be created to match color across multiple camera bodies including different models ... and even different brands ... once created they can be applied as default upon import based upon camera serial number and/or ISO as desired ...
While I much prefer Aperture ... I do find the ability to create a color rendition starting point of my own choosing quite a nice feature ... if Aperture is to be considered a "professional" app ... Apple should strongly consider adding the feature in the next iteration ... whenever that will be ...

Camera Calibration Profiles - Help...?

I downloaded LR 2.0, then downloaded the beta camera profiles and the DNG Profile Editor. I ran the installers, then started LR. But the only Camera Calibration Profile available is "Embedded".
What am I missing here.....

They only work on raw files, not developed images.

Lightroom 4.3 doesn't show my Camera Calibration Profile.

I have Lightroom 4.3 and a Canon 6D. I cannot get Lightroom to display my Camera Calibration Profile when I am developing a raw file.
I have dug through the MAC Library and Application Support folder and found CameraRaw. That folder contains my listed cameras. But when I am in Lightroom, I do not see that profile in the Camera Calibration section.
Is there a way to force Lightroom to display my camera profile? Lightroom 2 used to display it.

If the screen shot you posted is what you see in the Lightroom Camera Calibration panel, then they are the profiles that are specific to your camera model.
Thats just the way they are named. You will not see profiles that are specific to other cameras.

Missing Camera Calibration Profiles in Lightroom Creative Cloud

I am missing the ADOBE SUPPLIED Nikon D700 and Olympus OM-D E-M5 camera calibration profiles in Lightroom. They were there until I had to reload the apps from CC. I looked in the forums already and haven't found any answer. I have tried to get support from Adobe through Chat and the person there had no clue what I was asking.
I found this answer on a similar question but it does not explain why the Adobe-supplied profiles are missing. To be clear, I am not talking about custom profiles.
"If you are asking about Adobe-supplied profiles, they will be installed every time you update the software so there’s no need to copy them, anywhere, and the reason for not seeing them would be that the current photo is not a raw file since most profiles are only for raw not jpg."
Can anyone help me out? Thank you.

There is no uninstaller. Just drag the app to the trash and reinstall it from the CC app. That should fix your issue. If you want to know, on Mac OS X and starting with LR 4, the profiles are installed in the app wrapper inside the Applications folder for some reason so they are hard to find. you control click on the app, select "Show package contents" and navigate to Resources > Camera Profiles

Can't get any camera calibration profiles to show up

I am using lightroom 5 on a windows 8 pc and can not get any camera calibration profiles to show up. I have 14 profiles for my Sony SLT-A65 in my cameraprofiles folder and a corresponding camera folder with also has these profiles. I have checked all file attributes and the only thing I see differrent from some other camera profiles is the file ownership is adminisrator instead of system. Also Photoshop does not see any camera calibration profiles either. I have done a lightroom installation repair from original disk which didn't fix. I have all my lens profiles which work fine. I have tried renaming profiles from SLT-A65V to SLT-A65 to match what shows up on displayed file information. Can't think of anything else. Can anyone help??

I have since corrected this issue. I downloaded adobe DNG profile editor and loaded the camera profiles I had and then saved them. At this point all of them showed up in Photoshop and Lightroom. Don't know what the difference was but they are seen now by my programs.
Thanks for the reply

Camera Calibration profiles for Leica M 240

Hi Forum
I'm using LR to process DNG files from Leica M 240.
I understand LR has some extra profiles ( "Camera Faithful, Camera Portrait, etc" ) for some Canon and Nikon camera models.
As under "Camera Calibration -> Profile" I can only see "Embedded" or "Adobe Standard", does it mean these extra profiles don't exist for Leica M 240 ?
Thank you all for any clarification.

Embedded is what you will always see on JPEG images. Adobe standard is the one you will see on your raw images. If you want additional profiles you will have to download the DNG profile creator and make your own. If Adobe standard is all you have then that is all Adobe is providing for your camera.

Camera calibration profiles doesn't read by LR above v4.2

Hello!
I have some custom camera calibration profiles for my camera installed in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/Camera/Camera-name
Everything works fine in LR 4.0-4.2 but this profiles missing in 4.3 and above. Placing profiles into LR.app/Contents/*/*/* didnt help too.
So what is wrong with LR?
4.2
4.3-4.4

Which location are you speaking of?
MacHardDrive /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/Camera/Camera-name
or
Users/User Name//Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/Camera/Camera-name
As a test, if you copy one of the missing profiles to the other location does it then show up?
