DNG Profile Editor (& new camera profiles)

Anybody who thinks Camera Raw can't pretty much nail the colors of the camera makers colors should check out http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles
You'll need Camera Raw 4.5 or Lightroom 2.0 to use the profiles...

My Canon ones are ok (1Ds MKIII/1DMKIII/5D), but the Nikon ones are all overexposed....? Shot with Matrix in Av mode.
ACR and DNG assign a baseline exposure of +0.5 EV to Nikon D3 raw files, and I think does the same with the D300 and D700. This causes the image to appear over exposed when rendered in ACR. Many Nikon users use a default negative exposure correction of -0.5 EV in ACR to negate this baseline exposure. See the DNG specification for a description of the baseline exposure offset.
I don't know how this affects the new calibration procedure.

  • 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!

  • 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

    Ah, indeed. Thanks R.

  • 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.

  • Pscs 4 adding new camera profiles

    adobe customer support doesn't support ps4 or bridge so when i bought a new camera i can't use bridge v3.0.0. and ps 4 v 11.02 to open and work on photos, running OSX 10.4.11 on a dual core macbook pro.when i tried to update camera raw v5 to v5.6 i got an error message then updater detected a new version than v5.6 yet i can't find it using spotlight nor lookin gthru hds.
    so without any direction i drug & droped the G12 profiles into Lib>ap spport>adobe>camera raw>camera profiles>camera with shows the profiles but ps & bridge isn't able to acess them.
    the question is how do i download the new canon G 12 camera profiles in computer so bridge & PS can edit files or do i just give up?
    thank you
    jene

    G12 isn't supported directly in CS4/ACR5.x.
    You need to use DNG to get support for that camera in CS4:

  • 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.

  • Latest Update: New Camera Profiles for the D700 (Version 4)

    I see with the latest update of Lightroom brought with it version 4 of the camera profiles.  I've dabbled with using several of them, especially the Camera Portrait.  I have versions that consist of for example:
    Camera Portrait
    Camera Portrait beta 2
    Camera Portrait v3
    Camera Portrait v4
    Of course, the previous versions can be left as is however the list I have now is quite long and wanted to know if I would be missing out if I were to discard/delete previous versions and just keep the v4's.
    I realize this is personal preference however are the newest versions (version 4) for Camera D2X, Camera Landsape, Camera Neutral, Camera Portrait, Camera Standard and Camera Vivid for the D700 all one needs for the average Lightroom user?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you all for giving me your advice.  Like kbkbn said, the older versions don't do anything by being there and you never know if you want to use one of them in the future.  I will start using the version 4 profiles and compare them more to the older versions.  Thanks again.
    Are there any other worthwhile sources of profiles?  I do have a few I created myself with my Color Checker Passport for specific shooting locations in my yard for specific times of days.
    Thanks again.

  • Move user profile to new domain profile on same computer

    If you want to copy data and most of the preferences, I suggest Fab's AutoBackup 6 Pro.

    Hello all
    I've been given the tedious task of replacing a server with a new one using a different domain, then rejoining all of the desktops to the new domain.
    There won't be any kind of migration, just rejoining desktops to new domain.
    Has anyone got any recommendations on what would be the best way to transfer the desktops user profiles from the old domain profile to the new domain profile?
    Any advice would be appreciated.

  • 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.

  • TBird renames my old profile to new 2nd profile name????

    I added a new email account to TBird and TBird renamed my existing email account to the new email name. Now I have 2 different email accounts with the same name when I open TBIrd. How can I fix this?
    Thanx, squibt

    Like I said "email account" not profile...I had an existing email account in TBird I used every day. I recently added another email account with my ISP and added this new email account to TBird under my existing profile so I could received emails from 2 different email accounts under one profile. The email accounts had the same mail servers but 2 totally different names .. like "MyEmail" and "JaksonsMail", the new account.... TBird renamed JaksonsMail to MyEmail also so I had 2 MyEmails....I deleted the new one and re-installed it giving it a different email server name from the same ISP (should not matter what server) and the same thing happened.....no way I can figure out how to rename the email account back to JaksonsMail....

  • 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.

    Hi fellas, recently I downloaded some camera profiles for my Nikon D7000 and Sony RX100MII and added to CameraProfiles folder which can be found under Application Support folder on my mac. However when I open my lightroom and go to Lens Correction those camera profiles would not show up in the option at all. I shoot with RAW, so I don't think format is the root of the issue here. This is my first time trying adding Camera Profiles so I might be making some very fundamental mistakes. I would appreciate any kind of advices, thank you very much.

  • Camera Calibration in ACR & DNG Profile Editor

    I am having the hardest time figuring out how to use the camera profiles  generated with DNG Profile Editor in Camera Raw.
    I am using Photoshop CS4 in Windows 7. I have generated the .dcp file  with DNG Profile Editor and saved it in the folder: Program  Files/Adobe/Photoshop CS4/Presets/Camera Profiles.
    This is about as far as I've gotten. I have not been able use this  profile in ACR under the Camera Calibration Tab. I have been lead to  believe that is would show up automatically. I have not found any video  tutorials related to ACR and installing Camera Profiles. They all seem  to relate to Lightroom.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you would like to look or copy profiles manually (for example you have received a profile made by someone else; for Windows7 you should be able to see where the Profiles are stored by searching for *.dcp (meaning any file with the extension .dcp)
    That will show you where the Adobe supplied profiles are located. You can copy your custom profiles to the sub-folder of your camera type in the Camera folder.The other folder you see is where the Adobe Standard profiles live.
    If you cannot see the programdata folder (and that is the case by default) you can make all hidden files visible:
    (this from Windows Help, just search for show hidden files)
    Computer>Organize>Folder and search options>View. In Advanced settings check the radio button Show hidden files, folders, and drives and then OK
    Now you should see the programdata folder visible under your system (C:) folder
    I hope that helps.

  • 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.
