Do I Need the lens and camera profiles?

I have been using Photoshop Elements for lots of years (currently on PSE 12).  Today I discovered over 400MB of Adobe lens (LCP) and camera (DCP) profiles.  It appears that the files have been on my system for many years.  None appear to be for any cameras I have.
Do I need these for PSE?  Can I just delete them?
-- Larry
PS:  I know they are not causing any problems but I kind of like to keep things clean.  There are over 2300 such files.

Those are installed with photoshop elements and updated when you update the camera raw plugin and also are used by the adobe dng converter, so leave them and do not delete them.
If in the camera raw dialog you go to the Camera Calibration tab and look at the Camera Profile, those are part of the above files your asking about.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Your music and movies should still be part of the iTunes library on your computer. See if your movies are listed in "movies" in the left window in iTunes.
    Photos you took with the phone are part of the last backup, if you did not sync after that. If you did, the data got overwritten.
    See what else is inside the backup and how to restore from it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

    DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.

    A 15" mid-2009 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    As has been pointed out, OWC is an excellent source for Mac compatible RAM.  Crucial is another first rate source for Mac RAM.  RAM from either vendor will work just as well as any purchased from Apple with the bonus of being less expensive and having a lifetime guarantee.

  • HT4623 how do i restore the safari and camera icons?

    how do i restore the safari and camera icons?

    Another thing that can happen is they get lumped together (or with other apps) by accidental screen touching. Mine ended up together in a folder called 'photography'. I just held my finger on it until they were wobbly, and dragged them out to the desktop.

    You're asking someone to make an illegal copy of a Microsoft/Lenovo CD. That's also against forum rules.

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    You must have a slower connection if it took 2.5 hours, did you pause it or exit out to the main screen? I've paused movies many times and it resumes..it could be due to the connection as well  so what is your actual speed? Check www.speedtest.net Wifi or ethernet? Have you changed the DNS settings?

  • Need the complete and correct way to reset Safari 5.1

    Need the complete and correct way to reset Safari 5.1 the reason being is that 1. Even with the fix for .pdf's opening in Sarfai, they still don't and I have local copy of a html file that I use to access my most frequent sites and it refuses to open when Safari loads.
    I need to know what to save so that I can reinstall it after the reset. I don't want to lose my cookies and passwords that I have saved.

    Well I went back to one of my old discussions from a few months ago and found the right way to reset Safari but also dicovered that the file that my other older Mac had the same problem with, were I could'nt load a .pdf file into Safari as well as play video files, like the one that Apple posted of the Stve Job's tribute yesterday.QuickTime would'nt load so this morning  got my act together and took each file that I thought might be corrupt out till I found the one that was, having to restart Safari and shut it down.
    the file in the
    Home/Library/Preferences>com.apple.Safari.plist was the culprit. I am now trying to find a way to see how one can tell if this file is corrupt before backing it up, since "plists" are not a file to mess with.
    I hate resetting Safari since it destroys a bunch of files that one builds up over a long period of time, and hate to destroy all that work just because of one file. Hopefully if someone reads this they can find a way of having Safari back it up on a on going basis but making sure it is'nt corrupt in the process.

  • Lightroom 2 and Camera Profiles for the Nikon D50

    Hi,
    I've installed Lightroom v2 and the new Camera Profiles, as per the instructions and various postings I should now see my camera name appear in the Profile section of Camera Calibration.
    The default profile is ACR 4.4 and when I drop the list down I see the usual settings and Camera D2X Mode 1 Beta 1, Mode 2, etc. but no reference to Nikon D50?
    The Metadata on my images is set to a Make of NIKON CORPORATION and a Model of NIKON D50.
    Looking in C:\programdata\adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\ I can see there is a D50 profile but Lightroom v2 isn't showing it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Lightroom not reading correct data for Lens and Camera Serial Number

    Hi you all.
    Recently got Lightroom, and I'm so impressed - I never imagined image organizing and adjustment could be this easy and at the same time very advanced.
    I have a problem, however. Lightroom (and Adobe Bridge, too) does not correctly read the EXIF data of Lens type and Camera Serial Number.
    The first ~50 images I took and imported turned out correctly and displayed my serial number and lens (18-55 mm Canon) inside Lightroom.
    But now, whenever I import photos into Lightroom or view them with Bridge, they all display "Unknown Lens" and "Unknown Camera Serial Number".
    At first I thought that maybe the camera didn't correctly record this data on to the photos anymore for some reason, but a comparison using EXIFToolGUI shows that the metadata is EXACTLY the same as in the photos that display this info in Lightroom correctly.
    I have not done any changes to either my camera (Canon EOS-350D / Digitial Rebel XT) or lens (the kit lens, 18-55 mm Canon).
    It seems that for some reason, Lightroom has stopped reading these two fields of metadata - all the other fields, such as aperture and shutter speed, all display correctly.
    I also tried to reimport the photos into Lightroom, but it didn't help. Neither did "Synchronize Folder" -> "Scan for metadata updates".
    What should I do? I'd like my lens information do display correctly, as I'll buy a new lens soon.
    I have attached one of the photos that Lightroom doesn't read the data correctly from. Try importing it into your Lightroom, and see if how the info displays.
    Thanks in advance.

    Are these jpgs or RAW?  I have only edited metadata on jpgs.
    It looks like Vista's import stripped out all the makernotes.  I didn't look at your file but that seems to be what happened.  Be warned, Photoshop CS2 also strips out makernotes!
    Now how to fix the problem.  If you want to edit the metadata on files already loaded into LR, you need to write out your metadata to the files first, then edit the metadata, then read the new metadata into LR.  This is scarey for me, so I always make sure my backup is up to date on the images first.
    What to do...  You probably can't put back all of the makernotes, so what to do to get the lens information in.  I don't know if putting back in the makernote LensType would trigger LR to reconsider its lens information.  I don't know.  If it had a real lens name, my guess would be no because it would have an XMP::Lens field which would override.  But maybe unknown lens doesn't have this field and it would re-read the makernotes.
    The other solution is to forget about makernotes for these images and put the exact text you want into XMP::Lens.  I think that's the "easy" way.
    In either case, you will have to become familiar with exiftoolGUI or exiftool itself.  I use the command line exiftool but it looks like you can edit multiple files with exiftoolGUI.  Select your files, click the edit thingy (^) under XMP, choose various, and there is lens.  Put in the text you want.
    I would do this with one file first.  If the lens shows up after you read the new metadata into LR, you know you have it right.
    Note, exiftool can write backup files for each file.  This makes too much of a mess for me.  I prefer to copy the directory first (I have copies anyway, I just have to make sure the backups are up to date).
    Good luck!  I'm struggling with a similar situation where the same lens used by two different cameras is coming out with a different name.  I need to go back and "fix" the names in the images already imported, and then develop my procedure for setting a single unique name before I load new images into LR.  Not too much of a problem because I'm loading in GPS information anyway...  What's another call to exiftool...

  • Lightroom 4.3 Update and Camera Profiles.

    Hello there!
    First let me start by mentioning that im running Lightroom on a Mac OS X (10.8.2).
    I was running v4.2 for a while until the v4.3 update came out about a week and a half ago.
    I updated to v4.3 and everything was working fine until I noticed something today.
    Im having problems with Camera Profiles. I do run the latest 2012 process.
    The problem to be exact is when I open catalogs that were made with v4.2
    I scroll down to Camera Profiles and here is what i get.
    I have presets that automatically correspond to the "film" profiles below.
    But ever since the upgrade it automatically goes to ACR 4.6 instead of the "film" profile.
    I know for a fact that with v4.2 I only had these profiles:
    Adobe Standard
    Camera Landscape
    Camera Neutral
    Camera Portrait
    Camera Standard
    Camera Vivid
    with the addition of the "film" profiles.
    After updating, thats what I get when opening v4.2 catalogs.
    Heres the weird part.
    When i create a v4.3 catalog, all of those Camera Profiles disappear.
    leaving only these:
    Adobe Standard
    Camera Landscape
    Camera Neutral
    Camera Portrait
    Camera Standard
    Camera Vivid
    and nothing else.
    When I looked at the Camera Profile folder, the ones I added are there but doesnt show up in Lightroom.
    Mac HD > Library > Application Support > Adobe > CameraRaw > CameraProfiles
    Is this a bug or is there a fix for this? Does v4.3 read Camera Profiles from another location?
    If so please help!

    I would suggest a two-step process:
    1) The problem could be due to a corrupt Preference File. This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
    Re-installing Lr, or upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to stay intact during upgrades.
    See here for where to find the Preference file for your OS: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m-4.html
    See here for how to go about Replacing the Preference File: http://lightroomers.com/replacing-the-lightroom-preference-file/745/
    2) If that does not help: Un-install Lr and delete the downloaded Lr 4.3 file. The file might have become damaged during download.
    Then download it again and install.
