Lightroom 3 DNG profiles for K5

I tried to find DNG profiles for my new K5 on the net, but I failed. Are there any available or do I have to wait for the next Lightroom update?
Up to now I can only choose "embedded".

There you are then...no calibration available for un supported formats. If the camera shoots natively in DNG you will get all the benefits of RAW except for the calibration as none will be available until Adobe builds some. Therefore I assume LR is using the camera embedded sRGB or Adobe RGB space used for the jpg. The great advantage of native DNG is that at least LR will read it even before the camera is formally supported, however until the camera is fully supported some things such as calibration and I assume lens calibration won't be available.
You could also rewrite the camera name tag in the RAW files (using ExifEditor or similar) to a Pentax camera supported by Adobe and then you will be able to use the calibrations built for those cameras, not a perfect solution but always worth a try, just make sure you keep copies of the unchanged files.
Hopefully the K5 will be supported in LR 3.3 otherwise you will have to wait until LR 3.4 for full support.

When will Lightroom have a profile for the Parrot Bebop Drone for lens correction?

Just wondering if and when Lightroom will add a lens correction profile for the Parrot Bebop Drone.

The Parrot Bebop Drone camera and lens is not likely to be supported by Adobe.
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html
It appears to use a fisheye lens and in-camera processing or provided software to rectilinear "correct" the image. What specifically are you trying to correct with the LR Lens Profile tool? This will help us provide other suggestions to accomplish your objectives.

Capture nx 2 sharpening and DNG profiles..

I recently have had an (albeit quick) fiddle with nx 2 and was wondering if anyone else had noticed what I have...
1. The sharpening in NX2 seems to yeild much nicer details and less "criss cross" artefacts.
2. The DNG profile for nikon (in my case D3) vivid does match pretty well, but has a purple tinge to it that is horribly exaggerated if you start to process the image at all. The NX rendering seems a lot more natural, or less forced.
Any advice appreciated. I would love to stay in Lightroom for everything, but looking at the files I may not.
Thanks.

ok, a little more playing and the colour noise reduction seems to play a very big part in the "poseriztion" sharpness that Lightroom is producing. If I set it to off or set lower than default (say to 10) it does help level the playing field a lot more with regards to the sharpening.

DNG profile management

Is it possible to create and use a shoot-specific custom DNG profile to process a set of images for a given shoot, and then archive that DNG profile for safekeeping but removed from view of Lightroom's Camera Calibration panel, without compromising Lightroom's ability to still work with that shoot's images - say, to make further develop refinements, virtual copy variations, prints, etc.?
Asked slightly differently, when in Lightroom's Camera Calibration panel you select a specific DNG profile to apply to a given raw image, does the profile data from within that DNG profile become image-specific metadata of the target image and get stored along with the rest of the image-specific metadata in the Lightroom catalog itself (and subsequently in the DNG raw image file when I save the Lightroom data to that image file)? Or, instead, is only the IDENTITY of the selected DNG profile saved as image-specific metadata, with the DNG profile itself needing to remain "installed" in order to carry out any future Lightroom work on that raw image?
Using the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport in conjunction with Lightroom, it is quite easy to imagine creating custom DNG profiles specific to a given shoot's unique lighting conditions. Creating DNG profiles specific to a given shoot, the collection of shoot-specific DNG profiles for a given camera body could grow to be quite large over time, making it tedious to wade through that collection in Lightroom's Camera Calibration panel to select the particular profile for the shoot being processed. X-Rite makes the "DNG Profile Manager" available to registered users of the ColorChecker Passport to assist with this very problem. It's great that this utility allows us to "Disable" DNG profiles, allowing us to keep our Lightroom Camera Calibration "Profile" menu manageable. But, if you use the X-Rite DNG Profile Manager to do this, does "disabling" a given DNG profile interfere with any further work in Lightroom on images for which that given DNG profile has ALREADY been applied?
PLEASE do not speculate on this response. If you do not know for certain, please allow someone who does (an Adobe engineer, perhaps?) to enlighten us.
Thanks in advance,
/eddie

Thank you to those who have offered responses.
Please do not get confused. As the most recent response clarifies, this is not about storing profiles within original raw files, or the differences between DNG files and original raw files. In fact, at it essence, my real concern is not even about DNG files at all, really, although it includes them by association.
My original question can really be answered in consideration of Lightroom alone: When a custom DNG profile is selected for an image by using the Camera Calibration panel of Lightroom's Develop module, does Lightroom itself internalize that DNG profile selection by recording into the Lightroom metadata database only the IDENTITY of that DNG profile assignment, or the actual DNG profile data contained within that DNG profile? If Lightroom records into the Lightroom database only the identity of the assigned DNG profile, then Lightroom would of course need to go back into that DNG profile later for the actual DNG profile data in order to do any subsequent development processing of the image for which that DNG profile was assigned. If, however, selection of a DNG profile using the Camera Calibration panel of Lightroom's Develop module causes Lightroom to record into the Lightroom database the actual DNG profile data contained within the selected DNG profile, then Lightroom would have no need to go back into that DNG profile later for the profile data, and the DNG profile itself could be safely "un-installed" ("Disabled" by the X-Rite DNG Profile Manager) without adversely affecting Lightroom's ability to properly process that image using the selected DNG profile's information. DNG image files themselves are not even really involved in determining the answer at this level.
The interplay with the associated raw image's DNG image file occurs when Lightroom-maintained metadata for the image is saved out into the DNG image file itself, either automatically or manually, and, yes, I was being very specific to discuss DNG raw image files in that context. I understand from the response provided by "ssprengel" that saving the actual DNG profile data out into the associated DNG image file only happens when using "Update DNG Metadata & Preview" and does not happen through the more common routes of automatically or manually saving image metadata back to the DNG image file. Why this more robust ("complete"?) level of image metadata preservation out to the DNG image file only occurs through a more obscure mechanism is a mystery to me, but that is not the topic of this discussion.
So, my real question really still remains. Combining the ideas from both of the paragraphs above, if Lightroom only saves DNG profile data out to the associated DNG image file using this more obscure mechanism, then does that mean that Lightroom does not normally retain the DNG profile data within the Lightroom database at all -- that it really only retains the identity of the selected DNG profile, and that only when this obscure mechanism is explicitly invoked does Lightroom deem it appropriate to actually read the profile data out of the selected DNG profile and pass that profile data along to the associated DNG image file, and that even then Lightroom itself does not retain that profile data internally? If this is the case, then the DNG profile cannot be "Disabled" without adversely affecting normal Lightroom processing of the associated image [by "adversely", I mean without having Lightroom revert to the Adobe Standard profile or any other unintended side effects]. However, if Lightroom actually does retain this profile data internally upon original DNG profile selection, even if it doesn't bother to save it to the associated DNG image file except through the use of the obscure function, then it would be safe to "Disable" the DNG profile after initial profile selection and not interfere with Lightroom's normal ability to process the associated image using that profile.
Taking the obscure function awareness into account, I guess this now has the possibility of making this subject much more complex. If Lightroom does not store DNG profile data within the Lightroom database (which would require continued availability of the DNG profile for processing associated images), BUT Lightroom provides this obscure mechanism for "forcing" save of assigned DNG profile data out to the associated DNG image file, then what happens when the DNG profile is "Disabled" and Lightroom goes to process that image? Does it look into the associated DNG image file to determine if actual DNG profile data has been saved there and go ahead and use it if it exists? Or does Lightroom ignore DNG profile data saved to a DNG image file in all contexts, and unconditionally always require the assigned DNG profile to remain available in order to carry out normal Lightroom development or rendering processing of the associated image?
This is admittedly a lot of words to discuss a simple desire: I want to shoot with shoot-specific DNG profiles, assign them to the shoot's images and develop them, and then archive off ("Disable") the DNG profiles from that shoot so that my Camera Calibration "Profile" listbox does not become unmanageable. Period. If I absolutely must go back and re-Enable a specific DNG profile later to make a print of one of those images a year from now, then I guess that's what I have to do, but that seems a real shame when all other image-assigned "edits" store those "edits" as image-specific metadata, and profile assignment is just another "edit" (although saving the profile data, rather than just the profile identity, may not be included in this "edit"). Whatever works out to be the simplest, most straightforward course to accomplish my objective is what I need to do. Ideally, that would be painless if Lightroom records into the Lightroom database the actual DNG profile data when the profile is assigned to an image using the Camera Calibration panel's Profile selector.

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!
S

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.

DNG Profile Embedding

How do I embed a profile into a DNG file?
I find my self making one-off DNG profiles for a particular lighting setup. I would like to embed the profile in a few files and then throw it away. The tools I'm using (Adobe Profile Editor and XRite ColorChecker) install the profiles on my system, but then:
a) they clutter up Lightroom's calibration menu with profiles I'll never use again
b) the DNG's are not portable - if I move them to another machine I've got to worry about bringing the profiles along as well.
Are there any tools or procedures available to do this?
Thanks,
TJ

Yeah - what about that? eh??
Can I assume it isn't possible since nobody replied, or should I assume nothing?
Peace/Out,
Rob

Printer Profiles for Epson R260

I need to download UCC Printer Profiles for my Epson 260.
But the website doesn't list any.
It does show profiles for the R2200.
Where are they?

Geoff & Jao,
Evidently Epson does not generate ICC Profiles for the R260, just for the high-end printers like the R2200.
The Epson R260 driver has selections for all kinds of papers and different levels of preset quality and manual settings.
I have tested a lot of them.
Using Lightroom and Printer-managed color, all pictures are dull and lack-luster.
However, Lightroom has a profile for the R260 series; and with Epson driver set for ICC, pictures are good as PSE5 using ColorMatch RGB and Qimage with Epson drivers. I am using plain Photo Glossy paper and I don't know how the Lightroom profile knows which paper I'm using.
I searched in my PC for /Library/Colorsync/Profile and didn't find it. Do you know where it is in a PC?
Jao says to turn off color management in the driver. OFF seems to be bad; choosing ICC seems to be good.

DNG profile with Fuji X100s raw files...

Hi,
I'm trying to make a dng profile for my Fuji X100s (I did the same recently for my Canon 5dII).
Because I shoot architecture and interiors, I profiled for daylight, tungsten, and flourescent light (I also did this for the Canon with success, much improved color, sepecially in fllourescent light).
With the Fuji x100s, the daylight profile was good, the tungsten seemed very desaturated, and the profiler kept giving me an error message for the flourescent light saying there was an extreme color cast on the grey patch and it couldn't create a profile (I tried 2850, 6500, and "both tables"). The grey patch on the flourescent card was reading (aprox) 3200K and +50 Magenta, so not off the charts, so to speak....
Why is this? Is it to do with the type of sensor in the camera (Xtrans CMOS)?
Thanks,
Alan.

JPGs are relatively small, and raw files relatively big, so if there is an issue writing data to the card where it corrupts after a certain amount is written, then the raw file could be the only file with enough data written to it thing that is corrupt. If every single raw file is corrupted the same way and none of the JPGs seem to be then it may be something else related to raw files on the computer, like the computer memory, or the drive that the camera-raw cache is on, or even a virus-scanner locking a file at the wrong time when it is written or read. The other thing to watch is that the raw files have an embedded JPG preview in them that may be ok, as well, and only when LR interprets the raw data will the corruption be visible. The embedded JPG preview is what you see in the Import panel grid and is also what you see momentarily just after you’ve imported, before LR has a chance to recompute a preview from the raw data.
To see both raw and jpgs in LR then you need enable the LR preference to treat raw and jpg files separately, for future imports so what you’ve already imported will stay the same, until you do a Synchronize on the folder Once you enable that preference then you can synchronize the folder to have LR reimport just the new (newly visible) JPGs.
The most important initial test to do is transfer the same set of files from the card to the computer more than once—you’ll have to disable the duplicate checking temporarily—and check if they have precisely the same corruption in each copy of the image or if it looks different. If it is the same then the data is likely bad on the card. If it is different, then the photos may be ok on the card and something in the transfer process or the computer, itself, may be bad, and there is hope you can mitigate the problem and get the uncorrupted raw data, somehow.

Colin, please keep the following in mind:
1. According to my email logs, I have only ever received a single email
from you -- assuming your email address begins with huelight@... . Please do
not assume that simply because you may have written emails "on a number of
occasions" and even perhaps pressed the Send button on those occasions, that
they necessarily reached my inbox. I am not blaming you for mistakes, but
rather asking that you do not accuse of being rude for not replying to
emails that I have not received.
2. The single email that I __have__ received from you was on Wednesday,
August 19 at 8:35 EST -- less than one day ago. Due to the volume of email
that I receive, I cannot guarantee replies to all my personal email in less
than 24 hours. Presumably, you have also had the experience of letting some
emails sit in your inbox without an immediate reply.
3. The DNG Profile Editor is a free tool provided by Adobe to the community
on an as-is basis. I think it is great that you are using it and encourage
you to do so. However, there is no official support for the DNG Profile
Editor. I do answer questions sent to my personal email address regarding
the DNG Profile Editor and related topics, but please realize that I do so
on my own time, not Adobe's time, and there are only so many questions I can
answer in one day.
Eric
Please have the courtesy to reply to the emails I have sent to you, I have on
a number of occasions mailed you for help with regard to your DNG editor and
getting the best from it and have had no reply.
As someone that spends his free time trying to improve the output from ACR,
and providing this free of charge to the community, is it to much to ask for
some guidance?
I expected more from Adobe....

Where should I save the camera calibration profile for Lightroom 2?

I created some DNG Camera Profiles by DNG Profile Editor. For Camera Calibration in Camera Raw, I save those .dcp files in C:\ Administrator\ Documents and Settings\ Application Data\ Adobe\ Camera Raw \ CameraProfiles. However, I could't find such a subfolder in Lightroom folder, does any one know where should I save the dcp files for Lightroom 2? Thank you

It's the same install folder for both Camera Raw and Lightroom (i.e., a .dcp installed in the folder you described will be readable by both CR and LR).

Looking for lightroom lens profile for tamron lens

I am using lightroom 5 at work and shot some images with a canon 5d2 body with tamron 24-70 2.8 vc and tamron 70-200 2.8 vc lense. According to the note below, both lens are supported since lightroom 4.1. However I can not find the profile of these two lens on lightroom 5. Does anyone how I can bring the profile back in? Thanks.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html

The ProgramData folders are for Photoshop and are probably as old as the newest version of PS or DNG Converter you have.
The lens profiles for Lightroom 4 and 5 are under LR's Resources subfolder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom x.x\Resources\LensProfiles\1.0\
(x.x = whatever version of LR you have)
For my LR 4.4 I have the following 16 subfolders under LensProfiles\1.0:
Apple
Canon
Fujifilm
Hasselblad
Leica
Mamiya
Nikon
Pentax
Phase One
Samsung
Schneider
Sigma
Sony
Tamron
Tokina
Zeiss
LR 5.3 adds DJI and GoPro as manufacturers for a total of 18 subfolders.

Is there a lens profile for Canon EF100-400mm/4.5-5.6L IS II USM for Lightroom 5 ?

I have Lightroom 5.7 and Camera RAW 8.8 (Via DNG converter 8.8) in Mac OS X 10.10.2.
According to Adobe documentation there lens profile for EF100-400mm/4.5-5.6L IS II USM should be provided by Camera Raw8.8.
However, I cannot not find lens profile correction for this lens from Lightroom 5.7. Does anyone know howto enable lens profile for this lens ?

Thanks, this workaround works:
I copied appropriate lens profile from (the .lcp file)
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0
to:
/Users/<my username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles

New DNG profiles not appearing in Lightroom

DNG profiles created with QPcalibration and Colorchecker Passport are not appearing in the Lightroom profile pulldown menu since I upgraded to Photoshop CC. HELP!

I have CC and new color profile are installed correctly for me, still.
What folder are the profiles being saved to? Are you viewing JPGs or RAWs?
On Windows 7/8 the profiles should be stored in a folder like:
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles or %APPDATA%\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles

How to use DNG profiles without buying Lightroom/Photoshop?

I bought a ColorChecker Passport. All I want to achieve is accurate color reproduction and white balancing. I don't need Photoshop or Lightroom. Is there a cheaper solution to apply DNG profiles to my photos?

For your edification, you may want to read this thread:

especially post #9 by Jeff Schewe:
Jeff Schewe wrote:
Actually, if you think about it, you really WOULDN'T want a DNG profile to alter the white balance of an image...that would seriously limit the usefulness of that profile. DNG profiles are designed to adjust the color and tone rendering of a given camera's spectral response. However, white balance is a shot by shot situation.
So, DNG profiles specifically DON'T take white balance into consideration. If they did, you could only use that profile for single white balance situations. The whole camera profiling issue is made far more complex than profiling a printer. You need a camera profile that allows color and tone adjustments over a broader range of light sources...compared to a printer that should remain consistent given a specific paper and printer setting.

Integrate DNG Profile Editor with Lightroom

Worthy of an official feature request, me-thinks...
Its a great tool that's under-utilized - why not integrate it with Lightroom?
Some ideas:
- Dis-associate it from the DNG file format, so it does not need an intermediate DNG file to transfer a profile to a proprietary raw. (for those of you who dont know - you need a DNG file for initial profile creation, but then Lightroom can extract it and apply it to proprietary (non-DNG) raws.
- Make options in Profile drop-down menu in Lightroom:
- Edit Profile
- New Profile
- Delete Profile
I think these ideas would be relatively easy to implement. Maybe Lr4.
Other ideas that would probably be harder to implement, but would also be worthwhile in my opinion:
- Make a color editor based on the DNG Profile Editor technology, that allows one to fine tune color without a profile and copy/paste/sync it like you can do now with HSL adjustments - including saving with presets. Maybe Lr5 or 6...
Rob

Hi, I converted a Canon CR2 from a Rebel xti (or 400d) to DNG.
Good news: I've copied the same DNG file and the same copy of DNG Profile Editor onto a computer running win vista sp2 and it works like a charm! I got the message "Canon EOS 400D 100iso_day_curve2.dcp was exported successfully". The profile was saved on a wrong folder: somewhre in the adobe tree but not in the camera profile folder (in this computer is C:\Users\Fernando\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\).
So I think it is a win xp related problem.
I've noticed another problem in both machines (xp and vista): In the "Color Tables" tab the RGB, Lab and HSL number displays only two digits. The biggest rgb shows 55, instead of 255.
Good luck
