Lightroom 4.4 beta and Camera Profiles Issue

I'm testing Lightroom 4.4 beta and noticed that my D600 RAW files don't seem to be interpreted correctly when selecting camera profiles such as Camera Neutral or Camera Standard, etc. This becomes most obvious when processing higher ISO files. The only profile that seems to come the closest is Adobe Standard. I shoot in Camera Neutral. When I view them in Lightroom 4.4 and select camera neutral, the shadow areas especially seem overexposed. I don't remember having this issue in Lightroom 4.3. Will the final Lightroom 4.4 do a better job with camera profiles? I really hope Adobe works on this.

Here is Adobe Standard 100% crop, which looks closest to the View NX 2 rendition shadow-definition-wise, but not so much color-wise:
Here is a 100% crop of Camera Neutral preset, where shadows look like they've been pushed, but they haven't.
Here is the way View NX 2 renders this file, but unfortunately I had noise reduction turned to "normal" in-camera and View NX 2 won't let me turn that off to view the clean RAW file. I don't have CNX 2, which would have allowed me to turn off the noise reduction. Still this illustrates a difference between shadow definition and color brightness difference:
This is the full photo so you can see the lighting circumstances:
Maybe I expect too much. I don't know. Let me know what you guys think.

  • 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.

  • Installed Lightroom 5.7 Update and Camera RAW 8.7 But still will not recognise my Canon 7D MkK ll even though this is now on the list

    Installed Lightroom 5.7 Update and Camera RAW 8.7 But still will not recognise my Canon 7D MkK ll even though this is now on the list- what can I do?
    Operating System OSx Yosemite IMac.

    What exactly does "not recognise" mean, Kathy?
    You're on Mac (thanks for providing that detail): are you getting a "could not be read" message? If you are, it's a write permissions issue with the destination. Change the permission, and all should be well.

  • With the Photoshop and Lightroom bundle, does Bridge and Camera Raw come with it?

    With the Photoshop and Lightroom bundle, does Bridge and Camera Raw come with it?

    Hi,
    Yes, both Camera Raw and Bridge are included. Bridge will need a separate installation, however.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • Iphone and Camera Syncing Issues

    When I plug in my Iphone to my MacBook I get an error message that reads "Syncing has been disabled on this Machine". Then when I click "Override" It states that it cannot be done. Then the iphone will start sycing. When I plug in either of my two cameras the computer does not recognize them at all, not allowing me to upload any photos. Almost as if nothing has been plugged into the USB Port. This also happens with Printers. It does not recognize that a printer is plugged into the USB port, therefore does not allow me to print anything.
    What should I do?

    There's a whole "encyclopedia" in these forums about this problem. Suggest you search here for something like "iCal event duplication" and you should find a good bit of helpful information.
    That said, I had similar problems with my iPhone 3G and then my iPhone 4, and it basically came down to MobileMe issues. My best advice would be to look first to see whether or not the calendar on your MBP agrees with the one on MobileMe - I'm betting you'll find issues there for which the phone is just a display medium. It will probably be necessary for you to reset your sync data and clean out either the iCal data or the data in MM Calendar.

  • DNG Beta 2 Camera Profiles

    I installed the beta2 camera profiles for PS CS4.  Camera Raw 5.6.   When I go to the dropdown box in the Camera Profile presets there is only listing for nikon D2x profiles and Camera Standard, Portrait, Neutral, and Vivid.   I have a D300.  Should there be profiles for other cameras other than the Nikon D2x?  If Yes  how do I import them or where can I find them.  Are there profiles for the d300?
    Thanks

    The profiles that don't say a camera are for the current camera which is a D300 in your case.  The D2x ones simulate that camera mode on the D300.
    I think the D300 is new enough not to be supported by the old, old beta profiles, but they will clutter up the list for older cameras, so it's better not to have installed them.  ACR 5.6 comes with its own up-to-date list of profiles.

  • Camera profile issues with ACR 5.4

    I run CS4 and in ACR my camera profile menu is no longer showing the normal drop down menu options (adobe standard, faithful, etc), and is only showing the options acr 4.4 and acr 3.3....I have had this software for 4 years and this has never happened before....anyone have any advice/ideas on why this all of the sudden changed?

    Something uninstalled the external camera profiles, perhaps another Adobe product.
    You can download a newer copy of ACR and have the profiles put back.  If your ACR plug-in is already updated to the latest version, then you can install the corresponding version of the DNG Converter and it also will put the profiles back in the place they need to be.
    You can get ACR updates from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

  • 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.

  • Lightroom 4 (beta and current release) - Issue with Select Catalog screen - catalogs not displaying

    I noticed this during the beta test version of LR4 and was hoping it would be corrected in the actual release (which I installed yesterday).  Here's the issue:
    When the Select Catalog window opens, catalogs will not display unless I click in the empty space in the window (first screenshot)...then they will appear one by one as I start to click (second screenshot) until all are displayed.
    Does anyone have any suggestions??  These catalogs are NOT on a network drive, they are on my desktop machine (Win Vista 64-bit).

    I have the identical problem.
    LR3 worked perfectly. LR4 won't refresh the Catalog screen at startup without me clicking on each entry. Only when an entry is selected will it appear.
    I have an nvidia GeForce 9800GT video card, supporting dual monitors.
    I'm using Vista 64.
    I just upgraded to LR4 64bit, and immediately had this problem.
    I installed the most current video driver (2/12/2012) with no change in problem (or performance).
    I have not noticed any other program having issues, and have not changed any hardware recently.
    I am also noticing that LR4 is visibly slower than LR3, to the point where most sliders don't slide evenly, but jump in increments unless I move VERY slowly.
    I've watched the processor load using resource monitor: it is not peaking over about 65% during slider actvitivity.
    I have an Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz with 8 gb of ram.

  • Buffering and Cam Playback issues

    Hi,
    I am having real trouble with videos that use Flash Player and also when viewing cams that also use Flash. When watching videos they will only play for a few seconds before having to buffer which makes trying to watch any Flash video a nightmare. This is NOT a Youtube problem as its doing it with any Flash video not just on Youtube. Also when watching a webcam that uses Flash the cam and audio will pause every few seconds before starting again. This has only been happening since the latest update which is the version i'm using. I have Vista 32 bit and using IE 9. Please help as I have a friend that I talk to via webcam and obviously I can't anymore because of this problem.

    It sounds like you might be encountering bandwidth issues between your computer and YouTube.  The first video test was using HTML5, not Flash.  If you encountered stuttering/choppy playback then we know that your performance issue isn't relegated to just Flash Player.
    I'd recommend posting on the YouTube forums to see if anyone could recommend a reliable way to test your connection speed.  I know YouTube has a speed test, I'm not sure how it works or how to read it properly though.

  • Is there a tool for Lightroom to apply lens and camera corrections as easily as with DxO?

    DxO is great, but there is something unfixably wrong in the combination of DxO and Photoshop since i installed the plugin, which is jamming Photoshop or Windows. I got my money back, but the tools in Lightroom and Photoshop are not so good and fast as in DxO. Am i maybe missing some great plugin, or some automatic lens correction function?
    Thanks!

    LR has lens profiles and automatic CA removal, and you can choose to enable them by default, if you wish.
