Lightroom 4.4 won't recognize custom camera profiles

I can't get LR4 to recognize any custom profiles.  I've loaded others' tried and proven custom profiles for Fuji X-cameras, and I've used Adobe DNG Profile Editor to create my own .dcp profile with my X-E1.  All these profiles are in the correct folder: Library>Application Support>Adobe>Camera Raw>Camera Profiles.  Yet when I open LR4 and go to the Camera Calibration panel, the only profile showing on the drop down menu is Adobe Standard. I am working with only RAW files.  I have no idea why LR4 can't see these profiles.  Do they need to go in a folder inside the Camera Profiles folder?

OMG... I'm such a nit-wit!!  I switched the setting in my camera to try something and forgot to swith it back!
I've been digging through this for more that an hour and never bothered to check the file setting. 
Thanks for the suggestion!

  • Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type while importing from Canon 5d Mark iii

    Anyone mind helping me trouble shoot why my Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type of my Canon 5D Mark iii ?
    I have seen this in a couple other threads but none of those suggestions worked for me. I am also a Mac user.

    The above contradicts with this:

    So my reading of that is that you ARE importing Raw files from the 5D3 into Lightroom, but having to use a roundabout route to do so. Is that correct? If so, how are you trying to import when you "cannot import raw files into Lightroom", are you using a card reader or direct camera attachment? Have you tried both methods? And what happens when you do try?

  • IMOVIE 6 won't recognize DV camera while IDVD is encoding or burning

    I am in the process of encoding and burning a dvd in idvd 6. Given the length of this process, I want to also import some video into an imovie 6 project. However, while idvd is encoding, imovie won't recognize my camera.
    I understand I can stop idvd, but then will I lose the encoding that has already occurred?
    Will imove recognize the camera if I launch idvd after beginning the import into imovie?
    Is there a software fix that will prevent idvd from monopolizing the firewire port when it is just encoding video from an imovie project?
    This is a very irritating conflict given the time encoding takes in idvd.
    Thanks,

    As Sue suggests, it's not surprising that iDVD doesn't want you to access the camera with iMovie. It's not unusual for applications that perform FireWire-intensive functions—as both iDVD and iMovie do—to want to control the device. If iDVD can't control the camera, it may not be able to perform a task you want it to do. (Remember, iDVD offers several camcorder-dependent functions, including OneStep DVDs.)
    While it may be a bit treacherous, you CAN go behind iDVD's back to get it done. The trick is to grab control of the camera before iDVD does. So Quit iDVD after you create, then save the iDVD project, then grab control of the camera with an iMovie HD project, THEN re-open the iDVD project and start encoding. (I tested exporting the iDVD project to a disk image, which is probably safer than burning a physical DVD. Use Disk Utility later to burn the disk image to a physical DVD.)
    The iMovie video looked fine here, but your mileage may vary.

  • 10.8.5 won't recognize my camera for download

    My computer won't recognize my camera for picture downloads.  Worked before with older Mac system.

    Your Panasonic should work fine under normal circumstances.
    Remove the firewire hub from the loop. It will be a trouble maker.
    Formatting must be Mac OS Extended. To check it, go to the firewire icon on your Desktop and right click it then select Get Info.
    If it's not Mac OS Extended, use the disc utility to re-format, be aware that this will erase all files so BACKUP any imortant files before proceding.
    You will need a spare firewire port to plug in the camera. Some externals have two, if yours has two, try it, otherwise you will have to add the suggested card to add the additional port.
    Does the G4 have two?
    The card arrangement gives you an additional BUS and is light years ahead of a firewire port for video editing.

  • Where to store custom camera profiles on a MacBook Pro 17" OS X 10.8.5

    I recently created custom camera profiles for a friend's Nikon D700 using the Adobe DNG Profile Editor. She does not know where to install or store the dcp files so they can be used when she converts her RAW files. She is using Photoshop CS6 on a MacBook Pro 17" with OS X 10.8.5. I created the profiles on a PC. Can anyone help?

  • Can't load custom camera profiles

    I'm using both Lightroom 3.5 and Photoshop CS5 on a 64-bit Windowx XP-Pro system with 8GB of RAM and plenty of disk space.
    I use an X-rite color checker to generate custom camera profiles whenever I do portraits or other color critical photo sessions. The camera profile is generally placed in the
    "Documents and Settings\...{user...}Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles " folder.
    When I try to apply a profile in either lightroom or ACR the newely created profile is not visible in the camera profile drop-down box. When I check to see if the profile exists in the appropriate folder, it does.
    I've used color profiles before and have always been able to create and select a profile. Now I'm no longer able to do this. I would prefer to not re-install all my Adobe software since then I'd have to reinstall all the updates and plug-ins.
    How can I get lightroom and ACR to see these profiles and use them?

    OK I figured out my problem and it seems as though it was a combination of things.
    First: The X-Rite color checker can't create a profile if any of the color channels in the image are clipped. Adjusting the exposure via Camera Raw/Lightroom and saving the file as a DNG doesn't help since the changes are in metadata and not the actual raw file. I tried converting the file to a TIF after making the exposure adjustment then to a DNG, this allowed me to then save it as a DNG which the X-Rite software then allowed me to create a custom profile without errors. This new profile however, was not visible from the Camera Calibration menu.  The reason for this is that in the actual .dcp file, instead of having the camera type specified, it had TIF.
    Second: The imbedded camera type (Canon 5D, Nikon D90, etc.) in the profile has to match the camera type in the metadata of the image you're trying to apply the profile to. Apparently, Lightroom/ACR, only allows you to see profiles that match the images taken by the same camera type. This makes sense since my two different bodies have different profiles. If you shoot with two different bodies you need to apply the profiles separately in lightroom. You need to sort the images by camera type then apply/sync the camera profile applicable to each camera seperately.
    Third: I figured out a solution to the issue of my overexposed color checker, but unless your are comfortable with editing the binary .dcp file with a binary editor, I suggest you add  1/2 to a full stop when shooting the color checker. The problem is that red typically clips before any other color and since your meter does an 18% average (including the incident meter in the studio), it's possible to clip Red while Green and Blue are fine.

  • Custom Camera Profile List (Color Checker Passport)

    Hi
    I am new to Lightroom 4.3 and have a question regarding Custom Camera Profiles. I have created custom profiles using Color Checker Passport for sunny, cloudy, flash, tungsten etc but would really like to create one for most shoots. I thought it would be a good idea to name it say "Temp" and overwrite each time so that I dont end up knee deep in camera profiles. But I am guessing if I do this will the latest saved version of "Temp" change the camera profile of all other previously saved versions of "Temp" from other shoots?
    It would be good if the saved version of "Temp" resided within the folder of that particular shoot only.

    In fact I'm amazed at how good the Adobe Standard profile is (Nikon D300/700) - I have never been able to improve on it for sheer accuracy.
    ColorChecker Passport profiles I created for my Canon 5D MKII, 600D and 300D bodies looks better than the Adobe Standard profile, with both set to the same neutral white balance. This includes both single-illuminant and dual-illuminant profiles.
    Take a look at the below images which were adjusted in LR using normal adjustments for a "picture" image, and not adjusted as a test chart. The Deep Blue and Purplish Blue patches have a slightly different hue and are more saturated on  my non-wide gamut display. I'm sure they would look even more different on a wide gamut display. The ColorChecker profiled image looks closer to the actual ColorChecker when compared side-by-side. Some of the other color patches also have more saturation, which again appears more accurate.
    I am certainly no "expert" on color management, but do have over 40 years of film, color darkroom, and digital imaging experience. To me the ColorChecker profile image looks better and more accurate than the Adobe Standard profile image, and that's just my opinion. Maybe it's something unique to Adobe's Canon profiles, but I have no Nikon equipment to test this assumption.
    Concerning the OP's creation and use of multiple "sunny, cloudy, flash, tungsten etc. profiles," I did the same thing when I first used the CC Passport. And you're correct that for normal sunlight pictures only one (1) profile is actually needed, with changes made to white balance for the different conditions. But there is nothing wrong with creating multiple profiles and saving them with their matching white balance settings as a Develop preset. Disk space is cheap and IMHO LR simplifies the process and organization of presets, just as Rob Cole suggested.
    I would suggest further that under some natural lighting conditions white balance alone may not totally correct the image. Examples would be high-altitude, early morning and evening low-angle sunlight, etc. Of course this begs the question of how much should you actually "correct" these images – It depends on the purpose, such as artistic versus clinical usage, or a balance of both.

  • Created custom camera profile in DNG editor and can't find it in LR

    I have created custom camera profiles and can't find them in Lightroom 3. Can someone help? I'm a Mac user.
    David

    I figured it out. I saved the profile, but I did not export it.
    Thanks for the help everyone.
    I was primarily interested in doing a custom tone curve to match my Mark IV to my 5D. The results were really bad, so I re did the profiles to simply get close colors, and I used the Point Tone Curve to match the two cameras. I've always liked the tone curve from the 5D, and I've always hated the one on the Mark IV.
    Problem Solved.
    Thanks again.

  • Removing custom camera profiles on a Mac? Lr4

  • Removing custom camera profiles

    I am running windows 7.  How do I remove custom camera profiles created by x-rite passport?
    thanks,
    Randy

    Randy,
    Be careful deleting profiles, particularly from the OS.  I think the x-rite manager actually hides profiles instead of deleting them which is probably just fine.
    Regarding actual deletion, I am not certain so please test this - if the profiles are not being used by any images, deleting should not be a problem.  If some images are using them however and the profiles are deleted, the next time that image renders it won't be able to find the profile and will have to render using an Adobe default color profile.  To compound this problem, there is no easy way to filter by color profile (a couple of plug-ins exist I think) so it becomes difficult to know if it a particular profile is being used.
    One way around this, again I believe this is correct but please test for yourself, is that if you use the DNG format for your RAW images, when you update the DNG Preview (instead of Ctrl-S) you embed the color profile into the image and therefor you can delete them.  This can be handy when you have one-time uses for the special color profiles.

  • ACR 5 - Support for Custom Camera Profiles

    ACR 4 allows users to select from a list of four device-independent colour spaces (Adobe RGB 1998, ColorMatch RGB, ProPhoto RGB and sRGB). Unlike other RAW processors, it does not allow selection of a custom camera profile. This capability is very useful when colour accuracy is of considerable importance (e.g. reproduction of art works). Does ACR 5 allow for selection of custom profiles?

    When this question had been asked in the past the answer has always been, "No, because these choices are all that you need." This may seem to be a rather close minded answer. But in reality the Prophoto color space encompasses everything else that is available. So the solution has been to do all of your work in ACR in Prophoto and send the image on to Photoshop in that color space. Then convert to the desired color space in Photoshop.

  • [4.3] Custom camera profiles now ignored

    Hi,
    After installation of LR 4.3, my custom camera profiles are no longer recognized. They are still in the correct folder along with the other camera profiles installed by LR but these custom profiles are not shown in the drop down list in the Camera Calibration panel.
    Any similar experience?
    Any fix?
    Thanks in advance.

    Aaaah, it seems that custom profiles now need to be stored in another folder, different from the one where the default profiles are stored.
    Previously, all profiles (default and custom) were stored there for my 5D :
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\Canon EOS 5D
    Now the custom profiles need to be moved there (create the folder if it doesn't exist) :
    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Canon EOS 5D
    A warning about this change would have been nice and time saving.

  • Q: Custom camera profiles and process 2010 - incompatible?

    I have two digital cameras that I've had modified to shoot in the infrared.  I have to use custom camera profiles (created with the DNG profile editor) when I import IR images, otherwise the custom white balance is not preserved correctly.  However, even though the Develop module shows that the process is 2010 for my IR images, the Detail and Contrast sliders under Noise Reduction are grayed out.
    I read somewhere on the web that custom camera profiles used on import effectively negate the ability to use the new features in process 2010 - can anyone confirm this, or otherwise explain why I'm not able to use the Noise Reduction features of process 2010 in their entirety?
    Thanks much.

  • Lightroom 4.1 won't recognize my supported Nikon camera and lenses under "Lens Corrections"?

    Develop Module-Under Lens Corrections, Enable Profile Corrections, Lightroom 4.1 won't auto recognize my Nikon D5000 camera and lenses even though they ARE supported.  When I manually choose Nikon in this widow, I can only get 8 of the multitude of supported Nikon lenses to show in the drop down.  Of these 8 lenses, none match any of my lenses.  How do I fix this?  I would like to be able to click the check box for "Enable Profile Corrections" and have it auto recognize my camera and lens.

  • Tried to tether my Nikon D3200, but it won't recognize my camera

    Does anyone have a clue as to how I can get the software to recognize this camera?

    You can't. At this time the D3200 is not supported for tethered shooting. Nikon has software that may support the camera, and you could save your images to a watched folder that Lightroom uses.
    Update: Nikon's software is called Camera Control Pro 2. I just checked it for a list of supported cameras and the D3200 isn't included in that list.
