Lightroom Color Profiles

My studio uses ColorMatch RGB as our standard profile. After installing LR, I noticed that there are only 3 profiles installed by default. Where does LR pull these profiles from? Can I add ColorMatch RGB to the list like you can do in Photoshop? How would I go about doing this in LR? Thanks in advance.

I think if you have the ICC Color Profile installed on your computer you can chose "other" in the Export/Color Space dialog and add the profile from your windows color profile folder, as you would do it in the Print dialog for a printer profile.
Haven't tried it myself, but it looks like this should work.

  • Lightroom color profile for Sony NEX 5N?

    Hi all. I'm trying out LR4 at the moment, and I noticed that the only available color profile (Adobe Standard) is way off for my NEX 5N. Colors look really flat and greenish compared to in-camera jpgs and RAWs edited with iPhoto or Aperture. I found this profile http://www.piraccini.net/...2011/11/sony-nex-5n-new-standard-adobe-color.html, which is a lot better but still not really what I would like to see.
    So the question for any NEX 5N users is, what color profile are you using in Lightroom? Thanks.

    Digging up an old thread here, but I'm having a similar issue. I too only see "Adobe Standard" along with other "Camera Landscape, Portrait, Standard, Vivid". If I browse to the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\ There was previously no folder or files related to my Sony NEX 5N within any of the subfolders, except for the "Sony NEX-5N Adobe Standard.dcp" file. I've since found what I assume are supporting .dcp files for my Sony camera under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.3\Resources\CameraProfiles\Camera\Sony NEX-5N and tried to copy that folder, which includes 4 profiles, and paste it within the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\ directory.
    Here is what's happening: No new profiles show up. I'm at a loss about how to install new profiles if I needed to. I've even tried downloading the OP's recomended profile from the piraccini.net site, but I'm at a loss with how to install those. No matter where I paste the different profiles (folder that contains .dcp files) they just don't show up within Lightroom 4.3. I'm at the end of my rope here, as I've tried everything that I know.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • How do I export a file with a CMYK color profile in Lightroom?

    I'm trying to save a photo with a CMYK color profile to send to a company who will print it for me. I've looked at the color profiles installed on my computer, and quite a few CMYK profiles appear to be there (in   /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended). I'm not sure if they need to be in the "Profiles" folder specifically, or if it matters that they're in a subfolder of that folder. This is on a Mac computer, by the way.
    The problem is, when I go to export in Lightroom, and I choose "Other" in Color Profile, I'm not given any of the CMYK options.
    Thanks for your help!

    Above and beyond what Jeff and John have told you, be VERY careful converting RGB to CMYK unless you have the specific ICC profile for that print provider. Probably a lot safer to send them tagged RGB and let them convert the data. Converting with a profile that isn't specifically targeted for the print process will produce huge headache's for you and the shop and potentially awful output which is going to be expensive. Ask them if they can accept RGB and send them maybe sRGB which of course you can do from Lightroom.

  • Problem with DNG Color Profiles in Lightroom 5.4

    Hello folks,
    I recently updated from LR 5.3 to Lightroom 5.4 and since then I am having problem when using dng color profiles which were created with Colorchecker Passport. Every time I use such a profile which was created for my Nikon D 800 I get very greenish tones in the pictures.
    I use Windows 7 Pro on a HP Z 210 Workstation. The monitor is a hardware-calibrated Quato which was recently calibrated.
    Does anyone have this problem too and - if yes - know how to fix it?
    Thanks!
    Yours, Albert
    PS: As English isn't my mother tongue I apologize for any mistakes in the text above.

    Hello Andrew,
    I do have a Nikon D 800 and a Fuji X-E1. I haven's noticed a problem with the Fuji so far. I think I will recalibrate my monitor tomorrow and see if the problem still exists.
    I can supply raws and DNG profiles but I don't know where I should upload them - I suggest I could do it on my own webspace. Would that be ok?

  • Picture color profile in Lightroom vs Photoshop CS2 editing

    Hi all, I hope someone can solve this for me.
    When I'm viewing picture in Light room, all my pictures are a bit warmer ( have a yellowish tint to them ) compared to when I view them in Photoshop CS2. The same is true if I view them in other programs. This is true for all my picture file type (jpg, tif or raw). I get the feeling that it's Light room that in the wrong in how it displays the picture and not the other programs. Using the warms tool to make the picture a bit colder, only adds a bluish tint to the image which isn't even close to what it looks like (unedited) in Photoshop.
    I get the feeling that Lightroom does something to the picture, or uses some sort of color profile, driver that other programs don't use.
    Is there a way of changing this?

    >When I purchase these ADOBE products I expect them to JUST WORK!!!!!
    Unfortunately, when Microsoft, Dell and others enter the fray it's no longer up to just the Adobe folks. Differences between Photoshop and Lightroom are almost always due to a corrupt monitor profile. Adobe has nothing to do with that.
    >I dont wanna have to be worried about corrupt profiles yada yada yada!!!
    I just want to be able to do my color correction and exposure corrections in Lightroom export as a High Res Jpeg and then do the remainder of my work in Photoshop and have them both look the same.
    If your screen is correctly calibrated that will be the case. Unfortunately if you want to do color sensitive work on a computer with a typical monitor, you have to have a rudimentary understanding of profiles and color management. There is unfortunately no way around it. This is no different from traditional color photography where you have to understand what different film, different filters and different development do to your colors. The terminology is just different.
    >How do I fix this and please go through it STEP BY STEP BY STEP!!!!
    I am not one for the computer lingo....
    OK. I'll assume first that you have no hardware calibrator and that you are on windows:
    1. Make sure your Photoshop color settings are set up to respect embedded profiles. See the
    first screenshot in this post(ignore everything else as it is no longer relevant in LR 2).
    2. Open your monitor's properties panel, click on advanced and go to the color management tab. Delete any profile you see there. This is the culprit. Probably a bad profile got installed in some driver update for your graphics card or your monitor.
    3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop and that's it! You'll have corresponding colors. You are however, cheating yourself as your monitor is completely uncalibrated. This is how 99% of computer users run their monitors.
    So here is what you should be doing if you care about your color and matching to print and making sure that others see the same colors. Even though hardly anybody calibrates, the only way to get a good average correspondence is to calibrate your monitor and use color managed apps. This sequence is valid for both macs and PCs
    1. Do as above step one and make sure Photoshop is set up correctly and then go out and buy a hardware calibrator (or order online). They can be had for <$100 for pretty good ones. Look for example for Spyder2 and Huey Pro.
    2. Calibrate your screen following the instructions from the software
    3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop. Now you'll have identical but correct color.
    If you have a mac, you can cheat slightly and use http://www.computer-darkroom.com/colorsync-display/colorsync_1.htm instead of hardware calibration. You cannot expect very good correspondence between monitor and prints though with that method.

  • Changing color profile in Lightroom 5 Soft Proofing from ProPhotoRGB to sRGB is not showing any changes, changes in Photoshop CC are dramatic

    I am working with  the color profile ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. In preparing for my first Blurb book I have tried to generate pictures in sRGB in Lightroom, using the Soft Proofing feature, but there are no changes at all. Then I transfer the same pictures into Photoshop, change the color profiles and the results are dramatically different.
    What can I do to achieve the same results in Lightroom

    With an average monitor what you see on-screen is already soft proofed to sRGB (or something very close to it), because that's all the monitor is capable of displaying anyway. So soft proofing to sRGB won't tell you anything. You won't see any difference.
    In Photoshop it sounds as if you assign profiles. That's not the way to do it. If you convert correctly you won't see any difference. Same principle as above: there may be clipping in the process, but what you see on screen is already clipped, so no visual on-screen difference.
    With a wide gamut monitor soft proofing becomes slightly more useful. But still you won't see any changes occurring outside Adobe RGB. You'll get a better idea by keeping an eye on the histogram. Ideally, all three channels should taper gently off towards the endpoints. If any one or two channels are backed solidly up against the endpoint, on either side, that's gamut clipping.
    If Blurb gave you a real profile, one that reflected their actual printing process, you could soft proof to that. But apparently they don't.

  • [Vista] No color profiles in Lightroom

    I have a problem with printing in lightroom.
    There are some more topics with printing problems, but not like mine.
    The problem is that i would like Lightroom to manage the color profiles, but on the printing page, when i click the color profile field, i can only choose 'managed by printer' and 'other'.
    When i click 'other', i get a popup screen, where i should be able to select a color profile, but this screen is completely empty, so there is nothing to select.
    How can i make a color profile appear in this screen?
    When i use printer managed, and select a color profile in my printer screen, i get very bad prints, thats why i want lightroom to manage the colors.
    PS: i have a HP D5160 printer.

    Hi Ronnie
    I have exactly the same problem but using a HP 3210 all-in-one printer. HP doesn´t seem provide ICC profile for their printerns. So, I guess thats the reason no beeing able to view them i th manage by application dialog box.
    I have serious problems getting acceptable colours on my prints from Lightroom 1.1 and 1.2 (no difference). No problem at all printing from Photoshop CS or Elements, getting fine printings.
    When chatting with HP support they refuse to answer straight questions about ICC profiles and start blaming on Adobe applications instead. Really frustrating.
    Really hope that someone finds an acceptable workaround.

  • Color profiles in Lightroom 3 for online printing

    Hi,
    I would like to know if I can enter color profiles in Lightroom 3 for online printing. I am going to use Adormapix and they have color profiles for each paper. Is there a way to do this in LR 3 and if not is this available in LR 4 or 5? I plan to upgrade in the next 6 months but may upgrade sooner if I need to.

    Generally, profiles provided by labs are not for imbedding, or converting the image to send for on-line printing. They are used to simulate the final output on your screen so you have an idea what you will be getting back from the lab on that paper. This is called soft proofing. It is available in Lightroom 4 or 5 by hitting the [S] key while in the Develop module.  Choosing a profile in the Soft Proofing dialog that appears beneath the histogram is a way to see how your final print will approximately appear on a selected media.
    From Adorama's website: "We print in sRGB color space, so for best results convert your images before uploading." meaning that you will want to send Adorama sRGB images only. When you create a JPEG file to send to Adorama, you will want to specify sRGB in the Lightroom Export dialog under File Settings.

  • Lightroom 5.6 crashes when images with some color profiles are in import

    I am a recent subscriber to Adobe CC. I run LR 5.6 64bit on my Win 7 PC. Whenever I seek to import images previously processed in iPhoto or LR elements into my catalog, ACC Lightrom crashes. I suspect it is because the original editing program used a different color profile. Adobe techs will not give me an answer when I ask for an overall cure. Are their any technical documents on the web that would enable me to deal with this issue? If so, I cannot find them, and I do not want to call Adobe again and again to get LR 5.6 restored.

    When Lightroom greys out a photo in the Import dialog box, it means the photo is already in the catalog. It doesn't mean that it is matched with an older photo with the same name ... in order for there to be a match, the file name and capture date and file size must be identical.
    So Lightroom thinks you have already imported the photos, and you think the photos have not been imported. Now I'm sure you are a very nice person, but I believe Lightroom. What you need to do is to find the photos in your Library Module and use them there. The photos can be found by searching for them by file name, after turning off all filters, and after clicking on All PHotographs in the Library Module.

  • Lightroom 4.4 export color profile issues

    Hello,
    My problem is that when I export JPG's from Lightroom (100% / sRGB / sharpen for screen) the picture seems to lack contrast and the colors look less saturated (Looks like this everywhere, including Windows Preview, Firefox, Photoshop..). If I select Soft Proofing and sRGB, the colors look correct.
    Also if I take a screen capture and save it as JPG, the colors look similar to my preview in Lightroom.
    I have tried to export in sRGB, Adobe RGB and ProPhoto RGB color profiles but none of them looks the same as LR preview.
    Thanks

    This looks like Lightroom is choking on a bad monitor profile, especially if Lightroom and Photoshop are not in agreement (because they should be, always - but it can happen that they react differently to a bad profile).
    Is your monitor calibrated/profiled? What calibrator? Or if not, are you using a monitor profile provided by the monitor manufacturer? (they're sometimes defective).
    Export to Adobe RGB and open it in Photoshop. Put Ps and Lr side by side and make a screenshot of that. If they're different, I bet it's the monitor profile. The reason for testing this with an Adobe RGB export (and not sRGB) is to rule out any normal gamut clipping.

  • Color profiling in Lightroom

    Hi,
    I send my photos to a lab for printing. Is there a way to use their color profiles in Lightroom or do I have to go back to Photoshop to do this? And, if I adjust the photo using the labs color profile in Photoshop will Lightroom recognize it?
    Thanks,
    j.

    You can "print" a color managed JPEG file out of Lightroom's print module and select any color profile on your system.(It's a handy way of utilizing the layout features in the print module while using your local lab) You can also select any color profile when exporting your file. The only place where color profiles are limited is the exchange between Lightroom and Photoshop. You can choose between the three most common color spaces at that point.
    One other quick point, Lightroom is completely color managed. If your file is tagged with a valid ICC profile the application will respect and manage all of those details for you.
    Regards,
    Tom

  • Lightroom export color profiles not working as expected...

    I'm trying to produce an image for a commercial printing service using the colour profile they provide.  I get the image looking the way I want in Lightroom and export it to a jpg with the printing service's printer profile.  As far as I understand it, this should give me a jpg that they can print to give me something that matches what I see on my monitor.
    To test what I'm doing, I brought the jpg up in photoshop, and used the view/proof setup/custom to proof the jpg with the service's colour profile.  I thought that doing this would show me the same image in photoshop that I had in Lightroom.  That doesn't seem to be the case.  The colour balance is about right, but the saturation and densities are out -- the photoshop version show less contrast.
    So, is there something wrong, or am I misunderstanding the way color profiles work?
    Thanks for any info.
    Doug

    To use the profile for softproof, that is viewing it on a calibrated monitor in the profile. You can either try the new softproofing plug in, or open the file from LR into PS in whatever you usual working colour space is (I would suggest ProPhoto) do not at this stage attach the profile.. In photoshop go to View, Proof setup, custom. In the Device to Simulate, select the profile, then choose either Perceptual or Saturation in rendering intent. Check black point compensation and bioth Simulate Paper color and Black ink, if these are available (this depends on the profile). You will now be viewing the image as it will be when printed as long as your screen is accurately calibrated. You can also select gamut warning under view and see which colours lay outside the gamut of the profile.
    Whe you have finished just save the file. Export from the print module from LR with the profile attached and send to your printer.

  • One again about color profiles and lightroom

    I have wide gamut monitor (nec pa271w) and I tried to calibrate it. After calibration it created new color profile and make it default in windows color managment. But now all pictures in Lightroom are not so colourful as they were before. If I choose srgb(default profile for windows) the colors become as they were before calibration but in this case I see srgb color space and not full color that my monitor can produce. I read articles about calibration but didn't find how to solve the problem with lightroom.

    You wrote
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}But now all pictures in Lightroom are not so colourful as they were before.
    This is probably the effect of your now calibrated monitor vs. the uncalibrated one.
    Often uncalibrated monitors show highly over-saturated colors. It looks very rich and flashy and people are wowed.
    But these over-saturated colors cannot be printed and do not reflect the true state of the image data.
    When your monitor is calibrated properly it will display the colors as they should be.
    When you chose sRGB all the colors - particularly the reds and greens - will appear more saturated. That is the effect of this color space that is much smaller than Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB.
    LR will automatically find and select your calibrated color profile if it is saved in the right place / folder.
    And you can't change that. There is no provision for a different color space in LR.
    WW
    PS: As Pete and other posters have said already: Set the white point of your monitor to 6500 - that is the accepted standard. Don't choose sRGB to make your photos look good. Rather work with a calibrated monitor and then edit your photos in LR to your liking. You seem to think that your photos are a given and you have to adjust your monitor to make them look good - that's not how it's done.

  • Can't get Lightroom Color Management to select custom profiles

    I can't get Lightroom Color Management to select custom profiles.
    - I select "other" in Profile,
    - a pop-up box shows me numerous profiles to choose from
    - I select a profile and the selection is highlighted
    - I press "OK" and the pop-up box disappears
    - but if I go back to the "Profile" selection line, only "Managed by Printer" is available.
    What's wrong here?
    Is the inability to select a profile the reason that prints from Lightroom look way to dark when I print them?
    Vick

    Oh, I'm on Windows, XP with SP2.
    The profiles are in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color
    I used the .exe that was provided by Epson for installing the drivers.
    Nothing fancy, nothing different.
    For Lightroom, I installed it off CD, and got the 1.3.1 update off their Adobe site.
    Any clues there, to solve the puzzle?
