Love Lightroom Camera Profiles. Could we get more?

Loving the Camera Profiles for Sony cameras in Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw. Would it be possible to add them for Sony A900, A850 and A700 in the next Lightroom and ACR updates? Thank you!

Many Sony users have asked why Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw doesn't read Sony Creative Styles embedded in RAW - thwse camera profiles offer a very nice response to that question.
ACR and LR don't support this capability with any camera model, and it's not likely to be added in the future. What Adobe has done is provide "emulations" of the "Camera" picture styles for some camera makes and models, which can be manually selected and applied. You can do a search here and at Photoshop Family Customer Community for posts on camera picture styles and add your vote, or even add a new request.
The OEM's picture style "recipes" are designed to work specifically with the their raw converter and not ACR/LR. The Adobe Standard camera profile and ACR/LR Develop default settings are designed to make camera raw images look nearly identical regardless of camera make or model (i.e. "Standard").

Those are someone's custom profiles which are fine but they are not the Sony Creative Style profiles. The screenshot above shows Lightroom profiles for A7-series cameras.
What I read at that site:
I've photographed, under the direct sunlight, a 24 color GretagMacbeth / X-Rite table, then, after converting the RAW to DNG, I've created the standard color profiles with Adobe DNG Profile Editor. Starting from the standard profile and using as reference the "non standard" Nikon, Canon and Leica's profiles, I've created the creative profiles.
Based on the procedure he used these camera profiles may as good or better than Adobe's. They are both emulations created using the Adobe DNG Profile Editor. I can also tell you that neither profile (Adobe's or his) will perfectly "match" the picture style of an in-camera JPEG or raw file processed with the OEMs raw converter. It may be close....but no cigar! I use a ColorChecker PassPort created profile with all my Canon DSLRs, which I find is a better "starting point" than Adobe Standard–YMMV. I also rarely if ever use the "Camera" profiles, which usually require using different Basic panel settings. The one exception is 'Camera Faithful,' which I sometimes use for revealing fine tonal and color gradations (i.e. flowers).

I am a novice. I have a few thousand iPhotos stored on Dropbox. But now I have a Canon T5i camera and want to get more involved in photography. I want to open a Lightroom and Photoshop account. I have a Windows desktop and an iPad. Will I have any compatibility issues with PC and Mac? Can I store my photos in Lightroom and eliminate my Dropbox account? Thanks.

You shouldn't have any compatibility issues. But you don't store images "in" Lightroom. Lightroom simply points to wherever the images are on your system. You might like to watch a few videos that can help you understand how Lightroom works.

Lightroom Camera Profile quick question

Think I know where the problem lies. Pentax K100D recognised in Library metadata but not in Develop ... profile.
Can someone please check their (Windows) computer for me?
Program Data/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/Camera
I don't have my camera appearing in that folder even though Adobe's online doc for supported models includes it.
I've upgraded from LR 2 to 3 and then to 3.3 Suspecting that it hasn't upgraded properly. If someone else has the K100D sitting merrily in their list, I guess it's uninstall and try again.
Many thanks

I don't have the K100D either. Not all cameras have camera-matching profiles.

Where could I get more information about SetDialogGroupInfo?

Hi,
I'm trying to implement tabbed dialog on Windows by utilizing ADM suites. But I have no idea how to deal with
sADMDialogGroup->SetDialogGroupInfo or sADMDialogGroup->SetTabGroup methods. ADM Reference Guide is not clear enough for me on how to achieve that. What should be exact sequence of calls?
Initially I thought that I need:
1. sADMDialog->Create
2. sADMDialog->CreateGroupInDialog
3. sADMDialogGroup->SetDialogGroupInfo
4. sADMDialogGroup->SetTabGroup
But that doesn't work for me.
Any help would be appreciated!

If needed - I'll start from scratch only UI part, not business logic of my plugin. And that is not big deal for me really. UI is only about 5 percents of whole functionality. But right now I'd like to complete it with already present ADM code.
OK, now about my situation.
I'd like to create multitabbed dialog with 2 tabs. From ADM documentation I assume that for that purpose I need to have 2 dialog boxes created and then somehow inserted into main tab folder (or I don't know how to call that UI item). So, this is part of my code inside plugin dialog initialization function:
ADMUtils::InitializeADM();
ADMDialogRef dialog = sADMDialog->Create(sADMPluginRef, "MyCompany:MyPlugin",
IDD_DIALOG1, kADMTabbedFloatingDialogStyle, (ADMDialogInitProc)DialogOnInit, NULL, NULL);
err = sADMDialogGroup->SetDialogGroupInfo(dialog, "Group1", 1 & kADM_DPTabMask);
ADMDialogRef dialog2 = sADMDialog->Create(sADMPluginRef, "MyCompany:MyPlugin",
IDD_DIALOG2, kADMTabbedFloatingDialogStyle, (ADMDialogInitProc)DialogFiles, NULL, NULL);
err = sADMDialogGroup->SetDialogGroupInfo(dialog, "Group1", 2 & kADM_DPTabMask);
After that nothing is diplayed at all. If I drop those SetDialogGroupInfo calls, then I have both dialogs visible and dragging second one I could make it as a tab near first one.
Do I correctly use kADM_DPTabMask here?

After installing from ios 5, we lost memory. How could we get more momory space? Or could we disable some features from ios 5 for operating on ipod touch? We can't get all apps and music on this device, which were on the phone on ios 4 before. Help us!!!

How could we go to ios4, when ios5 uses so much memory space?

Specific camera profile in camera raw

I’ve just started using Lightroom 5 & Photoshop CC in Creative Cloud and understood that there would be a specific profile for my Panasonic GH3 in Camera Raw, that is I expected the programme to suggest default adjustments specifically tuned to the characteristics of my camera. I can’t find this anywhere in the programmes, indeed the only reference to my camera/lens combination is in the metadata and camera Raw seems to work on an Adobe default.
Am I missing something?

What profile options you have depends on how many profile Adobe ships for camera and how many profiles you save for you camera. The name may seem the same for other models but the are for a particular Camera model. The The Pull-Down profile menu jsy does not display the camera model. If you look in the folder Adobe stores the Camera Profiles you will get an Idea of how many profiles are on your system. I'm on Windows the root folder for Camera profiles is "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles" It has two sub folders "Adobe Standard" and "Camera" in "Adobe Standard" adobe stores all its standard profile for all the cameras it has profile for. The "Camera" has sub folders for each model camera and those folders may have several profiles for the camera model.

Setting up camera profiles

I may be confused, but I seem to remember when I was using LR3 Beta, I had a profile set up for my particular camera. Now I am using the release version and I can't seem to find how to set up a particular model or brand in the camera profile.

Lightroom camera profiles don't display model or brand information in their name. That being said, Lightroom will only allow you to select camera profiles designed for a specific model and brand. These profiles have names similar to those used by the camera vendor to describe their looks. For example, Canon users have profiles for Camera Faithful, Camera Neutral, Camera Portrait, Camera Landscape and Camera Standard in addition to Adobe Standard. Nikon users have slightly profiles, some of which include the D2X designation)

Could you buy more space to download stuff after you bought a iPod that is 8 gigabite and make it 16 gigabite forever instead of wasting money every year

I need more space on my iPod and I don't want to spend money every year so I want to just get 16 gigabyte forever so could I get more gigabyte If my iPod is 8 gigabyte and I want 16

No, but you can store music and data on iCloud and buy extra storage capacity when needed.

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.

Camera Profile in Lightroom (X20)

Hi, I'm just beginning with a fujifilm X20 camera and .raf files.
I'm trying Lightroom 5.0 and still not sure if I should use Photoshop instead, here is why :
I tryied to found my camera profile, and it's not in lightroom, found X100 not X20.
I tried by the adobe lens profile downloader, I found 5 profiles for the X10, none for the X10.
Googling about that, I found out that the X20 is supported by Camera Raw, but I can't see how I could get that without Photoshop.
So my question is : what should I do :
- don't care about lens correction ?
- do care and chose one of the five available X10 profiles (but how to chose.. between them)
- switch to Photoshop + Camera Raw wich is supposed to support the X20
Thanks for any help

You may be confusing two concepts.
RAW file support for you camera means that LR will open the RAW file. LR has the Adobe ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) system built in and you don't see it. Photoshop uses the same ACR system, but you do see it as a separate function.
There are two ways you can see if your camera is supported by Lightroom or ACR. One is to find the list of cameras. The other is to see if it works.
The second concept is lens profiles. For fixed lens cameras like yours, the lens corrections are built into the data in the RAW file the camera makes. Unless you have a DSLR with multiple lenses, you can leave the "Lens Corrections" disabled or set to "Default".

How can i add the Sigma 10mm 2.8 Fisheye lens profile from the camera profile in windows to lightroom 5?

It only seems to give me a 15mm fisheye option for Sigma and not the 10mm even though it is a profile in the camera profiles folder.
Can anyone help with importing this profile into Lightroom?

Just so it is black and white for my sake. I am shooting with a Nikon D7100 using a Sigma Fisheye 10mm 2.8 and using the Lens Profile of the Sigma 15mm 2.8mm on Lightroom.
Then the correct profile to use is the Sigma 10mm F2.8 if you want proper Vignetting correction and matching Distortion correction, but you'll need to shoot camera raw images (i.e. no JPEG lens profile). This is also why you are only seeing partial correction. As I said, "With a crop factor camera only the central crop area of the full-frame Sigma 15mm lens profile will be applied."
That said there is absolutely nothing wrong with using the Sigma 15mm lens profile with your crop factor Nikon D7100 if you are happy with the partial correction results, but you can also do this using the correct Sigma 10mm lens profile (set less than 100). There is a fisheye correction plugin called Fisheye-Hemi that works very similar in that it only applies partial correction. You're getting about the same results as Fisheye-Hemi for free using partial correction with the LR lens profile tool. That should make you happy! I suggest experimenting with both the 15mm and 10mm lens profiles and start shooting camera raw image files. Your're not realizing the camera's full capability shooting JPEGs!
In the DSC_7098 images posted none of them look very sharp (slow shutter speed?). Other than geometric correction I can't judge the posted images for "sharpness" in the corrected areas, which is the major concern. The biggest issue with rectilinear correction of fisheye images is loss of detail in areas with the most correction (edges and corners). If that were not the case people would use fisheye lenses for ALL wide-angle images and simply correct them inside LR. Sadly that's not the case and using LR's Lens Profile Distortion and other transform tools to correct fisheye images considerably softens the corrected areas (sides and corners).
Fisheye geometric distortion with some subjects is almost undetectable. So how much correction you need will vary by subject type and what the end use for the image. Any fisheye image that has correction applied will lose sharpness in the corrected areas, which may be fine for most purposes other than large prints.So it's best not to strive for 100% rectilinear correction–Just the correction needed to make the image look better.
Canon 8-15mm F4L FE on 5D MKII Full-Frame @ 15mm (No correction)
Looks good to me with no correction!
For more flexibility and better results PS's Wide Angle Adaptive filter and content aware fill tools will retain more image detail in the corrected areas. Here's the same lens and camera with an image processed in PS:
15mm Full-Frame Fisheye
LR Distortion = 50 (partial) PS Adaptive Wide Angle Filter + Content Aware Fill
The corner image detail is about the same in both of the above images at 1:1 view. Partial LR Distortion correction is good!
So what happens if I apply 100 Distortion correction to the image inside LR?
1:1 Compare View (lower-left) with LR Distortion = 100
100% LR Distortion correction of fisheye images is NOT good IMHO!

How do I find/load more standard camera profiles than "Adobe Standard"

I have reloaded Lightroom 3.3 several times. Still the only camera profile I have available is Adobe Standard. I would like to have access to profiles like Camera Standard and Camera Vivid. How can I load and/or get these to show up?

I expect that with some of the profiles are camara specific, but is there a reason I can't see more of the generic profiles (e.g., Camera Vivid)?
generic and profiles are two words that just can't go to together, a complete oxymoron I am afraid. Profiles are specific to a device that has been profiled, in this case the colour reproduction of a camera sensor. Adobe profiles every camera it supports, this is the profile called Adobe Standard for you camera. On some cameras Adobe also produce other calibrations, these often mirror the names used by the camera manufacturers to describe their own profiles. Most camera manufacturers do not actually produce more than one profile themselves, instead they produce a choice of different colour interpretations that can be applied only to the in camera jpgs. In these case Adobe don't usually produce anything other than the Adobe Standard.
You can, of course, make your own calibration profiles specific to your actual cameras sensor (sensors themselves varies so even the profiles supplied by the manufacturers and Adobe may not actually match your sensor. The tools and instructions on how to do this are supplied free by Adobe here.
If your camera has profiles other than the stand, it will be located
On Mac OS X: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles
On Windows 2000 / XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Support\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
On Windows Vista/7: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles

Camera Profile options suddenly missing in Lightroom...

Okay... so I noticed yesterday that (for some reason) my camera calibration profile options have disappeared, and my only option is "Adobe Standard". I used to have all the others (camera standard, camera standard 2, adobe standard 2, ACR, etc), but they have vanished.
I'm running Windows 7 32bit.
I thought maybe it was just Lightroom 3.5, so I un-installed and re-installed... no luck.
I un-installed 3.5 and re-installed 3.4.1.. no luck.
The camera profiles are in the proper directory (based on other forum posts I've found)... no luck.
I've tried removing the camera profiles from the directory and re-installing... no luck.
Not sure where they went, or what happened, or how I can get them back. Colors just aren't the same without them
Any ideas? I searched for hours on different forums and support sites, with no avail... Am I missing something? Is there another software besides Lightroom that needs to be installed? I'm out of ideas.
Cheers.

The list of profiles displayed is dependent on the camera used to shoot the image. Typically, cameras from Nikon, Canon and some Pentax will have a range of profiles whereas others vendors (e.g. Sony, Panasonic and Olympus) will only have Adobe Standard. I suggest that you check which camera model is showing fewer profiles than you expect and report back. Someone will then be able to tell you whether it's got a a full or limited range of profiles.

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.)
