LR 4 and custom DNG camera profiles... they are not embedded?!

i have the colorchecker passport for some days.
my workflow:
import the .CR2 raw files from memorycard as DNG copy into lightroom.
create a DNG camera profile with the colorchecker passport (LR export -> xrite colorchecker).
then i choose the created camera profile and i set the whitebalance.
all working fine... as it should.
my problem is, i don´t want to have a hundred DNG profiles, i will sure create that much over the time, on my harddisk.
i think it´s messy and it´s also not very save to have the profiles only as separate files, in case you lose the profiles.
i thought the camera profile can be embedded INTO the DNG file.
i thought the camera profile is written into the DNG files when i write the metadata back into the files.. but it seems not.
it seems the DNG camera profile is only embedded into the DNG image file when i EXPORT the DNG file again with the LR export dialog.
for example:
i choose the camera profil "MY 5D MK2 PROFIL_1" for an image and then save the metadata back into the DNG image file.
then i delete the camera profile "MY 5D MK2 PROFIL_1" from harddisk.
the next time i open LR and select the same image ... the cameraprofile is reverted back to "adobe standard" and the profil i have created is gone.
when i EXPORT the image as DNG, then even after i have deleted the DNG cameraprofile "MY 5D MK2 PROFIL_1" from the hardisk.... the profil is still in the DNG image.
that´s what i want... but i have to export all files again as DNG files.
i would really like to get rid of this extra step.
i hope my english is good enough so you understand what my problem is.
can anyone share a light on this?
is this the only way to embedd the DNG camera profile or im doing something wrong?
intel i7 2600k, win7 64bit, 16 GB ram, LR 4 final.

possible.... but imho that can lead (at least in my case ) to problems.
in the case when you forget to update the DNG manually and delete the profiles (because you think they are already embeded via STRG+S).
or when you send them to someone without updating the DNG preview... i think that is unessesary complicating things without gaining a real benefit.. not?
afaik there is no filter option so you can create a smartfilter for images that need to be updated this way?

TS2755 For some reason when you try to attach mutiple photos to a text message directly from te camera roll they are not being send

As well other app where you want to send to a message iMessage or text
What you send doesn't get sent
I've verified with mutiple users and they are not receiving my messages with photos attached

A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
*There has got to be a simpler way.*
I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
BACKUP: It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR. Really?!
Yes, really

Custom DNG camera profiles only available for DNG files?

I developed a custom camera profile for my Sigma DP-1, using a colorchecker chart and the DNG profile editor.
I exported the DNG profile in the default location.
When I open Lightroom or ACR, the new profile is not available for X3F files, only DNG files. Is this normal???

Well, I've imported the original X3F file as well as the converted DNG file in Lightroom.
When I develop the DNG file, my custom profile appears in the list. When I click on the X3F file, embedded* is the only option.
It may have to do with an incomplete support of the X3F format. I have just repeated the exercise for my D300, and in this case the custom profile is available for NEF files.
Too bad since I'm happy with some of the Adobe camera profiles for the D300, but less so with the default look for Sigma DP-1 files.
I guess I should file a bug report...
* or "matrix" or whatever is the term in the english version, I have the french version which says "incorporé"

Why do my anchor points and triggers jump to anchors they are not assigned to?

Hello again,
I am still tinkering away on my school project Adobe Muse page, but there are just some glitches I can't get under control. The biggest issue is by far the problem with the anchors. I followed a tutorial to the T creating them, but the triggers to not jump reliable to the area they are suppost to go to.
I have a long horizontal image scroll on which I placed "bubbles" (my links) to visit the sub-pages. Then the user is supposed to be able to return to the same place in the image that he has left from, but this is where things go wrong. The further down the image (probably also depending on how many sub-pages you have visited) the jumps seem to go more erratic.
Since explaing this is really tricky without an example I already uploaded a copy of my entire Muse page including assets to a dropbox folder. If somebody would be willing to take a look and tell my what it is that I am doing wrong.
In addition, I have some fixed objects in some of the sub-pages but they jump from where I plced them on the page to about 40+ pix to the right in the preview/published view. Why??
Still incredible confused...

Judy,
Give this a try:
*+Your signatures are stored as webarchive files in your <home>/Library/Mail/Signatures folder. There should be a webarchive file for each signature and they in turn are referenced in a SignaturesByAccount.plist file within the same folder. It is possible that the plist file has become corrupted and/or the signature files are corrupted. Move the SignaturesByAccount.plist file to the desktop and then re-create your signatures to see if that resolves the problem.+*
I found that on another post (Thanks 2point5!)
After you move the SignaturesByAccount.plist to the desktop and recreate the signatures, make sure you then go ahead and trash it. A new one will be made in the Signatures folder.
So far this has worked for me.
Good Luck
John

Verizon took deposit money from me, can't track my order and now they are not refunding deposit to me

Hi,
On 8th Feb 2015, I called Verizon customer care for internet FIOS account setup and initiated the same with the CCE named Jenine, in this process she took my SSN #, Debit card # and charged me $100 from my account as a deposit money without completing my order and she didn't gave me any account number or order number and call got disconnected, now when I am calling Verizon customer care for my order status or refund of my deposit money back, NOBODY absolutely NOBODY is helping me to get my deposit back, each department is saying that they don't handle this, talked with customer care, financial team, payment and billing, sales and order all of them trying to fool me around, also customer care is saying they are not able to fetch my account details as order was not completed and so on...I am having very horrible experience and difficult time talking to all the Verizon representative and get my money back. As a proof I have my bank statement which shows Verizon charged me $100 with transaction number.
Is there anyone who can help me out here or else do I to file legal complaint against Verizon.
Fahim Sayyed

The transaction number on your bank account may help track the transaction with Verizon so you can get a refund.

Looking inside of DNG Camera Profiles and editing them

For those interested in the insides of DNG Camera profiles, and how to edit them, I've written dcpTool.
dcpTool is a compiler/decompiler for DNG camera profiles (.dcp files). dcpTool can decompile binary format DCP files into an XML format for editing with a text editor or whatever, and then compile the XML format file back into a binary DCP file, as well as extract embedded profiles from DNG files. It runs on Windows and OS X command lines, and is based on V1.2 of the DNG SDK.
See here: http://dcptool.sourceforge.net/
Health warning: dcpTool is a command line utility - if you're not comfortable with command line stuff, dcpTool probably won't be of any interest to you.

Very cool, thanks for the info.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

DNG camera profile - which to trust, Adobe's or X-Rite's?

I found that dual-illuminant DNG camera profiles created with X-Rite's ColorChecker application and Adobe's DNG Profile Editor give different visual results (the profiles were produced using the same set of 6500K/2850K illuminated photos). I'm now in trouble which profile(s) to trust, I assume Adobe's is correct...

I like the DNG Profile Editor better.
Me too. The purpose of the twisting is for more pleasing color. Cool dark greens, but warmer light greens; dark midnight blues, but warmer cyany light blues, deep dark reds, but warmer light reds...
Note: this exagerates what often happens in real life: shadows are cool, sunlit colors are warmer...
The linear profiles may be more accurate, but the twisted profiles may look better.
Obviously this is subjective, and may depend on the shot and the purpose for it...
My favorite profile is a customized version of Adobe Standard created with DNG Profile Editor - a little dimmer in the upper-midtones/lower-highlights, a little less cyany blues, a little cooler greens, and slightly warmer (less magenta-y) reds.

I used "my documents" for the profile folder, I removed the profile and firefox asked if i want to remove its file, and it took ALL my file except a few, all my photographs etc, are these now unrecoverable? as they are not in the recycle bin

disaster, thanks firefox 1 year of photos lost

Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again.

DNG Camera Profile vs. White Balance?

I'm having trouble understanding DNG Camera Profiles and haven't found a good explanation online. I understand that each camera or camera/lens combination will have some variations, and I understand the white balance process. But I haven't grasped the idea that I can create a usable profile using one or two ColorChecker shots in conditions that aren't tightly controlled. For example, if I create a DNG Camera Profile using my tungsten lights, how does that help correct photos shot using different slightly warmer or cooler lights? How does the profile taken at an unknown color temperature help correct for another color temperature? And (more fundamentally) how is what the DNG Camera Profiles do different from a white balance adjustment? Feel free to just point me towards an existing explanation. I've read a lot about camera profiles, but I still don't quite get it. Thanks.

See this Luminance Landscape thread about dual illuminant profiles:
http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=43733
If you scroll down to where I (tlooknbill) posted Color Checker chart samples, you'll see the visual differences.
Your camera may deliver different results.

Help me understand matrix profiles (DNG camera profiles)

I'm guessing it's a fairly simple question, so please bear with me as I'm working my way round trying to understand the DNG format:
After the de-bayering step, are DNG camera profiles pure 3-channel mathematical curves? I know Adobe DNG editor allows for adjustments from the Color-checker patches & there's some hue sliders etc, but do these build into RGB curves, or is it some kind of additional mild LUT (or something else) applied over the top?
Thanks!
Bert

Feature Request: Opcodes in DNG Camera Profiles?

We now have V1.3 of the DNG spec, with support for opcodes, which is great.
Now, can we the ability to put opcodes in DNG camera profiles?
Given all the hard work has already been done to support opcodes, this would seem to me to be a really value adding thing to do. It would allow profiles to be created that support specific camera/lens combinations. E.g., it would allow the Leica M8's famous "Cyan corners" vignetting problem on uncoded wide ange lenses to be addressed by a profile rather than having to rewrite all the image's raw data.
Thanks,
Sandy

The files are in this directory on my Vista machine and my Win7 machine.
How far do you get when you try to click down to that path in Explorer: C:\ ?
If so:
C:\ProgramData is a hidden directory.
You can enable visibility of hidden files and folders by going to:
My Computer / Alt-Tools / Folder options... / View
and near the top you will find Hide and Show hidden files options.
However, you can also just open My Computer and type c:\programdata into the Address area and hit Enter and you'll be in that folder despite it being hidden, then click your way down to where you need to be.

You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
Tap iCloud.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
In the Backups section, tap your device.
In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.
