No Camera Profiles as Choice in Calibration Section of Develop

I have Lightroom 2.6 installed on my desktop computer as well as on my laptop. Both are running Win7 64-bit. The Adobe Standard and Camera Standard Profiles are not showing up as choices in the camera calibration panel on my desktop computer, but they are showing on my laptop for the same images. I can see the profiles for my Pentax K20D in C:\Program Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles, but they are not a choice in the calibration dropdown. I only see ACR 4.4. On my laptop, all three are available as choices.
The only other difference between the installations is that I had the Lightroom 2.5 and CS4 demos installed on the desktop before I settled on Lightroom. By the time I purchased Lightroom, 2.6 was out so I installed that over the 2.5 demo and just added my product key. Lightroom 2.6 was installed on the laptop straight away.
I don't see any configuration option for anything related to camera profiles and putting the profiles in C:\Users\Myuser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles doesn't do anything. I also saw somewhere on the net to delete the index.dat file from that directory and restart Lightroom so the profile cache rebuilds, but this had no effect for me.
I'm stumped. Can anybody shed some light on this for me? Maybe some obscure registry entry somewhere?

You might try downloading and running the Camera Profiles update program for ACR and see if it does something to make the profiles visible.
This is available if you go to
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
and then ACR 5.6, then the link near the top that leads to the manual update for Photoshop Elements...which is a ZIP that contains the profiles installer executable along with a 32-bit and 64-bit version of the ACR plugin.

LR2 Camera Profiles not showing under calibration

I am using the production release LR2 on a PC running XP. I installed the camera profiles and presets. The camera profiles are located in the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ApplicationData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera Beta 1\
I can see the presets when in the Develop panels but the camera profiles are not showing up in the Camera Calibration panel. "Profile:" is blank and to the right of that is "Embedded" - none of the profiles show up consequently there is no change when selecting a preset.
I had closed LR2 before installing the profiles and have read all of the FAQ's and anything else I can find on the subject but nothing addresses this issue.
Does anyone have a thought as to what may be causing this issue?
Thanks

>Does anyone have a thought as to what may be causing this issue?
The profiles will only work on RAW images. The fact that you see embedded means you are looking at a tiff, jpeg, or psd.

What does "Camera Profile" mean in the Camera Calibration tab in PSE 12?

I recently made the switch to edit exclusively in Photoshop Elements 12. I need help understanding what I need to select for the "Camera Profile" drop down in the Camera Calibration tab. I shoot with a Canon Mark II. Will the camera profile selection affect my prints at all? First, what does the camera profile mean? I go back and forth between Adobe Standard and Camera Standard. Sometimes I get truer color with Camera Standard than the Adobe Standard for my outside photos. I'm so confused as to which one I should be editing with. I just want to be sure this is not going to affect my prints because I just recently ordered a print from Millers and it was saturated, shadowing and skin had orange tone. I have never had a problem with my calibration and have always ordered from Millers with no problem. This is the first print I ordered after editing exclusively with PSE 12 so I'm wondering if I have setting wrong. Thanks so much!

Will the camera profile selection affect my prints at all?
It will affect prints to the same extent that it affects the monitor display, but no more than that. The differences that you see in color rendering when switching between profiles will be embodied in the jpg that you eventually make for sending to the print lab, but will not in itself cause the discrepancies you describe.

"Camera Profile" in Camera Calibration ACR tab - Q

I upgraded from PSE5 whcih used ACR 4.7 - and now using PSE8 w ACR 6.1
In the Camera Calibration tab in the Camera Profile drop down - I see "ACR 4.7" still listed.
Can someone tell me how to make use of this tab and how I can delete the ACR 4.7 and use 6.1 - if there is a benefit to doing so?
Thank-you!

I think the issue could be that I have both PSE 5 & 8 installed at the moment. I'm using the 30 Day Trial - and I'll uninstall PSE 5 once I get my actual disc & serial # in the mail. I did not want to uninstall v5 until I had the v8 serial # and was convinced that v8 worked well. During the v8 installation - it recognised v5 but said I can keep it. My concern is uninstalling both and reinstalling v8 and having catalog & stack issues.
I installed the camera profiles as Adobe directs "before" pasting the new ACR 6.1 file in the folder.
Nevertheless, I installed the cameraprofiles.exe again today - previous to posting this thread.
I guess a main question is - what would I be missing out on by not having ACR 6.1 in the profile? (vs 4.6)

Camera Profiles in Camera Calibration do not reproduce JPG look

I shoot on my Nikon D700 in "RAW + FINE" mode, which means that for each picture the camera records two images: a RAW file, as well as a high-resolution JPG file.
As is well known, RAW files often look washed out, since they don't have any of the extra saturation and sharpening settings applied that the camera automatically applies to JPGs.
Camera Calibration / Camera Profiles is supposed to solve this problem by applying some of those standard JPG enhancements to RAW files. However, no matter which Camera Profile I choose (there are about 10 different ones shown in the Lightroom dropdown), none of them look like the JPG. The "Camera Neutral" profile comes the closest. But even this profile makes the RAW image look less saturated than the corresponding JPG.
How can I reproduce the JPG look EXACTLY? The Camera Profiles give me an approximation at best, but it still does not come close to the JPG look.

I don't think this is a true statement.
Camera Raw does not and cannot not know what settings you had in your camera that affect the JPG ... things like high contrast, high saturation, etc.
How can I reproduce the JPG look EXACTLY? The Camera Profiles give me an approximation at best, but it still does not come close to the JPG look.
The point of shooting RAW is not to reproduce that JPG look. The point of shooting RAW is to give you more control over the final appearance than you can get from shooting JPG (in other words, you might get processed photos that look nicer than the JPG). If you want to spend your time trying to reproduce that JPG look in your RAW photos, you will spend a lot of time and get very frustrated and not have that much success.
If you want that JPG look, use your JPGs. It's a lot simpler and faster.

My camera profiles under camera calibration (standard, landscape,etc) are missing since I've updated to 5.6. I have a canon 6d and my computer is a mac. How can I get these profile back?

Please upload one of the files to www.dropbox.com and post a public share link in a reply, here.
Show us a screenshot of the filename in LR that includes the extension of the file.
Right-click on one of these files and do Show in Explorer, then show us a screenshot of the files in the folder that includes the extensions--maybe a Details view.

Camera profiles not showing up in Camera Calibration

I would be very happy if someone can help me.
I have lightroom 2.7 + lightroom 3 beta installed + I have downloaded and installed camera profiles beta 2 and DNG profile editor from Adobe Labs.
Despite doing so both versions of lightroom only offer me the option of adobe standard and embedded.
What am I doing wrong?

You are doing nothing wrong. That is the expected behavior. The profile popup menu only shows the profiles for the camera you are using. For the M9 there is the Adobe Standard profile (made by Adobe) and the Embedded profile (made by Leica and embedded by the camera at the time of capture).

Having trouble with camera profiles in LR3

Anyone having trouble with accessing the camera profiles from the drop down menu in the develop module/camera calibration section of LR3? The only choice I have is "embedded." After I created a custom with passport color checker it now only offers "profile" as a choice. ANy thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom

Okay, that is different. I have seen a similar discussion in another thread (I think) in the Lightroom forum. It might have been this one. It seems to have been specific to Canon cameras. I don't have an answer. Just one question, however. Are you using standard CR2 files, or are you using the sRaw format? As I was reading the other thread, I was wondering if that could have been part of the problem.

Camera Profile Impossible to select for Fuji X100 pictures

Hi All,
I hope someone can help me with this.
I am experimenting with a new Fuji X100. I imported my images (raw) with no issues and created a custom DNG profile with X-Rite colorchecker.
When I open a Nikon NEF file I can eventually select this X100 profile in the Camera Calibration section, but if I try to select this profile for the X100 (the one it is supposed to be used with) no way. The only profile shown is the Adobe Standard.
Any idea why? Any suggestion on how to better calibrate the RAF fujy raw file that I think are imported really badly?
Thank you!
Cristiano

Hi Jim,
thank you for your answer. I understand what you mean.
To explain better what is happening to me: I have created a color profile using the export/colorchecker passport. I used a RAF fuji raw file (in which I pictured the colorchecker) and I then exported the file creating a DNG calibrated profile.
So this color profile is now available among all others (my camera portrait, landscape vivid etc...together with the Adobe standard ones). But they are only displayed (and thus selectable) if I am editing a Nikon Nef (and I assume any other raw) file.
If I am editing a Fuji Raw file I cannot even see the just created colorchecker profile developed on the fuji file (and correctly I am not expecting to see the Nikon ones).
Is something elese I am missing?
Thanks!
Cristiano

Can't see a nikon d800 camera profile in adobe camera raw 8.2

Hello,
I can't see a nikon d800 camera profile in adobe camera raw 8.2
When I open a NEF file from D800, I can see in upper left corner "Camera Raw 8.2 - Nikon D800", but when I open "camera calibration" and click "camera profile", I can only see "Adobe standard, camera landscape, camera neutral, camera vivid" etc., but there is no "Nikon d800 profie
I copied .dpx files with that profile to: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles ,but nothing happened.
Strange thing is that when I open a NEF file from old Nikon D80, in "camera profile" appears: "camera D2X mode1", "camera D2X mode2", "camera D2X mode3". Any ideas?

The profiles that you see listed are the profiles for the camera that took the photo. You will not see the camera model listed. Those are the profiles Adobe created for the camera that took the image. You cannot change profiles to those of a different camera.
Apparently older Nikon cameras had the profiles you see listed for your D80. I have those same profiles of as part of my D90 choices. But, again apparently, those profiles are not part of newer cameras. I wouldn't know, because I'm still using a D90.

Image Change When Transferred from Lightroom to PS (?Camera Profile)

I am having difficulty that I think is related to Camera RAW that I hope I can get some help with.
I updated to v7.2 today, but I think the problem started today before the update. I get the image looking great in Lightroom and then either send to Edit in PS or to Open as Smart Object in PS (it doesn't matter, same results) and the image looks awful. If I open the smart object in PS it opens in Camera RAW and when I look at all the Camera RAW settings they are all exactly the same as the Lightroom 4.2 settings until I get down to the camera calibration settings. In Lightroom it is set to Process 2012 with Adobe Standard as the profile. In Camera RAW it is Process 2012 but the profile is simply listed as 'Matrix' with no other choices available in the drop down. In Lightroom, Adobe Standard and all the camera profiles are available for what I am shooting with, a Canon 5D MKII which I have used for years. As recently as a day or two ago I did not have this problem (though I never looked to see what the Camera Raw profile was when it was coming over to PS correctly), though I suspect it may be the source of the problem since all the other settings are identical
Any help would be very appreciated as I can no longer work with images until this is corrected.
Thanks very much,
Howard

Perhaps this is a clue to the problem? If I go to Program Data>Adobe>Camera RAW> Camera Profiles > there is a folder called Camera and another Adobe Standard. Within the Adobe Standard Folder are Adobe Standard files for multiple cameras including the Canon 5D MKIII, but inexplicably there is not one for the MKII. Likewise, the Camera folder contains folders labeled with different cameras. There is a folder for the Canon 5D MKIII that contains the profiles (neutral, landscape etc) but there is NO folder for the 5d MKII. What gives here? Is this the problem? If so how does one fix it?

Loading Camera Profiles for ACR

Hello All, I downloaded the camera profiles from Labs.Adobe.com, ran the setup which looks like it put the data in the "Settings" folder under the "Camera RAW" folder.
When I go to Camera RAW and select Camera Profiles then Load, a dialog box opens looking for camera raw settings.xmp in the settings folder, however, the folder is empty.
Where did I go wrong?
Thanks for any help,
Jan

First off, you need to post what version of Photoshop and Camera Raw you are using. Second, while you can indeed download the old "beta" DNG profiles, you may as well forget those and download the final shipping version which is part of the package for installing DNG Converter 5.3. Go to the DNG Product Page and download the 5.3 version-the DNG Profiles (the final release versions) are part of that install See: DNG Product Page
Then I think you are confused on how to use the profiles...when properly installed and using Camera Raw 4.6 in CS3 or at least 5.2 in CS4, the DNG Profiles will show up under the Camera Calibration panel...only when loading a raw file–there are no profiles for JPEGS. Also, the number of profiles and their names will vary by camera. You can _NOT_ load profiles into Camera Raw from within Camera Raw...if you are using the flyout menu at the side, that's the wrong way of using them.
You really need to do some reading...see the docs on Labs at the DNG PROFILES page scroll down and read the Getting Started section. If you want further help, post your system, ACR version and camera...

Camera Profiles Not Appearing After Download

Hello all, I properly downloaded the camera profiles (shut down Lightroom, ran executable, started up Lightroom), but none of the profiles are appearing. I have Canon 20D and 30D models but also it says in Camera Calibration is "Profile: Embedded". There is no choice in the drop down menu. I am on Windows Vista with full version Lightroom 2.0. Any hints?

>Profile: Embedded
This means you are looking at a non-RAW file such as a tiff or jpeg. The profiles only work on RAW.

Apply camera profile

I've imported over 2000 pics into the catalog and I noticed all of them were applied with the Adobe Standard camera profile, is there a way to change this in a single step? It's impossible for me to change the settings one by one. I tried 'copy and paste settings' but it didn't work because camera profile is not included in the copy action.
In addition, how do I set the default camera profile so that future imports will also opened with my camera profile?
Thanks,
ST

It's included under the Camera Calibration section.
You should be able to use Copy/paste or Sync Settings.

Time frame for Camera Profile Beta?

What might be Adobe's thinking in terms of releasing a final version of the new Camera Profiles? Not as idle a question as it might seem. It sounds like many LR users have added a new profile as an automatic Import choice; and as the weeks go by, significant numbers of photos must have been given one of these excellent developments as a starting point for further tweaking.
As the profiles are in public beta, and Adobe Labs state they want user import before finalizing the release; it is germane to ask to what degree does Adobe plan - or indeed need to plan - to provide compatibility between a series of profiles that might be subject to further modification, and those applied during the interim (beta) period? And also how long that interim period is likely to last?

The beta profiles will never just disappear. When we do release the final profiles, they will be installed such that both profiles appear in the calibration popup. The beta profiles will only go away if you manually delete them.
If the user choses to manually delete the beta profiles, Camera Raw/Lightroom will automatically switch any previously adjusted images using the beta profiles to the final profiles with the same base name.
