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.

Even with the amounts at non-zero values?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Camera Profiles and Lens Profiles are missing in ACR 8.2.

    Yesterday I tried to install a new update for CS CC, but it failed. Then I uninstalled the app completely, and installed it again.
    When I opened ACR 8.2 I found out that there were no Camera profiles and LensProfiles (as it used to be before). Instead of usual Camera Profile was Matrix. There were no Lens Profiles in Photoshop  Lens Corrections either.
    The folder C/.../App Data/Roaming/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfilesDefault was also empty.
    I reinstalled the application a couple times with the same result.
    How can I fix the problem?
    Regards, Yulia

    Well,  C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Adobe Standard is also completely empty.

  • 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.

  • Camera profiles and Untwisted Adobe Camera Profiles

    If memory serves me correctly, mention was made a while ago about the Recovery slider within LR - basically how bad it was. Um? At this time, again if memory serves me correctly, someone mentioned something about 'Untwisted Profiles'.
    Anyway, following a link from another forum I ended up here http://thomaslesterphotography.com/photography/untwisted-adobe-camera-profiles/ and thought I might just give it a go. However, I am unable to locate the folder in which Lightroom stores it's camera profiles. If I follow the route (in Windows), Documents and Settings, User, Application Data, Adobe, Camera Raw, Camera Profiles I only find a index.dat file which obviously isn't the correct place.
    Could some kind soul kindly point me in the direction of where these Untwisted Profiles should be placed (Windows)? Curiosity is getting the better of me and I really want to (a) see what all the fuss is about (b) is it justified and (c) do these Untwisted Profiles really make a difference. Nothing ventured nothing gained eh`? lol

    ElliR,
    What a great move of Thomas Lester to publish all these profiles
    About the installation:
    Thomas refers to “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera”, which is where LR (and ACR) stores its delivered profiles. You can put the untwisted profiles there, under your camera folder.
    But, if you want to keep them separate (which I prefer), you can also put them into the user specific folder (this is also where LR puts its presets). In this case, create a folder Camera in “C:\Documents and Settings\your-user\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles” (this is where you found the file index.dat) and copy the entire folder for your camera from the ZIP file into that Camera folder.
    In both cases, you'll be able to see the new profiles in the Develop Module.

    P.S: These folder locations refer to WinXP. To find out your local presets folder for your OS, use Preferences / Presets / Show Lightroom Presets Folder.

  • Camera Profiles and Defaults

    I have been using CS5 and am about to install CS6.  For my two cameras, I set up camera profiles and defaults by ISO in Camera Raw.  The defaults include initial noise reduction settings for each ISO.  Will these profiles and defaults transfer to CS6?  If so, can I assume the noise reduction settings will be comparable?  Thanks.

    IIRC, all of those settings did transfer when I installed Photoshop CS6.  But I installed CS6 first and then removed CS5.  This broke the external editor link in Lightroom, forcing me to install Lightroom 4 again to reestablish the link.
    It's likely that you will have to redo your default settings anyway using the PV 2012 adjustments because they are quite different in some respects.  Noise reduction is improved in the new version, so I think you will probably want to reevaluate your default settings.

  • Camera Profiles and DNG Profile Editor

    I saw the lightroom 2.0 eseminar and the presenter mentioned Camera Profiles and the DNG Profile Editor. All I see is ACR4.4 and 4.3. The the FAQ page says I need ACR4.5 and I can't find it and haven't gotten any update notice. Should I just wait for an update or forget it?
    Don

    >I have CS4. Will this overwrite ACR 5.1 in CS4?
    If you have CS4, you should update to ACR 5.2. If you install 4.6, you will break your CS4 install. Either just run the Adobe updater app, or go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/new.jsp to download it. DNG converter is a separate download. Both camera RAW and NDG converter contain the final release version of the new profiles. DNG profile editor can still be downloaded from Adobe Labs: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles. There is also a profiles download there that you don't need if you install DNG converter 5.2.
