Q: how to load a camera profile???

hi:
1. i downloaded the various camera profiles (via adobe labs) and installed them.
2. question: when i open up an image in ACR (4.6), i can't figure out how in the world to access those camera profiles. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks. harry shin

No it is not a jpeg - the Ricoh GX200 records adobe dng raw files, this is definitely a true raw file, and the there is an adobe std profile for the camera, see below:
In fact after playing around I found a work round:
1. I downloaded and opened the camera profile editor
2. Opened a dng file created by the camera ( It shows the base profile as Embedded (GX200) )
3. In the Base Profile select Choose external profile and select the Adobe Standard profile for the camera (this profile was installed by the camera profiles download)
4. Without making any changes to the profile, file -> export profile
5. Restart bridge, open a gx200 dng file in acr and the exported profile is now listed in the profiles dropdown dogether with embedded (the original adobe standard profile is still not listed).
I notice that export puts the profile by default in my specific user profile rather than all users (it could be that this is why it now shows up - I have yet to try moving it to all users profile).
(BTW I am using Bridge CS3 and ACR 4.6)
Hope this helps someone,
Steve

How i load the camera profiles to lightroom?

i spend all my day for this matter. i can't see in camera calibration ( lightroom) the profilesi download . i can see only profile: Embedded
and nothing elas. what's worng?

You are using JPEG output so 'Embedded' shows with no camera profiles. Camera profiles are only available when using your camera's RAW file format. If your camera only provides JPEG output, then there is no need to worry about 'Camera Profiles.'
If you are using a DSLR camera, you can select that option in the camera's menu. Your camera manual explains what RAW formats are available and how to select them. RAW format (.CRW, .CR2, .NEF) files provide the best results in Lightroom.

How do I find camera profiles and load them into Camera Raw?

I did a clean install of Windows 7 and reloaded all my apps. Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw used to show my Canon 60D & its lens, but now has no camera profiles. I found a way to lookup the camera/lens profile in Photoshop (Filter - Lens Correction), but not how to save it, so I have to do it every time I load PS. I can't even figure out how to get one into Camera RAW. Doesn't seem like this should be so hard. I must have figured it out when I first loaded CS5, but now I can't seem to get there. I figured a quick trip to Google would solve the problem, but no soap so far. Lots of advice on how to use profiles, but nothing (except invalid pages) saying how to get the darn things in there to begin with. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you install the camera raw 6.7 update?

You probably need to search, download and install the other photoshop cs5 updates as well, if you've just installed photoshop cs5.

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.

How to set default camera profile?

Hi,
I'm using LR 2.2, and have the camera profiles (love 'em :)
I'd like to arrange that one of these become the default for new imports. How should I do that?
TIA
Simon

There are two ways. One is to take an image taken with the camera you are using. Then you hit reset and the only thing you do is to change the profile to the setting you'd like. Then you hold alt/option and the reset button will change into "set default.." just hit that and now all new imports from that camera will use the profile as default. Secondly, what you can do is generate presets that apply only the profile and simply apply them during import.

How to load Epson paper profiles in Acrobat for Mac?

Hi,
I'm currently testing different Epson papers to find the best type of my needs (Architectura drawings). I have downloaded the profiles from Epsons website (ICC Profiles) but when I open the print dialogue in Acrobat 8 for Mac, the profiles are not there, although there is some Epson profiles.
The link shows the settings and profiles (I can't seem to upload an image). The profiles are in 'coloursync' but Adobe doesn't see it.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.3
Thank You
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1055166/printer.jpg

I found it. I went into the Print dialog and under 'Color matching' I chose 'Colorsync' (instead of Epson colorcontrols) which brings up a list of all the epson profiles that I have made or have downloaded.
Works Great!
Thanks

I can't load custom camera profiles into Lightroom 4.3?

I have googled this found some posts about puting it under the Users folder. However I don't have a library under my username it comes under a folder called Shared.
I'm using a Mac computer
I placed my custom profiles in there , however it still won't work.
Can anyone offer any help in the matter?

Yes, it won't work if you put them in a folder called Shared. It's looking in this location: Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /
There should be a Library folder under your username - I've never heard of a Mac install without one (i.e. as far as I know, the Mac OS won't work). It's a hidden folder though.

Camera Profile missing in ACR 6.7 (PS CS5)

I have looked all over the place for a solution to this problem and so far can not find one.
I am running Windows 7 64bit, PS CS5.
I just noticed that my Nikon D90 camera profile is missing under the Camera Callibration area in Camera Raw (it had been there before). The only thing that shows up is ACR 4.6:
I have tried reinstalling the ACR 6.7 plug in...didn't work.
I really don't want to try to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop.
Oh, I have also looked on my computer in my C drive and found the list of camer profiles...the D90 is not listed (in fact, there are only 8 Nikon cameras listed in my Adobe Standard folder).
One more thing...I had CS4 installed originally. I have since uninstalled it. I'm not sure if the issue I am having has to do with that or a recent update.
Adobe should really have a seperate file that you can unstall just for camera profiles.
Like I said I have searched all over and have not found anything...I am really hoping there's someone on here that can tell me how to get my camera profile in there.

I recently installed Windows 8.
1. Can I get a ACR profiles for my Canon 1Ds Mk lll and my Sony RX 100?
2. Can I install the DNG Converter on Windows 8? This OS isn't listed as here as one of those suitable. > http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389
3. Noel, where are the equivalent locations on a Windows 8 machine? ProgramData doesn't exist, as far as I can see.
Thanks.
D.
Edited:
Ok. I found another Adobe download that said Windows 8 is compatible, so I installed the DNG Converter.
However, no cameras are listed under Camera Profile in ACR.
This is the case whether I load a Canon RAW file or a DNG conversion of a Canon file.
Any idea how I can get the profiles to load?
Thanks.

Can't install Lightroom 4 Camera Profiles in OSX 10.8.3

The way I tried installing is by dropping the profile folder into the following paths:
One path is: HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/
Another Path: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.app/Contents/Resources/CameraProfiles/
But the profiles do not appear in the Developer Module - Camera Calibration place.
Anyone have an idea how to properly install camera profiles on Mac runnins OSX 10.8.3
Thanks
Ben

Ok I got it,
By default OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 hides the Library Folder in users/username/ folder. What you need to do is unhide by launching Applications/Utilities/Terminal and pasting this chflags nohidden /Users/[username]/Library/ replace [username] with your computer username before pasting.
Once you execute the script you will see the Library folder and be able to place the profiles there, and it will work.

Camera profile help

I own a Canon xsi and do not know how to get Canon camera profiles into the camera calibration profiles in the develop mode. Help????

If you're using the latest LR (2.4) they come automatically installed. You will only see them when you use RAW files (so not for jpegs) and the profiles will NOT have the camera name in their names. LR will automatically only show you profiles relevant to your camera.
For your camera you should see something like six different profiles.

Set Camera Profile with a Preset?

I am shooting tethered with a Nikon D700 and I want to apply a camera profile (Nikon D700 Landscape) to each image as it is captured. While tethered, I know how to assign a Preset, what I don't know is how to assign a camera profile to a preset? Thoughts?

You can also fire one shot, then set the profile, then choose 'Same as Previous' from the preset list.

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

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...

Where/how to obtain camera profiles for Adobe Camera Raw 7.3?

Where can you get camera profiles for ACR? And how do you load them into ACR? Is the Sony A77 on that list? Need help on this one. Thanks.

Adobe Standard is the only camera profile available for your camera, then, if that’s all you see.
Adobe only makes the so-called “camera-match” profiles, with names like Camera Standard, Camera Portrait, Camera Faithful, etc, for Canon and Nikon and a select few others. I suspect there is a lot of work involved in these and they don’t do it for cameras they see as less popular or less used.
They wouldn’t be the same as the Camera-Match profiles from Adobe but you can create your own proilfes with an X-Rite 24-patch ColorChecker Classic and the Adobe DNG Profile Editor or using the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport package:
