P: D810 Adobe Standard Profile missing - update lowers contrast of images

Your not being able to get to a location and it not existing may be two different things.

Hi Tim,

In the Finder, choose Go> Go to Folder...

In the dialog, type ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles and click Go.

That should take you to the location where you can drop in the profile.

Steve,

Your are quite correct, I did type "username" in brackets between the adjacent slashes in my post. i.e.:

Macintosh HD / Users / your username / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /

My point was that this path does not exist in Mac OS because Library is not in Macintosh HD/Users/your username/, but in Macintosh HD/.

But anyway, it still does not work!

Tim.

Steve is correct, where the instructions say you must substitute the user name for your account on the machine. And yes, ~/Library is shorthand for /Users//Library.

Sorry for the confusion.

Between Users and Library you have to put your username. The original message probably had the your-username between square brackets, and the HTML formatting on the forum removed all of it so you just see the two adjacent slashes.

Macintosh HD / Users / your username / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /

I think you can use ~/Library instead of /Users/your-username/Library but I'm not a Mac person so if it doesn't work just use the longer version.

Chris,

I can't get this to work on a Mac.

The suggested location seems wrong. "/Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles" does not exist. Library is not in /Users/, but simply in the Mac HD and I think that the intended location is ../CameraProfiles/Camera/NikonD810, but it still doesn't work! I also put the file directly in the CameraProfiles folder too, but to no avail.

Got any ideas?

Tim

Hi Folks,

As Robert has figured out, the workaround is to copy the profile into the user location in order for Lr, PS, and Bridge to load it. Below is a help doc that explains how to do this as well.

When we release a permanent fix you can delete the user copy of the profile, but it isn't necessary as each host app will resolve the duplicate profile without issue.

Apologies for the bug.

Cheers,

- Chris

In case some of you have not seen my post in the other LR forum, this is a simple cure for Windows OS.

1. go to 'C:\program files\Adobe\Adobe lightroom\Resources\CameraProfiles\Adobe Standard' folder

2. scroll down to Nikon D810 Adobe Standard.dcp, and select and copy this file

3. go to 'C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles' folder, and paste the Nikon D810 Adobe standard.dcp file into that folder.

4. It will then be recognised by LR when you next open it, and will appear at the top of the camera profiles list above Camera Flat as usual.

For macs I assume you just do the same but with the equivalent macos folders.

It seems to work for Photoshop and bridge as well as LR.

Best to delete it when Adobe brings out a permanent fix.

Concerning WB's fix, how does this work? Is it that these camera profiles have an internal name separate from the filesystem name (Like ICC profiles), and that the internal name is the important one from the programs point of view?

Does putting the D810 adobe standard profile into the Users profiles folder work in Windows, as it seems to do in Macs?

I'm just a bit loath to update my LR, PS, and BR again after having to go back to an older system backup to get the old versions back! So if you have any more info on this, it might help me to take the plunge again, instead of waiting for ACR 9.2

I used Time Machine to restore the last working version of LRCC on my Mac and it worked! The restored version has the Adobe Standard camera profile back where it should be. As far as I can see, everything is fine with the restored version, but I don't know whether the creative cloud will step in like Big Brother and stop me from using the restored version, I hope not!
