There is currently zero support for .CR3 camera color profiles in Lightroom... especially since the newer Canon cameras use a .CR3 format... making it difficult to get work done. Only slightly surprised that this wasnt planned for beforehand since there still isnt a 64bit version of the adobe programs that i can use on the most current version of MacOS.

Must be a really slow evening...


For you, seems so. And unlike you, no struggle for me making those camera matching profiles.

It's hard to believe that the CR3 format is that hard to figure out. 

How many proprietary camera raw formats have you decoded?

+1 requesting CR3 Camera Matching profiles in Lightroom, specifically for the Canon R6.  CR3 has been out for more than two years (Canon R released October 2018).  It's hard to believe that the CR3 format is that hard to figure out. 

Please, Adobe and Canon, work this out.

Just how accurate are they? I'd prefer an average dE using dE 2000 formula if possible.

Thanks for this post.  I gave up on Adobe supporting the 1DX3 color profile and the Adobe basic profiles are terrible for this particular camera.  I spent the $15 and downloaded the color fidelity profiles.  The CF Standard V3 profile that is included in their package seems pretty accurate and using it has greatly improved my workflow and decreased image editing time trying to color match.  Thanks again... maybe someday we will a camera standard matching profile through Adobe.... but I won't hold my breath.
