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.

how can a small guy like " colorfidelity " have a better camera profile (not perfect but light years better than adobe standard) than the massive adobe inc.? when will cr3 support happen?

made a submission and now it has been merged, the question has still not been answered, when/if will camera profile for canon happen? I got a patronizing response but nothing that indicates if this is going to happen.  the adobe profile makes these images look like 1980 color, and if I have to use DPP or another program that ruins the benefit of LR as a workflow tool.

Camera Matching Profiles: 

Support for a particular flavor of a camera’s raw file does not necessarily mean that there will be Camera Matching profiles for that camera at the time of raw file support.  It is normal for Camera Matching profiles to follow raw support by one or two releases. In the case of some camera manufacturers or the event of major changes by a particular manufacturer, that time may be greatly increased. 

Note: Not all cameras will ever receive a set of Camera Matching profiles.

switching from CR2 files to CR3 and the adobe profiles are not good, this has halted my workflow,. I expect for a subscription service to keep up with updates, this camera has been out for a while and i am at a stand still with production unless I want to spend an enormous amount of time corrected the lacking adobe profile,.. LR is a workflow product that is now turned into a workflow stopper. Please help.

When will R5 camera color profiles be added to adobe products and why do none of the latest modern canon cameras have these profiles in lightroom. Is there an issue between adobe and canon that is preventing this from happening ?

"It is hard  to understand Adobe's neglect in this area."

I very much agree with that !

Or maybe they need minimum 2 years ?

Shouldn't they have fixed it by now ?
What about an announcement from Adobe about progression or reasons for not doing anything?

Lightroom is not for Canon users anymore, it seems. Very unfortunate.

Btw. Your link does not work.
