P: Support for Canon .CR3 Camera-matching Profiles

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.

    Color Fidelity has released the M6 MkII profiles (which are the ones I needed), and they work beautifully. 
    I did a few tests taking both JPGs and RAWs and they give the closest 'look' to what Canon intended (vs Adobe and another 3rd party I tried). 


    Totally worth the $15/camera profiles

    Color Fidelity have released new v3 profiles for the 1DX III and R5 and I received an email with the new profiles which are now XML rather than DCP.  the documentation states  The colour has been pushed very close to Canon "Camera Standard" as per user requests.
    First impressions thus far are very positive.

    Exactly. What I've also recently heard was cooperation from (in this case Canon but all manufacturers) is necessary and if Adobe could get this, they would like to provide such profiles. Once again with respect to proprietary raws, some manufacturers are making this very difficult.

    Link, please.

    Color Fidelity have not released profiles for the M6ii, but they have put out profiles for the 90D which uses the same sensor/CFA module, so I bought a set and edited the internal camera id fields to M6ii. They work pretty well.
     
    I have also made profiles by sending tifs from DPP to Photoshop, deriving LUTs from them and then making profiles in ACR from the LUTs.

    Essentially it said there are technical limitations preventing them from creating the profiles for the new cameras and they need Canon's help to get around them.

    Unfortunately, that link refers to older content that Adobe chose not to retain when they migrated the "community" forums from the old end-of-life Jive platform to the new Khoros platform.
