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.

Or use the Calibration pane to alter the existing profile for maybe a better match to a camera JPEG which is a non subjective rendering by a ”machine”.

There is now support for the R5 and R6 CR3 raw format in the latest Camera Raw. 

Still no camera matching profiles for any Canon camera that was released after the EOS R. 😞

I actually ENJOY spending my time in Lightroom (mobile and classic). it'd be fantastic if I could keep my workflow 100% within lightroom with Adobe provided profiles AND still have a good baseline look that matches what the Canon cameras produce in their JPGs. 

(and yes, I know I can build my own profiles.....)

Currently there are no camera matching profiles for the subject camera within Adobe Lightroom Classic.  I was told to request it here.  Please update.

Thank you!

Yes it seems to be the same team previously known as Huelight but now called Color Fidelity. The Medium V2 seems a good match for the in-camera JPEG color rendering and will try it on some jobs today.
Point taken that if a third party can supply these profiles then it shoud be fairly easy for Adobe to offer camera matching profiles for Canon's new cameras?

Yea.  It does look like these are the Huelight profiles.  I'm going to try them out since I had a positive prior experience with them.  I'm sure they will be better than the Adobe profiles.

I know nothing about them other than a quick read of their web site.

Ah, thanks.  I was misreading that.  Thought he meant the third party was the camera vendor rather than a profile vendor.  Is this the team that originally used to make Huelight profiles? I used those with my 5DSR and was reasonably happy with them.  I might try these out...

As Willie said, they're third-party camera profiles, evidently from colorfidelity.com ($15 each).
