Modify Adobe Color Camera Profile Settings?

Hi folks,

 

Is it possible to modify the Adobe Color camera profile to flatten out its tone curve so it doesn't add contrast at the end of the image processing pipeline in Adobe Camera RAW, Lightroom Classic, or Lightroom? I like Adobe Color's color renditions compared to Adobe Standard, but I want to avoid the extra contrast it adds with its tone curve.

 

This discussion states that the Adobe Color and other Adobe camera profiles, such as Adobe Landscape, etc. (except Adobe Standard), are not DCP files but XMP files stored somewhere in Adobe system folders, and user deejjjaaaa provided the folder locations on Windows: https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-discussions/where-the-dcp-files-related-to-adobe-color/td-p/9798827

 

Does anyone know where I can find them on macOS? I went to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings on my Mac, but didn't see any Adobe folder or Adobe Color XMP file.

 

My apologies if this has already been answered in another forum or discussion. If it has been, please kindly refer me to it or provide me with the link.

 

Thanks in advance.

You can manually create a custom curve and save it as a preset.
