Adobe Default for Leica M11 DNG Import applies Adobe Standard and not Adobe Color Profile

When importing Leica M11 DNG files using Adobe Default (as shown in the Preferences / Presets -- Global setting) Adobe Standard is applied as the Profile instead of Adobe Color.  When I create and specify a Preset which specifically uses Adobe Color as the Profile, Adobe Standard is still applied.  If I specify to use Camera Setting, then the embedded M11 profile is correctly applied.  

As a work-around,  I can indeed force the Adobe Color profile to be applied if I specify it as the Apply During Import - Development Setting (right-hand panel when importing) and select under the Defaults presets - Adobe Color + Lens or similar.

@Like-a-Leica, I downloaded several sample Leica M11 DNGs from dpreview.com, and they all import with profile Adobe Color.

 

I recommend that you share a couple of sample DNGs showing the problem:

Then we can see if the issue occurs on other LR configurations and either figure out a solution or file a bug report.

Not sure this belongs under color management. It sounds more like a LrC/ACR issue. Which of these are you using - how are the files imported and how are they opened? What are the LrC/ACR version numbers?

I agree, this is more a raw file import issue.  I am using Lr 15.1.1.

I would be delighted to provide M11 raw (.dng) files, so that someone else could confirm and potentially resolve.

Thanks!  I’ve done just that.  It’s my first time here and I’m just a little lost.😄
