Adobe DNG Profile Editor

I'm trying to find the right place to post this.  I went to Adobe Labs, but ended up back here.

I suspect that the 2012 version of Adobe DNG Profile Editor no longer works on a Mac running High Sierra.

I've downloaded it to two different computers, opened up a DNG image file, and while some things work, selecting the Color Matrices tab, then trying to edit saturation does not work.  I get an error message.

Any advice as to who to contact, or how I might get it working?

The goal, is to remove the red tint from an image captured for infrared.

    They changed the way we are supposed to make profiles now. Go to Digital Negative (DNG), Adobe DNG Converter | Adobe Photoshop CC and download the profiles SDK. It will contain instructions on how to generate profiles that shift white balance, change saturation, etc. Basically it will generate a creative profile in xmp format that you can call up in Lightroom Classic, Camera Raw and Lightroom CC.

    As the link name suggests, this is the lens profile creator. That has nothing to do with the camera profiles discussed in this two years old thread.

        I have downloaded the SDK, and opened up the Enhanced Profiles.pdf

        That seems to be the instructions.

        I assume the old 2012 utility no longer works, and I will delete it.

        It's too late for me to learn all this tonight - will start again tomorrow.

        I assume I will be creating a new profile to remove most of the red from the image.

        I have also downloaded the "redblueswap" utility, which allows me to do everything in Lightroom, no need for Photoshop to swap channels.

        (Are there any YouTube videos on the new tools?)

          Last time I used the utility it still worked but I haven’t made any

          colorchecker based profiles with it.
