Question

Color profiles gone, can't add new ones

Recently updated to new LrC version 10.2 & Adobe camera Raw 13.2.

 

Since then, when I import a photo, and go to develop, I can no longer see some of my treatment profiles that are usually there. I like to use the Neutral profile, or Landscape, but they aren't there anymore. I just have Color & Monochrome, and also the folders of Artistic, B&W, Modern and Vintage.

 

I have manually found the folder that contains the Adobe Neutral.xmp and Adobe Landscape.xmp files, they're in Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Camera Raw > Settings > Adobe > Profiles > Adobe Raw.

 

When I try to manually import them in profile browser in lightroom, an error message comes up (Unable to import profiles, All items were already imported).

 

So why can I not see them then if they are already imported?

You may find answers in this 2018 interesting forum thread at-

Apparently Adobe do not always provide Profiles for all raw formats, and all DNG files are not necessarily 'raw' data- they can be RGB data stored in the DNG file 'wrapper'. ie. not 'raw' files.

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

    The Adobe Neutral and Landscape profiles are only for raw files.

    They won't show up if you're working with RGB files, like jpg or Tiff.
