I have the same problem. Can someone please post a link where to download the profiles at Leica? I asked the Support in Wetzlar (I'm native German speaker), they even didn't understand the problem. It's ridiculous, the profiles are missing in the DNGs. All other brands export also the in body profiles in their raw files. I am asking for this since the M10 became available.

Update

 

Downloaded a Leica CL sample (RAW) and brought into LRC. no camera matching, no special profile, nothing helpful

 

So no LEICA CL specific or matching being deployed via Adobe at this time.

I shoot RAW, it's DNG by Leica's default. 

 

Yes Adobe seems to be ignorong Leica CL and Leica SL, that is why lots of Leica profesionals started to use differnt image processing software.

 

Is Adobe going to continue ignoring major Leica cameras, that professional photogrophers use, seriosly?

Note

 

On a WIndows PC, looking in:

 

C:\Program Data\Adobe\Camera RAW\Camera Profiles\Camera\ yields few Leica ones, none for CL. But one for the C-Lux. Have no idea if the C-Lux will work for the CL, doubt it

Ah, yes, got of my rear end, launched LRC on my PC, opened a test catalog up, and yes, a previous experiment with a LEICA M (not CL) DNG file (no, I do not have a aLEICA, this was just a sample DNG of the web to look at another members issue)

 

So, might not be any camera matching profiles. Might be one special profile

 

In Devlop module, click on the current profile, select browse, notice if a profile listed as Profiles(1) or similar exists. See if that is LEICA specific.

Nothing on Mac. Since 201x - can't remember when the M10 was released. I addressed directly the Leica Support in Wetzlar, to me it seems the even didn't understand the issue. It's ridiculous only Leica has that problem. All other brands export all in body profiles into their raw files.

I see that this camera saves to DNG and/or JPEG. The RAW in this camera is  a DNG format>

 

So, are the images you are working on DNG or JPEG?

 

Camera Matching profiles do not work on JPEG  files

 

As for Camera Matching profiles on DNG files, I think they do work, BUT that may be if the DNG is a full Adobe spec DNG and not some subset DNG that a few cameras with DNG use. This problem may have shown up for some drone cameras.

Hi there,

 

If you have downloaded the Camera profiles for the Leica camera, you can go to the Profile Browser in Lightroom Classic, click on the + icon on the left and select the option to import profiles.

 

 

You can also place them manually in the below mentioned folders.

Mac: Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /

Windows: C: \ Users \ [your username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ CameraRaw \ CameraProfiles \

 

Regards,

Nikunj

It's not working, I spent 4 hours!!! today with Adobe Support trying to figure this out, person was useless and unable to solve anything.

Profiles are not loading, it's always the same (Adobe Raw, Artistic, Legacy, B&W, Modern, Vintage)

Camera Matching option never shows up. There is few Leica camera profiles already, but not for my Leica CL.

I been placing .dcp profiles and .xmp nothing works.

So frustrated with Lightroom!

Are you trying to apply the profiles on a Raw image or a JPEG?
