Importing camera profiles into lightroom profile browser

Hi guys

I've recently began taking infrared photos

The problem I have is that when I try to import my DNG file and camera profile into lightroom it doesn't appear in the browser.

in fact there are no camera profiles in the profile browser at all only the Adobe profiles.

I assume I have saved the profiles to the wrong location but it seems wherever I put the profiles they do not show up in lightroom.

ANY IDEAS would be great. thanks.

See below screenshot of where to find AppData. Your system may show 'Default' in lieu of a User Name


Thankyou. Finally. I had to go into the control panel and unhide all hidden files and they all appeared.

Thanks again for your patience.

Cheers

Best you place them in folder manually. The correct folder for your profiles is:

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

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

Edit: added screenshot showing location of custom camera profiles

Thanks. I have done all that but the profile tab does not appear in lightroom browser. That is the problem I have.

The profiles are camera specific. Therefore, unless the images were taken by the camera model that matches with your profiles, then the profiles will not appear in browser.

I think you need to provide more information on the camera you're using and how you created/obtained the cameras profiles
