Friends:

I am running lightroom 11.3.1 , and am noticing when I upload cards from another photographers camera (another sony a7 IV) , that those files, while still .arw and not jpegs, will have greyed out presets that work perfectly well on my ostensibly identical files........ what gives yo??

many thanks!

Please clarify, are the two cameras identical make and model? Or different?

Same models--- Sony a7 IV's!

If they are the same model, then the profile issue should not happen, unless the profile is specific for an individual camera. What profiles are these exactly?

Your presets probably apply a (custom) raw profile. Raw profiles are camera specific, so even though both cameras product a raw file with the same extension (.ARW), they are not identical raw files and so your presets are not compatible.

These are custom profiles—— anyway to synch these up with the camera?--

Get a version for the other camera. If the profiles have the exact same name, then your preset should work and automatically use the correct profile, just like it does when you apply an Adobe raw profile in a preset.
