Question

VSCO profiles with newer (unsupported) cameras

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to make VSCO profiles & Lightroom Classic CC/ACR work with newer cameras that have yet to be updated by VSCO? Especially given the near-discontinuation of VSCO I think many would be interested in finding a workaround for this. I've tried a number of different things but no luck.

To be clear my problem isn't with presets but rather the VSCO camera profiles.

Things I've tried:

1. renaming copies of existing VSCO Nikon profiles with the name of the new camera (i.e. Nikon d810>>>Nikon Z7 & Nikon d810>>>Nikon Z 7)

2. Importing profiles via the dialogs in Lightroom Classic CC and ACR in PS CC 2019

3. deleting the Index.dat file in the CameraProfiles folder

4. Moving profiles from CameraProfiles into the CameraSettings folder

Incidentally, I'm on a Mac running LR Classic CC 8.1. I'm specifically working with Nikon Z 7 files but I imagine that the solution would be essentially the same for any given camera.

Thanks in advance.

All Profiles for Nikon Z 6 II

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VwKObqjxIY5rGDtwhCSx4Ag_l3THK-QL?usp=sharing

if you need for Z 7 II, open each file with hex editor and change 6 to 7 line "Nikon Z 6 2"

and All Profiles for Nikon Z 6 III

Final solution without editing HEX:

1. Download DNG Profile Editor (from Adobe, but not on their servers anymore)

https://foto-download.heise.de/df2103/html/p32259.htm

2. Export a photo from a new camera as "dng", such as new Nikon Z f

3. Open DNG Profile Editor and load dng photo (File/Open DNG...)

4. Select "Base Profile:" your desired VSCO or other Camera Profile

5. File/Export Profile or Crtl+E

6. Leave the Filename prefix as a Camera Name, change only the Profile Name after a space sign

7. Copy new Profile to:
(Windows) C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles

If done properly, it should have the same result as changing the HEX values as the method in the video I posted before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMNemLondeQ&ab_channel=CarmenandIngoPhotography

Try both methods and compare for the best result.

As I don't know how to edit post, there is still a DNG Profile Editor hidden on the Adobe website:

First, a huge THANK YOU to those who shared their fixed files with the rest of us!! I have multiple vsco packs so i'll have to fix those myself but now i know what the correct syntagm is.

Now, i'm guessing the modified profiles work best if they're based on a camera profile as close to the new (unsupported) one as possible. My current camera is a Nikon Z 6 II. Does anyone have any idea what would be the closest camera model among the original profiles by vsco? So that i tweak & update the files for that model.

(My old camera was a Nikon D90 but i'm guessing the vsco profile for it wouldn't produce the same results when applied to the Z6II as there are so many differences in camera sensor and other specs between the two models. Right?)

Good gravy that took me a HOT minute to figure out (I had to use a method to decompile and then recompile the files individually), but I have the profiles for the Nikon Z9 and Z62 as well as Canon R6 here for download if anyone else is on the struggle bus too. I hope I will remember how I did this if future camera bodies come into play, agh!! Grab them here and throw them in your color profiles folder: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6wpv2hesm3i1v0q/AAAlFuRAfzDpZqVIdjQ07cuca?dl=0

ok, I made changes to my profiles and share them here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LVTRs_GvxXhfSKjcsHdP5upv69WMM1kY?usp=sharing

Remember to copy them to a right folder. And restart Lightroom afterwards to see them.

Hope it helps!

Hey !! Have you found a solution ? I'm soooo desperate with my new Z7II. Z7 was still actually working I don't even know why and the video everyone shows from Igor is not working for me since I don't have the same folders or files apparently. Thank you for your help !!

This works a treat. Time consuming but easy enough.
