Question

Why can't I see my camera calibration profiles

I am trying to use a camera profile created in Adobe Dng profiler to correct my infrared GX1. Also trying to use other downloaded profiles for my camera.

I have created a new folder with the other profile folders:-  C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.4\Resources\CameraProfiles\Camera\Panasonic DMC-GX1 and placed my profile in there.

When I look at the profiles drop-down I only see 'Adobe Standard' I cannot see my (or any other) profiles.

I am using the latest version 5.4 and working with Panasonic .RW2 raw files

Any help much appreciated !

I am currently trying to find where the Camera Color Calibration Profiles are located at in my laptop as I would like to transfer those same Camera calibration mirrored on my desktop. I can't seem to find where they are stored so i can copy them over. Can someone tell me where the folder is located?

I currently using Lightroom 5.7

thanks

If you are asking about custom-created profiles, check this page, for the location of custom camera and lens profiles:  http://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/lightroom-5-default-locations/

If you are asking about Adobe-supplied profiles, they will be installed every time you update the software so there’s no need to copy them, anywhere, and the reason for not seeing them would be that the current photo is not a raw file since most profiles are only for raw not jpg.

    Thank you! I found out where it was located in.

    I found it in here:

    Your custom Camera Raw & Lens Profiles should be installed to the User folders…

    Lightroom 5 no longer uses the shared ProgramData (Windows) / Application Support (Mac) folders for Camera or Lens Profiles. Instead, it stores the built-in profiles with its program files.

    When you create camera or lens profiles, they must be stored in the user locations listed below. If you previously stored custom profiles in other locations, you’ll need to move them to these user folders, otherwise Lightroom won’t be able to find them.

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

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

    For the lens profiles, substitute the LensProfiles folder for the CameraProfiles folder.

    The camera and lens profile file extensions are:

    .dcpr—camera profile recipe file used for creating/editing a profile in the DNG Profile Editor

    .dcp—camera profile

    .lcp—lens profile

    Thanks again for responding.

    User-created camera and lens profiles go in a location under your Users folder, rather than under Lightroom, so that they can be shared with other Adobe products like Photoshop.  The ones in LR’s Resources folder are from Adobe and LR knows which ones they are and ignores all others put there, as you’re finding.

    Check here for the folder location:

    Hi, that's great many thanks. I've moved my profiles now it still but still doesn't see ones I've created. I have a profile I downloaded from the web and it sees that now. It does not see profiles that I have created in the DNG profile editor though. The DNG profiler seems to want to save the files as .dcpr, whereas lightroom only seems to pick up .dcp files. The export to PSD profile in the profiler seems to export as .dcp but still lightroom doesn't pick them up either.

    A .DCPR is a DNG Camera Profile Recipe file.

    Instead of choosing File / Save Recipe, you need to choose File / Export Profile, which will create a DCP file.
