Question

Lightroom 6 Camera Calibration profiles missing

Hi, I'm using Lightroom 6 and always change the Camera Calibration to my camera, a Pentax K1, at the start of my workflow. I don't know why, but it is now stuck on 'embedded', I know this happens with JPEGs but my files are DNG.Also, it's not just my newer imports, but all of the files going back years.

I think the issue arose following a recent camera RAW update.

How do I get my camera profiles back?

Thanks

Camera profiles are shared between Lightroom and Camera Raw, so an update of Camera Raw could remove a profile. It's strange that Adobe would do that, however. Why would they? I checked on my Mac and an Adobe camera profile for the Pentax K-1 is still present on my computer.

Lightroom 6 cannot be updated with a camera raw plug-in. That technology is part of the Lightroom program. The camera raw plug-in is for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. I don't know if updating for either one of those programs would have affected Lightroom 6 or not.

Thanks for the reply.

After some more research, I've found that the Pentax K1 no longer has camera profiles in lightroom 6.

I've looked here - c:\program\adobe\adobe lightroom\resources\cameraprofiles\camera\ and there is no longer a Pentax K1 profile directory. There are still profiles for the Pentax K-7, K10D,K20D and K200D but the K1 has been removed.

This is something that has happened recently as I've always had the option previously.

What's going on?
