Can't find custom camera calibration profiles in Photoshop

I'm working in RAW on Photoshop CC2015.5.

I've created a camera calibration profile (.dcp) using ColorChecker Passport and saved it in Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles, but when I open a .CR2 image (taken on the same camera, same day etc as the image used to create the profile), I can only see the adobe presets (eg adobe standard, camera faithful etc), but not the profile I have created. I have restarted Photoshop and even tried restarting my computer, but no joy.

Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Many thanks.

I believe the Custom Profile has to be saved in your Home directory, not the Root directory

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles

Let me know if that works.

Some folders in the Mac, just as in Windows are hidden by default, so use the Finder's Go > Go to Folder and copy/paste the above path in the field.

Look in ACR for the your default settings for your cameras. Adobe stores the profiles it distributes for cameras in windows in folder: "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera\xxxx" There should be a folder like that on your Mac.... You can store you own custom profiles anywhere you want to. But You will likely need to add them to Adobe's Camera profile camera folder and and also create lens profiles for your lenses and add them to Adobe lens profiles folder.
