Question

Missing camera profiles in ACR 9.10?

Hi - I recently updated to Elements 15 because I wanted to be able to use the camera profiles in ACR, for my Samsung S7. I've used profiles for Nikons and found them very helpful.

The S7 is shown on the list of supported cameras, but when I try and edit a DNG file in ACR (9.10. 739) the Camera Profile is only shown as 'Embedded'

I've looked at a number of forum discussions but none of them offer a solution

How can I obtain a profile for an S7?

    This (old) post explains that 'camera profiles' (style variants from the camera) are only provided for some cameras (more than Canon and Nikon as said in that post) but many have a single 'embedded' profile.

    Re: Problem: I cannot see any of the new profiles in Camera Raw

    Is the DNG profile created directly as the raw format of your phone? In that case, I would not expect different profiles. Note that for jpegs edited in ACR, you only get one 'embedded' profile.

    Hi = thanks for your prompt reply

    In answer to your question, yes the DNG file is created by the phone.

    According to Samsung the S7 gives you the option to 'save as

    uncompressed RAW files (DNG file format)' and the S7 is shown in Adobe's

    list of supported cameras. I have checked that the file I downloaded

    into ACR is a DNG file.

    I've read the old post but I'm still confused. My concern is that:

    • If I download a NEF file from my Nikon D200 and open it in ACR,

    D200 is shown across the top of the screen and if I click on Camera

    Calibration - Camera Profile, I am given a number of options - eg

    ACR 4.4, ACR 3.3, Adobe Standard, etc etc

    • But, if I open a DNG file in ACR the banner across the top says

    Camera Raw 9.10 - C12LLJB18SM -- -- -- and if I click on Camera

    Profile I only get 'Embedded' rather than the list of options I am

    given with a Nikon

    I'm sure a number of people will have bought an S7 because it enables

    you to save photos in RAW and looked at Adobe's list of camera profiles

    and upgraded PS because they thought they were getting the same

    functionality they did with their 'old' cameras so some clarification

    would be useful.

    Regards

    John

    John,

    Raw files are 'supported': that means that the converter can understand the raw data of the sensor and process it to be an image file.

    Camera profiles from the camera manufacturers (Nikon, Canon and others) are recepes provided by those manufactures to get various 'effects', what you call 'profiles'. When you convert such a raw file from within the ACR or LR conversion module, Adobe suggests various develop settings to try to match the manufactures ones used for showing on the camera display and for the jpeg versions.

    Not all manufacturers provide such profiles and Adobe only tries to offer equivalent profiles for very common cameras.

    Advanced users can use the 'camera calibration' of the DNGconverter to create custom profiles.
