I have created a Profile (xmp file) using Spyder Checkr Photo for my camera. It is stored in the corect place: Library: Application Support: Adobe: Camera Raw: Settings. When I use the Import Profiles & Presets command in Camera Raw, it goes directly to the correct folder and the xmp file (the created Profile) appears, but it is grayed out. So I can't import it. Am I doing something wrong? I would like to have it as an option in the Profiles listed in the drop down menus. Thanks for any help.
So I have figured out what is going on. The Profiles I created with Spyder Color Checkr Photo actually appear as Presets, not Profiles in either the ACR or the Lightroom interface. I have been reading up on the distinction between the two (Profiles and Presets), and they seem very similar. I still have the option of mulitple Profiles already part of ACR, and still need to figure out which is the best to opt for. I want the most accurate, as I am photographing paintings. I know the viewing enviroment will ultmately be beyond my control though, for most viewers. Adobe Std or Adobe Color seem best. Several weeks ago Adobe Beta was an option, but that seems to have vanished. Before becoming familiar with this all a bit, I thought something was going wrong with my camera, beause ACR was defaulting to the Adobe Vivid profile and many colors were just to saturated (like too vivid... duh).
Have something to add?
