P: Support for Canon .CR3 Camera-matching Profiles

There is currently zero support for .CR3 camera color profiles in Lightroom... especially since the newer Canon cameras use a .CR3 format... making it difficult to get work done. Only slightly surprised that this wasnt planned for beforehand since there still isnt a 64bit version of the adobe programs that i can use on the most current version of MacOS.

Edit a raw file from the camera in Develop. Click the Profile browser button:

 

If you see the profile group Camera Matching, then Adobe has supplied camera-matching profiles for that camera model:

Make be a silly question, but how can you tell the R5/R6 profiles are there? Do you just assume LR detects the camera model and applies the profile to the 'Adobe' Profiles? It would be nice to see them listed in the software somewhere?

"When I click on Color (next to Profile) there's a check mark next to Color, but it doesn't say WHAT color profile I'm using.  It used to say Adobe Color."

 

I assume you're seeing this:

 

You're editing a non-raw (e.g. .jpg or .tif), not a raw (.e.g a .cr3). When you're editing a non-raw, the default profile is Color, but when you edit a raw, the default profile is Adobe Color:

 

You can verify which file type you're editing by typing "i" one or two times to show the info overlay in the upper-left corner of Develop.

 

In general, the Camera Matching profiles are only available for raws.

 

"Adobe Support told me that the profiles aren't available and that there's no promised date yet."

 

Unfortunately, Adobe support is hit or miss (more miss than hit).

Hi again, I posted earlier about the color profiles of the Canon R5 in LR CC...the reason I posted this is because someone from Adobe Support told me that the proflies aren't available and that there's no promised date yet.  He said I could request it and gave me a link to this.  However, it sounds like the latest version has the color profiles for this camera.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

They are there now in Lightroom Classic -- I literally was waiting for this to buy a R6, and are now enjoying the camera-matching profiles. Both Lightroom CC and Classic have them.
