New adaptative color profile not showing on Lightroom Classic.

Hi!

 

I've updated ACR, Lightroom Classic (v14) and Photoshop.

 

When I open a DNG or Canon CR3 Raw file in Photoshop, ACR opens and I can see and apply the new adaptative color profile (beta) to the file.

 

...But, the very same file opened in Lightroom Classic does not show the new option, in the Profiles panel.

 

Am I missing somenthing?

The new Adaptive Profile is a public beta in ACR only. It is not yet in any of the Lightroom apps.

There is an unusual workaround that many of us have employed for years. You can go into ARC and create a preset that uses the Adaptive feature.

That preset will the show up in LrC, and while you will still have to modify it for LrC, it still makes use of those functions. But LrC does change the preset from Adaptive to Camera Clear, while still retaining the settings and look that you made in ACR.

This is not a workaround and will not work in the current version 14.1.1 of LrC. Users will just have to wait for LrC to get the Adaptive Color Profile in a future version.

Why is it the Adaptive Color Profile not working with CR3 photos?

I have my own personal view of this issue.

The Adobe Photography plan is Photoshop which includes Bridge, Adobe Camera Raw.

It also includes Lightroom Classic which is an alternative to Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw so you can make your choice to include either one in your workflow.

Also included is the Creative Cloud ego-system Lr desktop and Lr Mobile.

My choice is to use LrC as my option to work with my RAW image and use the default option which is not to select  "Automatically write metadata to XMP" and I do not use the manual option to save info to the files, so I know the info is in the Catalog.

If I wish to utilize Adobe Camera Raw I would select the images outside LrC an use Bridge/ PS to open the image/s which will open the images in ACR where you can do your edits then complete your work and save to a tiff. This leaves your LrC work secure.

Ja wolę poznawać nowe funkcje w ACR i dobrze ze tak te nowości testują. A jak nie chcesz z tych funkcj korzytsat to przecież nie musisz. Niektore funkcje beta w ACR trzeba wlączyć. To je możesz wyłączyc i masz wtedy ten sam przepływ pracy co LrC 🙂

So, the same with the new Denoise function?...I keep getting the old Enhance Preview panel in LRC.

Yes, that too is only in ACR at this time.
