P: Update Needed for Nikon Zf Flexible Color Profile (Camera Matching) in Lightroom

Community Beginner ,
Apr 26, 2025 Apr 26, 2025

Hi, Nikon has released FW 2.0 for the Nikon Zf two weeks ago, which finally enables Flexible Color on the camera (similar to the Z6III). This enables users to create "recipes"/LUTs so to speak within NX Studio, and export them as .NP3 files onto the Zf/Z6III/Z50II. 

 

Upon importing the JPEG + RAWs to Lightroom (as of the latest release 14.3), there is no "Flexible Color" Camera Matching Profile on the Zf like there is on the Z6III. Please see the attached screenshots for your reference. I believe this should be fixed/added via an update to Camera Raw.

 

As someone who is 95% satisfied with my "custom .NP3 flexible color settings" on my Zf to achieve the images I want, there's only a slightly edit I want to apply to the RAWs. But, importing them into Lightroom automatically applies Camera Standard (and not Flexible Color, like it does on the Z6III). As expected, this results in a very different look and strong color shift since it isn't saving the Flexible Color information.

 

It would be greatly appreciated if this came to an update to Camera Raw.

Agreed! I've also been waiting (patiently) for the Flexible Color profile for the Zf. The Zf community has exploded over these NP3/flexible colors in firmware 2.0, so having the profile come to Lightroom would be the next big step!

This would be amazing! Especially since it already works for the z6iii, there shouldn't be a huge issue in supporting the ZF. Please Adobe!

Latest release of Adobe Camera Raw (v 17.3.1) on May 8th did not contain this Z f flexible color profile. Please update this!
