DNG file loses camera profile CS5

[christophf61464538]

Hello everyone 

I converted my Raw files to DNG to use them in Photoshop CS 5, since CS 5 doesn't support my camera's Raw files.  However, my Canon camera profile (Canon Standard) is lost when I open the DNG in CS 5. The only  camera profile available is Adobe Standard, not even other Adobe profiles. (On the other hand, if I open a RAW file supported by CS 5,  all camera and Adobe profiles are available.) My default RAW settings specify the Canon Standard profile ( both for the CS 5 Raw editor and the RAW editor on my 2024 Photoshop version).  The DNG conversion was done directly from the Raw editor of 2024 Photoshop, and the DNG compatibility set at Raw 6.6 and below, which is the version of the CS 5  Raw editor.  I even tried to load the xmp settings ( specifying only the Canon camera profile) after I opened the DNG in CS5, but the DNG is stuck at the Adobe Standard profile.   Does anyone know what is going on here?

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards,

Christoph

You can't use 14 year old software and expect it to have full current functionality....some things just have to go.

Which Canon camera do you have?

What version of Camera Raw do you have in Photoshop 2024?

Is Photoshop CS5 on the same Windows computer or a different one?

Thank you for asking, Jeff.  I have RAW version 16.4 in Photoshop 2024. I have a Canon R6 II, but the profile I am using, "Canon Standard", has been around in Canon cameras since 2005 or earlier, and is supported by Photoshop CS 5. My Photshop CS 5 is on a different computer, which is the computer I am using with my photography monitor. 

Thank you for your help!

The most likely reason is that the Profiles for Canon EOS R6 Mark II are not installed on the Windows machine where Photoshop CS5 is.

On that Windows machine are you able to install the Adobe DNG converter 15 or later?

That would install the necessary profiles.

Thank you, Jeff! Unfortunately I would not be able to install DNG converter 15 or later. I assume version 15 is the oldest version that supports the R6 Mark II profiles? Thanks again.

You can copy over the CameraProfiles and LensProfiles from

C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw

to the same location on Windows versions newer than Windows XP

On Windows XP the location is

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw

Here is Photoshop CS5 (ps ver 12.0.5) with ACR 6.7.1 running on Windows XP x64 after copying over the

CameraProfiles and LensProfiles with a camera raw file from a Canon EOS R6 Mark II converted to a DNG file 

using Camera Raw 17.0.
