Question

Photoshop stripping Fuji camera profiles from Lightroom import

After editing a photo in Lightroom and then moving it to Photoshop from within Lightroom to make further changes, Photoshop is for some reason stripping the Fuji camera profiles from the file. 

 

This does not apply to other camera profiles, only the default Fujifilm ones.

Can a moderator please change the topic label from "discussion" to "bug" so that this appears on the dev team's radar?

Further update - this only seems to be an issue in files using Classic Negative on a GFX 50s II.

 

I does not happen when any other Fuji specific camera profiles are applied. Nor does it happen with any other Fuji camera that I have tested (X-T4, X-S10, X-T5, 100s, X100V).

 

I've narrowed this issue right down for you guys, please can you fix it?

I shoot with a GFX 50s II, and I have just noticed that when editing in Photoshop from Lightroom, Fujifilm profiles such as Bleach Bypass and Sepia are not applied. Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution?

Several months on and this issue is still ongoing. The link between Lightroom and Photoshop is fundementally broken for me and in the time since I reported this issue the cost of my subscription has doubled.

Yes that's correct, all other profiles outwith the Fuji camera matching ones are fine. 

 

I've tried everything short of reinstalling Photoshop but I've already had to do it twice in the last 6 months already for other bugs.

Ok, so if you use Adobe Color to begin with, there's no color change? It's only the camera matching profiles that aren't maintained?

 

This has been known to happen with ACR/Lightroom version inconsistencies. When you "Edit in" from Lightroom, the image is actually opened into Photoshop by ACR, but silently and without the ACR interface opening. Lightroom just passes all settings over to ACR.

No, I don't use ACR.

 

When you import a photo into photoshop it retains the look that has been applied to the colours and tones by the camera profile.

 

What I am saying is that if I have applied a Fujifilm camera profile to an image in Lightroom and then import it to photoshop it removes the colours and tones of that profile and replaces them with that of the standard adobe color profile.

Are you opening the raw file as a smart object, so that it reopens in ACR?

 

That's the only situation where there is a camera profile after sending from Lightroom to Photoshop.

When the image is sent to Photoshop with a Fuji camera profile it gets replaced with presumably the standard Adobe Color profile.

 

This only occurs when using Fuji camera profiles.

What do you mean by stripping the profile, exactly?

 

When the image is sent to Photoshop the camera profile is baked into the data. Camera profiles only apply to raw files - once the file is open in Photoshop the camera profile has done its job. Now it's an RGB file encoded on the basis of the previously chosen camera profile.
