Camera Calibration Profile
« on: November 17, 2009, 12:44:07 am »

I just got my X-rite colorchecker passport and immediately built a camera calibration profile as a test. The meaningless test worked and now I would like to get rid of it in the camera calibration profile list in Lightroom 3

I run on a MacBook Pro.

There seems to be no easy way to do this that I have found.

Can anyone help me?

hi robert,
camera profiles are usually in
library/applicationsupport/adobe/cameraraw/cameraprofiles on your harddrive.
quit LR , go in there with adminpassword and delete the one you've created and restart.
should be gone then.
cheers, stephan

With the default settings, ColorChecker Passport stores the newly created profiles there:

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/  (~is your home directory)

The standard camera profiles are stored where Stephan wrote above (/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/).

I go to the directory you specify and find two more folders "Adobe Standard" and "Camera" and do not find my files in either one.

When I save a profile in the passport supplied program it shows a window that has the file names I created previously in it but when I use Spotlight I cannot find the files at all.

Arrrrg, why cant it be simple.

Robert,
If you see the two folders "Adobe Standard" and "Camera" you must be in the wrong place.

Method 1
Start from your home directory, then open the Library folder, then the Application Support folder, then the Adobe folder, then the CameraRaw folder.

Second method should be easier:

Method 2

Copy the line below

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/

Then in the Finder, choose in the menu bar Go>Go to Folder…
In the text filed, paste and then hit the Go button. This should point you to the correct foldeer. Once opened you should see the CameraProfiles folder and this is where ColorChecker saves the profiles by default.

Or simply search the drive for *.dcp files...? :-)

Mr. Francois,

Your second method did it.

I am all happy again.    

Thank you and the other responders very much.

I can not understand why Adobe can't make a simple way of doing that within LightRoom. I know the extra profiles do not hurt anything and maybe they just don't want people deleting profiles and mess things up, but it seems to me that they should give you the option of deleting profiles you created.

Now if I were as neat a housekeeper as I am on my computer lol.

I imagine because that would lead to people inadvertently deleting things they shouldn't.

Basically once you have a profile installed, it is possible that you have images in your catalog which use that profile. If you then delete the profile, you will change the appearance of those images. The team doesn't feel at the moment that deleting profiles is a sufficiently common task to justify the additional UI required to do it.

Not that easy, Spotlight doesn't search system folders by default.
