Title: Canon DCP profiles
Post by: Zen8 on October 25, 2018, 11:19:51 am: Canon's DPP. Does anyone know where I can find them on a Mac? I have looked everywhere, did web searches.

IF the question was about DPP, not .DCP profiles....
Seems the Google Machine ;) found Canon DPP here:

You have Lightroom or ACR? Not sure but maybe you can locate the profiles for that and copy to (wherever??) this product looks to access them.

Camera profiles is what this product creates. I’m confused about what you need

Post by: Zen8 on October 25, 2018, 02:59:36 pm: I want actual Canon profiles, not Passport ones or any others. That is easy to solve.

I'm starting to think it shares then emulated profiles, not actual manufacture files. At their site it says - DxO PhotoLab 2 now supports .DCP profiles. This feature lets you maintain the same colors even if you switch between several processing and RAW editing programs.

You can't switch between DPP and DXO. Canon's LR profiles are just emulations. Normally when I send a file from LR to DXO I use DXO's generic profile which is pretty close as well. However it comes back tp LR as "Color". You can't apply Canon or Adobe profiles, just those legacy, etc ones. I'll try out an LR profile and see what comes back.

I did find Adobe's camera profiles. just found Adobe's. Mac has 3 libraries. System, local and user. It is in the local library.

Application support - Adobe - Camera RAW

There are two folders. Adobe Standard and Camera. I find it hard to believe DPP would keep their profiles in there.

I'm still trying to find the Canon profiles to be sure. Working on E. Dinur's tip.
