With limited options and being buried at the bottom, Camera Profiles were rarely touched by most Lightroom users. In older versions of Lightroom the Camera Profiles were near the bottom of the options within the Develop Module in the Camera Calibration panel. Profiles have the potential to be quite useful if you understand how they work. If you’re using Lightroom CC, Classic CC, or Camera Raw and you haven’t taken the time to get familiar with the new Profiles, this article is for you (and there is a video at the end of the article). With this update Adobe made profiles much easier to access, and they also added to the functionality and usefulness of profiles.

Profiles had existed in Lightroom previously, although they had been known as “Camera Profiles” in earlier versions. In April of 2018 Adobe released a major update to Lightroom and Camera Raw, and one of the most noteworthy changes/additions involved Profiles.
