Hi there! I am hoping that someone can please help me out, as i'm racking my brain trying to figure this out.

 

I have Lightroom 3.5 - Photoshop CS5 Extended and both are up to date but I'm trying to get my ALR to use the latest Camera Raw 6.5 but it's not a selection on the drop down menu.

My camera profiles are there for Nikon D700 but i'm using presets that use ACR and it's old. -- i've removed Lightroom (an unistaller would be super helpful adobe!!!) but it still remembers my old catalogs etc...

 

I'm searching but i don't know what else to do... any help would be amazing. thank you!

    J,

     

    The profile "ACR 4.6" you see has nothing to do with the ACR version you're using. If you're working with LR 3.5, you're using ACR 6.5 technology.

     

    Adobe used to name the profiles after the ACR release number when a profile version was first introduced. So the profile ACR 4.6 is a profile first introduced together with ACR 4.6, but used by ACR 6.5 in your case.

     

    So it's just another version of the D700 profiles available to you.

    hey b!

     

    oh, so when i use a preset and it selects ACR 4.6 it's really using ACR 6.5? Geeze, I wish adobe would update that or let ppl know. I've been driving myself CRA-ZY reinstalling and researching. Thank you for your help. I seriously appreciate it!!

    Yes, it is using ACR 6.5 and a profile called "ACR 4.6" to render your image.

     

    Think about it as the profile would be called "D700 Profile of October 2008" instead of "ACR 4.6".

    If you are using a D700 the next version of LR and ACR (3.6 and 6.6) have some new D700 profiles which you should investigate. You can try them as there is a LR3.6RC available on Adobelabs.

    Version 4 Camera Profiles for the D700 available with Lightroom 3.6RC and ACR 6.6RC are excellent, but some problems have been identified with the Release Candidate that will not be corrected until the production release.  The Recovery slider does not work correctly with version 4 profiles in ACR 6.6 and I assume Lightroom 3.6RC has the same problem.  If you use Actions in CS5 to process RAW files, the tone curve selection is not honored (uses linear instead of selected curve) - correct curve is used if processed with the Image Processor in CS5.  I assume Lightroom 3.6RC may not have the curve issue.
