These are for the Sony A1 in LRC
For some reason I’m not finding it
That’s really weird. I just hit browse and it pulls them up. Do you have the latest version of LRC?
Yup just updated this week. Oh well I am not having any issues with my processing but figured maybe it could be even better.
That’s so strange that’s it’s not showing up

Look harder! They are there. You have to be in the develop module. hahaha
Sure they do. Hit the little icon to the right, the 4 small squares. It has to be a raw file. Can't be a jpeg or a tiff you bring in from another program or something you bring back in to lightroom after editing in photoshop. If you don't have them something is not working right with your Lightroom, maybe open a chat with Adobe support.

Ok a little googling helped. You can’t access this on the modules page but rather diving into preferences.
You can only see EXIF info for this image if you are logged in.

I didn't think those settings had anything to do with the "Profile" settings we've been discussing. The presets are how you can save a set of Develop settings and have it applied on import/preview generation which gives you a specific starting point in the Develop module. That saved preset can include the Profile you want to use for that camera but you should always have access to the drop down list of Adobe and Camera profiles as shown in previous screenshots in this thread.
Did changing something in the Presets section you show give you access to the Profile drop down now?
So have you been able to get the camera matching profiles to show up? They are supposed to be right there in the develop module, if you are working on a raw file, when you click the four little boxes to the right of the profile dropdown, or when you click browse in the dropdown. You shouldn't have to use this extra step. If you don't see them it might be worth contacting Adobe.

I am very interested in this process but have been on the fence what I need to purchase to do this. Data color Spyder and kit? Or, Calibrite? Id love to hear your process.
There are two systems that I know of. They both work within lightroom and come with a target card with many standard colors and a grayscale. Software is included. Since the colors on the card are standard the software compares what you shot with the standard and adjusts so the output matches. You shoot the target For each lens and type of light and run the software. The Color Checker is the one I like better. It yields a Lightroom profile that you pick instead of Adobe color or whatever. The Spydercheckr doesn't give a profile but instead gives a preset that you pick off the preset panel on the left, it modifies the HSL sliders instead of making a new profile.

Do you also calibrate your computer monitor as well? If so what are you using. The color checker seems to be a calibrite product formerly xrite.
Don't expect it to change your life. It's not very different from a faithful or standard profile, just starts you out with reliably accurate color. It will work even if you don't calibrate your monitor, but you will want a calibrated monitor anytime you are using your eyes to adjust the image.
See my earlier post.
Sorry to be late to this thread....mom passed away, sudden 2 wk trip to Calif, etc.
BUT - The raw file is the source data. Creating a camera color profile using Calibrate's Color Checker Profile to use in your raw processor (previously Xrite's Color Checker Profile) will ensure accurate colors in the RAW file. Calibrate your monitor to ensure your monitor displays the accurate color. Then process and adjust if necessary to taste! I create only one profile in sunny conditions. If your needs are different you can create profiles for various mixed lighting conditions. Using my one profile, I seldom have to adjust color.
