Canon 1DIII profile

Les12
When trying to use Capture One 4, I can't seem to get it to use the generic profile for the 1DIII. When I use the drop down menu to select a profile, if I choose 40D, 1Ds Mark III, etc., and click on my choice, it shows up in the profile box. However, if I select and click on 1D Mark III, instead of it showing up in the box, it seems to just go back to using the generic profile. If anybody can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

    Having the same issue. Just the icing on the cake of all my issues. I've shelved V4 in favor of V3.7.7 for now. Maybe I'll check back in when PO releases v4.1 but by that time I'm sure to have moved to another converter.

    What confuses me is that I know someone else who is using Capture One 4 and the 1DIII, and he is able get the 1DIII profile to work. He even sent me a screen shot showing that it was there. I can't figure out why mine won't work.

    I can get it to stay on 1D Mark III generic for one photo. The next photo in the group reverts to generic. There is a difference between 1d Mark III generic and generic. It will not automatically select 1D Mark III generic.

    While I can't get it to work on either of my two computers, I know of 2 friends who are now using Capture One 4, and they can get the 1DIII profile to work on their computers. I can't get mine to stay for even one photo. As soon as I click on it in the drop down menu, it immediately reverts back to "generic" profile. I've tried quite a few of the other profiles that are available, and they all seem to "stick".

    The camera ICC Profile is set by the meta data.
    Generic is what shows when there is only 1 profile for a DSLR model.
    Pulldown and you should see your correct camera model indicated.
    If there is more than 1 profile to choose, they will show as well.

    If you are PRO owner and have created/adjusted the camera profile ( not the Mk III) then you can pulldown > choose Other and set these as well.

    Also the Effects profiles are available as well... previously a PRO only feature.

    *edit* to change camera profile and apply to ALL other images >>> change camera ICC profile and Copy Adjustments > go to Adjustments tool > check Base Characteristics > check Camera Profile

    Thanks for the answer, but it doesn't deal with the problem that a number of us are having.

    I understand how the profiles work. When I go, however, to the profile choices and click on the one for the Canon 1D Mark III, it doesn't end up getting selected for use (doesn't end up in the box for profile). Instead, "generic" gets chosen. So, the problem is that it is not possible to choose the profile for the 1DIII. I have no trouble choosing any of the other profiles (at least, not the ones I've tried to choose). To try to say it differently, the profile is there, but clicking on it does not result in it being selected.

    Keith,

    This maybe how it's supposed to work but that not how it really works. When I go to profiles and choose the 1d Mark IIn, which only has one profile, it sticks as 1D Mark IIn. However, if I choose the 1D Mark III it goes back to Generic. And if you drop down the profile list box again you see Generic checked and then a 1D Mark III item and then under that indented is Generic.

    So it’s confusing at least and broken at most.

    I'm leaning towards Confusing...
    🤓

    What I'm saying is that the Generic showing IS the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III Generic
    There is not a loaner Generic profile in the program. Each Generic is affiliated with a specific camera model.

    My Theory:
    Working on 20D images, I can change to Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III Generic profile and it stays and it shows the full name.
    If I change it to KeithCustom20D, it stays and full name shown.
    As soon as I change it back to 20D Generic only Generic shows in ICC Profile

    Therefore:
    IF the Generic profile is for the camera model, Generic Shows
    IF it is another profile, the full name shows.
    Pulldown, the correct camera model is identified and above with check is the set profile.

    Confusing or Bug ?
    I'm open to thoughts and perspectives.

    I think that you might be right here. When I tried a few things, this is what I found. When I opened a 40D file and also clicked on the 40D profile, what appeared in the box was "generic". On the other hand, with the 40D file, I was able to get "1D Mark III generic" to appear in the box. Similarly, when I opened a 1DII file, all that I could get to appear in the box was, again, "generic", but I could, if I clicked on them, get either 40D or 1DIII to appear in the box.

    Thus, my conclusion is that a camera name appears in the profile box only if the profile selected is for some camera other than the one whose file is open. If the profile being used is the generic profile for the camera whose file is open, it would seem that only "generic" appears in the box.

    Keith,

    I actualy figured this myself considering when you drop down the list it reads 1D Mark III and then indented is Generic.

    HOWEVER,

    I think it's very confusing especially when used for the first time. I think they should just leave it as 1D Mark III, Generic.

    HTH
