I am using Lightroom 6 and for some reason it doesn't have the lens profile for an older lens that I use a lot, the Nikon 35-70mm f/2.8. I use this lens, among others, on a Nikon D700 camera.
I was able to find and download a profile for this lens to my Macbook Pro but cannot figure out how to get this profile into Lightroom 6.
Here's the name of the file I downloaded:
D700 (35.0-70.0mm f/2.8) - RAW.lcp
I think, but am not sure, that I have to put the file into my finder so that LR can find it. Other than that, I am stumped.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might put this lens profile into LR?
Your custom Camera & Lens Profiles should be installed to the User folders…
Lightroom no longer uses the shared ProgramData (Windows) / Application Support (Mac) folders for Camera or Lens Profiles. Instead, it stores the built-in profiles with its program files.
When you create camera or lens profiles, they must be stored in the user locations listed below. If you previously stored custom profiles in other locations, you’ll need to move them to these user folders, otherwise Lightroom won’t be able to find them.

Ellen, do a simple search on google regarding where lens profiles for lightroom are stored.
Actually, I was reading Martin Evening's book on Lightroom 6 and followed his instructions on where the lens profiles are stored but I can now see that his instructions are no longer correct.
I never thought to search on google where lens profiles for LR are stored because I was following a noted author's instructions.
Shame on me for not searching on google and believing Martin Evening :-)

Thank you so much for educating me on the new location for Camera & Lens Profiles! I was blindly following what I read in Martin Evening's book, unaware that the location had changed. Fortunately, I have no other custom profiles stored so I don't have to worry about moving them.
Again, a hearty "Thank You" for explaining all of this to me.
