Please create a set for me. I'm sure if they are excellent Canon matchings a lot of us would pay you for them.

1DX3 camera profiles for LR

If Adobe creates camera specific profiles (as good or as bad as they may be) then the new feature in Lightroom will allow applying the actual in-camera Canon Picture Styles.
How do I get to the new feature?
Have a go yourself it is really easy to create a 1DX3 RAW profile. The CR3 RAW file with a colour checker target is hosted on this website ((studio shot comparison), download the RAW and run it through either Lumariver Profile Editor or convert it to DNG and run it inside the free Adobe DNG Profile Editor or Xrite ColorChecker Camera Calibration.
Colour renderings are subjective, my results are pleasing to me but YMMV.
I love this feature with my Nikon Z cameras. The profile data and the lens correction data for LR is embedded in the RAW file. Now that is nice!
No thanks. I'm looking for the Canon version which is what I like. I'm not really interested in trying to do it myself. I get that you are fine with it but if I wanted to do it myself I wouldn't have started this thread.
I have created profiles in the past. They work... when they work. Creating a good profile is a non-trivial optimization problem. I read a post in the past by the main Adobe "profile" guy - he was also talking about the need to keep clipping under controls, etc.

You can copy the same success of the RP bunch copying the 6D Mark II profile and adapting, but in this case, using the 1D X Mark II profile in lieu of the 1DX Mark III (since they're essentially the same color response, or similar enough anyways)
https://community.adobe.com/t5/came...camera-matching-profiles/td-p/10413902?page=1
The alternative, is doing a CR3 > DPP4 > TIFF > Adobe Workflow which you can do WB and lens corrections in DPP4, dump to TIFF and finish the lighting in Adobe as exporting to TIFF in DPP4, will imprint the ICC profile (color response).
Or, shooting HEIF, and editing that in LR, but, now you're limited to 10-bit (vs 16-bit), and AWB adjustments, but, your colors and lens corrections are "baked in" and it's a lot more flexible than 8-bit JPEG.
Thankfully, the AWB in-camera looks pretty good and the 1DX Mark III supports live-DLO so HEIF isn't a bad option if it's light-lighting tweaks without WB tweaks.

All this reminds me of "Tube Radios". You had to change "this" and modify "that" and then transistors came out and all these things were standardized and you didn't have to experiment anymore.
This is "barbaric" if you ask me. There should be verifiable continuity throughout the workflow with the exception of production and post where you want to apply creativity but the the "mean" and or "standardization" and or "normalization" of color should be universal.
There should be "Canon Certified" workflow.
It includes the entire food chain through production and post and each piece of equipment.
Camera, Monitor Calibration, Editing Software.
I understand wanting JPEG, RAW, CR2, CR3 and Johnny Comes Marching Home formats but there must be some common denominator that allows for continuity.
Canon Certified Workflow could be obtained by working with a single vendor or partner or a number of them.
Does this come at a cost? Yes. Canon Markets CPS Platinum at 300 per year. They could tie it in or add an additional charge every year, say $50.00 per user or charge $100.00 per year as a stand alone. This rewards loyal studios and professionals who are Platinum and encourages more people to join CPS if they have not already.
"Canon Certified Color & Work Flow" could also use or copy the model at "Technicolor".
From the camera, to the monitor to the post software everything is codependent and works automatically.
Canon cam make this a profit center and the reason why you should buy Canon vs. Nikon or SONY.
"Canon Certified" workflow.... the time is now!!!

- Perhaps you start with HP or Dell or Apple or BenQ
- Data Color or X-Rite
- Adobe or Phase One

I gather Apple is already apart of that. I mean, what are you going to run HEIF on? Oh that's right, Macs and iPhones
And oh btw, you catch that snippet about iPad Apps working on ARM Macs now? Uh huh, all that time Canon spent coding DPP for the iPad, and only for CR3 files (hrmmm, same CR3 files Adobe is struggling with), just got translated to ARM-Macs giving Adobe a real competitor in terms of performance, if you're running an ARM Mac anyways.
Food for thought.
Big Sur doesn't go public for a couple months nor does any Apple Silicon for that matter. But when it does, it should make a splash as it conquers having to do it on an iPad, and takes care of WiFi sync woes.
Doesn't appear to be backwards compatible though. Suppose that's what DPP4 is for. Use it for the old stuff, and use DPP Express for the new stuff.
Personally, I'll gladly pay the $599-$799 for something I can plug into my 4K TV, and use a wireless keyboard and mouse, for 1$ subscription per month subscription and get my Canon colors back, without needing Adobe period or wonky CR3 > DPP4 > TIFF > LR workflow otherwise.
