I have a Canon R6 and DXO PhotoLab. I would like to use Canon’s Landscape setting as a starting point for my editing of RAW files. I have been unable to duplicate that look using the DXO PhotoLab adjustments (probably my lack of experience?).
Is there a way to get the Canon Landscape DCP profile that I could import into DXO PhotoLab?
Thanks
Welcome to the Forum Rob.
I am assuming you are looking more for the colour profile that the camera uses to print the jpeg at the viewfinder screen after you have taken a photo. If that is the case, then when you are in the editing module under the colour space you can set the profile under the colour rendering tab as below.
Welcome to the forum @Robegul
Download and install Adobe’s DNG CONVERTER. It comes with loads of dcp profiles that emulate oem profiles. The profiles are stored in a folder which depends on whether Windows or macOS is used.
Original manufacturers don’t usually publish their profiles. Adobe’s seem to be fairly close though.
While there may be some workarounds, as others have indicated, that will give you something that may be close enough for you, there is no way to import Canon’s R6 Landscape profile into PhotoLab.

Thanks Akirstein,
I was hoping to find the Landscape-specific rendering. I know that it increases the saturation on the blues and greens, but I have tried this in DXO and it doesn’t seem to work as well as the Landscape setting on the camera. (I shoot RAW + JPEG and so am able to try and modify the RAW in DXO to look like the JPEG, but can never get there).
Thanks platypus,
I have downloaded Adobe’s DNG RAW Converter and don’t see any place where the profiles are stored (I have a Mac M1). I even searched in the system for .dcp and .dng and could not find them. I see online that some folks have posted where to find them on a Microsoft product, but not on Apple. So I am stuck…
Thanks Mark,
Even if the profile is not readily available from say Canon, I was hoping that someone would have found a way to recreate it. I believe that Lightroom/Photoshop does allow you to select Canon Landscape (I may be wrong on this - this is just what I THINK I read online), so I think Adobe has sort of reverse engineered it.

I just read somewhere that the DCP profile is installed as part of Canon’s DPP software
Thanks Joanna,
Yes, the Canon DPP software basically allows you to take the RAW file and apply whatever preset you want afterwards - Landscape, Portrait etc. It works pretty good for that but it is very, very S-L-O-W. To look at a before/after adjustment is painful. So I found that software very frustrating to use.
DXO works much better, and has way more adjustments, so I would just like to duplicate that one piece of what Canon DPP does - apply the Landscape DCP profile and then go from there.
Cheers
I think you misinterpreted my suggestion, which wasn’t to use DPP, but to use the DCP files that get installed with it.
Profiles are stored as shown here:
There is more than one Library folder though. check the following:
/Library/
/Users/youraccountname/Library/
I copied the profiles of my cameras and put them in one folder. This makes accessing the profiles easier.
Note that the Library folder under your user account is normally hidden. Unhide folders temporarily by pressing shift-command-period.
Aah. I see now. Yes, I have looked for them within the DPP app, but have been unable to find them. I see platypus has a suggestion which I will check out later today.
Thanks and cheers,
Rob
Yeah!!! Thanks platypus. I got it! Works like a charm.
Thanks again,
Cheers
