Hi All,
This has been a bit of time in coming but I think I've got "most" situations covered off.
I have created, for Lightroom 4.x users, custom camera profiles for the X-Pro1.
Adobe, via Lightroom and Camera Raw, have been slower than normal to correct their algorithms in how their programs handle the x-trans sensor and Fuji's .RAF raw files. As such, they have not created any profiles for this camera.
The profiles I have created are, to be honest, far from being "perfect" or far from being ideal - mainly because the method, while pretty easy to follow, isn't exactly scientific. These profiles cover "most" shooting situations but, clearly, one could build individual profiles for each and every shooting situation one encounters. So, I kindly ask that you use these profiles as they have been provided BUT be aware that I am not going to be responsible if you feel the images are too warm or too cool or too red or too green or not green enough or not warm enough etc.
These profiles are in .dcp file format and were created using the X-Rite Color Checker Passport ( http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/651253-REG/X_Rite_MSCCPP_ColorChecker_Passport.html ) along with Adobe's DNG Profile Editor ( https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_dngprofileeditor ). Both of these items were used in order to create the .dcp file for the camera. To give you an idea of the workflow in order to create these profiles, this site ( http://dpbestflow.org/color/camera-profiling ) and the accompanying video will provide a good idea.
The profiles created are pretty much self explanatory and labeled as follows:
1) Exterior Direct Sun ( http://db.tt/mEtDeaLu )
2) Exterior Overcast Fill Flash ( http://db.tt/6HwMo8Ab )
3) Exterior Overcast ( http://db.tt/pRioStfg )
4) Exterior Shaded Sun ( http://db.tt/dcGEOicb )
5) Interior Mixed Lighting ( http://db.tt/ioz1FA0X )
6) Interior Flash Bounced ( http://db.tt/X7lFCI4m )
7) Interior Fluorescent ( http://db.tt/ylf7SuaR )
8) Interior Halogen ( http://db.tt/QprOsglP )
9) Interior Natural Light ( http://db.tt/mk6FXfP3 )
The only thing I think I am missing is an "Interior direct flash" but I never shoot the flash in that method; maybe one day I'll make one for that situation. The various "Interior" profiles, unless noted, are all shot without flash (i.e. the only one that actually used flash was, obviously the "Flash Bounced" profile). The "Mixed Lighting" profile was created using a mixture of tungsten, fluorescent and natural light - seemed to be about right so I called it "mixed".
Once you have downloaded these profiles, you can place them in the following directories (I believe these locations are valid however your system set up may be different):
Windows Users
\Users\m\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
(apparently that folder is a hidden folder so please be sure you can "see" it )
Mac Users
/Macintosh HD/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/
(note that this is in the USER folder and not the global one )
Start up Lightroom and you should see the Camera Profiles accordingly.
Please note: Feedback is welcomed but I am not able to answer "support" questions. I'm sharing these as you folks may want to use them. I found them helpful and I hope you do too.
Cheers,
Dave

Thanks for sharing these. I installed them and they work fine in CS6 Camera Raw.
I also have an X-E1 and would like to have profiles for that camera. Do anyone know if there are any X-E1 profiles available?
I wish Fuji/Adobe would include Pro Neg, Velvia, Astia etc. profiles.
Thanks again.
