Lightroom CC and Hasselblad FFF Files

This may be repeat information for some, but I just stumbled upon the solution when doing camera profile calibrations to try and improve my colors.

Problem: I was having lots of issues with the colors of raw Hasselblad imported files (FFF) in Lightroom CC. Once getting into Lightroom, I'd lose what I thought was the best color profile that matched what I see in Phocus.

Solution: Go into Manage Profiles and ensure that "Legacy" profiles are selected. It was unchecked for me which I assume is default behavior.

This will give you access to the "Embedded" color profile in the raw file as opposed to the "Camera matching" or various built-in Adobe profiles.

My colors went from

to

Note: These are just screenshots of Lightroom CC as opposed to exports, but I am very happy to finally be able to work on the Iess washed out colors that I see in Phocus.

Thank you !! But I've just checked with Lightroom Classic, and the "Legacy Embedded" profile doesn't work for me. It gives colours way saturated when compared with the Lightroom "Camera Matching" profile, which is, for me, the best LR profile for matching the Phocus colours.
