CS2 question  Filter- Distort- Lens Correction

Comrades...
When using the lens correction pane (Filter-> Distort-> Lens Correction) in CS2 I have never been able to use the hand tool to move a scaled (or not) image within the preview window. It just doesn't function.
eg., when correcting for vertical perspective the upper portion of the image is "cropped" by the top of the preview window and additional transparent canvass appears at the bottom. I'd like to pull the image down to center it but alas... no functioning hand tool.
Is this tool just broken or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for your advice.
(Intel and older G4 mac- same problem)

What I think you're looking for is a Move Tool not a Hand Tool.
The Hand tool is for navigating in an image. It doesn't move the pixels around.
The Move Tool is for actually moving the pixels around on the canvas.
There appears to be no such tool in lens correction.

  • Filter distort lens correction perspective

    In using this filter, half the frame gets smaller and half the frame gets bigger, so which resampling method is being used since bigger and smaller have their own best methods?

    Steve, you are in the wrong forum, try the Photoshop forum where this question belongs.
    besides that. Using perspective can also be done in the Transform menu (cmdA - CmdT) will give you the frame with little squares. Using right mouse click gives you various options to transform the image in a better way then the lens correction does. This filter is better for pin and cushen problems...

  • Why is my new imac i7 (os 10.6.4)crash every time I am in CS5 using filter tool-lens correction?

    In the middle of using lens correction tool or noise reduction filter, my new imac crashs, I have lightroom sometimes on, and Firefox brawser with music streming, any ideas why?

    Maybe updating might help as you seem to be behind with the OS and don’t even mention Photoshop’s exact version.

  • Use Lens Correction or Transform/Skew for Vertical Perspective??

    I recently visited the Redwoods in California and took many photos of trees with a wide angle lens, which as you know causes the trees to bend inwards. I have tried using both Filter/Distort/Lens Correction and Transform/Skew to attempt to correct the problem. It is my observation that Lens Correction reduces the number of pixels by producing a trapezoid shaped image with the sides slanting inwards. Skewing does the opposite: increases the pixels by creating a trapezoid with the sides slanting outwards.
    What are the pros and cons of using each method to correct vertical perspective? How will the image quality differ with each method? Thanks!!

  • CS4 Lens correction filter/grid & color

    In Distort>Lens Correction filter, the default grid is 16 and the color gray. Is there any way to change that so it stays to what you choose?
    Everytime I change it, it changes back to the default settings when I use it again. How do you get your own settings to stick? Is it possible....what's the trick? I can't seem to find the preferences for this...if they even exist.

    I think so..thanks you for sharing

  • PS CS2: Running Lens Correction Distortion filter results in hang

    Hi all--I want to use the lens distortion correction filter, but every time I try to bring it up it just results in the spinning beach ball.
    I tried to delete the preferences file but it's not where it should be: ~/library/preferences/adobe/photoshop/etc.
    I found the above information here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=331483&sliceId=1
    So, now I'm at a loss. Other possibly pertinent info: Mac OS 10.4.11 (but it did it before the latest update), Photoshop 9.0.2.
    Please advise. THANKS!
    --d
    [edit]: I recently did a reinstall of the suite, hoping that would help. No luck.

    Update:
    I tried to run some of the other filters and although they do not cause a crash/hang, they definitely take a few seconds to work. The Lens Correction filter is still causing a hang, but the other filters are working. (I guess more RAM is in order... soon enough I'm going to have to update everything and will need it...)
    Anyway, I did change the RAM requirements as suggested but haven't seen any improvement.
    I have just purchased Disk Warrior, so I'm expecting to receive it in the next couple days, and will run it when I get it. (I have been advised more than once to purchase it.) I have run Cocktail as well, with no change in behavior.
    The thing that gets me is that the photo I want to correct is only 17mb. It's not like it's a monster... and why just the one filter and not all of them? Can I just reinstall the one?
    Anyway, if anyone else has any ideas, please let me know.
    Thank you!

  • Vingette, from distortion filter lens correction

    Lens correction, and therefore vingette does not apper in my distort filter drop down menu in cs5????? can I put this in to this filter or is it somewhere else.
    thaanks Denise

    The Lens Correction adjustment appears right below the "filter gallery" in your filter menu in CS5. You can use the keyboard shortcut "Shift+Cmd/Control+R". You can also opt to open your image up in camera raw, and access the lens correction options from there.

  • PS CS2 lens correction causes "Maximize Compatibility" issue in LR

    Question: why does PS CS2/3 convert the layer "Background" to "Layer 0"?
    This is the problem (and solution):
    I encountered the widely discussed "Maximize Compatiblity" issue with a bunch of PSD files (slide scans) that contained only one layer. Puzzled as I was that the layer thing apparently could not cause the problem, I reopened some of those files in PS CS3 and I noticed that each of them had had a lens correction. Just to make sure I was on the right track I applied a lens correction to a file that had been already imported into LR successfully and used the SaveAs command and unchecked the Maximize Compatibility option. The new file could not be imported into LR. So no more lens corrections? - I thought.
    A closer look on the troublesome files made me learn the (only) layer had been renamed from "Background" to "Layer 0" after the lens correction was made. I used the "Flatten Image" command and this turned it back into "Background". After this, the file could be imported into LR without a problem.
    I can now apply this trick to all troublesome files that have had lens corrections and thus avoid the huge increase in file size (130MB is a lot already).
    Now I write this for those of you who have the same problem and are still puzzled (to help out) but I also would like to have some insight into why PS CS2/3 lens corrections mess with the layers.
    Thanks.

    >My conclusion would be that LR can only import PSD files that meet the following requirements:
    >1. must contain only one layer
    >2. that layer must be called "Background"
    Your conclusion is only partially correct.
    Lightroom will import multi-layered PSD files that have been saved with the preference for "Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility" set to On. This is clearly stated in the Release Notes and Help documents:
    >Photoshop format (PSD)
    >Photoshop format (PSD) is the standard Photoshop file format. To import and work with a multi-layered PSD file in Lightroom, the file must have been saved in Photoshop with the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility preference turned on. Youll find the option in the Photoshop file handling preferences. Lightroom saves PSD files with a bit depth or 8 bits or 16 bits per channel.
    As to the original point -
    PS CS2 lens correction causes "Maximize Compatibility" issue in LR.
    Photoshop renaming Background Layer to Layer 0 is a Photoshop issue, not Lightroom. When it occurs the files effectively becomes a multi-layered file, even if there is only one layer (i.e layer 0). Why using the Lens Correction filter causes the background layer to be renamed is currently unclear, but I have raised it in the "appropriate" place. In the meantime, I recommend that you set the Maximise Compatibility preference to
    Always. Doing so will save non layered files as normal and multi-layered will have the
    necessary* composite preview. You can continue to use the flatten command to fix the errant files.
    *Enabling the Maximise Compatibility preference ensures that Photoshop creates a composite preview of multi-layered images. It is intended to enable applications that can't read layers to preview the images. Lightroom cannot read multi-layered files, therefore the composite preview MUST be present in such files.
    >Has anyone noticed different behaviour with the Lr v2 beta? I'd hate to double the size of all my multilayer PSDs just so they can load into Lr(?)
    Lr 2.0 will function as per Lr1.x; i.e. not using Maximize Compatibility when saving multi-layered files will mean that they are not compatible with Lr2.0.

  • 2 question about GPU and Lens correction ,cs5

    Hi
    i have 2 questions about Gpu and lens correction in Cs5
    1)Filter->lens correction->search online
    i get often and almost every connection time out at the first click on search online , at the second click i get no online profile
    is it normal?
    2) question is about Gpu
    it run faster , but talking about ajustament layer
    like saturation or vibrance for example
    i found with the gpu on , a light slow refresh compared with gpu off
    i have set cache  levels 6 ,history 20
    i guess are the defaul
    well i add a saturation layer and move the saturation slide ,increase o decrease saturation
    with Gpu Off , the changes are immedially , i mean i can see in real time the increase o decrease of saturation
    with Gpu On it takes a few(very few) time more
    again is normal ?
    don't be angry , i'm going to buy cs5 and i'm unsecure ... the price make a big role
    thanks

    For what it's worth, I also see a timeout on the first [ Search Online ] click, after about half a minute delay.  Second click turns up results immediately.  This happens each time Lens Correction is started, even without restarting Photoshop, and in both 32 and 64 bit versions.  Also note that I started with one profile listed by default (though from the wrong camera) for my 40D with 28-135 zoom.
    I alsow noticed that I was seeing progress bar activity in the Lens Correction dialog while I was typing this (even though Lens Correction was NOT the active window) every time I hit the 'L' key.  Strange.

  • Does the lens correction profile for the Canon 24-70 eliminate all distortion?

    The new Camera Raw seems excellent in the Lens Correction...I will be photographing dancers and will have only 9 feet to work with. I would like to use the widest lens I can with lens correction. The question is whether this new program will flatten out the 24mm lens or if I should use the 35.
    Roger Minkow

    To add to Eric's great explanation, the corrections here are for barrel and pincushion distortion. That can be present in a lens of any focal length.
    What isn't corrected is the effect in wide angle lenses where there is spreading of the image of three dimensional objects away from the center of the field. It happens at any distance, not just close up. It is caused by the extreme angle of projection from the back of the lens to the flat film/sensor plane. Think of a straight on photo of a building that has equal size columns across the facade with a wide angle lens. The columns at either end of the image appear wider than the (same width) columns in the middle. Retrofocus design wide angle lenses help a little bit (the rear of the lens is further from the focal plane than in a standard wide angle), but the distortion is usually there.
    There is also distortion from being too close to the subject. Focal length doesn't really matter in that, except that longer lenses don't have the field of view to take in the close subject and can't usually focus that close. So we associate this distortion with wide angle lenses. This sort of distortion would be that where a person's nose in the middle of the frame looks very large and there is quick falloff in size to the eyes, ears, background. I think of this as more an issue of perspective, and this is controlled by camera placement, not by focal length or lens design.

  • Scale difference between Camera Raw and Lens Correction Filter in CS6

    I have the latest Camera Raw plugin (8.6.0.254). When I open an NEF file from a D800, the resulting image is 4912x7360 pixels, whether I apply distortion correction or not.
    If I load the NEF file, do not apply distortion correction in Camera Raw, but then apply it via the Lens Correction Filter, the image must be rescaled to approximately 4840x7252 (some 98.53%) so that it matches the results of the Camera Raw plugin (minus the missing pixels around all four sides, of course).
    Anyone else notice this (particularly in newer versions of Photoshop)? Is there a way to prevent this cropping? The amount of distortion on the lens (35mm) is minimal and, regardless of that, I would have expected Camera Raw and the Lens Correction filter to output identical images after distortion correction, since the lens profile is the same.

    To see if that can be replicated, we'd need to now the exact version of CS6 you're running (e.g. on Mac you should be on Photoshop CS6 13.0.6) and the exact version of your OS.

  • Enable Profile (ACR) and Filter Lens Corrections does not recognize Lens

    I did several searches and couldn't find this so it may be a new question. I'm running into it in both CS5 (Camera Raw and Filter > Lens Corrections) and Lightroom 3.3 (Develop- Enable Profile). I'm asking here since I figure if I can fix CS5, I'll know what to do in Lightroom.
    I have a Canon 1D MK IV. ACR recognizes the camera and processes the raw file. I check updates and everything is current. With Enable Profile checked, some lenses like my 24-105 L are recognized but my 17-35 L seems to be a complete mystery to it. I'm assuming that this is due to a missing profile.
    Am I correct in thinking that the process is, download, install and run the Adobe Profile downloader. If I do not find any hits for my lens, I am then in the spot of having to use the profile creator to build one (or go without).?
    Are there any other sources for camera / lens profiles that can be imported into the enable profile process?
    Once you have a new profile where do you store it?   under Users> Owner > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Lens Correction ?
    Thanks
    Rick

    Just to make sure:  Have specifically checked to ensure you have the latest Camera Raw update (6.3)?  I know you said you checked updates, but it never hurts to do a Help - About Plug-in... in Photoshop and double check.

  • Lens Correction filter not working?

    I upgraded to CS5 specifically to use the auto lens correction feature (primarily for barrel and pincushion distortion on my Canon zoom lenses). Now I find that:
    Even though the camera back (5D Mark II) and lens information is included with an image, the lens correction filter requires me to manually select the back and lens.
    Several of my lenses are not even included in the data base, even though they're very popular lenses (e.g., EF16-35mm 2.8 L USM II and EF 70-300mm DO IS USM). I realize the data base is to be enlarged, but these seem like inexplicable omissions. (And I have no desire or time to create my own profiles.)
    The PDF instruction manual for CS5 offers no help, and I don't see this issue addressed in the forums. I'm hoping someone will be able to advise me on how to make this function work.

    Jeff,
       Thanks for the quick answer, but I still think the menu is misleading.
       If the body choices were in the format of "full frame, 1.3 crop, 1.6
    crop, etc.", it would be clear that the specific model didn't matter.
    However, this would create its own problems since many people wouldn't
    understand the concept of the crop factor for their camera.
       The fact that the 5D Mark II exists in the pull-down menu as a discrete
    choice in addition to the 1Ds Mark III implies that there is a difference
    between the two. Even if there is no functional difference in this context,
    it would avoid confusion if the actual body from the EXIF information could
    always be the default selection.
       Thanks.

  • Nikon D800 Camera not listed in the Lens Correction Filter under camera models in Photoshop CC 2014

    I do not see a Nikon D 800 Camera listed in the Lens Correction Filter under camera models. Is there any way to update this ?

    The lens distortion corrections are encoded in such a way that they are independent of the body of camera that they were determined with--in other words they are in terms of millimeters not pixels.  The only issue is that lens profiles computed on a crop-frame body can't reliably be applied for the same lens on a full-frame body because the lens profile from a crop-frame body won't cover the entire full-frame lens image circle.
    So as you're looking for a lens profile just make sure you're using a full-frame one if you have a full-frame or crop-frame camera, and don't try to use a crop-frame one on a full-frame camera.  I'd expect Adobe only computes crop-frame profiles for crop-frame lenses, and uses full-frame camera bodies on full frame lenses, so there shouldn't be a problem.

  • ACR Lens Correction vs PS CS5 (under Filter) Lens Correction

    1. I would like to know why the Lens Correction tool within Photoshop CS5, under menu item "Filter", shows a choice of three pull down menus for: camera make, camera model and lens model, whereas the Adobe Camera Raw Lens Correction tool shows different pulldown menus  of these: Make(Mine shows Nikon since I shoot only Nikon), Model(mine for instance shows "24.0-120.0 f3.5-f5.6", a custom profile that I did), and Profile (mine will show "Nikon D700-24.0-120.0mm f3.5-f5.6" in this slot, for the lens mentioned above.
    Why does one application need the camera model and the other does not, is my main question ?
    2. My last question for this evening is: when I applied my new 24-120mm lens profile to a shot that I shot from a distance of say, 30 meters away from my subject, the profile which was checked in the pulldown menu under Adobe Camera Raw, when I right-clicked my custom profile, showed a distance of 100m(and all my other sets of images showed also at correct distances and apertures, but I did not shoot any from 100m). None of my test shots were from 100m, so is the application just going to always show 100 meters for any case  where you shoot from a given lens' point of infiinity or more(and the application has interpolated results for a distance of infinity which it is calling to be 100m ?
    Thanks for any help,
    Debra

    Stola,
    I am willing to share my lens profiles with others and I have sent this profile directly to Adobe and it is in the database, accessible from Photoshop CS5.
    I will have to send you the lens profile as an attachment since a Lightroom user cannot access the lens profile database, according to what I have seen on this forum.  You can send me a private message with your email address and I will send the file to that address, it is an 83 kilobyte file and is for RAW images, the NEFs, shot with the D700. I took 120 different images, not 27, to develop this profile, so it is a good one that I invested a lot of time in developing.
    In order to send a private message to me with your email address to mail the lens profile file to, you would click on my name beside the post of the topic, and then when the menu comes up, on the right, choose "Actions", "Send private message", and then compose the note to send me your email address within the private message, unless you want to post your email address on the forum, which robots can obtain and then spam you with advertisements, etc..
