Another Lens Profile Enable question

I know this question has been asked repeatedly and I believe have read all the answers to date but is it possible to keep the check box checked for each new picture being developed in Lightroom 3.4. The default profile works fine but the box has to be checked for each new photo and this is disruptive of a smooth workflow. If it is not possible please let me know. thanks jc

Thanks Beat, I was unaware of the performance impact Lens Profile corrections have on the Spot Removal tools.
If you don't normally use the Spot Removal tool on your images (I don't), then you are better off enabling Lens Profile in the default Develop settings. For those few images that need Spot Removal work simply uncheck 'Enable Profile Corrections.' Don't forget to re-enable lens profiles when done to see your final results.
I also suggest determining your own lens profile default settings. I use Distortion '0', Vignetting 50-75, and C. abberation 100. REASON: Distortion setting will cause some cropping of the image when applying correction and in most images distortion is not visible. I suggest manually selecting Distortion correction only for those images that exhibit obvious straight line curvature. I actually find most pictures shot with my highest distortion lens look better with '0' Distortion correction. The Vignetting setting at 100% can look unnatural and may cause areas toward the corners of your image to lose some sharpness, especially with very wide angle lenses. I set my default for 50% Vignetting and rarely see a need for more. The C. aberration control does an excellent job of correction and has no other issues, so I leave it at 100%.
I suggest you try it for yourself with each individual lens and make your own judgment – Your mileage may vary dependent on lens performance and subjects. Certainly feel free to set your default lens profiles settings differently for each lens where you feel it looks best.....and that may be 100 for all of them. You can always "fine-tune" the adjustments for images that require it.
To change the lens profile default settings, adjust all sliders to the new settings, click the down-arrow next to 'Setup' under 'Lens Corrections,' and select 'Save New Lens Profile Defaults.' You can also choose 'Reset Lens Profile Settings' to return to 100, 100, 100 default.

Lens Profile Downloader question

I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Lens Profile Downloader 1.0.1, and I have AIR installed (as required), but the downloader won't install. It gives the message "The application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem. ..."
What should I do to get it to install?
Steve

Thanks for your response. I followed the link, and unfortunately the particular problem of failure to install wasn't solved there either.
I found another link for a similar certificate problem (involving installation of another Adobe product) and the advice was to uninstall Adobe Download Manager and reinstall the latest version. However when I went to the oOntrol Panel (Windows 7), there is no listing to indicate that Adobe Download Manger is installed.
It is all rather strange, as I have the earlier version of Lens Profile Downloader installed and it works fine (I am familiar with profiles and have created my own, which I have shared on the Adobe server).

Tokina 11-16 lens profile-download question

Lens profile downloader_p3_102510.air then clicking on this did not produce any results ....although AdobeAir is on the hard drive ...so I downloaded on 7/12 the AdobeAirInstaller so it might be that my air version is old since its a version 1.## and this download indicates a higher version.
So the only way to download a lens profile is with this downloader ? OR
lensprofile_creator_p3_win_042711.zip Does this have the capacity to view shared lens profiles and download?
Does this downloader go automatically to the storage location and produce a list from which to choose?
The Tokina lens arrived yesterday along with a 7D and I didn't value the lens profile corrections until I had to adjust a wide view of a building, one of the first test shots.
I have to admit I'm a little nervous about the above installs and then searching for the lens profile download . Its likely the AIR feature since in the past I did get errors in the event log connected with AdobeAir.
I guess I'm double checking on routines that others have used.
Rose

I cannot figure out how the download is to begin. I have clicked on Download....the bar fills with a colour and no file arrives on my hard drive.
You need to click on the gold box near the top right of the screen that says 'Upload file.' You will be prompted to create a "free account."
OHho...factory built in tilt....is that so?....I have wondered about that because its just TOO consistent and I have lined up with an object on occassion. Good info to include the tilt into the preset.
Shoot a picture of a window frame that nearly fills the viewfinder and make sure it is perfectly lined up on all four sides. Using a tripod helps. If you see a tilt, then you have the factory assembly defect of a "tilted" viewfinder image. Don't be surprised if it is also a little off-center! My 300D viewfinder is tilted clockwise and to the right slightly. Canon repair may be able to adjust it, but since it was so slight I never bothered.
AND specifics according to the camera serial number... I haven't had to deal with that to date but I have read about it,so its good that the code refers to the camera serial number rather than having to make specific settings.
Please read my correction note – There is no need to do this unless you own two of the same camera model and need to set the defaults differently for each.
I've just used the Jao, Nikon profile on a few Lake Huron sunset shots and a slight correction was made but I still had a tilt ....the lake was running downhill to the north <grin>
You are confusing "rectilinear distortion" such as "barrel" and "pin cushion" distortion with "perspective distortion!" ALL super wide-angle lenses can exhibit significant perspective distortion in different shooting situations, which can be very useful for "creative effects." Vertical perspective distortion is created when the camera is tilted up or down, and Horizontal perspective distortion is created when the camera pointed left or right of a central object. Go into Lightroom Develop module>Lens Correction>'Manual' and move the 'Vertical' and 'Horizontal' adjustments. This applies digital image processing to "correct" your picture, similar to what an expensive tilt-shift lens does on-the-camera
Even when you correct your picture elements for "parallel" vertical and horizontal lines, a super wide-angle lens may still exhibit what appears to be a "distorted perspective." That's both the virtue and deficit of shooting with short focal length lenses – It's up to you to properly apply this creatively to your subjects….but that’s a whole other subject!

Decision-making process EXIF = correct lens profile

I created a lens profile for my new camera Sony SLT-A77 with lens SAL-1680Z.
I use ACR 6.6 with activated feature "Enable Lens Profile Corrections" and Setup = Auto.
My new profile is found automatically because of EXIF information in the DNG file
and matching tags in the lens profile file.
EXIF:Make = stCamera:Make = "SONY"
EXIF:Model = stCamera:Model = "SLT-A77V"
EXIF:Model = stCamera:CameraPrettyName = "SLT-A77V"
EXIF:LensModel = stCamera:LensPrettyName = "DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA"
But my problems start with the second lens. This is Tamron SP 70-300mm.
There is a lens profile provided by ACR 6.5: "SONY (TAMRON SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di USD A005S) - RAW.lcp"
But the tags in this file aren´t matching the EXIF in my DNG files.
So I tried to edit the tags like in my own lens profile.
EXIF:Make = stCamera:Make = "SONY"
EXIF:Model = stCamera:Model = "SLT-A77V"
EXIF:Model = stCamera:CameraPrettyName = "SLT-A77V"
EXIF:LensModel = stCamera:LensPrettyName = "TAMRON SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di USD A005S"
But in ACR6.5 this profile isn´t found automatically. I have to choose manually
in the Lens Profle menu the Make selector. But I have to choose "Tamron".
I can´t understand this behavior because the tag is stCamera:Make="SONY" and
there is no tag with "Tamron" in the profile.
I deleted all other lens profiles on the computer to exclude problems with another lens profile.
In the document "Adobe Camera Model V1.0" on page 11 I found the required EXIF tags,
but I suspect the mechanism ACR choose a lens profile is different.
Ingo

There is also a LensID field in xmp:aux that would affect the lens matching. Bring your photos in PS/Bridge, show the FileInfo dialog, go to the Advanced panel, you can tweak the metadata in the lens profile to match the same values shown in the FileInfo dialog.

Adobe Lens Profile Creator - ERROR (Detect corners failed because file reading errors ocurred)

1) I have successfully created a lens profile for a Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 40mm 2.8 lens used in a Nikon D5200 Camera. For this I converted the raw .nef files to .DNG first using Adobe's DNG Converter.
2) When trying to create another lens profile using the EXACT SAME .DNG files as posted in 1), I am no longer able to create a lens profile because of the message "Detect corners failed because file reading errors ocurred". I am also unable to create any other lens profile using different photos.
3) I have also tried using a fresh install of Adobe Lens Profile Creator in another mac and I get the exact same error.
4) I AM ABLE to create a lens profile if I use .jpg files (generated from the same raw .nef files as mentioned) but this doesn't help because then the profiles don't show up when trying to open a raw file in Adobe Camera Raw.
Please help as this is exasperating.
Thank you.

Thanks! I had the same error message in Adobe Lens Profile Creator 1.0.4 for OSX and I found the problem to be the letter ö in the folder name for the DNGs. The lens is an old ISCO-Göttingen and the progress stopped at 2% with the mentioned error message. Changed the folder name and now it works!

Fuji X100S Lens Profile Question

I recall reading here that the lens profile for the Fuji X100S is handled automatically in LR. One should not select the X100 profile because that would amount to double-profiling the image. Yet now I read that ACR 8.4RC has a profile for the X100S.
Does this mean that we have been going without a profile all this time?

There is a built-in lens profile that is always applied and cannot be turned off. The vignetting and chromatic aberration were and continue to be corrected by this profile, as they have always been. There is a new information box in ACR 8.4 and presumably soon in LR 5.4 that indicates this correction is being applied.
Additionally, I enabled the new external lens profile. The vignetting and geometric distortion were corrected by this profile.
So the vignetting is being corrected twice, once by the internal profile and once by the external profile. I have let Eric Chan from Adobe this is happening and he has acknowledged he’ll be looking into it.
Until Adobe fixes this double correction, the Vignetting slider needs to be set to 0 when the external lens profile is enabled to turn off the external profile’s extra vignetting correction.

How do you get custom Default Settings to enable lens profile corrections automatically on import?

I have created default settings by serial number for my Canon Mark III 1ds which include enabled lens profile corrections. I then created a user preset with these default corrections. Next I imported a folder of RAW images shot with this same Canon camera with the user profile checked as part of the import. When I switch to the Develop module and check the Lens Corrections panel, I see that although it is checked for each file, the actual make, model and profile are not populated.
Is this a bug or am I overlooking something on import? I understand that in LR 4, you can apply specific lens and camera calibration profiles to camera serial numbers (noise reduction etc too).
MacPro 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 gigs of ram running OSX 10.7.2.

You can make your defaults specif to ISO and/or Camera Serial or not (see Preferences), but what you choose is valid for all default parameters. You cannot say "use my NR ISO-specific, but the rest of the parameters regardless of ISO".

Lens profile question

I've done a lot of field work with a Canon G9, and it would be extremely helpful to have a lens profile, but I operate the camera remotely, and in this mode, it only shoots jpegs. I have 3 questions:
1) Is there a G9 lens profile for jpeg?
2) Is it possible to convert my jpegs to RAW?
3) Would it be possible to use an existing G9 lens profile (RAW) on images converted from jpeg, or would that be futile?

You can do number 3 (convert a raw profile to JPEG) with usually okay results, and I've posted how to do that on numerous occasions.
Change all the lines that look like:
<stCamera:CameraRawProfile>True</stCamera:CameraRawProfile>
to False (preferably in a new file).

Camera RAW v7.3:Lens Profile for Nikkor DX 17-55mm

Hi,
LR v4.3 correctly reads from NEF the lens Metadata like: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED. This lens profile is properly assigned to the corresponding NEF file.
Still in LR when converting the same image (via export dialog) to TIF, again this lens profile is used and reflected in the TIF-output (including metadata). So far so good.
When converting the same image in Nikon Capture NX2 of course the lens profile (as set in LR) is NOT reflected in the TIF-output. This (should) can be taken care of by enabling a lens profile correction in LR (after import TIF into LR).
The thing is that LR suggests to apply a profile for lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G IF-ED. This profile is probably not the same as for the 17-55mm lens.
Unfortunately a profile for the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED is not listed in the selection options.
Question is:
How can I best obtain a proper profile for the lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED ?
I find it strange that Camera RAW v7.3 has the proper lens profile for the NEF but suggest another profile for the TIF version of the same file. Apparently the profile is available for NEF but not for the TIF.
How comes?
Would appreciate to receive some reasoning and possible solutions.
Thanks, Hans.

My findings:
The lens profile in ACR is for RAW files.
For converted files (TIF, JPG, etc.) a different lens profile applies.
Reason(s): The metadata of the TIF-file is not specific enough about lens profiles. (Lens profiles would need to be embedded - they are not).
For example: Has the TIF-file been converted from RAW using a profile or not? If so, the specific name of the lens profile and it's physical location would be needed.
Meanwhile it makes sense for me that this part is left to the user.
The Adobe LensProfile Creator allows to produce a suitable profile for specific needs.
For many popular lenses there is a non-RAW lensprofile (for TIF, JPG etc.) available that might be applied by the user.
Thanks 'Geoff the kiwi' you lead me onto the right path to find the answers to my questions.

How do I create an ACR custom lens profile if camera exposure can't be set to manual?

How do I create an ACR custom lens profile if camera exposure can't be set to manual?
I ask this question for the Nokia 808 PureView 41MP camera. It produces stunning image quality but exposure can only be controlled via EV +/- compensation. I need a lens profile to correct for vignetting to get even skies in panorama (which turn out stunningly otherwise). There is no profile for the Nokia 808 PureView I am aware of and I'd like to produce one.
Is the Adobe profile creator able to correct for varying exposure using EXIF or overlapping parts of the chart or background?
Or would the Adobe profile creator ignore EXIF if I use studio flash to enforce a constant lightning situation, even if shutter speed would vary (aperture is constant and ISO can be set constant, just not the shutter speed)?
Or did Adobe produce a profile internally they can share?
Thanks.

If you read the first post, this is the camera-app of a 41MP Nokia Pureview 808 camera-phone, so maybe someone could write a new camera app but the phone is Symbian OS which is dead, making that unlikely.
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/the-skeptics-guide-to-nokias-808-pureview-five-reasons -41-megapixels-are-not-a-gimmick/
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/the-nokia-lumia-820-and-lumia-920-too-little-too-late/
It would probably be easier for Adobe to rewrite the LPC to allow vignetting to be computed from a single shot of a blank wall without a target in the shot, than to have someone rewrite a camera app that allows manual exposure.
Another idea about how to get the phone to keep a constant exposure would be to experiment with putting darker and lighter objects in the field-of-view away from the target area to make the camera metering adjust things so it’s exposure is the same from one shot to the next. This would take some doing but should work, unless the LPC uses the part of the frame that doesn’t contain the checkboard target in its computations.
You’re basically varying the scene around the target so the camera takes the same exposure of the target each time.

Does the Lens Profile Creator work with Photoshop Elements 8.0..?

Hello,
I am very new to the world of Photoshop, so please forgive if this is an obvious/stupid question...
I am using Photoshop Elements 8.0 and I have a couple of pictures that I need to remove the 'fish eye' lens distortion from around the edges...
The blurb for the Lens Profile Creator says that it is for use in the "Adobe Photoshop® family of products"...
Does this include Photoshop Elements 8.0 or do they really mean it is just for Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw and Photoshop Lightroom...
Any help will be appreciated...
Many Thanks

PSE does not have the user-interface to turn on lens-corrections, nor does the ACR 6.1 update for PSE contain the lens-profile database installer, so if PSE is the only member of the PS-family that you have installed then effectively you cannot apply lens profiles.
If a computer has the lens-profile database installed and lens-distortion-correction has been enabled in the XMP sidecar for a particular image, both requiring PS-CS5's ACR 6.1-updater or LR3 to be installed and one of those used to enable lens-corrections for the image, then PSE can use ACR 6.1 to apply a lens profile, because the version of the ACR 6.1 plug-in for PS and PSE is the same plug-in.
BTW, removing fish-eye distortion completely, which is what enabling lens-corrections does by default, will leave a rather poor looking image that has been completely rectilinearized but has severe stretching of the pixels at the edges, so only the center is useable. With my 8mm Sigma fisheye, I reduce the Distortion part of the correction down to 44 so the black corners are gone, but there is still some bulging of the image.
If you want to experiment with lens-corrections, you could install the 30-day trial of LR3.

SONY RX100M3 LIGHTROOM 5.5 LENS PROFILE

Hello team, does anyone know how to obtain the Sony RX100M3 lens profile for Lightroom 5.5? I have been scouring the Internet for a solution but have not been able to find anything yet. There must be a way - would really appreciate your help with this! Thanks in advance.

rogerking wrote:
Hi there... Is this verified? I believed that camera profiles were simply colour profiles that allowed development of the RAW files. I have not been able to find information anywhere that suggests that the profile contains an automatic lens correction. There wasn't one for the RX100 or m2. I created ones for it using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator and it seems to work fine. I use Autopana to make panoramas and stretching the output from Lightroom without an additional lens profile for any RX100 proves very difficult which suggests there is still significant distortion. After correction using my created profile they stitch fine, though this may be a fluke.
Not sure if I can upload lens profiles here, but I would be happy to share both the RX100/RX100m2 and the RX100m3 profile. The RX100/m2 one is available from the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader, but despite me uploading the m3 profile, it has not yet appeared on the profile list in the tool. Perhaps that *does* imply that none is needed, but it would be nice if they'd let me know...
Hi,
It is totally unnecessary to have a separate lens profile as if you see my reply from Jul 28, 2014 12:48 PM the lens adjustments are included in the default profile as Sony provide the correction information in the RAW file.
To test it open the RAW file with another RAW processor that doesn't have lens correction capabilities and you will see the difference.
If you notice when you open in ACR or Lightroom where it says "Enable Profile Corrections" it says "Default" as it is supplied by Sony and it is not a removable lens camera.
The corrections are applied no matter what.

Camera Raw RC 8.6 does not automatically locate the lens profile for the new Canon 16-35mm f4 lens. The profile is in RC 8.6

I have loaded Camera Raw RC 8.6. It can not automatically locate the new Canon 16-35mm f4 lens, although the lens profile can be manually found.

Hi
I forgot to answer one question.
When I have a file from the Canon 16-35mm f4 lens in Camera Raw and go to
Lens Correction and check the box Enable Lens Profile Corrections, when I
select the model in the first box as Canon, it picks the wrong 16-35mm lens.
It picks the f2.8. I hope that you can get this fixed in Raw 8.6. It is
a major headache for the user of this new lens.

Nikon 50/1.4 D create lens profile

Hi
I need to be able to get or create a nikon 50/1.4 D lens profil for Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (15.1).
Can anybody help me here?
Michael

thanks for fast response!
i dont think the program not recognising the lens setting is the problem because nikon camera allow you to manually put in the setting before shooting (focal length and aperture), so right now ALPC is doing fine putting them into group.
the thing that i am confused is we actually should "separate lcp file for each set so that you could apply them separately" as you said?
am not sure if i understand this correctly but so i should create for example 10 set and use them accordingly?
eg.
use 45 f2.8 at minimum focus profile while i shoot similar to this condition versus another profile which optimise for 45 f11 at infinity?
i thought that we can combine them into one file and not having tons of small file?
(in the manual it says something about appending file but i could not get that to work. is that suppposes to work with zoom lens that has mutiple focal lengths only or it supposes to work with lens with mutiple apertures too?)
so i guess my basic question is:
how to get ALPC to recognise and combine the profile that shot using various aperture and focus distance? will ALPC do it automatically or else?
regards
sept
