Batch processing lens correction in LR3

Hi folks,
my questions today are best practise questions:
First:
What is the best way to apply the auto lens correction to already imported images in LR3?
Second:
Is it possibe to do auto lens correction during the import process?
Thanx for your support
JK

1. Select desired images, go to Develop, and click the "Enable Profile Corrections" checkbox in the Lens Corrections panel.
Note that you will need Auto Sync enabled for this to work. In Develop, on the right panel, there is a "Sync..." button with a little switch to its left. If you click that switch, that will enable the Auto Sync feature, and the button will be renamed to show this.
2. Yes, make a preset. Namely, pick an image and turn on profile-based lens corrections (see previous step). Go to Develop menu and choose New Preset... In the ensuing dialog box, check the "Lens Corrections" box (and whichever other boxes you want to be included in the preset). When you import your images, select this as your Develop preset. This will cause lens corrections to be applied to all images that are imported.

How to set Lens correction in LR3

Hi,
I am sure this has been answered before but I can't find any answers in LR Help, here or google.
Is there a way of setting the "Lens correction" in LR3 to be on by default? as it is now I have to se tit for each image.
thanks
Chris

You can do this by updating the 'Develop Default Settings.'
1) Open an image in the Develop module and hit the 'Reset' button in the right bottom control panel.
This is your 'Current Default Setting'
2) Go to Lens Corrections and check the 'Enable Profile Corrections' box. If necessary select 'Make' so the lens appears.
3) Go the toolbar (top of screen) Develop> Set Default Settings> Click on Update To Current Settings.
You will need to do this for each camera model you are using in LR.
You can update pictures currently in LR using Develop Settings 'Copy' & 'Paste' or 'Sync.' Select only 'Lens Profile Corrections' in the 'Synchronize Settings' options popup. Keep in mind this will overwrite previously adjusted images with the 100 default 'Amounts.'
You can also modify the 'Lens Corrections' Profile defaults separately for each lens by making the changes and clicking the 'Setup' up/down arrows and selecteing 'Save new lens profile defaults.'

Is there a way to batch process color corrected RAW files to tif files?

I got over 160 color corrected RAW files from my photographer when I thought I was getting TIf or PSD files. I need to put them into an indesign doc to send out for printing. Is there a way to convert all of these in one fell swoop without messing up the work that has already been done? I didn't allow in my timing to save each one individually since i didn't know I was going to need ot do this. I am really unfamiliar with batch processing, so no idea how to best go about this, or if I even can. Please help. I am working in Photoshop CS6. version 13.06 x 64

An easy way is to open Bridge, select the images then click on Tools/Image processor. You can then save as jpg, psd, or tiff.
Hope this helps.

Where do I get Lens Profile for lens correction in LR3

I have LR3 and need help figuring something out. I mainly shoot with a Tamron 24-70mm. LR3 doesn't list this lens under the lens correction so I can't correct any of the lens distortion. Anyone know where/how I can locate/install this profile? Do I get this from Adobe, Tamron, etc?

There are three Tamron 24-70 lens profiles, but all were added to the LR 4.x series:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html
So the obvious solution is to upgrade your LR to 5.x for $80, or sign up for PS-CC+LR5 bundle at $10/month (for a limited time).
A more complicated way to get these profiles is to install the latest DNG Converter which includes all lens profiles, then copy the lens profiles you need over to the third-party lens profile under your Users folder and LR 3 should pick them up, assuming that folder hasn’t changed places between LR3 and LR5.
I am not a Mac person, but on Windows, the DNG Converter installed profiles would be under:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Tamron
And the place to put them is:
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\downloaded
AppData is a hidden folder so you just have to type it into the Explore address area and hit Enter or turn on hidden folders in Explorer or type %APPDATA% in Explorer and hit Enter will get you down to the Roaming folder.
You can find the latest DNG Converter at: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

Accuracy of Lens Correction in LR3 or 4

Hi! I recently bought my Fuji X10 und downloaded LR4 (beta). Im quite new to LR & RAW, but learning fast.
Since there is no LCP for the X10 available yet, I'm doing lens correction manually. But the manual correction is quite limited, especially for the 28mm wide angle distortion of the X10.
My efforts result in almost perfect horizontal & vertical lines in the center, but especially the horizontal lines spread towards the edge.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4978642/Bildschirmfoto%202012-01-21%20um%2014.37.01.png
Now I would like to know, if a later available LCP would correct this further and straighten all lines? Hoping not to need Photoshop to do the job.
THX for any comments.
Oliver
If you don't have a Dropbox Account, get one free here: http://db.tt/y1XYyIg

Manual lens correction model is limited and only account for lower order distortion terms. The distortion used in the LCP is more powerful and can account for higher order distortion terms. You can build your own custom lens profiles using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lensprofile_creator.html. Or see if others have built and shared the same lens profile using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader.

Lens correction profiles LR3.4 Mac

I use a mac.
I shoot raw.
I created lens correction profiles for my camera and a few lenses. I uploaded them to Adobe. The lens corrections show up in Adobe Camera Raw but not in Lightroom. ACR "looks" for the .lcp files in the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Camera Raw/Lens Profiles/1.0
Where does Lightroom look for the .lcp files? Or does it use them a all? There is a large list of supported lenses in the dropdown menu, just not the ones I created.

QUOTING: There is a second Lens Profiles Default folder as well.
Where is this elusive second folder? I put copies of the profile in the /Downloaded folder as wel, but Lightroom still doesn't see them.

How to batch process (color correct) multiple MXF files?

Newb here with a question I cannot find an answer for. I'm very new to CS5.5 and am very frustrated with something that should be a simple procedure, at least it was with my last NLE.
I am shooting amateur hockey games using a Canon XF100. Typically I shoot at 720 60p and with all the starts and stops of the game there may be 30-40 MFX files for a game. I'm having no problems importing into CS5.5, the files all show up on the timeline.
I want (need) to be able to color correct ALL these files at once using the fast color corrector and/or the 3 way color balance. For the life of me I cannot seem to do this and I cannot find any answers despite many hours of searches.
Last night I did (after much mucking around) manage to 'nest' the files and do the color correction but when I went to export to Media Encoder (to render as MP4 file) I kept getting error messages and was unable to proceed. This happened 6 times, the encoding would start and then after about 20 minutes, and some progress, it would give me an error message.
Can someone please, pretty please!, explain a simpler way to do this? I feel like I am missing a very obvious step and I'm probably just phrasing the question incorrectly.
Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, you're doing it exactly in the right way. I just nested a sequence and applied the Fast Color Corrector to the nest and it exported beautifully. Could you try nesting and color correcting a short sequence with clips other than the MXF files generated by the Canon XF100 using the same methodology? I'm trying to see if it's your footage is the issue or something else.

LR 3, Pshop CS3 and lens corrections: wha'?

Perform lens corrections in LR3. Open in Photoshop CS3.
And the lens corrections are not applied. Repeatable.
Right now I'm having to finish the PSD, the syncing the (ignored) lens corrections from the raw file to the PSD.
Where's the hidden Do What I Asked command for lens corrections?

Hm. I would assume that LR3's engine would render the PSD, then open it in Pshop.
Because (thanks to your note) I see that I can export a righteously-rendered PSD and, as a post-process, have it open in Pshop immediately.
Thanks, Lee Jay.

Lens correction settings in LR3

Hi guys! I have downloaded LR3 yesterday and played with trial version for a few hours now. Looks like a very welcome upgrade over the 2.x version. However I cannot fully appreciate the way lens corrections module is supposed to work.
I am a nikon user with 28-75 Tamron lens. After setting "custom" lens correction profile and choosing Tamron as lens manufacturer, LR3 accurately suggests my lens model and assigns an existing adobe profile. So far so good. But there is one thing that keeps me from feeling all happy and excited about this new feature: Lightroom would not allow to save different default settings for various focal lengths. For instance, the named above 28-75/2.8 tamron lens has somewhat considerate barrel type distortion at 28mm, and at the same time at its maximum of 75mm geometry distortions are almost non-existent. So while I am happy with how LR3 handles the wide angle distortions, it makes things a lot worse with telephoto range when I apply default lens corrections.
Hence the question: can I somehow make settings in lens corretions module specific to the focal length used? Of course, I would like LR to do that for me, but since it cannot, is there any walkaround? Tweaking settings for each shot is time consuming, and I see no reason not to make this process a little bit more automated.

Adani2, I have encounter similar problems with the same lens on my Canon 1D Mark III (a 1.3x crop camera).
The quick answer to your question is no. There is no setting in Lightroom that allows for correction at a specific focal length, apparently the software is suppose to automatically determine that. I use to have a D80 with the Tamron 28-75 before I switched to Canon. So I decided to process a few shots with LR3 to see if your problem was the same as what I encountered on my 1D3.
I used LR3's lens correction on three pictures, each a different focal length (28, 40, and 75). At the extreme ends, I found 28 and 75 to not vary much from the same image corrected with PTLens (the current progam I use to correct lens distortions). However, at 40 I ran into the same cropping and over correction problem I did with my Canon 1D (albiet it is much worse on the 1D than the D80). It is discussed more in depth here: (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/656057?tstart=30). Below is a picture taken at 40mm (f2.8) with the Tamron 28-75 on my old Nikon D80 with the "corrected" image overlayed on top (opacity 50%):
Before auto aligning of layers in Photoshop:
After auto aligning of layers in Photoshop:
Interestingly, the difference between PTlens and the original image for the above shot is virtually zero which is consistant with reviews about this lens (http://www.photozone.de/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests/291-tamron-af-28-75mm-f28-sp-xr-di- ld-aspherical-if-nikon-lab-test-report--review?start=1). Why LR3 believes there is distortion when there isn't any is rather perplexing.
My suggestion, for this lens on a crop body, would be to not bother making any lens corrections except for critical pictures (e.g. architecture) taken around 28mm. The distortions for this lens are, for all practical purposes, negligible on cropped camera bodies.

LR3 Lens corrections not transferred to external editor

When I use the new Lens Correction panel in LR3, then transfer the image to PS (CS4) for further editing using the Edit In command, the Lens Corrections are not transferred, although everything else is.
Details:
The original image is a .dng file.
It is transferred to PS as a 16bit TIFF.
If I EXPORT the image as a 16bit TIFF file, the file image DOES contain the Lens Corrections - it is only when I use the 'Edit In Adobe CS4' command that the problem occurs.
I currently have v5.7 of Camera Raw installed in PS, which doesn't support the Lens Corrections - I don't use it, and so haven't bothered to download the latest version, but surely LR is doing all the processing itself, and won't be using the PS version of Camera Raw?
Any thoughts from anyone?
Cheers
Steve

I understand where you're coming from Steve, but it's always been the same. They don't make the ACR plug-in backwards compatible for older PS versions, as the continued development is one of the things upgraders are paying for. If they spend resources on backwards compatibility, it's not really fair on those who are paying for the upgrades, and could limit the improvements in the new releases.
LR3 works great on its own, and will render a file itself with all of the settings applied, but that does mean you have a file on your hard drive. If you want direct PS integration, it's the PS license fee that pays for that. That said, they did update and bring out 5.7, which they wouldn't usually have done, so if you're not using the lens corrections, opening directly into CS4 will be an almost perfect match, apart from some minor minor tweaks.

Lens Correction Batch Application Not Working

Using LR3, I can set the lens correction then go to 'Develop Settings/Copy Settings' and the option is there for lens correction (I check all of the boxes under lens correction). If I paste the settings to just one photo, the lens correction applies. However, if I select multiple images to apply it to, it only applies it to the first image. So now my fingers are worn out from applying it manually 275 times (with ctrl/shift/v then right arrow, repeat).
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.
TIA!!!
Jesse

Thank you for the helpful suggestion Hamish! I will keep that in mind as an option.
I did find a way to make the batch changes.
1. Click on the photo that you want to copy the settings from, then click the 'Copy' button. A dialogue box will pop up to let you select what attributes you want to copy. Select the attributes then click on copy in the dialogue box.
2. Highlight all of the other photos in the filmstrip that you want to apply these attributes to. Be sure to include the photo you used to copy the attributes from, or this will not work.
3. Click the Sync button.

Scripting Lens Correction to process millions of photos

We have several million "Fish-Eye" images that we need to flatten out and the new "Lens Correction" feature of Photoshop CS5 appears to work pretty well. I was able to use the predefined File -> Automate -> Lens Correction function to process a hanfull of images and it worked fine for a small batch.
I would like to know if there is a way with Photoshop CS5 to script/batch out a process so that I can use it to process the millions of individual files we need to have processed.
Also, I am not familiar with the Photoshop "Batch" or "Scripting" process, so assuming the above request is possible, some direction on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Lee

Unfortunatly I'm talking millions of images. Anwhere from 3 to 20 millon. Space is not an issue but time may be but that will all be evaluated during this process.
From what I've figured out so far, handling this via a script would probalby be the best way to handle it as I may have to do some other integration in order to retrieve my lists of files to process, handle errors and dynamically name the saved images. I also believe scripting will allow me to run the process from outside of Photoshop.
For now, however, I'm trying the simpler approach mentioned above. So how would I go about creating an action to applie lens correction?
Thanks
Lee

LR3 can't read lens correction in PSD files.

I've done lens correction in my raw file.
After opening in in Photoshop CS4, I've made some adjustments in tone and sharpen, and save as
a PSD file, with the same name as raw file.
Comparing the two files, Raw and PSD, the look quite different about the correction lens results.
In PS they looks like the same one, but in LR3 they are not.
It look like the raw file without lens correction.
It's a big issue if I want to export that psd file or even generate other files from it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You need at least ACR 6.1 + Photoshop CS5 to interpret lens corrections in Photoshop. CS4 cannot do it.
You only option is to set Photoshop as a secondary editor (check Prefs in Lightroom) and let Lightroom render the image before sending it to PS.

Batch processing web pages from jpgs made from color corrected Camera Raw files

I processed and color corrected a set of photos shot in camera raw, then saved as tiffs. Then I set Photoshop to Batch process them into a web slide show. The images turned out looking like the raw files before processing....kind of desaturated, since they were shot on a grey day. So then i re-saved the raw files as jpgs and hypersaturated them to see if that would produce better results, but it did not. They looked almost as grey as the original raw files. I usually add saturation to files that will end up on the web, because ImageReady always seems to desaturate color.
I'm running Mac OS4.1 and CS2.
Thanks, Suzanne

Suzanne,
Try
converting your images to the sRGB color space before processing and/or saving them for web display. ALWAYS. Remember to use CONVERT to profile not
assign

Copy/Paste settings always includes lens corrections even if not ticked? (LR3)

I'm having trouble with copy/paste settings on LR3, in that whenever I copy settings and paste them onto other images, the settings for the Lense Corrections section are always transferred, even though they were not ticked in the copy settings dialog. Can anyone else confirm this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Edit: Should have mentioned, LR 3.0, Mac OSX 10.6.4, iMac i7.
Thanks,
David

I CANNOT reproduce that.
Do you have the lens correction box unchecked? or do you just have the four boxes under that hierarchy unchecked?
Mac OS X 10.6.4
