Can ACR 5.7 read lens corrections? Or will 5.8?

I am really excited that lens/perspective corrections are coming to ACR and Lightroom 3. I understand that these corrections will be fully supported in ACR6.1 and LR3.
For those of us that own both Photoshop and Lightroom and wish to upgrade a single product there is a question about compatibility: can Lightroom 2.7 or ACR5.7 read and apply the lens corrections made in the newer program? If not, is a final update (LR 2.8, ACR 5.8) to these programs forthcoming?
Thank you,
Simon

Hi Eric,
That's a shame. Based on ACR4.6's support for rendering Lightroom 2 files I had hoped that something similar would apply. Especially since the underlying architecture (DNG opcodes, I guess) seems to already be implemented in ACR 5.7.
Besides that, the corrections look great and I'm looking forward to using them in LR3 (I'll probably skip PS CS5).

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.

Tutorials on ACR 6.1 new Lens Correction features

Hi,
We are all experienced users of cameras/Photoshop/ACR etc., and wizards at learning by trial-and-error, but I think it might be really helpful if there was a good tutorial (preferably by Adobe), to deal with the new features of lens corrections in ACR 6.1, to take out some of the guesswork.
There are items to be addressed, like for instance, the difference between Default-Auto-Custom in Lens Profiles page, why the lens profiles seem to depend only on lens type, while in Photoshop they depend on Camera/Lens combinations, how to prevent double correction, and many others.
If anyone knows of such tutorials, I'll be grateful if they can share.
Thanks,
Moshe

The "Chicken Little" as you call it, isn't aimed at you, unless you want to claim ownership. It isn't mine either. The sky's not falling but there are a few heavy showers about.
I have taken the time and if you examine what I said, I am including the auto corrections in PhotoMerge as part of the whole. Particularly Photomerge at this point.
If you have taken the time to read what I said I pointed out that Lens Correction will attempt to correct the image if you ignore the warning that no profile exists. I couldn't know that unless I tested it.
If you took the time to read my posts earlier in the Profile Creator Forum, would would know that I actually ran tests on the Lens Profiler for the one lens in Adobe's collection I use, against the DXO output and found Adobe's correction way out of line. And to put to rest the notion I don't know what I am talking about, I have used this lens with architectural subjects and the barrel/pincushion distortion is very well corrected with DXO.
But then you are busy I'm sure and would not necessarily know or remember all that. Strange, you do recall just enough to give you ammunition to insult.
So bottom line for me is this:
Lens Correct is set unchecked. I'll look from time to time as more corrections show up, and if I find them satisfactory and at least equivalent to DXO, I'll use it. Why not? It fits the workflow so much better. And I'll come back and share my findings. So Lens Correction in ACR won't affect me.
Photomerge using Geometric Correction in Auto is a non-starter. I really like it better for some stitches than Reposition, but Reposition in CS3 is better than Reposition in CS5 (or 4) which is why I would go back to it.
Yes, it is complicated, complex even. What I am doing is simplifying it best I can so I can work at photography, not test and measurement.

Lens correction options in Camera Raw

Hi! I have CS5 on both my laptop and desktop (Mac) computers - on my desktop when I am in Camera Raw I get all the Lens correction profiles, ability to change horizontal / vertical etc, but on my desktop version, in the lens settings I only get Chromatic Aberration and vignetting options. They are the same version of the program and were downloaded at the same time. Can anyone please give some suggestions on how I can get all of the Lens correction options to appear on my laptop too.
Thanks!

Maybe show us a screenshot of what you see on the system that isn't want you expect. What version of ACR are you using in each? It should be visible in the title bar of the ACR plug-in if you unmaximize it, or you can do About Plug-ins / Camera Raw in PS.
Here is the Manual tab of ACR 6.7 on Windows in CS5:

Support for DNG files with lens corrections?

Aperture 3.0.1 with the RAW Compatibility Update 3.1 now supports the lens corrections in my Olympus E-P1's native RAW format. yay!
unfortunately, since Aperture didn't support the camera for six months, I began a switch to Lightroom. consequently, I now have several thousand images that have been converted from the EP-1's native RAW format (ORF) to Adobe's so-called open RAW format (DNG). these DNGs don't load in Aperture (RAW format unsupported errors) because Aperture doesn't support DNGs with lens corrections.
Apple, can you please advise if lens corrections you support in native RAW files will also be supported in DNG conversions sometime soon? if so, I'll know it's safe to switch back to Aperture and recover the last six months of photos when the next RAW Compatibility Update happens.

Aperture 3.0.1 with the RAW Compatibility Update 3.1 does not support lens corrections. If you want lens corrections in Aperture you have to use Plugins like PTlens.
To my knowledge Aperture ignores all lens correction data in the original RAW files, just like it does with all the settings of the camera.

Lens Correction and Cropped Pixels

I'm starting out as an architectural photographer, and as I don't yet have a perspective correcting lens to adjust images in-camera, I need to use the Lens Correction tools in Photoshop and ACR. I prefer to use them over the Free Transform tool for the sake of accuracy (and convenience), but I do have an issue with the tools. When I correct the perspective of an image and then process, whatever extends beyond the boundary of the canvas winds up being automatically deleted, and it seems as if there's no setting to prevent this from happening. As there is sometimes a piece of a photo that I would like to be able to retain (i.e. extra sky, the top of a building, etc.), I understand that I can scale down the image in the Lens Correction tool and then re-crop after processing. Of course then this causes the image to still be smaller than I would like it to be (in certain cases where the distortion correction is more extreme, an original 21MP photo might become a 12 or 13MP photo after processing in the Lens Correction due to scale-down).
Is there any way that the Lens Correction tool will allow for pixels extending beyond the boundaries of the canvas to remain uncropped, thus allowing me to expand the canvas in order to reclaim the extra information?

Yammer P, yes the list is shorter because it's a jpeg rather than raw, and we have more profiles for raw than for jpeg.
For the set of lenses supported in CS5's initial release, we created profiles for both raw and jpeg. Since then, we have been concentrating on raw-based lens profiles, for a number of reasons (one of which is that we feel we can consistently deliver the highest quality results this way). This is why you see some lenses supported with raw & jpeg profiles, but many more supported with raw only.
CS5's Lens Correction plug-in does indeed let you choose raw-based lens profiles even though it is processing a rendered file (e.g., jpeg, tiff). This will work in many (but not all) cases for distortion correction, but will often work poorly for chromatic aberration and vignette correction. I don't recommend this workflow and it is a key reason we don't let users mix/match in ACR & LR.

Need Profile for Lens Correction Filter

I have a Nikon D5000. How do I get the correct lens profile so I can use it in the Lens Correction filter?

Profiles are not specific to a camera body, they are specific to a lens model and a sensor size (i.e. a profile for one model of lens will work on all the DX crop-sensor Nikon cameras).

PSE 8, Raw 6.1, Lens Correction

Hello,
I have just installed the Raw-Plug-In 6.1 for my Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7 64bit.
I can no where find the lens correction tab. Does anybody know what I have to do to get this tab?
The startet plug-in shows vesion 6.1 so the installation seems to be correct.
I was really looking forward for the lens correction part, because this would be a really useful feature.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sincerely Borg

According to the Camera Raw thread I have linked, that feature isn't available in PSE.

Where can I find lens correction profiles for EF 17-35 f/2.8L lens using ACR 6.2?

Using Photoshop CS5 Extended on iMac 10.6.4.
I'm working with wedding photos shot by a friend but I cannot find lens correction profiles for Canon EOS 20D or the EF 17-35 f/2.8L lens. When I search online it simply says "No online profiles found". Is there a download for older lens profiles? I checked & I'm using ACR 6.2. I don't have the camera so there's no way to take test photos to create my own profile. But, shouldn't there be a profile available; the camera isn't that old?

Go to DXO Pro and download the 30 day trial. It works very well for lens/body correction, and unlike Adobe, DXO maintains data on the older cameras and lenses. Updates will always have those available. Adobe is a latecomer to this part of the correction process, so as Ian said, no call, no supplier? Out of luck.
http://www.dxo.com/intl/photo
It's fair to note that DXO does not necessarily have a complete line of everything, like my Tamron 28 to 75 isn't available as a module. They do pay attention to demands, or lack therof, that are not mainstream as well. But their offerings are excellent, and the tests, professional.

ACR 8.7 release candidate, Nikon D750, Lens corrections tab

I capture images using a Nikon D750 & AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR lens with image quality set for NEF (RAW) + JPEG fine & image size set for Large. Slot 1 card saves the NEF files & slot 2 card saves the JPEG files. I download the images using Bridge CC Photo Downloader converting the NEF to a DNG while downloading. When editing the DNG image using the Lens Corrections tab in ACR it correctly recognizes the lens. When editing the JPEG image the same way it incorrectly identifies the lens as an AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED and does not offer a choice for the correct lens. I hoping this can be fixed soon. A workaround that seems fairly accurate is to choose the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70 f2.8G ED instead for the JPEG images.
I recently had to install Camera Raw 8.7 for CC Release Candidate Version: RC 1, Date: October 2, 2014 to recognize the D750 NEF files.

What you’re seeing is normal. Most lens profiles from Adobe are for RAW files only. Many cameras do their own corrections, nowadays, so Adobe cannot assume the raw profile would work for JPGs from the camera as a general case. For example with my new Canon 7D Mark II, which I'm awaiting raw support for at all, I can select vignetting, chromatic-aberration and geometric distortion correction as separate items on the menu to be used for producing camera JPGs. Adobe doesn't attempt to interpret such proprietary information and apply the appropriate correction for corrections I haven't already asked the camera to do, they just don't supply a lens profile at all for JPGs. The kit lenses for some cameras seem to be the exception to this, as well as a few other lenses, which I'm not sure why they've supplied profiles for. You can also download profiles others have created, themselves, using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader which you can find on the adobe.com site.
If you are confident you won't ever have distortion or vignetting correction enabled on your camera for the JPGs it produces, then you can hack a copy of the Adobe-supplied raw profile for a particular lens to be for non-raws, by changing the whateverRAW tag from True to False, and put the modified profile in the user-created profiles area of your computer and it’ll be seen and used.

ACR 6.1 vs DXO Lens Correction?

I have been experimenting with the lens correction module in ACR 6.1, which has profiles for two lenses I own, the Nikkor AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 G and the Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 G IF-ED VR, and am quite pleased with the results. The 18-70 lens is a decent consumer grade zoom that has good resolution and little chromatic aberration, but which suffers from distortion at the wide end and vignetting at large apertures. From visual onscreen editing, the vignetting is completely removed from the images and the barrel distortion at wide angle settings is sufficiently well controlled that thus far I have seen no need for manual touching up of the distortion correction.
DxO (an Adobe rival) has criticized the ACR module as offering undercorrection of distortion and vignetting under some conditions, suggesting that the Adobe profiling procedures are not sufficiently rigorous. That may be so, but thus far I have seen no major defects and they gave no examples and I am wondering what the experience of other ACR users might be.
http://www.dpreview.com/news/1005/10052001adobedxoensprofile.asp
The 70-200 zoom was highly regarded for use with APS sized sensors, but full frame users have noted an alarming degree of softenss in the corners of the image. With ACR, one could attempt to provide extra sharpening at the edges of the image with an adjustment brush, but DXO claims to automatically correct for uneven sharpness across the image field. They don't say how this is achieved, but the web site explanation hints at something more sophisticated than a variable unsharp mask (perhaps a variable deconvoluiton algorithm) and I would be interested how this works out in practice.

I hardly know where to start!
Anyway, looking at the list of available lenses, the list for Photoshop Nikon optics is extensive, and also has at least one error. The list for ACR is far less, and my principal lens isn't present. The problem with that item is that, if you choose Custom and your lens isn't on the list, it reverts to the first lens on the list and corrects the image for that. In Auto, it tells you it isn't on the list, so I would urge the use of Auto at all times when operating with commercially available lenses.
In PSCS5, my basic lens also is not present; (18 to 105 mm), but there is a lens, 18 to 125 which is not in the Nikon line. This appears to be an error. Is this the 18 to 105?
I have serious reservations with the idea of "Photographer Empowerment" with respect to lens corrections. I hope that if you publish this data it is in it's own category to which I can ignore. Lens measurement, data collection and conclusions is an intense activity and is best left to the professionals as is photo editing software. DXO knows what they are doing. The concept of "Photographer Empowerment" indicates to me Adobe does not know what it is doing. This makes me very nervous, to say the least.
Let me give you an example. I ran an image from my 70 to 300mm lens, which is on the charts, through both DXO and ACR 6.1, then set one over the other in Layers. Switching back and forth showe a vast difference in the correction for barrel/pincushion and vignetting. Which is right?
FYI, I always have two sets of raw data when anticipating running the DXO corrections so that there is no preconditioning by either party when running such tests. Also, I use DXO only for lens correction activities. Their RAW converter, imo, cannot compare to even CS3, for reasons I won't go into here. There are cheaper programs for doing barrel, vignette and such, but DXO also provides corrections for other lens errors, which makes it well worth while.
To answer my own question is that, in architectural photos, DXO is on the money. The only way to tell for sure is an optical setup that is precise and repeatable.
Finally, here is a site that uses the DXO software to provide lens tests that are extensive and comprehensive, all for the practicing photographer. Using their data for inclusion in the ACR correction would be a good start, not Photographer Empowerment.

I use them once I have narrowed down the field to a few lenses and haven't been disappointed.

Is Lens Correction Currently in ACR 6.0 ?

I'm sure this is a really dumb question, but I can't find if the ACR Lens Distortion Correction is only available in the New ACR 6.1 Release candidate or if it's supposed to also be in ACR 6.0
I have ACR 6.0 installed and have the Lens Correction Tab, but it doesn't contain any Lens Distortion corrections. I have to currently go into PSCS5 to use the Lens Distortion Filter.
Is the Distortion Tab only available in the 6.1 release candidate?
Thanks

Is the Distortion Tab only available in the 6.1 release candidate?
Yes.

Missing lens corrections in ACR

I have an old version of CS5. The lens corrections in ACR are missing. How can I recover them?

Then update your ACR version of 6.7.1. That long ago you could still download updates and run the installer manually:
Mac: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh
Win: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows
I still have CS5 for test purposes, and this is what the ACR 6.7 Lens Correction interface should look like when adjusting a raw file, in this case a DNG:
And here is what a JPG looks like, which is the same, since neither file has a lens profile that can be found for it:
I can't take credit for either photo, as they both were downloaded from somewhere or posted to these forums as example images with issues.

Can you add new camera and lenses to lens correction profile module

I refer to Lightroom version 3.6. I have purchased a panasonic-gx1 plus 14-42mm & 45-175mm lenses and would like to add the lens profiles to the lens correction module. Appreciate if someone could let me know if this possible?

The GX1 is supported on 3.6.
If the lens profiles you need are not available in 3.6 use can use the downloader to check for availability or create by yourself.
