Canon 8-15mm f4 lens profile in lightroom 5 is not there

Does anyone know what lens profile to use for the Canon 8-15mm f4 fisheye in lightroom 5

I have the Canon EF 8-15mm fisheye lens and use it on both the 5D MKII full-frame and 600D 1.6 crop bodies. This lens exhibits very little vignetting at all focal lengths on either body and of course exhibits 100% distortion.
The biggest issue with this lens is lateral and axial chromatic aberration. Selecting 'Remove Chromatic Aberration' does a good job of removing the lateral CA, but there is still significant axial CA present. To correct the axial CA I use the Defringe tool. Using too high of a Defringe setting can desaturate like colors (i.e. purple) in the actual image, but the following Defringe settings work well with virtually all images without any significant desaturation:
Full-Frame, 1.6 & 1.3 Crop Body
8-12mm: Amount = 2, Purple Hue = 30/55
13-15mm: Amount = 4, Purple Hue = 30/55
If you are trying to rectilinear correct your images so they don't exhibit fisheye distortion the Canon 7D lens profile for the 8-15mm available in the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader will do that for both full-frame and 1.6 crop bodies. Unfortunately there is significant softness in the outer area of the image. It also does a fairly good job of correcting the small amount of vignetting on both bodies.
I also use the PS Adaptive Wide Angle filter and Fisheye Hemi plugin with much better performance concerning sharpness, but without full distortion correction. For landscape work the image looks virtually 100% rectilinear.
You can read my review of this lens on Amazon for more details on the LR settings I use:

Adding a lens profile to Lightroom 3?

How do add a lens profile to Lightroom 3. (specifically a Canon 16-35 f4 LIS). Thanks.

Hello,

Missing Canon lens profile into lightroom

Hi Guys
I have LR4.1 and I just realized that I am missing the one for my 100-400 f4,5/5,6
any idea how can I get it ?
Many thanks
have a super day, Thierry

It is possible to save a duplicate of the lens profile file, and "kludge" it from Raw to non-Raw using a text editor. This generally works well enough; much better than manual corrections alone - provided that the camera is not also applying lens correction, and so confusing matters.

Removing Photoshop Elements 9 caused missing lens profiles in Lightroom 3.3

After my trial on Photoshop Elements 9 expired I removed it from my Windows Vista system. The next time I started Lightroom 3.3 I tried to apply a Canon lens profile to some new images and the profile was missing, not only was it not on the list, none of the 862 images taken with this lens had the profile applyed to them anymore. I tried to repair the installation and it failed saying I was missing components. I then tried to upgrade to RC 3.4 & it failed with the same message. I finally thought it might have been caused by the removal of Photoshop Elements so I went to the restore point that it did prior to removal. Now I have the lens profile back that was missing the Canon EF28-135mm profile as well as to the other 862 images. My question is should there be anything else I should look for to see if it is missing or damaged? Thanks - Larry

Larry,
The common part between LR and PSE is the Camera Raw part (ACR). It's settings are contained in 2 different locations:
1) General ACR configuration files:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw
This directory contains lens and camera profiles installed with LR
2) User related configuration files:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw
This directory usually contains:
Downloaded/created lens profiles
ACR defaults (like ACR cache size, any defaults set in LR)
Downloaded/created camera profiles
You might want to check the content of those 2 locations. One other alternative would be to uninstall and re-install LR, which should take care of the factory supplied profiles.

Help with importing lens profile to Lightroom 5.4 for Windows

Hi,
I'm running Adoble Lightroom 5.4 on Windows. I recently bought a Rokinon 14mm lens for Canon and have a couple lens profiles that I want to try out. I have already tried importing to the two following locations below and nothing showed up when I restarted Lightroom. Any solutions?@@
C: > Users > User > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > CameraRaw > LensProfiles > 1.0 > Then I created a folder called Downloaded > Then I created another folder inside the folder Downloaded called Rokinon and dropped the lens profiles in there.
Here is the other one I tried:
C: > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.4 > Resources > LensProfiles > 1.0 > Then I created a folder called called Rokinon and dropped the lens profiles in there.

Something is weird about this lens profile file. It appears to be for a Canon 85mm lens, not a Samyang 14mm lens, and, as you say, this profile is for JPG files not RAW files. If you want it to apply to raw files you need to change the CameraRawProfile from False to True.
After changing the False to True, because the Make is set to Canon you have to go to the Canon lens list not the Samyang list in the Lens Profile selection dropdown list, or edit the Make to have Samyang..
Because there is an 85 for several focal-length numbers, not 14, I think the correction being applied may be totally wrong. Where did you get this lens profile file? The other profile file you sent has 50mm in some focal-length areas and 85 in others.
To be able to tell if this, or the other profile, is reasonable, you probably need to take a picture of something with a grid of lines, like a brick wall and see if there is barrel or pincushion distortion that is corrected or worsened.
Here is a screencapture of the file as it looks in a text editor with notes about what seems wrong:

Adding a Lens Profile to lightroom from Adobe lens profile creator

Hi, I just made a lens profile from the lens profile creator for my Canon 80-200 2.8L. I then added the profile to the 1.0 folder that holds all the other lens profiles. However, lightroom does not list to profile as an option in the lens profiles. Is there something else that I need to do?

While the more recent PDF link still works, the “Lightroom Queen” has done some recent website maintenance and the URL for default locations of files is different:
http://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/lightroom-5-default-locations/
Obviously the link I provided had my username “Steve” in it and you’d be substituting your username, instead. Also the AppData folder is hidden so you have to either enable viewing hidden folders in Explorer or just type it into the Explorer address bar and hit Enter.
The other issue you might have, which was already talked about in the preceding discussion, is that camera profiles are specific to raw or non-raw formats and if what is in your DNG is a JPG then perhaps it wouldn’t work.
Would you mind providing the DNG and the associated camera profile via a website like dropbox.com and if you have it, the original file that was wrapped up as a DNG?

Lightroom Bug: with GoPro Hero4 Silver Lens Profile, crop settings do not sync properly in Lightroom 5.7.1 when Constrain To Warp is checked

I was having a bit of difficultly in getting crop settings to properly sync in Lightroom 5.7.1 (running on OS X 10.10.1) when Constrain to Warp was checked. This appears to be a bug in the latest version(s) of Lightroom that include(s) the GoPro Hero4 Silver Lens Profile settings. I'm working with a lot of files from a GoPro Hero4 Silver camera shot in the time-lapse / interval timer mode. All of them are horizontal with the same resolution (and dimensions). I've tried various sequences to get this to work in terms of using Auto-Sync, resetting the settings on all images except one and then copy and pasting settings, etc, though the crop is not properly syncing regardless of what I do.
Here's are instructions of how to duplicate this issue (there are some extra details/steps here, though this should be clear enough to produce the same result):
     1. in the Develop settings for a single selected image, go to Lens Corrections, click to Enable Profile Corrections (in the Profile tab), and then pick the GoPro Hero4 Silver Edition (Adobe Profile) if it is not automatically chosen for you (if you are using files from a Hero4 Silver camera). After this, click on the Manual tab, and set the Scale setting to 76. (as you will see, you now have the full horizontal width of the image that was getting cropped off, though you do see white around the edges that have been warped/shaped to correct the fisheye distortion)
     2. Press the R key (or click on the Crop Overlay tool just below the histogram). Change the Aspect option to Custom. Click to unlock the lock next to it (this seems to re-lock after setting to custom even if it was locked before). Place a checkmark next to the Constrain To Warp option. (At this point, you'll see the image gets cropped back to an approximately 4:3 ratio and the full horizontal width is not included in the cropped area) Click the upper right most corner of the crop area and drag as much to the right and top as it lets you go. Do the same for the lower left corner, dragging it as far to the bottom left as you can go. (Now, you will see that your cropped area is the maximum rectangular width and height you can select without getting any of the excessive white area) Click the Close button (or press R again) to leave the crop overlay tool.
     3. Press G to go back to the grid of images. Make sure the image you just adjusted the settings for is the only one selected. Right click on it, go to Develop Settings, and click Copy Settings. Click Check All on the window that appears and then click Copy.
     4. De-select the image you were working on. Select multiple other images in the grid. Right click on one of these, go to Develop Settings, and click Paste Settings. (at this point, you will see their aspect ratio has become more panoramic than the 4:3 aspect ratio the images previously were)
     5. De-select these images. Select one of these image, and then press D to go to the Develop settings for this image. Press R to go to the Crop Overlay tool. Here you will see the bug where the crop was not properly copied over from the first image. The selected area is smaller than the full width and height available to crop.
It seems that the bug is that Lightroom is only copying the aspect ratio (and the other settings), but not the actual crop selection.
I just thought of a workaround that I've tested and can confirm works (and will also work in a slightly different workflow than above). In step 1 above, for the Model (and Profile), manually pick the "GoPro Hero4 Black Edition" or the "GoPro Hero3-Silver Edition". If using the "Hero3-Silver" setting, the Scale (also in step 1 above) need only be set to 79 (rather than 76 for the Hero4 profiles). By picking one of these Lens Profiles and doing everything else the same as the other steps above, the crop settings do copy and paste properly. This does also appear to work properly when selecting the "GoPro Hero3-White Edition" Lens Profile, with a Scale setting of 75, which yields a slightly more rectilinear image (with a wider aspect ratio -- almost, but not quite 16:9).
While this isn't too big of deal as it does work by picking one of the other lens profiles (and the Hero4 Black Edition profile appears to make the same exact correction to the image), this was incredibly frustrating last night to notice that some files had the proper horizontal field of view / crop and others didn't, and other users may experience this or not even notice their crop is not copied properly (as, depending on one's composition and image, it's not extremely obvious with such a wide view).
I hope this discovery helps someone else and provides feedback for Adobe to correct this issue in the next version of Lightroom 5.
On a separate, additional note for Adobe: Please allow the crop overlay tool to "crop" an image to a size that is larger than the original dimensions of the image. This would allow for one to retain maximum original sharpness in the center of the image when using the Lens Profile tool to correct, or "de-fish" a lens, without having to scale the image down with the Scale option on the Manual tab of the Lens Corrections settings. For example, when I do the above process selecting the Hero3-White Edition profile, my final image dimensions are 3840 by 2257 pixels, reducing the size of the image in the center by 25%. If the tool allowed one to crop/scale a larger image size, and I kept the Scale option of the Lens Corrections settings at 100 rather than 75, my final image dimensions would be 5120 by 3009 pixels (larger than the 4000 by 3000 pixel dimensions of the original image which the tool now limits me to). Yes, the edges would be a little softer but the center would retain the original detail. (this is essentially what the Calculate Optimal Size button found in the Hugin open source software does, when using it on a single image for lens transformations/corrections)

Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

Import lens profile into Lightroom 4.3

Hi,
As my camera is fairly "old", lightroom does not have a lens correction profile for it. I have created a lens correction profile with Adobe Lens Profile Creator. Now how can I import this profile in Lightroom?
Thanks

Are you are on a Mac? I am on Windows and the locations for the profiles given above are for Windows, not a Mac.
With LR 4.3, you cannot put the user profiles into the folder with the Adobe profiles. I can't tell you how things work on a Mac nor exactly where they should go without Googling where user profiles go on a Mac.
I can say that I put the profile you supplied into this exact folder on my Windows 7 computer and it worked right off, as soon as I enabled lens profile corrections for the JPG:
C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Downloaded
as evidenced by the righthand panel in this screenshot:
However, as you can see with the before and after portion of the screenshot, there appears to be something wrong with at least the vignetting correction, because the corners are over-lightened, and almost the entire image is much brighter with the lens profile applied. I've never created a lens profile to know if what I'm seeing is due to a common mistake when creating profiles such as uneven lighting, or if perhaps the profile doesn't have enough different focal-length combinations so it is applying a correction for a completely different position of the lens and overlightening. Or perhaps the vignetting has already been corrected in the JPG that was supplied so now it is being double-corrected by applying the profile, again.

How to use lens profile from Lightroom 5 in Lightroom 4

I'm using Lightroom 4.4 on a five-year-old iMac. I haven't been able to upgrade to LR 5 because it requires an operating system upgrade, but the technicians at the Apple Store say my machine is too old for the upgrade. I just bought a new Sony 18-105 lens which requires siginificant software lens correction. It has been included in the latest ACR in LR 5, but not LR 4. Is there any way I can locate and load the lens profile for just this one lens in my LR4? I've looked and there is no profile in the Adobe Porfile Downloader I can use.

Zenfolio purposely disables saving of images from the gallery, so requires some deviousness to get to a smallish version of the underlying JPG image, here:
http://fiegenschuhphotography.zenfolio.com/cdn/pub/uf9epzjb9ekl/0/null/mk/2ho0rvxl_mbq61ne tqcu/s2/v61/p207717972-3.jpg
Figgie123, can you provide an original-sized raw file to test with? Upload it to somewhere like www.dropbox.com then post the public download link, here. The file on Zenfolio is small, difficult to even download, and isn't what you're working with when the lens profiles are not working for you. The idea is to repeat what you're doing to see if we have the same issues.
Here is what applying a Sony E PZ 18-105 F4 G OSS profile looks like in Photoshop Lens Corrections and I don't really see any change compared with the Zenfolio image:

Photoshop Lens profiles in Lightroom?

There are so many more lens profiles in Photoshop, including one I need that is not in Lightroom. Is there a way to use or access those photoshop profiles without having to export or edit in photoshop?
thanks in advance,
J

If your camera supports RAW file format output (.raw, .crw, .cr2, .nef, etc.), you may be better served by using it. The benefits in LR to using RAW files go far beyond more available lens profiles. Here's a 'short and sweet' example:
http://www.prophotoshow.net/2010/04/30/jpeg-vs-raw-example-conclusion/
Since you are already using LR (RAW image processing application) the only benefits of shooting JPEG are:
1) You can fit more pictures on your memory card. Pricing today is dirt cheap and will only come down!
2) You can shoot more pictures in "continuous" before your camera's memory buffer fills up and slows down shooting. So for those few occasions go ahead and shoot JPEG, but be aware of the limitations you will have later when processing the images in LR.
3) JPEGs take up less space on my primary and backup hard drive(s). Again, hard drives are dirt cheap and will only come down in price.
In addition Adobe and other digital editing software developers keep improving their application's RAW file processing capabilities. So by saving your images in RAW file format you can benefit from these improvements in the future. The differences between LR 1.0 and 3.3 RAW processing are remarkable!
It's obvious you are serious about photography. If your camera doesn't support RAW file format output, you should consider one on your next camera purchase.

Lens Profiles in Lightroom 3

I've created a lens profile for the Olympus E-P2 M.9-18mm F4.0-5.6 lens using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator. I used RAW files converted to DNG. However, I cannot figure out where to put the profile so that Lightroom recognizes it. Initially, I saved the profile to the default location chosen by the Profile Creator, but this didn't work, though Photoshop finds it with no difficulty. Can anyone help?

I'm using Windows 7 64x so I can't comment on a Mac but suspect the same applies. Two downloaded profiles were stored in a default user location - the same place that Lens Profile Creator would file it but the default location for Lightroom profiles was the shared profiles location. I simply copied the only two profiles across from user location to the shared location After a relaunch Lightroom placed them at the bottom of my list.
See http://www.computer-darkroom.com/blog/lens-correction-profiles/
Quoted below

Can't find lens profiles on lightroom anymore...

So the other day I went to go set lens corrections on a picture in lightroom 3 (windows 7 64 bit version) and all the lens profiles were gone, except one for the apple iphone, which is no help to me. I don't know what happened. please help?
Also, I've been having issues importing photos, I keep ending up with 3 copies of each picture.
Not to mention LR keeps freezing up...

Do you mean you can only see Apple in the Make box after you enable Camera Profiles, or are other camera/lens manufacturers also listed and Apple is just the first one, with 3 iPhone model options?
If Apple is your only Make choice, then you can check to see if the profile folders and files still exist on Windows 7, since it's possible all the Adobe ones are gone or inaccessible due to some security issue, and only a custom-downloaded one is shown.
The Adobe-installed profiles are in two places:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw
C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\CameraRaw
And any user-installed profiles go under:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw
The AppData and ProgramData folders in the above paths are hidden or system so they won't necessarily show up in Explorer clicking down from the root of the C: drive, unless you have changed your folder options to show hidden and system files, but you can type in the path in the address bar of Explorer and get to the folders even if they are hidden.
Selecting Auto will try to find the right camera profile based on the EXIF information in the photo, but you should be able to choose Custom and select any manufacturer. The profiles are specific for either RAW or JPG files, though.

The lens profile creator program is not installed on my pc (windows 7 - 32 bits)

After downloading the Adobe Lens Profile Creator and decompress, creates the folder: Adobe Lens Profile Creator 1.0
Inside the folder are the following files:
calibration charts
documentation
sample images
Adobe Lens Profile Creator.exe
cv100.dll
cxcore100.dll
libifcoremd.dll
libifportmd.dll
libmmd.dll
So, I double click the file: Adobe Lens Profile Creator.exe
The following message appears:

Lens Profiles created from DNG not always available

I have created a series of lens profiles for a couple of cameras based on RAW files which were then converted to DNG for the Profile Creator.
They have been placed where the canned profiles are found, all well and good. However I notice that in LR3 my custom profiles are not seen when a jpg file is involved although they are available for RAW files. Strangely both files types have the profiles available under CS5 when either jpg or raw is involved. Is this normal, or do I have to create fresh set of Profiles created from jpg's, in order to have full functionality in LR3?

The profile used for JPEG, TIFF, etc must be created from rendered images, not the raws. So, yes you need to convert the raws to JPEG or TIFF then run them through the creator application.
Lens profiles for raw images will have "(raw)" at end of profile name. The word "raw" will be absent from those created from rendered images.
CS5 allows you to download both types of lens profile, but they are separate profiles. Camera Raw and Lr3 will only allow you to use profiles ending "(raw)" with raw files whereas the CS5 Lens Correction plug-in erroneously, in my opinion, allows you to use both.

Canon 60D w/ EF-S 15-85 IS USM missing lens profile in Lightroom 4

This is a Canon kit combination and it seems odd that it's not included in the Canon profile for lens correction. The EF-S 10-22 IS USM is there which is not a kit lens and quite expensive. Am I missing a step or do I have to download additional lenses from Adobe? I'd rather not get into downloading someone's guess from the profile creator if I can avoid it.

It is included, but it's a raw-only profile.
There are also two on the downloader, one of which I produced. It has nothing to do with guessing.
