Custom lens profile not working

I decided to create a custome lens profile for my old Canon EF 17-35 2.8 L USM lens. I downloaded the Adobe Lens Profile creator and studied documentation. After figuring out it is time taking process I finally decided to shoot over 500 hundred images with the lens in RAW format with my 5D Mark III.
First I was a little too optimistic and imported all the photos to ALPC without separating them to distance groups. I shot 9 photo sets with apertures 2.8, 4, 5.6 and 8, focal lengths 17,  20, 24, 28 and 35 from 3 different distances. The ALPC created the profile ok (there were some skipped photos) and I can select that profile both in LR5.2 and PS CC. However nothing changes in the picture when I select that profile. I read the documentation again and decided to start again with just one set of 9 pictures (17mm, 8.0, one shooting position) profile gets created and is selectable in LR and PS, but it affects nothing. Even if the target photo (RAW) is shot with different focal length or aperture, shouldn't the approximation used then and some visual change to be seen?
What am I doing wrong?

Please send the profile and an example raw image (taken with this 17-35 lens) to me at [email protected] (dropbox, yousendit.com, etc.).  It will help me determine what is going wrong.

  • Lens Profiles not working in Lightroom 5.4?

    I've got OSX 10.9.2, Lightroom 5.4, latest Camera raw, everything up to date.
    When I "Enable Profile Corrections" for an image shot with a Sony a7r and Sony FE 55mm lens, it should automatically retrieve this profile:
      /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Sony/SONY (Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA) - RAW.lcp
    Well, it doesn't.  The only Sony lens available in Lightroom's Lens Correction panel is "Sony DT 18-200mm."  But there are several dozen Sony lense profiles in the "Sony" directory.
    And more puzzling, the camera "Make" menu lists 8 manufacturers (Apple, Canon, DJI, GoPro, Nikon, Sigma, Sony, Tamron) but leaves out a number of others — Fujifilm, Hasselblad, Leica, Mamiya, etc.
    And as with Sony, only one Tamron lens is listed.
    I've tried re-installing Lightroom fresh, and no luck. 
    Photoshop works fine and has all the lens profiles.
    Anyone else noticing this?  Got a fix?
    Irked in Cambridge,

    I only shoot in RAW, and I am having this same issue. I shoot Nikon with a Tokina lens. This morning, Tuesday October 14, 2014, I had this setting. I closed the program and restarted it, and now I only have Apple, Canon, DJI, GoPro, Nikon, Sigma, Sony, Tamron lens profiles. There was not an update, nor did I actually change any settings. What is going on here?
    I talked to customer support, whom suggested that I was stoned out of my mind because these profiles do not exist in lightroom. I did as the rep asked, followed the link and downloaded the "new" profile. Now I can't get it installed. Meanwhile, my photos are waiting for me to edit them. Can someone please help out here?!

  • Lens profiles not working well

    Very disappointed here. I was looking forward to the automatic lens  correction a la DXoin PS , but unfortunately it doesnt work very well. I tried all my lenses and none gets corrected by the included profiles to a satisfactory degree. My camera is the Canon EOS 50D . First I used the profile for the Canon 10-22 lens.  The profiles did not correct Ca to a usable degree. I had to make strong manually adjustements to get rid of the CA.
    I also tried other lens  profiles.  None actually corrects CA well. The profile for the 17-85 requires +25  R/C and +50 B/Y to eliminate the CA. The profile for  the 70-200   requires less extreme correction,  but still doesnt work with out manual  adjustement, although the lens just returned from Canon service, where  it was for optical inspection and readjustment.
    There is also one more  bug. When I switich distortion correction on, additional CA is  introduced into the picture. The Ca correction required to correct the  automatic CA correction changes, depending on whether distorion  correction is used or not.  Sorry but this performance is not usful at  all, if I have to tweak each and every profile manually and re-tweak it  again, if I adjust geometric distortion. DXO works much better in this  regard.

    I don't use these features, since I don't have such a cam, but could it be that you may need to input settings for filmback and distance of the lens mount somewhere? If the program operated based on wrong assumprions, the best profile in the world would be wrong...

  • 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.

  • Ukelele generated custom keyboard layouts not working in Lion?

    I asked this question in the stackexchange site a few days ago.  Nothing I've tried has worked so far, except for creating a new account.  Because a fresh account works, it's got to be something with my preferences, right?
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/21691/ukelele-generated-custom-keyboard -layouts-not-working-in-lion
    Here's the question from above:
    I created a custom keyboard layout with Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/ukelele) in Snow Leopard (idea is to generate scandinavian letters with Alt-key, otherwise have a pretty much standard U.S. layout). After the upgrade, the old installed (to ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts) layout wasn't working.
    Ukelele seems to work OK in Lion, but whether I put the generated keylayout in a bundle or single file, or save it "/Library/Keyboard Layouts" or "~/Library/Keyboard Layouts" doesn't seem to matter.
    Help?
    EDIT:
    @Sergio, I cannot choose the layout in Input Sources. One keylayout file I tried:http://semeai.org/~sjl/us-scands.keylayout
    [EDIT: Removed unrelated stuff]
    UPDATE 2011/08/15:
    @Tom:
    Copied your keylayout (it naturally ended up in my Junk folder):
    midgard (01:55) >ls -l ~/Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/MongolianQWERTY.keylayout-rw-r--r--@ 1 sjl  staff  44536 Mar 13  2008 /Users/sjl/Library/Keyboard Layouts/MongolianQWERTY.keylayout
    Logged out, logged in, isn't showing in Input sources (I'm looking very closely between "Maori" and "Myanmar - QWERTY").
    I've also uninstalled bunch of software and plugins giving suspicious messages to system.log, but hasn't helped.
    UPDATE 2011/08/16:
    I created a test account, and lo, the layout works perfectly for it. Also the bug in preferences doesn't show for that account. When trying this on my own account, there are no errors in Console logs with the suggested keywords (I can't seem to locate console.log file, though).
    UPDATE 2011/08/16 later:
    Nuking Library/Caches (and relogging) didn't help.
    UPDATE 2011/08/17:
    I did
    % find Library -name "*.plist" -exec mv {} {}.renamed \;
    and restarted, but it didn't help. I restored the situation with
    % for file in `find Library -name "*.plist.renamed"`; \  do mv "$file" "${file//.renamed/}"; done
    addendum: I also went through all the .plist files with plutil -s as described inhttp://www.askdavetaylor.com/can_i_check_my_plist_files_in_mac_os_x_for_problems .html. There was some brokennes, but in very unrelated applications.

    Tom,
    I think I love you.
    That absolutely did it! Thanks so much!
    If you'll answer with the same link in the stackexchange site, I'll mark the answer as correct, so you'll get the rep there.
    Thanks,
    Sami

  • Safari 5.1 customized keyboard shortcut not working

    I've just updated safari on snow leopard and my customized keyboard shortcut: go to next/previous panel (ctrl -> and ctrl <-) don't work anymore even if i set them in my system preferences

    I'm also experiencing issues with custom keyboard shortcuts not working after the update to Safari 5.1. I had no problems with the previous version of Safari.... I wish I had not updated.

  • Loading Known Lens Profiles (Not custom)

    Under Lens Corrections in ACR I get the following error message : "Unable to locate a matching lens profile automatically." How do I install the known profiles as I believe the lenses I use are well known and are in the adobe list of common profiles?
    Thank you.

  • IOS Device-Sensor and ISE profiling not working

    Hello,
    I configured IOS device-sensor on one 2960CG-8-TCL switch. IOS is 15.2(2)E.
    Switchconfig:
    device-sensor filter-list dhcp list dhcp-list
     option name host-name
    device-sensor filter-spec dhcp include list dhcp-list
    device-sensor accounting
    device-sensor notify all-changes
    Switch does DHCP-Snooping and "show device-sensor cache all" shows the DHCP name:
    Device: b2b5.2fff.sa43 on port GigabitEthernet0/1
    Proto Type:Name                       Len Value
    DHCP    12:host-name                   17 0C 0F 11 31 22 41 50 43 33 31 32 30 30 30 37 38
                                              38
    RADIUS probe on ISE is activated and TCPdump shows the accounting packets from the switch (see attachment).
    I configured a profiling rule ot check for DHCP-Hostname with "contains". This rule does not work however. The device is getting profiled with a MAC-OUI via RADIUS-probe but the DHCP-Profile is not working.
    Is this supposed to work?

    That is interesting. I haven't worked with the "Device Sensor" much so I am running out of ideas. I really thought the certainty level was going to fix your issue as I have had issues similar like yours in the past where the certainty level of my custom rule was the same as a default one so mine custom rule was never hit. . I thought this was the case with you since your device was hitting the parent policy of "HP-Device" but not moving any further. With that being  l would still recommend keeping your custom conditions with higher certainty levels to avoid such situations.
    Couple of more things:
    1. What profiling probes do you have enabled?
    2. Have you tried retrieving the DHCP hostname via another sensor/method. For example, via the DHCP probe and ip-helper?
    3. Do you have the following commands entered on your switch:
    access-session template monitor
    no macro auto monitor
    device-sensor accounting
    device-sensor notify all-changes

  • Lens profile not recognized by LR 5.3

    At work, on a Windows 7 laptop, I used the Adobe Lens Profile Creator utility to make an LCP file for a Nikon 1 6.7-13mm zoom lens.  After submitting that LCP file to adobe via email, I copied it to my Dropbox.  At home, on my Mac OS X 10.8.5, I copied the LCP file from the Dropbox to:
    \Library\Application Support\Adobe\Camera Raw\Lens Profiles\1.0\
    Then I launched LR 5.3, navigated to a raw (NEF) image shot with this lens, and attempted to apply the lens correction in the Develop pane.  Although the Library correctly shows the meta data for the lens and camera, the Lens Correction section in Develop does not even list that lenses LCP file in the drop down menu.  Instead, LR attempts to apply a different lens profile which does not match the focal length of the zoom.  I'm wondering if the LCP file that I created will only work on a Windows PC since that is where it was created?  What other explanation could there be for this problem?  Thanks for any advice...

    Update - I stayed up late last night and re-ran the lens profile creator at home on my Mac OS X 10.8.5.  Placed that LCP file in the directory I originally mentioned above (I overwrote the earlier LCP file created on a Windows machine), launched LR 5.3, and LR successfully matched the new profile with my lens.
    Lesson learned - an LCP file created on Windows OS cannot be used on a Mac, and I assume, vice versa.  In retrospect, this shouldn't be a surprise (but some other file formats appear to work on either).  I wonder if Adobe translates user submitted LCP files from one platform to the other, so that downloads are offered to the community equally on either platform...

  • Lens Profile Not Showing Up in Lightroom 5.7

    Despite the profile for a particular lens appearing in (what I presume to be) the correct places on my hard drive (see paths below), the lens profile does not appear in the drop-down within LR panel for Lens Corrections / Lens Profile.  Other new Sony lenses (FE series) do show up but not ALL of them that are in either location (paths below).  Weird.  What am I missing?
    The profile does show up in ACR 8.8.  Similarly, Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 populates the profile automatically when I use Filter>Lens Correction but it just won't appear in Lightroom.
    Background: CC subscriber, Lightroom 5.7.1, Win 8.1, 64-bit; I have restarted my computer and LR several times.
    Profile that is not appearing: SONY (Sony FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS) - RAW.lcp
    I see it here:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1\Resources\LensProfiles\1.0\Sony
    and here:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Sony
    The camera (Sony a7ii) also appears in the related "Camera Profile" locations and it does show up in the "Make" drop-down in LR.
    Thanks for any help,
    Bill

    Thank you.
    Worked perfectly.

  • Lens profiles not available in Lightroom CC

    I have downloaded and installed lens profiles but they do not show in Lightroom CC as choices in the drop down menu? They were there for Lightroom 4 but not since I purchased and installed Lightroom 5 via the Creative Cloud?

    I have downloaded lens profiles in an analogous folder on my computer and they work ok, so you're putting them in the right place, assuming you're logged in as user Michael.
    The other thing is are the photos you're opening RAW or non-RAW, and is the lens-profile you're hoping to use for RAW or non-RAW, and is it for the same camera manufacturer (Canon, Nikon, etc) as your photos?

  • Lens Profile Not Automatically Selecting Anymore...?

    Hello all,
    I have been using LR3 for a little while and I was excited when the 3.3 update added lens profile support for my last unsupported lens--the newer Tamron 70-300 VC USD. Now, I don't shoot with that lens too much, so I do not have a great number of images since that update, but I SEEM to remember that I tested out a few images and LR3 was correctly choosing lens profile for the 70-300. However, I shot some more images this evening and its not choosing that profile anymore automatically.
    I have done some searching on this forums and tried a few of the troubleshooting steps I found. I have tried to install LR3. No effect. I manually chose the 70-300 profile to ensure that it did have an effect on the picture (so the profile is not missing or anything). And, yes, I am shooting in RAW only, no JPEGs.
    The issue is just that when I load up any images taken with the Tammy 70-300 (all other lens profiles for all my other lenses are loaded automatically), LR3 just gives me the "unable to locate matching profile automatically"
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!!

    Please excuse me for beating a dead horse, but I just want to make sure that I understand. If I manually select the correct profile and then save as default, LR3 will associate all new photos with that correction profile automatically? i.e., I wont have to manually select that profile when I load in new pictures? Is that just working by manually telling LR to associate that profile with this particular *likely faulty or messy* EXIF data set?
    It will save it as the default for that lens and camera combination.
    Fully automatic lens profile selection can only be activated by including a Develop Preset when importing. Fortunately, you need only create one prset a Lr will automatically select the correct profile.

  • Custom color profiles not showing as available in InDesign CC

    This is a college graphic design lab environment with iMacs running 10.9.4 and the CC versions of Adobe programs
    We have a variety of custom color profiles for our specific printers and media.  They're located in a special folder and an alias of that folder is located in /Library/Colorsync/profiles.  The profiles in that folder do not show up  as available for selection in InDesign CC.  They did before the upgrade to the CC version.  They do show up in Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5 and Illustrator CC.  Is this a known InDesign flaw?  Any ideas for a fix... preferably one that doesn't involve moving the profiles?
    Thanks

    I had the same issue when playing with my Xerox Phaser 6110 profiled with colormunki. All software except Aperture (3.0.3) recognized the profile (Color Sync, Print dialog, Preview soft-proffing, even LR 3b2). I too tried all possible locations and none worked.
    Then I opened the profile in ColorSync, and edited (Profiles -> Xerox... -> Open ->'desc' tag) Ascii and unicode descriptions to read aaa.icc and did a Save As aaa.icc and there it was, available in Aperture, too.
    To my great disappointment the soft-proof feature in Aperture seems to be broken for some monitor/printer profile combinations, and is compatibly broken for printing from Aperture. What happens is the resulting image is way too degraded, even beyond the (admittedly crappy) photo printing capabilities of this printer.
    IOW printing the same JPG via Preview and/or soft-proofing with the printer's profile yields way more consistent results. Totally unacceptable for a €200 piece of software.

  • Custom cmyk profile not in proof setup

    Working with Blurb.com Printer Profile CMYK  named Blurb_IC_Profile.ICC
    Opened profile  and saved in Rose/AppData/Local/Adobe/Profile
    Cannot bring it up in soft proof setup.  Also when I close CS5 and reopen the profile is no longer in that location.
    I tried to see if the profile would work with changing the cmyk setting in the color settings under edit.
    CS5 menu comes up and states not a good working cmyk profile and does not load it.
    From what I have read on the Blurb forums people have downloaded this profile and it works.  No replies
    for 2011, last was 2010.
    I wanted to know if there is a special way to load this profile that I'm not aware of as I checked several photoshop sites
    to ensure this was the right spot to put the profile in.
    I am using Srgb setting for the images and  now want to soft proof them in cmyk before sending up to the Blurb they use
    4 color press Hp printers.
    Thanks
    Rose

    If you look closely at the image that states  blurb profile locked – there is a little golden image of a lock next to the blurb profile and it is locked – similar to what
    we see when we open a image for the first time and there is a lock (layer background) so you double click it and then background layer becomes “o” .
    I followed your image.png and your profile too.  I have watched their video 3 or 4 times.  I watched a color management
    color flow for an hour in Blurb. But the one hour video is using a Mac instead of Windows and the profile was already
    installed on the mac but they showed the process on the mac on where to place it – not windows.
    I am doing everything that is shown for windows and where you told me to input the blurb profile,
    However, when I close and reopen photoshop I do not see a blurb profile in proof setup.\
    The 1 hour color management video shows that the profile is named Blurb.icc but it is not in my
    setup for custom proof.   That video is done with a Mac and different placement  folders.
    I can only assume that Blurb.com profile needs to be changed or updated.
    I sent emails to them today again and hope to see some answers monday. 
    There showing a 32 bit profile video instead of 64 bit but you did help me to  get the profile in the right spot.  It is a very short
    video for the download process.  two screens to be exact.
    They don’t have a phone number or I would call them personally.  I have sent emails with pictures today.
    Thank you

  • Outlook beehive from customer site - proxy not working

    I'm trying to use outlook beehive from the customer site network. I'm able to connect to the internet from IE but not able to connect to outlook beehive. The proxy is set in IE. It gives the "Invalid server" error on entering the login information for outlook beehive.

    Hi David,
    Thanks for the response. But it is not working.
    Did the following:
    1) navigation: control panel-->Mail-->Oracle connector for Outlook-->Show profiles button-->Beehive-->Properties button-->Oracle beehive extensions for Outlook-->Properties-->More settings
    2) In connections tab unchecked the direct connection to LAN
    3) In proxy button I set the proxy of the customer site (the SSL port is 443)
    4) Gives the invalid server error
    Similarily tried by checking the "direct connection to LAN" button and using the proxy. But does not work.
    Also, I checked in thunderbird by giving the manual proxy but it does not connect to thunderbird oracle email.
