Directory of Lens profiles in Win 7

In LR4 some lens profiles are not available that are in LR3. It may well have to do with the fact that I "downgraded" some profiles that were only available as RAW versions to non-RAW versions. Unforgivable but I just don't always shoot in RAW. They do show up in LR 3 as I mentioned and I believe that they are stored in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\ but get the idea that LR4 uses some otther directory... Is thatt right?

Sorry, no idea why the change was made....I just know that it was.
In the early days of the LR4beta there were quite a few comments about the respective size (within Program Files) of LR3 and LR4....the latter having a footprint of almost 800mb, LR3 being less than 100mb. To some, this was evidence of sloppy coding and application bloat, but of course they hadn't realised that over 300mb of camera/lens profiles had switched from Program Data (LR3) to Program Files (LR4b). That made the real difference about 400mb, almost all of which is attributable to the 200+mb of Book Templates and the almost 200mb of stuff seemingly video related (in the Support sub-folder).

After upgrade to lightroom 4.3, my canon 7D is not showing up in lens profile correction

I think this happened after upgrading to lightroom 4.2, but I am not sure as I haven't used Lens profile correction in some time.
When I enable the "Enable profile corrections" checkbox in "lens corrections" The Make and model of the lens is recognized, but the profile field has only 2 optoins, "canon EOS 1D MK III" and "Adobe". It does not have any other options including the EOS 7D that I use. Tried uninstalling and installing again, that didn't help.
I found in the forum that for Win 7, lens profile is supposed to be stored in "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0", in my case the LensProfiles directory does not exist. There is a CameraProfiles directory(C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles).
How do I solve this?

There is nothing wrong with your lens profiles.
The issue is that you are adjusting a JPG not a raw file. When adjusting raw files the camera model is not listed with the profile because it doesn’t matter and all of them say Adobe as their source for Canon cameras at least, but when adjusting JPGs the camera may have done certain adjustments internally so it does matter and is why you see the wrong lens-distortion occurring when choosing the 5D Mark III profile with your 7D JPGs.
For the record, I have profiles in both the locations mentioned: under Program Files\...\CameraRaw and under ProgramData\...\Lightroom 4.x. This makes sense because I have both Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom installed. The ones under Lightroom are all dated 12/2012 while the ones under Camera Raw are mostly dated 2/2012 with some from 11/2012 and other dates. The profiles are probably the same, but the Camera Raw ones retain the date of the original profile creation whereas the Lightroom ones all get updated to the same date. Lens profiles can also be installed with the DNG Converter, although I'm not sure which of the two locations those install to.

Adobe Camera Raw Save Settings and Lens Profile Corrections Help

I have been fooling around with Adobe Camera Raw’s (ACR) ability to save settings so that I can apply them to other images. I’m able to set things such as clarity, vibrance, camera profile etc. What I want to do is enable Lens Profile Corrections and have it automatically detect the lens information for future images, apply no distortion corrections and apply vignetting and chromatic aberration corrections. However, when I try this, the Lens profile sticks on “Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM” (which is what I used for creating the settings to be saved) regardless of the lens used for the image that I am applying the settings to. Is there a way do this?
I’m using Photoshop CS6 and ACR current version.
Thanks,
Mike

You should see an Adobe Standard profile and perhaps an ACR x.x profile for your camera, but Adobe does not make Camera-centric profiles (landscape, portrait, camera neutral, etc) for most cameras unless they are Canon DSLRs, Nikon DSLRs, one Leica and a few Pentax cameras.
On a Vista/Win7 system you can verify what models of cameras are supported by Adobe by looking for profiles in:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
The lens profiles are in:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles
There are comparable directories on Win XP.

Lens Profile Support LR5

Lens profiles not showing up in LR 5.
Working on a Mac 10.7.5, Photoshop CS6, and Camera Raw 8.3 installed. In Lightroom 4, my Canon 6D camera was supported, all lens profiles appearing in LR, was able to choose my Tamron 28-200 mm profile for raw images. Have installed LR 5 and no profiles are coming up. The profiles all appear in: Mac/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Camera Raw/Lens Profiles, on my system, but I cannot seem to get them to appear in LR 5 so I can choose my lens for "Enable Lens Correction" option.
Have opened a raw file in PH 6, Lens correction, my correct lens is appearing, but says it cannot be found online.
Any ideas or suggestions, thanks

Do you have the latest camera raw installed for Photoshop? If so, you can find the profiles in /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Nikon/ . Lightroom should recognize them if you move them into your home directory's Library folder in the exact same folder structure (but in the Library folder in your home directory). This is assuming you are using Mac OS X. No clue where these files would be on Windows. If you don't have Photoshop, you can install Camera Raw using the combined installer with DNG converter which is a free download from Adobe. This should (I think) give you the profiles in that exact location without owning Photoshop.

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,
Mike

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 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...

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.

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.

I am also having problems trying to install Lens Profile Downloader 1.0.1. I receive the following error message:
This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance.
I updated to the latest version of Adobe Air, I uninstalled the previous (1.0) version of Lens Profile Downloader (dragged it to the trash and emptied the trash), and I rebooted my Mac. I have tried downloading the file and rebooting my Mac several times and get the same error message every time. Any other suggestions?

Adobe Lens Profile Creator Crashes with DNG files

Hi, I'm using Win 7 with the latest version of the Adobe Lens Profile Creator, v 1.0.4.

Really appreciate any help to solve this issue, so I can continue to create raw lens profiles. Thanks!

German Jack ha scritto:
create an jpg/tif – profile
create a copy from the lcp
rename this copy with “ – RAW”
open this lcp with an editor
search any “False” and rename it to “True”
save it and you have a perfect raw - lensprofile
Ok, but what does it mean rename and correct the content of the lcp file?
It remains a profile created from jpg source, CameraRaw could consider it like a raw lens profile but it has no more value than a jpg profile, I believe...
Anyway, for whatelse it could be useful your suggestion to modify lcp file?
Thank you for your attention

Lens profile corrections unresponsive

I need a hand in troubleshooting the following:
The last time I accessed my catalog I was able to use the automatic lens profile corrections feature of Lightroom. Now, I am unable, and get the error message stating that Lightroom is unable to locate a matching profile automatically.
I'm using supported equipment (Nikon 24-70 / 70-200) and the lens shows up in the EXIF data as viewed in Lightroom.
At first I thought this was a result of first using Photomechanic to caption my images but when I attemped to import into lightroom directly from the card, the same thing happend.
Any ideas?

Profiles are not presets, they are stored somewhere in a shared system directory. Camera Raw shares the same location for profiles, that's why uninstalling CS5 removed the profiles.
Reinstall Lightroom.

LR3 final (not beta) can't find new lens profiles

Hi all.   Just downloaded and installed the production release of LR3 and was disappointed to find the lens profiles I had created and saved to the standard location (...\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\) were not available in the lens correction panel within Lightroom. I presume this is because lightroom is looking for them in a different directory, but it's a mystery to me where that is. Please help.

There are two types of lens profiles, one created with the camera raw images (called the raw lens profiles) and the other created JPEG (called non-raw lens profiles). LR/ACR will only load raw lens profiles. Ideally, you want to use raw profiles in the LR/ACR workflow. In you are in a hurry and you only have a JPEG profile, check out this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/2856442#2856442 on how to turn a JPEG lens profile into a raw one.
Essentially, you open up the lcp lens profile in a text editor, and and replaced every occurence of
                  <stCamera:CameraRawProfile>False</stCamera:CameraRawProfile>
with
                  <stCamera:CameraRawProfile>True</stCamera:CameraRawProfile>
and resave the file. Then LR/CR will be able to recognize the new profile.

Lens profile downloader issue with download target dirs (Win7)

Hi,
I installed LPD on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and did some downloads.
Now I find that this does not work very nicely.
a) All downloads end up in adirectory "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Downloaded".
This is not really where Lightroom is able to find them. The Software is looking in "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\[Maker]"
b) While the preinstalled profiles have nice speaking names, the downloads for no obviuos reasons get a cryptic name. such as "92713070afd245e19b229e409f089b38.lcp", which makes moving the files to the right place not a fun job, since its not obvious what the content is.
Anyone with similar or other experience under Win 7?
I think the first issue is due to LPD trying to save profiles to the right place but not having the rights to do so. The "Roaming" dirs in Windows usually are meant for this I think.
Any ideas how to solve it?

Lens Profiles under the ...Roaming are findable by LR/ACR and this is the normal place, so a profile ending up there is by design not because of some system error. It is a distinct location to keep them separate from the vendor-supplied profiles.
The gibberish for the name is to keep files from different sources but with the same name from overwriting each other. The file is XML so you can certainly look inside the file to see what it is for and rename it to something you like better.
Do your downloaded profiles not work as you're expecting or are you just seeing things you wonder about and suggesting there could be a problem?

Hi, I have Lightroom 4, but it does not support the new 10-30 pd lens for my Nikon 1. It is supported in LR5. Can I download this lens profile and install in LR4?

Sony rx100m3 should be recognized by LR 5.5 but it is not. I cannot get the lens profile

I got the new rx100m3 by sony. But I cannot get any lens profile, there is only the lens of the rx100/m2.
But in the list of supported cameras it is.
May there be a difference between the us- and german version? The supported cameras differ.

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.
