Does Camera Raw apply tangential corrections computed by Adobe Lens Profile Creator?

Dear Adobe,
I have noticed that even if ALPC calculates tangential distortion parameters, camera raw does not apply any tangential correction to the images. This can be easily proved by manually changing the values of the two tangential distortion parameters in the *.lcp file. Nothing changes to the images even exagerating the values. Varying the other parameters such as radial distortion parameters and principal point location (image center) results in evident changes in the images. I am interested in using camera raw to correct the images from ditortions for scientific purposes. It would be very helpful for me if you could help me.
Thank you in advance,
Fabio

PSE does not have the user-interface to turn on lens-corrections, nor does the ACR 6.1 update for PSE contain the lens-profile database installer, so if PSE is the only member of the PS-family that you have installed then effectively you cannot apply lens profiles.
If a computer has the lens-profile database installed and lens-distortion-correction has been enabled in the XMP sidecar for a particular image, both requiring PS-CS5's ACR 6.1-updater or LR3 to be installed and one of those used to enable lens-corrections for the image, then PSE can use ACR 6.1 to apply a lens profile, because the version of the ACR 6.1 plug-in for PS and PSE is the same plug-in.
BTW, removing fish-eye distortion completely, which is what enabling lens-corrections does by default, will leave a rather poor looking image that has been completely rectilinearized but has severe stretching of the pixels at the edges, so only the center is useable.  With my 8mm Sigma fisheye, I reduce the Distortion part of the correction down to 44 so the black corners are gone, but there is still some bulging of the image.
If you want to experiment with lens-corrections, you could install the 30-day trial of LR3.

  • How cn I install camera raw on to my computer.  I have CS5 but no separate camera raw application ? Thank you

    How can I install camera raw on to my computer.  I have CS5 but no separate camera raw application ? Thank you

    Camera Raw is not a separate application that can be identified and used separately from Photosho. It is a plug-in that is accessed from Photoshop or Bridge or Photoshop Elements. When you attempt to open a raw image the plug-in is activated if it is able to recognize the files created by the camera you used. However, support must be provided for every individual camera model. Updates must be provided with this new support. The latest version of Camera Raw that can be used with Photoshop CS5 is Camera Raw 6.7. You can find out what version of Camera Raw is installed by going to the help menu in Photoshop and then clicking on plug-ins->Camera Raw. If the version that is reported is older than 6.7 then you can click on help->updates and obtain an installation of the last version of Camera Raw you can use. If your camera is newer than what was supported in Camera Raw 6.7 then you will have to use the DNG converter or purchase Photoshop CS6, or subscribe to the creative cloud photography plan ($9.99/month).

  • When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size?

    When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size from canon 5d mark iii, in older versions I used to be able to import the files as larger images. It use to have a number of options for the images size. The option now is smaller than the maximum size used to be.

    You know what - I'm sorry
    I'd had a crazy long all-nighter session sorting out images for a client, then decided - when I should have simply gone to bed - to set up the new photoshop. At the very start I made a silly mistake, tried to sort it out then decided to call it a day, responding to your remarks with the problem still in my head but feeling more and more tired.
    Responded again to your comment earlier with the problem still in my head but not in front of me on the screen - however with a fresh head I just turned it all on, opened up PS and today could instantly see what was going on - Oops!
    Thank you for being patient with a sleep deprived photographer who must have been getting annoying yesterday
    I am officially embarrassed

  • Does camera raw 7.0 support Canon 5d mark iii? on the list it said 6.7 and 7.1 which makes confused because 7.0 is in between.

    Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
    If you have photoshop cs6 you should use Help>Updates to get the latest camera raw.
    Camera raw 7.0 was just the shipping version of camera raw for photoshop cs6 and you should update it to a newer version.
    The camera raw version on that list is just the oldest version of camera raw to support a particular camera and newer versions of camera raw carry on that support as well.

  • Does Camera Raw support Canon G9?

    Appreciate any help with this problem: My new Canon G9 raw files (.CR2's) are not recognized by Bridge 4.1.
    Windows XP, SP2
    Just installed CS3 Master Collection including:
    Bridge 2.1.0.100
    Camera Raw 4.1
    Bridge wont show Raw thumbs -- only "CR2" icons.
    Have downloaded and replaced Camera Raw 4.1 Plug-In (with "Camera Raw.8bi) into correct folder several times:
    Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats" per Adobe instructions
    Reopened Bridge and it still wont show images -- only "CR2" icons. Note that .JPG's are opened in Camera Raw.
    Went to tools and Purged the Cache - no change
    When I double click on the preview, Photoshop opens with a message:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    I really need help on this one.
    Thanks and Cheers,
    Neal

    David,
    The G9 support is unofficial, that's true.
    However ACR is not designed to emulate the results from the Canon in-camera conversion at all, and the defaults are nothing but a starting point.
    This has been covered ad nauseam here. Please do a forum search.
    Camera manufacturers, Canon and Nikon in particular, perform in-camera RAW to JPEG conversions designed to generate the over-saturated, over-contrasty and over-sharpened images that appeal to most amateurs.
    Their stand-alone RAW conversion software also performs the same conversion to your RAW images.
    Noise is also hidden by compressing the shadows so you don't see much of the noise inherent in the image.
    Adobe Camera Raw, ACR, on the other hand, comes with default settings designed to give you the most detail possible (even if this sometimes means revealing some of the noise hidden by the camera manufacturers in their RAW conversion software), as well as the most natural images.
    That being said, you can calibrate your camera to ACR and come up with your own settings to produce exactly what you want, including the JPEG-look of the camera manufacturer, and save that as your profile.
    The key is to learn how to use ACR properly and to calibrate your camera to ACR.
    CLICK HERE for some essential reading. A new edition revised by Jeff Schewe for CS3 and ACR 4.x will be out in October.
    The ACR defaults are nothing more than a suggested starting point.
    The color temperature won't necessarily match either.

  • Does camera raw support the Nikon D5300, if not when there will be an update for this camera model?

    Does camera raw support the Nikon D5300, if not when there will be an update for this camera model?

    The asterisk next the model number on the download page linked above means there is preliminary support, which usually means the camera is supported by pretending it is an earlier model with similar sensor.  This can lead to color issues, so while you can convert your NEFs to DNGs with the DNG Converter, and open them with PSE12, now, save your NEFs and be prepared to revisit those pictures once the final release of ACR 8.3 occurs probably in the next few weeks, with finalized support.

  • Camera Raw - apply auto tone adjustments ...

    In camera raw, "apply auto tone adjustments" option in the preferences dialog is not same with the "auto" button on the basic panel, isn't it?
    Both of them control the same sliders, are there any relationship between them?

    Maybe, there is a bug for Windows 7 64-bit ... when the "apply auto tone adjustments" option is active on the preferences dialog, the auto button on the basic panel is also active and I'm always getting slightly different results by pressing it.

  • Does Camera Raw come with CC or another program?

    Does Camera Raw come with CC or another program? I don't see it in the options.

    Camera Raw is not a program, it is a plug-in/ extension for Photoshop, Bridge and other programs that latch onto this like when importing Raw files in video apps.

  • Does the Lens Profile Creator work with Photoshop Elements 8.0..?

    Hello,
    I am very new to the world of Photoshop, so please forgive if this is an obvious/stupid question...
    I am using Photoshop Elements 8.0 and I have a couple of pictures that I need to remove the 'fish eye' lens distortion from around the edges...
    The blurb for the Lens Profile Creator says that it is for use in the "Adobe Photoshop® family of products"...
    Does this include Photoshop Elements 8.0 or do they really mean it is just for Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw and Photoshop Lightroom...
    Any help will be appreciated...
    Many Thanks

  • Sony: Lens Profile Creator knows the subject distance, ACR does not

    When making a lens profile for a Sony alpha DSLR, lens profile creator identifies the focus distance, and processes each distance accordingly. However, when loaded in ACR (or PS lens correction filter), the software does not display the distance. Why can LPC read the subject distance and ACR cannot?

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    el_floz wrote:
    The Creator, however, determines / calculates the subject distance itself.
    Is this a complicated way of saying "God only knows"? 
    In all seriousness, if one program can calculate a piece of info from a file, so could another.  The designers may just not have chosen to dig so deeply into the manufacturer-specific data as to do so.  Or, as appears to be the case here, the information is derived from known subject material in the image itself.

  • How do I copy Camera RAW defaults to another computer?

    I use Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Camera RAW to process RAW files (D700).  I have ACR preferences set to make the defaults ASA specific, which means I have 41 defaults for ACR.  I have a folder of images shot with the D700 that includes one image for each ASA the camera can select when auto ASA is activated in the D700, that's where I get 41 ASA values.  I use the images in this folder to set a default for each ASA value and then select one at a time in Camera RAW and click to set a new default for ACR (Adobe Camera RAW).  These defaults are saved in some location on the computer, but I don't know where.  I would like to copy these saved defaults to another computer that is also running Photoshop CS6.  Does anyone know where the defaults are located, or is there a better way to accomplish this task?

    If I understand what you said, I think this will only save RAW Defaults for that specific image conditions.  I have the RAW converter set to make it specific to image ASA and for the D700 it can set 41 different ASA values for the image.  I have 41 Camera RAW Defaults for the D700 and would like to transfer all to the second computer, that's the reason I am looking for options to accomplish this task. 
    I have a folder with 41 D700 NEF files with each having a different ASA value.  I select this folder of images in Camera RAW, adjust each image to the defaults I want - the main difference is noise settings.  When I have the settings I want, I click the Done button.  I then open the images again in Camera RAW, select one at a time and select the "Save New Camera Raw Defaults".  Now when I open new NEF files for the D700 it will automatically apply the Default I want based on the image ASA. 
    I currently copy the folder with the 41 images that was saved with the defaults I want and open them one at a time and save a new default on the second computer.  If I copy the "Camera RAW" folder it should give me all the same defaults, custom camera profiles, custom curver, settings, etc. 
    I have not tried this yet, but if it works it will save a lot of time keeping the two computers in sync relative to these parameters.   

  • Does Camera Raw 5.6 Update work for PSE 6?

    I have a PSE6, and have bought a Canon Powershot G11.
    Camera Raw update 5.6 includes the Canon G11, but the update documentation seems to suggest it can't be applied to PSE 6 on Windows:
    Camera Raw 5.6 update page:
    "The Camera Raw 5.6 plug-in is not compatible with versions of Photoshop earlier than Photoshop CS4, versions of Photoshop Elements earlier than Photoshop Elements 6.0."
    But the ReadMe file says:
    "The Camera Raw 5.6 plug-in is not compatible with versions of Photoshop earlier than Photoshop CS4or versions of Photoshop Elements earlier than Photoshop Elements 7.0 for Windows and Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac."
    Am I right in thinking that my one-year-old copy of PSE6 (Windows version) is no longer functional with a new camera?  Or am I mistaken?
    Advice appreciated -

    Some of the Adobe download links are wrong and often take you to an earlier version of Adobe Camera Raw. The latest version is ACR 5.6 which brings support for the newest camera models such as the
    Canon EOS 7D, PowerShot S90 & G11, Nikon D3S and others.
    So don’t worry it will work. First you will need to exit Photoshop Elements.
    To get the plug-in for PSE6 go to the link below - instructions are for Windows users. They will differ for Mac users.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4626&fileID=4303
    Download the plug-in for Elements 8
    Open the zip folder you just downloaded and click Extract Files.
    You should see a 64 bit folder and a plug-in file below it. The plug in has a file name: Camera Raw.8bi
    Now drag the plug-in file (or copy it) into the File Formats folder in the following location:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats.  See Gotcha
    If running windows Vista you will probably get a pop-up requesting Administrator permission. Assuming you are the Administrator for your computer, simply agree.
    I can confirm it does work as I have recently updated my plug-in for PSE6 using the above method. To test it, go to one of your photo folders, right click on a raw file (NEF, CR2, DNG etc) and select open with Photoshop Elements. The image should automatically open in ACR 5.6 giving you access to the latest slider adjustments, including white balance and exposure.
    Note: If you have an earlier Camera Raw plug-in, I suggest you move it from the File Formats folder to My Documents before you begin. This will prevent it being overwritten by the new Camera Raw file (it will have the same name) and you can always move it back again if the download installation fails.
    If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows, then move the plug-in file from the unzipped download folder by navigating to:C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats.
