Fuji X10: Lens correction not controllable

Hello everyone.
While I like how LR corrects lens distortion of my Fujifilm X10 automatically I do not like that it leaves me with no control whatsoever over the process. Compared to out-of-camera JPGs the LR corrections are more correct (no horizontal compression), but also cut away more information from the borders.
So without any control over the strength of the lens correction or at least a way to switch it off there always is information lost!
Here is a comparison of different lens corrections of the various raw converters vs. ooc jpg. As you can see by the uncorrected Capture One example there is more (distorted) information available than LR is willing to show.
http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/3262748529/albums/x10-lens-correction

"High Resolution" DR (ISO equal or higher than DR) in M size should be usable. L size is usable, too, but the detail is lacking (more than 6 mp, but less than 12 mp ooc JPGs). EXR DR RAW files are a special case. It's not easy to even create them with the camera, because you have to use RAW + JPG and ISO below DR and then shoot a situation where ISO below 400 is enough (broad daylight).
And these files are usable, but colors are somewhat off in LR, which can at least partly be managed via HSL. It's not perfect, because highlights of the longer exposed sensor half are handled wrong (from my point of view), but I send some example images now. We need to give Chan some time, because I only sent the files a few days ago.
One thing that doesn't work well between LR is EXR kind of noise and LR's sharpening. Some people called that "reticulation pattern" on the DPreview forum. What happens is that LR's sharpening tends to sharpen noise more distinct than anything else, so you need to keep that "Detail" slider down and overally watch sharpening. Also LR's luminance noise-reduction tends to remove more detail than the in-camera one and the color noise slider has to be used with caution in order to keep saturation (default value is too high).
It's all workable, but not exactly in love with each other.

Lens Correction not happening in RAW with PSE 10

My Camera is in the list a FinePix HS10, I have done all the updates that are available.
I tried doing searches but nothing came up that I could find a solution to this.
When I shoot a raw+jpg of an item with straight lines (edges of a painting) the JPG version has the lens distortion corrected, however the raw does not and shows curves where there should be straight lines. When I go to Camera Calibration screen it shows Process 2010 (current) and Camera profile shows Adobe Standard. There are no additional Camera Profiles listed.
I am at a loss as to what to do to resolve this and have the RAW compensate for the lens distortion and end up like the JPG file. Is my camera supposed to show up in Camera Profiles? This would be horrible if not being able to be corrected so I must be doing something wrong or missed a step.

Elements using the Camera Raw plug-in doesn’t allow for lens-corrections. Since you’ve posted your question in the Elements forum, is that what you’re using? The much more expensive regular Photoshop hosting the camera-raw plug-in and the less-expensive Lightroom do allow selecting lens profile corrections.
The Camera Calibration area you refer to only deals with raw camera profiles for color rendition, not lens profiles that would correct geometric distortion.
A more fundamental question is whether there are actually lens-distortion-correction profiles for a FinePix HS10. Usually Adobe supplies lens profiles for most Canon and Nikon DSLRs although there are a few others for other brands and types of camera, with a Fuji point-and-shoot having less chance of having a lens-profile created by Adobe.
There is an Adobe Lens Profile Downloader tool for getting third-party lens-profiles and checking it just now, it appears there is a raw profile for the FinePix HS10/HS11 built-in lens, but you still need to be using an Adobe product other than Elements to apply such a profile.

LR3 Lens corrections not transferred to external editor

When I use the new Lens Correction panel in LR3, then transfer the image to PS (CS4) for further editing using the Edit In command, the Lens Corrections are not transferred, although everything else is.
Details:
The original image is a .dng file.
It is transferred to PS as a 16bit TIFF.
If I EXPORT the image as a 16bit TIFF file, the file image DOES contain the Lens Corrections - it is only when I use the 'Edit In Adobe CS4' command that the problem occurs.
I currently have v5.7 of Camera Raw installed in PS, which doesn't support the Lens Corrections - I don't use it, and so haven't bothered to download the latest version, but surely LR is doing all the processing itself, and won't be using the PS version of Camera Raw?
Any thoughts from anyone?
Cheers
Steve

I understand where you're coming from Steve, but it's always been the same. They don't make the ACR plug-in backwards compatible for older PS versions, as the continued development is one of the things upgraders are paying for. If they spend resources on backwards compatibility, it's not really fair on those who are paying for the upgrades, and could limit the improvements in the new releases.
LR3 works great on its own, and will render a file itself with all of the settings applied, but that does mean you have a file on your hard drive. If you want direct PS integration, it's the PS license fee that pays for that. That said, they did update and bring out 5.7, which they wouldn't usually have done, so if you're not using the lens corrections, opening directly into CS4 will be an almost perfect match, apart from some minor minor tweaks.

Lens Corrections not automatically populating information

In "lens corrections" when I enable profile corrections it does not automatically populate the make, model and profile from the metadata and I need to select the lens make manually before it will select model and profile and apply any changes. How do I fix this?

After selecting your lens and model information in the Profile Panel, change the Setup pulldown (immediately below the Check Box line) to say Save New Lens Profile Defaults. From now on, that lens should populate correctly. You may have to do it again for other lenses/cameras.

Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM, Nikon mount lens correction =- not supported?

Are you trying a JPEG instead of a Raw file when looking?

Adobe Camera Raw - lens correction profiles not found

I use Photoshop CC as part of the photography program of Creative Cloud. My platform is a Mac Book Pro (2013) with the latest Mac OS-X operating system. I have also installed Bridge CC and Lightroom 5.
Since about three weeks (maybe after an update but I'm not sure on that) Adobe Camera Raw's lens correction feature fails permanently. With older pictures (taken long before the error occured for the first time) as well as with new photos and with dng files as well as with cr2 files the ACR dialog always shows the error message (lens correction profile can't be found - since I have the German version of Photoshop this is how I would translate the error message). I didn't install or uninstall any programs, plugins etc. around the time of the first occurance of the error.
I already uninstalled Photoshop CC completely (using the uninstall function in the programs folder) and reinstalled it via Creative Cloud but it still shows the same error.
What can I do?

Hello, you can make sure the latest version is installed by going to help-updates.
Also, make sure that you are running the latest version of the creative cloud application, as it fixes a permission problem that might cause the issue you are facing. Just go to the creative cloud application on your menu bar, and restart it.

Lens (Tamron 18-270) not available in Lens correction menu

Hi all,
I only see some lenses to pick from in the lens correction menu. According to a list on the Adobe website, my lens (Tamron 18-270) should be included, but it is not.
I am using Lightroom 5 on a Win PC and a Sony Alpha 58 camera. Photos made as RAW.
Any idea where I can find or activate the lens?
Could it be, that the Sony camera does not write the lens information in the EXIF file so that Lightroom doesn`t know which lens I used? But if so, why can I pick several from different companies (Canon, ...) but not the one from Tamron?
Best regards,
Mick

There are 5 18-270 Tamron lenses listed if you set the Make to Tamron and scroll up in the list to the top using the arrow at the top left of the list.
There is only one Tamron lens listed, not an 18-270, if you have a non-raw file selected.
Here is what I see at the top of the Tamron list and I just chose one of the 5 arbitrarily. I have no idea which of them is right, if any, for your Sony:

Lightroom 5.2 is not identifying my sigma 35 mm 1.4 for lens correction anymore.

Lightroom 5.2 is not identifying my sigma 35 mm 1.4 for lens correction anymore. It was working fine last week. Any ideas what's happening?

Indeed the pictures I'm looking at now are Jpeg. My other canon lenses are picked up for profile correction though but the sigma 35 isn't. Thanks a lot! I thought something was wrong somewhere but it all makes sense now.

Lens correction in Lightroom not sending to photoshop when making a panorama

I cannot seem to find anyone else on the forums with this problem....
I have set the lens correction in Lightroom which does a beautiful job of removing vingetting and lens distortions.
However, when I go to "edit in" "Merge as panorama in photoshop", it does not carry forward the lens corection. The vingetting and all is visible which creates a horrible photoshop panorama.
I do not want to use photoshop's correction, I want to preserve the lightroom lens correction.
Am I missing something?
Any ideas?

Thanks! All of my shots for this current interior shoot are panoramic. At a halt until I can resolve this.

DNG Conversion Of Sony ARW Not Carrying Over In Camera Lens Corrections

One of the great features of the Sony NEX-7 is that the NEX-7 makes automatic lens corrections for vignetting, chromatic aberration and distortion problems. These corrections are written to the file and the preview. However, when converting these images from ARW to DNG the correction data seems to be lost, and the images revert to their uncorrected state. This requires all images to then be re corrected with the Adobe lens profiles, which is both tedious, an extra step, and also seems to produce results that are somewhat less optimal than the original corrections made by the camera.
Should not the ACR Converter and Lightroom retain the lens corrections made by the camera?

A Tonal wrote:
This is one of those confusing issues where the way Sony describes the feature makes it sound as though it's part of the ARW format, and the way Adobe describe ACR and DNG makes it sound like this would be one of those manufacturer specific details that DNG is supposed to convert into a the Adobe format.
Yes, that might be so. It's similar with the manual of my Nikon D600. Nowhere does it say explicitly that all these adjustments (including lens correction, Active D-Lighting, etc) work only for the JPGs. And it cannot be otherwise.
A Raw image is not defined yet, not written in pixels yet, heck it is not even an image.
The Raw image is only affected by the exposure, that's pretty much the only thing. Even White Balance is nothing but a metadata tag that - luckily - is read by Lr.
A DNG is Adobe's answer to the various Raw formats. But it is designed to behave like a Raw image. Therefore you cannot expect that camera settings that affect JPGs only carry over to DNGs.
A Tonal wrote:
There are so many features on cameras that are only supported with JPG output that it almost makes it not wroth bothering with RAW, as by the time you get to the end of the process, with all the extra steps and work involved in handling RAW, you pretty much wind up with something that looks like a JPG anyway, and you had to give up using some of the camera's features to use RAW.
This shows that you don't understand what Raw is and what its advantages over JPG are.
I would recommend that you educate yourself about the advantages of Raw. Your photography would benefit from this, believe me.
Google "Why should I shot Raw?" and you will find lots of good webpages.
Finally, Raw shooting is much simpler than shooting JPGs where you always have to fiddle with the virtual 100s of different settings for JPGs.
What do you have Lr for? In Lr you can adjust your Raw image by looking at it on a large calibrated monitor, whereas for the settings in your camera you have to rely on a 3" monitor - at best.
Make your life simpler and your photography better: Shoot Raw.

Automatic Lens Correction in the Camera Raw Correction Panel not showing

I have just migrated my CS5 to another computer. However to my surprise II could not see automatic Lens Correction option in my Lens Correction Panel of Camera Raw as in then past. All i got was option for Chromatic Aberration etc.
How do I get the software to switch to Automatic Lens Correction in the Camera Raw Correction Panel?
Thanks.

I hope it's just as simple as this: Did you click on the little Profile tab?

Nikor 28 to 105 not listed in lens correction Light Room 5 cc

I watched a tutorial in Utube. Author said he had never tried to use a lens correction and found the lens not in the list.
My first try, and I can not find Nikon Nikor 28 to 105 MM 1:3:5 4.5 D.

That is not a practically empty xinitrc - that file only needs one line: exec WM. Other things are entirely optional, and some of them very useful, but I'd encourage you to stick with the simplest xinitrc that will do what you require.
Is slim involved? Probably. That is the source of many problems. But to start narrowing this down, I have 3 suggestions:
1) temporarily (at least) change your inittab to default to runlevel 3 ... actually, is it currently set to 5 or 3? if it is currently 3 that would explain why slim doesn't start.
2) at a tty in runlevel 3 use "xinit" instead of "startx". Startx is fine most of the time, but it is essentially just a complex wrapper for xinit. That complexity can often iadd useful functionality, but it *always* makes troubleshooting more difficult. So for now just use a vanilla 'xinit'.
3) remove dbus-launch from your exec line in xinitrc. This is done by console-kit so it is redundant and potentially problematic. Further BOTH of these are taken care of by slim, so I'd even suggest getting both a jump start on being ready for slim and simplifying troubleshooting by removing both of them. Just make that line "exec openbox-session"
Edit: adding one more:
4) temporarily switch out openbox-session for openbox. I suspect the reason feh's setting of the background is getting overridden is due to a script or setting in openbox's autostart settings - many of these are only invoked when "openbox-session" is called, while "openbox" starts *just* the window manager itself.

Supported lens corrections profile not listed in Lightroom 3.2

I have installed the Lightroom 3.2 update, which lists support for the "Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II" lens. I've shot a number of photos with this lens (using a Canon T1i) and loaded them into Lightroom. In the metadata for the photos, the lens appears as "EF50mm f/1.8 II".
Within Lightroom's "Lens Corrections" section, the "Auto" option reports "Unable to locate a matching profile automatically." I've manually searched the list of Canon lenses, and it's not on the list.
In the folder
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Canon/
I see a file corresponding to this lens
Canon EOS 5D Mark II (Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II) - RAW.lcp
but it's listed with only the one specific body.
I've tried manually installing the Camera Raw 6.2 update, but it reports "Update is not applicable." Given the file listed above, I suspect it was already installed.
In the release notes, which listed Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens, it didn't mention that support was limited to only a certain camera body. Could someone please help me? Thanks!

My assumption that I should be able to find the lens within Lightroom came from the release notes at

rather than the filename of the profile that I found. As far as I can see, the release notes don't specify that it only applies to raw images.
I agree that the release notes could have been a clearer in terms of what was provided. I can also appreciate why the profiles for JPEG were not included, namely time constraints.
After converting the original raw images to JPEG it would have taken an hour or so to run the calibration images for these "new" profiles through the lens profile creator application. Following a number of requests I did this myself for the dozen or so profiles that I had already uploaded to the Adobe lens profile server. That was a days work for me, for the Adobe engineer(s) working on all of the new profiles it would probably have taken a fair number of days/weeks.

Enable Profile (ACR) and Filter Lens Corrections does not recognize Lens

I did several searches and couldn't find this so it may be a new question. I'm running into it in both CS5 (Camera Raw and Filter > Lens Corrections) and Lightroom 3.3 (Develop- Enable Profile). I'm asking here since I figure if I can fix CS5, I'll know what to do in Lightroom.
I have a Canon 1D MK IV. ACR recognizes the camera and processes the raw file. I check updates and everything is current. With Enable Profile checked, some lenses like my 24-105 L are recognized but my 17-35 L seems to be a complete mystery to it. I'm assuming that this is due to a missing profile.
Am I correct in thinking that the process is, download, install and run the Adobe Profile downloader. If I do not find any hits for my lens, I am then in the spot of having to use the profile creator to build one (or go without).?
Are there any other sources for camera / lens profiles that can be imported into the enable profile process?
Once you have a new profile where do you store it? under Users> Owner > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Lens Correction ?
Thanks
Rick

Just to make sure: Have specifically checked to ensure you have the latest Camera Raw update (6.3)? I know you said you checked updates, but it never hurts to do a Help - About Plug-in... in Photoshop and double check.

Lens Correction filter not working?

I upgraded to CS5 specifically to use the auto lens correction feature (primarily for barrel and pincushion distortion on my Canon zoom lenses). Now I find that:
Even though the camera back (5D Mark II) and lens information is included with an image, the lens correction filter requires me to manually select the back and lens.
Several of my lenses are not even included in the data base, even though they're very popular lenses (e.g., EF16-35mm 2.8 L USM II and EF 70-300mm DO IS USM). I realize the data base is to be enlarged, but these seem like inexplicable omissions. (And I have no desire or time to create my own profiles.)
The PDF instruction manual for CS5 offers no help, and I don't see this issue addressed in the forums. I'm hoping someone will be able to advise me on how to make this function work.

Jeff,
   Thanks for the quick answer, but I still think the menu is misleading.
   If the body choices were in the format of "full frame, 1.3 crop, 1.6
crop, etc.", it would be clear that the specific model didn't matter.
However, this would create its own problems since many people wouldn't
understand the concept of the crop factor for their camera.
   The fact that the 5D Mark II exists in the pull-down menu as a discrete
choice in addition to the 1Ds Mark III implies that there is a difference
between the two. Even if there is no functional difference in this context,
it would avoid confusion if the actual body from the EXIF information could
always be the default selection.
   Thanks.
