Functionality of default, Auto & custom choices in Lens correction panel?

Can anyone explain how to use the choices in the lens correction panel when you choose profile then enable lens corrections?  The three choices are default, auto & custom.  It seems that if you choose auto it should be doing something but I can't see anything different.  I have created 5 lens profile for my Pasnasonic DMC-FZ-50 at 5 different focal lengths and these show up in the panel and are functional.  I have looked in the help section and can't find out what these choices mean or how to use them. thanks

Auto will pick the lens based on the lens ID saved into the file when you took the shot, not the focal length, aperture, etc. If it cannot find a lens that matches that lens ID it won't pick anything, even if you have manually saved a lens as the default. As I wrote earlier, you can make any lens the default, but Auto will only use a perfect match for the lens.

  • Lens Corrections panel missing

    My copy of LR 5.3  appears to not have the Lens Correction panel.  At least I can not find it anywhere.  There are 7 panels showing --
    1.Basic
    2.Tone Curve
    3.HSL
    4.Split toning
    5.Detail
    6.Effects
    7.Camera Calibration
    Lens Correction does not appear under any of the above panels.  How do I find it?

    Right click on one of the other headers and a dialog box will pop up and you can select the Lens correction panel. It probably got deselected by accident.

  • Auto scale/crop with lens correction tool in Camera Raw 8.4

    Does anyone know if this type of functionality exists in Camera Raw 8.4 similar to the Auto scale function in the lens correction filter? I understand the straighten tool offers this effect but I'm looking for in auto crop or autoscale feature when using the lens correction tool. Thanks in advance!

    Good day!
    I notice no difference to prior to 8.4.
    But maybe the ACR Forum may be a better place for questions realted to ACR.

  • I use a Canon MPE-65 almost exclusively and can't find a profile for this lens in the LR 5 lens correction panel.

    Is Adobe planning to add this lens profile? Or is there a workaround?

    I don’t think Adobe can make lens profiles for this specialized macro lens.
    Lens profiles correct for geometric distortions and vignetting, and both of these change based on subject distance, aperture, focal length and for this lens, the 1x-5x zoom setting.
    Lens profile files consist of a series of corrections for various combination of the above.
    For a lens profile to be created the lens has to communicate the subject distance, focal-length, aperture and zoom level to the camera and the camera has to record these in the EXIF data so that Adobe products can read it these parameters and look up the matching correction.
    I don’t have this lens, but I am reading that it is a manual lens which can mean that there is no communication of lens settings back to the camera.  Is this true, at least for some of the settings?  If so, then Adobe cannot match a lens profile with the lens settings and a lens profile would be useless.
    If you always shoot your macros with a few combinations of your settings there’s a possibility you could make your own lens profiles and match them up, yourself, based on notes you take at each session.
    The Adobe Lens Profile Creator, that is available as a download from Adobe, uses checkerboard patterns.  It would be necessary to create very small ones for this lens, if 5x really makes a grain of rice full-frame.
    You can read more about it, here, and try to create your own:

  • Auto Lens Correction?

    Is it really necessary to perform lens correction manually on every image in Lightroom4? I have checked the enable box and also included lens correction in my set up file. It seems to me that when photos are downloaded or even after they are downloaded the lens correction should be automatic across the board, especially since I primarily use only three Canon L lenses for 80% of my shooting. Yet, no matter whatI do, I cannot get the correct lens recognition and adjustment automatically and am forced to do each photo one at a time which is seriously time consuming. Suggestions and solutions would be very much appreciated. And, yes, I have read Adobe set up instructions, etc. but there does not seem to be any description of how to accomplish this. I am using DNG files.

    No, it is not necessary to do this individually.  You can do it automatically in two ways. 
    One is to use a custom camera default.  You turn on "Enable Profile Corrections" for 1 image, then choose Set Default Settings... from the Develop menu.  Then all future images will have the Enable Profile Corrections box enabled by default (and hence profile-based lens corrections).  This is what I do.
    A second way is to use a Develop preset (in which the Enable Profile Corrections box is enabled), and choose that when you Import (in the Import dialog).

  • Lens Correction and JPEGs

    Hi,
    I'm new to LR. I've spent the last two months watching every tutorial, practicing with a portfolio/video instructional off the Adode site and reorganizing my own photos and folders on my computer.
    I finally took the "bold" step to put a few of my photos into LR. All my photos are from either a Nikon 3000 or 3100 with the same lens AF-S DX Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED.
    Also, all my photos are JPEGs.
    1) In Lens Correction > Profile > Enable Profile Correction there are 3 options
    Default (no make/model options)
    Auto (no make/model options)
    Custom > when I click this I get the model and Adobe profile for the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
    Is the Adobe profile the same for both lenses? The 14-24 and the lens on my camera - the 18-135?
    Default and Auto look the exact same. If I click Custom, the image becomes a little more exposed. To my eye, Default/Auto look better.
    2) Also, should I "check" chromatic aberration for all my photos? I'm not sure how this feature works in LR with JPEGs.
    3) Considering where I am and my skills at this point, what is the best recommendation going forward, for learning LR and working with my JPEGs.
    Since I'm going to be essentially working only with JPEGS for a while, what lens correction should I use with these photos? Default/Auto/Custom?
    4) Are there any other settings that I need to pay attention to with the camera/lens/file type that I am using while trying to learn LR?
    I'm starting to realize from my readings, that JPEGS will have a more limited range of development in LR and "LR will display only the profiles available for the file type of the selected image."  Lens profile support | Lightroom 5, 4, 3 | Photoshop CS6, CS5 | Camera Raw 8, 7, 6
    I want to become a more serious amateur and enthusiastic photographer, but I also don't want to spend 15 minutes editing/developing every semi-decent photo I take.
    As an aside, my 3100 has a shutter problem, so I will be upgrading at some point (probably Micro 4/3) and I plan to explore shooting RAW or a combination of RAW/JPEG somewhere down the road.
    Thanks
    Andrew

    As I understand lens correction profiles, most are written for RAW photos only, and there are only a few profiles written for JPGs. That would explain why you don't see your specific lens under Custom.
    2) Also, should I "check" chromatic aberration for all my photos? I'm not sure how this feature works in LR with JPEGs.
    I'm certainly not the biggest expert on chromatic aberration, but it seems to me that the chromatic aberration algorithms are looking for certain types of coloration at "edges", and I don't see why that would be different for JPGs compared to RAWs.
    But I'm confused by the actual question ... checking the box and seeing if it makes the photo better seems so simple that I don't really understand why you had to ask the question.
    3) Considering where I am and my skills at this point, what is the best recommendation going forward, for learning LR and working with my JPEGs.
    Since I'm going to be essentially working only with JPEGS for a while, what lens correction should I use with these photos? Default/Auto/Custom?
    Again, the learning process in Lightroom is ... just do it. You can't harm your photos, you can always undo whatever you did that you didn't like. The lens correction you choose is the one that makes the photo's appearance look best to you.
    4) Are there any other settings that I need to pay attention to with the camera/lens/file type that I am using while trying to learn LR?
    Any setting and any slider and any tool might be the right one for your photo. There is no general setting that EVERYONE uses, as the reason software provides options is that some people want it one way, and other people want it a different way.
    I want to become a more serious amateur and enthusiastic photographer, but I also don't want to spend 15 minutes editing/developing every semi-decent photo I take.
    The learning curve can be difficult, but as I said, editing your photos will never harm your originals, and you can always undo whatever you did. So ... just do it.
    I am concerned that even as a beginner, you think it might take you 15 minutes to edit a single photo. Unless you are doing a HUMONGUS amount of brushing, this should never take 15 minutes, even for a beginner. Yes, of course if you want everything to be absolutely PERFECT, then it will take longer, but there really is no such thing as a PERFECT photo. Your goal ought to be (in my opinion) making the photos look GOOD, and learning what the sliders and tools do as you go. And certainly there is no unique determination of what a GOOD photo is, a photo that looks GOOD to you may not look good to someone else, but that's kind of irrelevant, its your photo, it should only matter that it looks GOOD to you.
    You said you watched tutorials, are these tutorials helping, or not? Do you feel you have learned the basic purpose of (some of) the develop sliders and develop tools, or not?

  • LR 4.3 lens corrections issue (bug?)

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble with LR 4.3 lens corrections panel, that I didn't have with LR 4.2.
    I'm running LR 64bit  on Windows 7 Ultimate. Camera is Pentax K5.
    This is what the lens corrections panel looks like after import in LR 4.2. I did setup the "Enable Profile Corrections" as default for my camera, so everytime I import photo's this is autmatically checked.
    Opening the same photo in the same catalog with LR 4.3 this is what I get:
    Notice "Setup" has changed to "Custom" and Lens Profile says None.
    Changing Setup to Default again, Make and Model display the correct information, but Profile says None.
    Clicking on the Profile arrows gives me the correct lens profile but...
    ... selecting that profile turns everything back off and setup is changed to Custom again.
    Now setting Setup to Default makes no difference! Lens Profile displays None but...
    ... selecting Auto gives me the right Make and Model!!
    And finally, when I leave the image with settings as here above, go the another photo and change the lens corrections, and then go back to the initial image, everything's gone again!!!
    As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious bug, unless I'm missing something obvious.
    Did anyone have this same problem?
    I've downgraded to LR 4.2 again, and everything is back to normal.
    Regards,
    Peter

    No, that's not it either. Lens Corrections appears in the right panel, between "Detail" and "Effects".
    It's just that when I click on the "make" under the Lens profile, all I get is Nikon and Sony (and not the other brands I used to see) and under model there is only one lens if I remember correctly...
    This is frustrating, and it will be more so if it turns out that I did something silly!!
    thanks

  • Tutorials on ACR 6.1 new Lens Correction features

    Hi,
    We are all experienced users of cameras/Photoshop/ACR etc., and wizards at learning by trial-and-error, but I think it might be really helpful if there was a good tutorial (preferably by Adobe), to deal with the new features of lens corrections in ACR 6.1, to take out some of the guesswork.
    There are items to be addressed, like for instance, the difference between Default-Auto-Custom in Lens Profiles page, why the lens profiles seem to depend only on lens type, while in Photoshop they depend on Camera/Lens combinations, how to prevent double correction, and many others.
    If anyone knows of such tutorials, I'll be grateful if they can share.
    Thanks,
    Moshe

    The "Chicken Little" as you call it, isn't aimed at you, unless you want to claim ownership. It isn't mine either. The sky's not falling but there are a few heavy showers about.
    I have taken the time and if you examine what I said, I am including the auto corrections in PhotoMerge as part of the whole. Particularly Photomerge at this point.
    If you have taken the time to read what I said I pointed out that Lens Correction will attempt to correct the image if you ignore the warning that no profile exists. I couldn't know that unless I tested it.
    If you took the time to read my posts earlier in the Profile Creator Forum, would would know that I actually ran tests on the Lens Profiler for the one lens in Adobe's collection I use, against the DXO output and found Adobe's correction way out of line. And to put to rest the notion I don't know what I am talking about, I have used this lens with architectural subjects and the barrel/pincushion distortion is very well corrected with DXO.
    But then you are busy I'm sure and would not necessarily know or remember all that. Strange, you do recall just enough to give you ammunition to insult.
    So bottom line for me is this:
    Lens Correct is set unchecked. I'll look from time to time as more corrections show up, and if I find them satisfactory and at least equivalent to DXO, I'll use it. Why not? It fits the workflow so much better. And I'll come back and share my findings. So Lens Correction in ACR won't affect me.
    Photomerge using Geometric Correction in Auto is a non-starter. I really like it better for some stitches than Reposition, but Reposition in CS3 is better than Reposition in CS5 (or 4) which is why I would go back to it.
    Yes, it is complicated, complex even. What I am doing is simplifying it best I can so I can work at photography, not test and measurement.

  • Lens corrections in PSE raw

    I cannot determine whether lens corrections work in ACR 6.4 using Elements 9. I know the lens correction tab is not available - but does that mean no lens corrections are applied at all - or does it simply mean I cannot manipulate the correction beyond the default provided in ACR?

    ACR will use whatever the ACR default is for the specific camera the raw file is from.  I say this because with ACR 7, at least, you can enable Auto-CA (a manual lens correction) as the default for a particular camera when using ACR with PSE10, by editing the ACR camera-defaults file with a text editor.
    Here is what I did on Windows 7 to enable Auto-CA for my brother who does not use LR nor PS, only PSE:
    1) Open a new RAW image for the camera you are wanting to affect the settings of in PSE/ACR that has never had any edits done.
    2) Go to the Camera Calibration tab in ACR (a black camera icon) and change the Process Version to 2012—this will update the camera-defaults file to have PV2012 values which include the Auto-CA.  You can skip this step if you are using an older version of PSE.
    3) Click the 3-dots-three-lines icon at the right of where it says Camera Calibration, and choose Save New Camera Raw Defaults from the bottom of the menu that pops up.  This step will create a or update the camera-specific ACR-defaults file for your computer user.
    4) Exit ACR with Cancel, and Exit PSE.
    5) Using Windows Explorer, browse to the following folder under your user folder:  c:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Defaults\ 
    The AppData folder is hidden so you may need to type this part into Explorer’s address bar.
    6) In the Defaults sub-folder there should be one or more files named:  Default_somehexdigits.XMP.
    7) Open each of these XMP files and find the one that matches the camera the raw file was from.  The value of the crs:KeyString attribute is the camera name.
    8) Further down in this XMP file, look for several lens-correction-specific attributes and change them to be the following:
           crs:LensProfileEnable=”1”
           crs:AutoLateralCA=”1”
           crs:LensProfileSetup=”LensDefaults”
    The other parameters for Vignetting and Perspective are for manual adjustments and you don’t want to set these other than “0” for your defaults although you can set them for an individual image by editing its XMP file.
    9) Save the XMP file.
    10) Start up PSE and open a new RAW file and see that the lens-distortion and Lateral-CA has been corrected as much as the auto-correction can do.

  • Lens Correction Question

    Well, I am happy to report that I completed an "optimize catalogue" and my Lightroom 3 appears to be working faster.  Fantastic.
    What I don't get now has something to do with the Lens Correction module.
    Here's my example.   When I select "Enable Profile Correction" the software correcntly picks out the make and model of my Nikon lens.  Great.
    However, previously, I was noticing that under "profile" it used to give me the Nikon D3X ... lens ... etc etc info.
    I no longer get that.  All my photos are profiled using the "Adobe (lens Nikon etc etc)"  profiles.  When I click on that box, there is no option to use the Nikon profiles.
    Question:  Is this an issue I should be worried about?  I have noticed on various tutorials that the Nikon and Adobe profiles differ ever so slightly.
    I am concerned about not being able to get accurate profiles.
    I have fiddled with going between "default" and "auto" in the "setup" drop down, but I am only able to load the Adobe profiles for the make and model of my lens.  (I only shoot Nikon by the way).
    Perhaps I am overanalyzing this but I would like my software to have the most accurate profiles and I believe the Nikon profiles are slightly more accurate than the Adobe ones.
    Can someone shed some light on this for me?
    Thanks in advance to all that take the time to reply.

    "There are two seperate "profile" areas now. You need to scroll down to the 'Camera Calibration' panel, where you will find your "camera" profiles.
    Your camera lens will be automatically detected in the Lens Correction panel, that is if it is a lens model in the database. Otherwise no lens model will show up and you will have to select 'Manual' to make your own profile. This is the case for my Sigma F2.8 Macro lens – It is NOT listed."
    Thanks for the reply however, Under the Camera Calibration module there are no camera's listed.  All I see listed under the profile tab in the Camera Calibration module is:
    ACR 4.4
    ACR 4.3
    Adobe Standard
    Camera D2X Modes 1 through 3
    Camera Landscape, neutral, portrait, standard and vivid
    My question is focussed on the lens correction.  The correct lens is listed in that module but the Nikon profiles that were present before optimization are no longer there instead replaced by Adobe's profile for the selected Nikon lens.

  • Lens Correction Filter Canvas Extension

    Ever since the Lens correction filter was introduced, I have was frustrated by the fact that the part of the image, which gets shifted off-canvas when adjusting the perspective, gets cropped.
    As a workaround, I have made it a habit to first float the background layer, then extend the canvas size all around by ten percent, before entering the Lens Correction Filter dialogue.
    Would it not be a lot neater if this functionality was included/ not needed in the Lens Correction Filter?

    Hi,
    Have you tried turning off the "Auto Scale Image" check box, located right below the automatic correction check boxes?  Using the Vertical/Horizontal Perspective sliders will still crop a tiny bit, but it should be significantly less with Auto Scale Image turned off.

  • Batch processing lens correction in LR3

    Hi folks,
    my questions today are best practise questions:
    First:
    What is the best way to apply the auto lens correction to already imported images in LR3?
    Second:
    Is it possibe to do auto lens correction during the import process? 
    Thanx for your support
    JK

    1. Select desired images, go to Develop, and click the "Enable Profile Corrections" checkbox in the Lens Corrections panel.
    Note that you will need Auto Sync enabled for this to work. In Develop, on the right panel, there is a "Sync..." button with a little switch to its left. If you click that switch, that will enable the Auto Sync feature, and the button will be renamed to show this.
    2. Yes, make a preset. Namely, pick an image and turn on profile-based lens corrections (see previous step). Go to Develop menu and choose New Preset... In the ensuing dialog box, check the "Lens Corrections" box (and whichever other boxes you want to be included in the preset). When you import your images, select this as your Develop preset. This will cause lens corrections to be applied to all images that are imported.
