How do i apply lens corrections?

I'm trying to figure out how i apply software corrections for various lenses.

Mr. Lloyd is absolutely correct. However, if by some chance you are using a Nikon DSLR with Nikkor lenses, you will be able to download from the NikonUSA Support website the latest lens distortion control updates for your DSLR and Nikkor lenses. But remember that Nikon lens distortion control data for Nikkor lenses is only applied to your Nikon cam original JPEG files, not to the Nikon original RAW (NEF) files. These lens distortion algorithms are applied only to the original JPEGs by the Nikon cam body software, and Aperture does not touch this JPEG data on import.

How can I apply 'Lens Correction' to 32bit image without reducing to 16bit?

I'm looking for a way to apply 'Lens Correction' to a 32bit image. The image is originally 8bit, but I need to bring it up to 32bit when running the HDR. I only seem to be able to do 'Lens Correction' on 8 or 16bit images however, and the quality of a 32bit HDR wipes the floor with a 16. I'm a bit new to smart filters so hopefully there is something simple and obvious that I'm missing! Any help?

How to apply lens correction profile to multiple images at once?

I have a quick newbie question and I couldn't find an answer in a brief search that I did. Is it possible to apply lens correction profile automatically to multiple images at once? For my RAW images, LR automatically detects the lens and applies the correction profile for an image if I manually click on "Enable lens correction" option under Develop module (in the right pane where adjustments are made). However, I would like to do this to multiple images all at once.
Thanks,
Osho

Be careful using develop setting synchronization for lens profile across mutiple images! This allows applying an incorrect profile (i.e. Canon 17-40mm profile with synchronization to images shot with multiple lenses) First use the 'filter' tool to make sure you select images shot with only one (1) lens type. Then follow one of the procedures here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WS0E6E6886-E223-4050-B6E0-A97B5B62EF7D.htm l
You can also change the "default" develop settings with 'Lens Profile' option checked and then save as the "new default" setting. LR will then "automatically" apply lens profile correction on import of new images.

Applying Lens Corrections Across Entire Import

When I choose an image, one of the first things I always do is apply lens corrections. In 99% of the cases, I don't have to tweak these. I'm shooting with multiple camera bodies, and an import normally happens from hard disk, but it would be wonderful if during the import Lightroom could apply the lens corrections that correspond to the lens/camera body used for each image imported.
A preset seems like it would have to know or assume the camera body/lens combination in advance. That's why I've initially ruled presets out. Do I have this right or would a preset honor the camera/lens combinations from image to image?
Thanks,
Steve

I agree with everything stated here, but use a workflow that may work better for you. I reset my lens profile default settings to 0% Distortion, 100% C Aberration, and 50% Vignetting, and then select 'Lens Profile Corrections' as a part of each camera body's default Develop settings (Develop>Set Default Settings>Update To Current Settings).
Here's my rationale based on processing 1,000s of images in LR shot with numerous single focal length, wide angle zoom and telephoto zoom lenses:
- Distortion is normally only visible in pictures that contain distinct straight line objects. My Canon 17-40mm L lens has fairly high barrel distortion at 17mm on my full frame 5D MKII, but I rarely see it in critical architectural shots. When I do apply 100% distortion correction with this lens at 17mm, the objects near the frame edge and corners become noticeably stretched or elongated. In addition these "corrected areas will be cropped from the picture where they now extend outside the original frame. You will lose part of your picture image and reduce the resolution of the file slightly. In the vast majority of the pictures shot with many different lenses I prefer 0% Distortion correction as my default starting point.
- Chromatic Aberration correction using the LR Profile Correction setting at 100% works very well for all my lenses, with no redeeming visual side effects or need to change it on individual images.
- Vignetting varies greatly from lens to lens and by focal length, but I haven't found a single image that benefits from using a 100% Vignetting setting. You should also be aware that even the very best extreme wide angle lenses (24mm and less on full frame, 15mm and less on 1.6 crop) usually exhibit significant vignetting, and image softness in the corners due to uncorrected astigmatism, coma and field curvature. A 100% Vignetting setting will correct the vignetting at the expense of making the corner softness much more apparent. For all of my lenses and bodies I prefer a default Vignetting setting of 50% as a starting point. I only adjust those images that still have visible vignetting on an "as needed" basis.
Your mileage may vary!

Anyone know how to reset the lens correction filter? (it's using the wrong scratch disk)

OK, to back up a little, I recently discovered that photoshop was using the wrong drive for it's scratch disk (it wasn't obeying the preferences I'd set). So, I reset the photoshop preferences file (ctrl-alt-shift & open photoshop).
Trouble is, the lens correction filter is still using drive "F:" (my only scratch disks are C, D and I). It access it at a root level and creates some temporary files while the filter is in use.
Does anyone know how I can get photoshop to behave?
Thanks

How do I install Lens Correction Files (.lcp) files into PS CS5?

Hi - I have a specific .lcp file I need to install into Photoshop CS5 but the folder it says to install to doesn't seem to exist. Help please!!
This is where it says to install, but I can't find any folders after "users"?
/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/

There's a bit more to it. (It's most unusual for gener7 to have missed it in #1 above.)
Depending on your OS version, the User Library is hidden. You need to make it visible first by going to the "Go" menu in the Mac OS Finder, select the "Go to Folder…" menu item [Shift+Command+G] and in the field labeled the "Go to the Folder:" menu item and type ~/Library, where the tilde ~ stands for username, then click on the Go button:
Then follow the path as per the instructions:

How to correct Lens Correction Profile choosing the wrong lens?

Using LR 3.5.1. When applying Lens Corrections/Profile/Enable in Default, my Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 actual lens is being corrected by the profile for a Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 lens. I can tell it's the wrong correction because the barrel distortion after using the default profile is not corrected, and when I manually select the 4-5.6 lens the correction is perfect. So I know the right data is embedded in the LR correction data bank but is not being used.
I found that when I set the profile Setup selector to "Auto" the correct lens is selected and the correction it makes is "correct." But then moving to the next photo it switches to Default again, selecting the wrong lens, and so has to be set to Auto for each photo. This action doesn't seem to me to me an expected result called "Setup." I need this for my home interior photography, and with hundreds of photos a week I don't want to manually operate this. This didn't happen until v.3.4 or 3.5, I think.
So, how do I get it to select the right lens as the Default, or get the Auto setting to stick? Either would do. (Seems to me they logically are the same thing).
==========
In addition, why isn't it possible to have the profile itself enabled as a default perhaps in a preset - or is that possible and I don't know how to do it? In other words, once it's working right, why not make it an import preset for that lens?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the quick reply, Ian - it works.
I wonder how many users have used the wrong corrections, and will
continue to do so not knowing it's an error. Now I wish the profile
Enable could be a default as well.

How to keep lens corrections when sending images to Photoshop?

I have a group of architectural photos shot in RAW format with a 10-20mm lens that I have applied lens corrections to in Lightroom 3. When I open them in Photoshop using Bridge, the lens corrections go away. I have had the same problem in using Photomatix Pro's batch processing mode to create HDR images. If I select the trio of images from the filmstrip in Lightroom, right-click on them and then export them to Photomatix, the lens corrections stay, but if I close Lightroom and use Photomatix Pro's batch processing mode to select and process the images, then the corrections go away. Any ideas?

Lens correction is a function of acr, and LR communicates such settings with PS CS5 and above. If you are on CS4, in order to keep them, LR must render them before sending on.
The same reason you can't do batch processing from Photomatix, they don't understand LR processing without the current ACR, which is only compatible with LR3 and PS5 (and, one assumes, higher). So when you export from LR, LR does the processing for you before sending on.. so you keep your changes.
Same if you have CS4 or lower, LR would do the rendering for you.
Does that make sense to you?
Cheers!

What has happened to auto correction in Lens correction filter CS6?

Hi. When I try to apply lens correction in Auto Lens correction it is greyed out. Why is it not recognising my camera and lens which it does in CS5?

Thank you Peter. I appreciate your help but it is not viable. I translate huge document with amount of styles. My computer is set up in English so when I open a new document default language is English.
I mark the text I want to translate as Spanish and start out. The texts are not complicated and have a lot of repeatings. For instance all motors in a factory project may be assigned: "Explosin proof type".
I have untill recently just copy-pasted this into Edit & Replace, translated into Spanish and replaced this sentence throughout the whole document.
Know Pages is correcting what I paste into the field. It is no longer "Explosin proof type" but has changed into "Explosin proof tupe".
If it works I can translate maybe 500 positions in one document with only a few operations.
Does anyone know how to take "Spelling Auto Correction" off in the Edit & Replace part.

Lens Correction in LR 5

How do I set Lens Correction Profile so that my make of camera and the lens used is the default setting please

The only way that I know how to do this is to make a Develop preset that only incorporates the appropriate lens profile and no other adjustments and then set up the import dialog to apply that develop preset to all imports.
With current images already imported apply the lens profile correction to an image and then select all the images made with that camera/lens combination and then do a 'Sync...' with only the 'LensCorrection' and 'Lens Profile Corrections' ticked.

Lens correction import

I would like to apply lens correction automatically on import. i have a develop preset that does this, and i have it set to apply automatically on import. Here's my question: Should it recognize the lens used for each picture and apply the correction for that specific lens? The reason I ask is that LR doesn't seem to be applying the correction for my newest lens, a Tokina 17-35mm. The lens is listed in the list of lenses, so i'm confused as to why it's not being applied automatically.
Attached is how the lens correction panel looks after importing a photo with this lens.
I searched the forum for this topic and found some old ones but none with the recent version of LR.
what am i doing wrong?

Here's what i was told on another forum by Victoria Brampton (she's incredible) and it worked:
"It just needs a helping hand. Lens metadata isn't very well standardized yet.
Select the profile from the pop-ups, then select Save New Lens Profile Defaults from the Setup pop-up and it should be able to select it automatically in future."

Scripting Lens Correction to process millions of photos

We have several million "Fish-Eye" images that we need to flatten out and the new "Lens Correction" feature of Photoshop CS5 appears to work pretty well. I was able to use the predefined File -> Automate -> Lens Correction function to process a hanfull of images and it worked fine for a small batch.
I would like to know if there is a way with Photoshop CS5 to script/batch out a process so that I can use it to process the millions of individual files we need to have processed.
Also, I am not familiar with the Photoshop "Batch" or "Scripting" process, so assuming the above request is possible, some direction on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Lee

Unfortunatly I'm talking millions of images. Anwhere from 3 to 20 millon. Space is not an issue but time may be but that will all be evaluated during this process.
From what I've figured out so far, handling this via a script would probalby be the best way to handle it as I may have to do some other integration in order to retrieve my lists of files to process, handle errors and dynamically name the saved images. I also believe scripting will allow me to run the process from outside of Photoshop.
For now, however, I'm trying the simpler approach mentioned above. So how would I go about creating an action to applie lens correction?
Thanks
