Import lens profile into Lightroom 4.3

Hi,
As my camera is fairly "old", lightroom does not have a lens correction profile for it. I have created a lens correction profile with Adobe Lens Profile Creator. Now how can I import this profile in Lightroom?
Thanks

Are you are on a Mac? I am on Windows and the locations for the profiles given above are for Windows, not a Mac.
With LR 4.3, you cannot put the user profiles into the folder with the Adobe profiles. I can't tell you how things work on a Mac nor exactly where they should go without Googling where user profiles go on a Mac.
I can say that I put the profile you supplied into this exact folder on my Windows 7 computer and it worked right off, as soon as I enabled lens profile corrections for the JPG:
C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Downloaded
as evidenced by the righthand panel in this screenshot:
However, as you can see with the before and after portion of the screenshot, there appears to be something wrong with at least the vignetting correction, because the corners are over-lightened, and almost the entire image is much brighter with the lens profile applied. I've never created a lens profile to know if what I'm seeing is due to a common mistake when creating profiles such as uneven lighting, or if perhaps the profile doesn't have enough different focal-length combinations so it is applying a correction for a completely different position of the lens and overlightening. Or perhaps the vignetting has already been corrected in the JPG that was supplied so now it is being double-corrected by applying the profile, again.

Help with importing lens profile to Lightroom 5.4 for Windows

Hi,
I'm running Adoble Lightroom 5.4 on Windows. I recently bought a Rokinon 14mm lens for Canon and have a couple lens profiles that I want to try out. I have already tried importing to the two following locations below and nothing showed up when I restarted Lightroom. Any solutions?@@
C: > Users > User > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > CameraRaw > LensProfiles > 1.0 > Then I created a folder called Downloaded > Then I created another folder inside the folder Downloaded called Rokinon and dropped the lens profiles in there.
Here is the other one I tried:
C: > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.4 > Resources > LensProfiles > 1.0 > Then I created a folder called called Rokinon and dropped the lens profiles in there.

Something is weird about this lens profile file. It appears to be for a Canon 85mm lens, not a Samyang 14mm lens, and, as you say, this profile is for JPG files not RAW files. If you want it to apply to raw files you need to change the CameraRawProfile from False to True.
After changing the False to True, because the Make is set to Canon you have to go to the Canon lens list not the Samyang list in the Lens Profile selection dropdown list, or edit the Make to have Samyang..
Because there is an 85 for several focal-length numbers, not 14, I think the correction being applied may be totally wrong. Where did you get this lens profile file? The other profile file you sent has 50mm in some focal-length areas and 85 in others.
To be able to tell if this, or the other profile, is reasonable, you probably need to take a picture of something with a grid of lines, like a brick wall and see if there is barrel or pincushion distortion that is corrected or worsened.
Here is a screencapture of the file as it looks in a text editor with notes about what seems wrong:

How to import lens corrections into Lightroom?

I have downloaded some lens corrections from the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader for lenses that didn't exist in my LR5. I do not know how to import these into LR5.

Hi Billy. See this page, which has instructions: Adobe Lightroom

Missing Canon lens profile into lightroom

Hi Guys
I have LR4.1 and I just realized that I am missing the one for my 100-400 f4,5/5,6
any idea how can I get it ?
Many thanks
have a super day, Thierry

It is possible to save a duplicate of the lens profile file, and "kludge" it from Raw to non-Raw using a text editor. This generally works well enough; much better than manual corrections alone - provided that the camera is not also applying lens correction, and so confusing matters.

Can I load a specific camera/lens profile into LR and if so how?

Can I load a specific camera/lens profile into LR and if so how?

If the camera profile or lens profile is in a Lightroom compatible format (i.e. created by the DNG Profile Editor or Lens Profile Creator) then you can load the profile into LR by putting it into the following folder and restarting LR.
Windows Vista or 7—C: \ Users \ [your username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ CameraRaw \ CameraProfiles \
Mac—Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /
For the lens profiles, substitute the LensProfiles folder for the CameraProfiles folder.

Can't import iphoto library into Lightroom

Lightroom does not appear to recognise my pics in the Mac iphoto library. I can import from other folders/files but not directory from iphoto. Likewise I can't export a photo back into iphoto once it has been "developed" in Lightroom.
Do I have to change some preferences or something?

I recently changed my pc for a mac and all my old photo files were transferred across into iphoto and any new photos from my camera were imported straight into iphoto. I have since started a course where we use Lightroom but find I can't import any photos stored in iphoto into Lightroom. iphoto is always "shaded out" in the list when I try to import into Lightroom.
What do you suggest I do in order to import these photos into Lightroom?

Can't import any images into lightroom 5

Working away in my studio and suddenly I can't import any images into lightroom 5 (version5.5) for macbook pro os x 10.9.5

Thank you for your response,
...my complete goofiness.
I somehow managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom when importing images and could not copy to the "location" (or as the right panel indicates, the "destination").
So adjusted my destination folder and am back to importing as usual.

I can't import raw files into lightroom

I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

I don't use nikon software. I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

Do you have Lightroom 5.3 or higher?
Did you use Nikon software at any point on these photos?

How to select my custom monitor calibration profile into Lightroom 5.7? I used i1 Display Pro to calibrate my monitor, I could not find or confirm that Lightroom is using my custom monitor calibration profile? Thank you very much.

How to select my custom monitor calibration profile into Lightroom 5.7? I used i1 Display Pro to calibrate my monitor, I could not find or confirm that Lightroom is using my custom monitor calibration profile? Thank you very much.

The monitor profile is set at system level. Lightroom will find it there and use it. You're not supposed to do anything, i1 Profiler will do it all for you.
Go here to confirm that the right profile is set as system default (Windows):

Adding a Lens Profile to lightroom from Adobe lens profile creator

Hi, I just made a lens profile from the lens profile creator for my Canon 80-200 2.8L. I then added the profile to the 1.0 folder that holds all the other lens profiles. However, lightroom does not list to profile as an option in the lens profiles. Is there something else that I need to do?

While the more recent PDF link still works, the “Lightroom Queen” has done some recent website maintenance and the URL for default locations of files is different:
http://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/lightroom-5-default-locations/
Obviously the link I provided had my username “Steve” in it and you’d be substituting your username, instead. Also the AppData folder is hidden so you have to either enable viewing hidden folders in Explorer or just type it into the Explorer address bar and hit Enter.
The other issue you might have, which was already talked about in the preceding discussion, is that camera profiles are specific to raw or non-raw formats and if what is in your DNG is a JPG then perhaps it wouldn’t work.
Would you mind providing the DNG and the associated camera profile via a website like dropbox.com and if you have it, the original file that was wrapped up as a DNG?

Can't find lens profiles on lightroom anymore...

So the other day I went to go set lens corrections on a picture in lightroom 3 (windows 7 64 bit version) and all the lens profiles were gone, except one for the apple iphone, which is no help to me. I don't know what happened. please help?
Also, I've been having issues importing photos, I keep ending up with 3 copies of each picture.
Not to mention LR keeps freezing up...

Do you mean you can only see Apple in the Make box after you enable Camera Profiles, or are other camera/lens manufacturers also listed and Apple is just the first one, with 3 iPhone model options?
If Apple is your only Make choice, then you can check to see if the profile folders and files still exist on Windows 7, since it's possible all the Adobe ones are gone or inaccessible due to some security issue, and only a custom-downloaded one is shown.
The Adobe-installed profiles are in two places:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw
C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\CameraRaw
And any user-installed profiles go under:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw
The AppData and ProgramData folders in the above paths are hidden or system so they won't necessarily show up in Explorer clicking down from the root of the C: drive, unless you have changed your folder options to show hidden and system files, but you can type in the path in the address bar of Explorer and get to the folders even if they are hidden.
Selecting Auto will try to find the right camera profile based on the EXIF information in the photo, but you should be able to choose Custom and select any manufacturer. The profiles are specific for either RAW or JPG files, though.
