Is Lens Correction Currently in ACR 6.0 ?

I'm sure this is a really dumb question, but I can't find if the ACR Lens Distortion Correction is only available in the New ACR 6.1 Release candidate or if it's supposed to also be in ACR 6.0
I have ACR 6.0 installed and have the Lens Correction Tab, but it doesn't contain any Lens Distortion corrections. I have to currently go into PSCS5 to use the Lens Distortion Filter.
Is the Distortion Tab only available in the 6.1 release candidate?
Thanks
Dave

ACR 8.7 release candidate, Nikon D750, Lens corrections tab

I capture images using a Nikon D750 & AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR lens with image quality set for NEF (RAW) + JPEG fine & image size set for Large. Slot 1 card saves the NEF files & slot 2 card saves the JPEG files. I download the images using Bridge CC Photo Downloader converting the NEF to a DNG while downloading. When editing the DNG image using the Lens Corrections tab in ACR it correctly recognizes the lens. When editing the JPEG image the same way it incorrectly identifies the lens as an AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED and does not offer a choice for the correct lens. I hoping this can be fixed soon. A workaround that seems fairly accurate is to choose the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70 f2.8G ED instead for the JPEG images.
I recently had to install Camera Raw 8.7 for CC Release Candidate Version: RC 1, Date: October 2, 2014 to recognize the D750 NEF files.

What you’re seeing is normal. Most lens profiles from Adobe are for RAW files only. Many cameras do their own corrections, nowadays, so Adobe cannot assume the raw profile would work for JPGs from the camera as a general case. For example with my new Canon 7D Mark II, which I'm awaiting raw support for at all, I can select vignetting, chromatic-aberration and geometric distortion correction as separate items on the menu to be used for producing camera JPGs. Adobe doesn't attempt to interpret such proprietary information and apply the appropriate correction for corrections I haven't already asked the camera to do, they just don't supply a lens profile at all for JPGs. The kit lenses for some cameras seem to be the exception to this, as well as a few other lenses, which I'm not sure why they've supplied profiles for. You can also download profiles others have created, themselves, using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader which you can find on the adobe.com site.
If you are confident you won't ever have distortion or vignetting correction enabled on your camera for the JPGs it produces, then you can hack a copy of the Adobe-supplied raw profile for a particular lens to be for non-raws, by changing the whateverRAW tag from True to False, and put the modified profile in the user-created profiles area of your computer and it’ll be seen and used.

ACR 6.1 vs DXO Lens Correction?

I have been experimenting with the lens correction module in ACR 6.1, which has profiles for two lenses I own, the Nikkor AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 G and the Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 G IF-ED VR, and am quite pleased with the results. The 18-70 lens is a decent consumer grade zoom that has good resolution and little chromatic aberration, but which suffers from distortion at the wide end and vignetting at large apertures. From visual onscreen editing, the vignetting is completely removed from the images and the barrel distortion at wide angle settings is sufficiently well controlled that thus far I have seen no need for manual touching up of the distortion correction.
DxO (an Adobe rival) has criticized the ACR module as offering undercorrection of distortion and vignetting under some conditions, suggesting that the Adobe profiling procedures are not sufficiently rigorous. That may be so, but thus far I have seen no major defects and they gave no examples and I am wondering what the experience of other ACR users might be.
http://www.dpreview.com/news/1005/10052001adobedxoensprofile.asp
The 70-200 zoom was highly regarded for use with APS sized sensors, but full frame users have noted an alarming degree of softenss in the corners of the image. With ACR, one could attempt to provide extra sharpening at the edges of the image with an adjustment brush, but DXO claims to automatically correct for uneven sharpness across the image field. They don't say how this is achieved, but the web site explanation hints at something more sophisticated than a variable unsharp mask (perhaps a variable deconvoluiton algorithm) and I would be interested how this works out in practice.

I hardly know where to start!
Anyway, looking at the list of available lenses, the list for Photoshop Nikon optics is extensive, and also has at least one error. The list for ACR is far less, and my principal lens isn't present. The problem with that item is that, if you choose Custom and your lens isn't on the list, it reverts to the first lens on the list and corrects the image for that. In Auto, it tells you it isn't on the list, so I would urge the use of Auto at all times when operating with commercially available lenses.
In PSCS5, my basic lens also is not present; (18 to 105 mm), but there is a lens, 18 to 125 which is not in the Nikon line. This appears to be an error. Is this the 18 to 105?
I have serious reservations with the idea of "Photographer Empowerment" with respect to lens corrections. I hope that if you publish this data it is in it's own category to which I can ignore. Lens measurement, data collection and conclusions is an intense activity and is best left to the professionals as is photo editing software. DXO knows what they are doing. The concept of "Photographer Empowerment" indicates to me Adobe does not know what it is doing. This makes me very nervous, to say the least.
Let me give you an example. I ran an image from my 70 to 300mm lens, which is on the charts, through both DXO and ACR 6.1, then set one over the other in Layers. Switching back and forth showe a vast difference in the correction for barrel/pincushion and vignetting. Which is right?
FYI, I always have two sets of raw data when anticipating running the DXO corrections so that there is no preconditioning by either party when running such tests. Also, I use DXO only for lens correction activities. Their RAW converter, imo, cannot compare to even CS3, for reasons I won't go into here. There are cheaper programs for doing barrel, vignette and such, but DXO also provides corrections for other lens errors, which makes it well worth while.
To answer my own question is that, in architectural photos, DXO is on the money. The only way to tell for sure is an optical setup that is precise and repeatable.
Finally, here is a site that uses the DXO software to provide lens tests that are extensive and comprehensive, all for the practicing photographer. Using their data for inclusion in the ACR correction would be a good start, not Photographer Empowerment.

I use them once I have narrowed down the field to a few lenses and haven't been disappointed.

Adobe Camera Raw & lens correction for Nikon 105mm f/2.8 AF Micro

Adobe Camera Raw does not have a lens profile for the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 AF D Micro lens (the discontinued 105 mm - there is a profile for the new Nikon AF-S VR 105mm f/2.8 G IE-F). However, when lens corrections are enabled, ACR (and thus Lightroom too) selects the Sigma Macro 105mm f2.8 ex dg, Nikon Corporation - presumably the Nikon Corporation means this Sigma lens with a Nikon mount. This seems like a minor bug in ACR.
Is there a place to request Adobe create a profile for the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 AF D. There are a lot of these older lenses out there and it is a great lens.

There are indeed a lot of older (and still great) lenses out there, but unfortunately we can't build profiles for them all. This is one reason (a big reason) why we've provided the free Adobe Lens Profile Creator (ALPC) tool, so users can built their own (and share them, too). You can also check the free Adobe Lens Profile Downloader (ALPD) tool and see if other users have already built a profile for this lens.

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.

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.

Where can I find lens correction profiles for EF 17-35 f/2.8L lens using ACR 6.2?

Using Photoshop CS5 Extended on iMac 10.6.4.
I'm working with wedding photos shot by a friend but I cannot find lens correction profiles for Canon EOS 20D or the EF 17-35 f/2.8L lens. When I search online it simply says "No online profiles found". Is there a download for older lens profiles? I checked & I'm using ACR 6.2. I don't have the camera so there's no way to take test photos to create my own profile. But, shouldn't there be a profile available; the camera isn't that old?

Go to DXO Pro and download the 30 day trial. It works very well for lens/body correction, and unlike Adobe, DXO maintains data on the older cameras and lenses. Updates will always have those available. Adobe is a latecomer to this part of the correction process, so as Ian said, no call, no supplier? Out of luck.
http://www.dxo.com/intl/photo
It's fair to note that DXO does not necessarily have a complete line of everything, like my Tamron 28 to 75 isn't available as a module. They do pay attention to demands, or lack therof, that are not mainstream as well. But their offerings are excellent, and the tests, professional.

Can ACR 5.7 read lens corrections? Or will 5.8?

I am really excited that lens/perspective corrections are coming to ACR and Lightroom 3. I understand that these corrections will be fully supported in ACR6.1 and LR3.
For those of us that own both Photoshop and Lightroom and wish to upgrade a single product there is a question about compatibility: can Lightroom 2.7 or ACR5.7 read and apply the lens corrections made in the newer program? If not, is a final update (LR 2.8, ACR 5.8) to these programs forthcoming?
Thank you,
Simon

Hi Eric,
That's a shame. Based on ACR4.6's support for rendering Lightroom 2 files I had hoped that something similar would apply. Especially since the underlying architecture (DNG opcodes, I guess) seems to already be implemented in ACR 5.7.
Besides that, the corrections look great and I'm looking forward to using them in LR3 (I'll probably skip PS CS5).
Simon

Where is the new lens correction in ACR 6?

I see the new lens correction filter in PS CS5, although it looks a bit different than it does in some of the pre-release videos that I saw, but I cannot find it when I open up the ACR window?
This is all that I can find and it does not have the new features in it???

Hi,
The lens correction solution is not part of the Camera Raw 6.0 plug-in. It will be included in the Camera Raw 6.1 update.

Missing lens corrections in ACR

I have an old version of CS5. The lens corrections in ACR are missing. How can I recover them?

Then update your ACR version of 6.7.1. That long ago you could still download updates and run the installer manually:
Mac: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh
Win: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows
I still have CS5 for test purposes, and this is what the ACR 6.7 Lens Correction interface should look like when adjusting a raw file, in this case a DNG:
And here is what a JPG looks like, which is the same, since neither file has a lens profile that can be found for it:
I can't take credit for either photo, as they both were downloaded from somewhere or posted to these forums as example images with issues.

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.

ACR Lens Correction vs PS CS5 (under Filter) Lens Correction

1. I would like to know why the Lens Correction tool within Photoshop CS5, under menu item "Filter", shows a choice of three pull down menus for: camera make, camera model and lens model, whereas the Adobe Camera Raw Lens Correction tool shows different pulldown menus of these: Make(Mine shows Nikon since I shoot only Nikon), Model(mine for instance shows "24.0-120.0 f3.5-f5.6", a custom profile that I did), and Profile (mine will show "Nikon D700-24.0-120.0mm f3.5-f5.6" in this slot, for the lens mentioned above.
Why does one application need the camera model and the other does not, is my main question ?
2. My last question for this evening is: when I applied my new 24-120mm lens profile to a shot that I shot from a distance of say, 30 meters away from my subject, the profile which was checked in the pulldown menu under Adobe Camera Raw, when I right-clicked my custom profile, showed a distance of 100m(and all my other sets of images showed also at correct distances and apertures, but I did not shoot any from 100m). None of my test shots were from 100m, so is the application just going to always show 100 meters for any case where you shoot from a given lens' point of infiinity or more(and the application has interpolated results for a distance of infinity which it is calling to be 100m ?
Thanks for any help,
Debra

Stola,
I am willing to share my lens profiles with others and I have sent this profile directly to Adobe and it is in the database, accessible from Photoshop CS5.
I will have to send you the lens profile as an attachment since a Lightroom user cannot access the lens profile database, according to what I have seen on this forum. You can send me a private message with your email address and I will send the file to that address, it is an 83 kilobyte file and is for RAW images, the NEFs, shot with the D700. I took 120 different images, not 27, to develop this profile, so it is a good one that I invested a lot of time in developing.
In order to send a private message to me with your email address to mail the lens profile file to, you would click on my name beside the post of the topic, and then when the menu comes up, on the right, choose "Actions", "Send private message", and then compose the note to send me your email address within the private message, unless you want to post your email address on the forum, which robots can obtain and then spam you with advertisements, etc..

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.

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!

Lens Corrections unavailable in Adobe Camera Raw 8.3

hello,
since i switched to photoshop CC (mac version), i am having constant problems with lens corrections in ACR 8.3. i am a professional photographer and i use various canon pro lenses that all exist as unique lens profiles already in photoshop and ACR's lens profile archives. when i open canon .CR2 files in adobe ACR 8.3, i encounter the message "unable to load lens profile" at the bottom right of dialog box and even though the correct lenses are identified, ACR cannot apply corrections (please see the attached visual). furthermore, this behavior happens to be sort of erratic, since it may sometimes decide to apply corrections without displaying the "unable to load lens profile" error message.
when i open the files into photoshop CC without being able to apply corrections, i try the "lens correction" menu within photoshop and it works. it is very cumbersome not to be able to do this at the ACR stage.
the ACR that came with photoshop CS 6 never had such problems and it corrected all the lenses that i had.
can you please help me to fix this issue ASAP, since this error makes me lose a lot of time in my workflow.
i also have photoshop CS6 installed in the same disk, could this have any effect?
best regards,
murat germen

Presumably you're shooting raw for everything, right, otherwise the issue can be that most raw-capable-camera's JPGs don't have lens profiles whereas raw files do, so profiles are found for raw images but not JPGs. The reverse is sometimes true, too, where a camera used to only have JPG output but now produces raw files. I believe the DJI Phantom Vision FC200 quadcopter camera is an example of such. The screenshot doesn't have enough of the ACR interface to see the name of the file.
Are the profiles that aren't found consistently the same lens or are they from various lenses that also have photos that work in ACR 8.3 at other times? And do the same photos that fail to have lens profiles load in ACR 8.3 at one point then work if you open them again, later? In other words does the intermittency seem to be tied to either the specific photos or the specific lenses or not? Specific photos could mean there is something corrupted in the photo. Specific lenses could mean that the lens profiles are missing, somehow, or inaccessible due to permission problems.
Is CS6 updated to the same ACR 8.3 version or is it older? If it is older then install the ACR 8.3 update for CS6. This will re-install the lens and camera profiles, again.
If CS6 is already updated to ACR 8.3, too, then install the DNG Converter 8.3, which also will install the profiles, again.
The DNG Converter can be found, here:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
If you can't figure it out, then uninstall PS-CC, log out of the CC Desktop app, log back in--so it sees that CC is missing, then re-download and install CC. This should reset ACR back to 8.0 or 8.1 after which you can install the ACR 8.3 update, again.
