Lens correction 6.3 -- automatic vs manual

Installed 6.3 RC -- yay! worked like a charm, automatic lens correction identified my kit lens for D5000 and made the changes. Love it.
Refresh my memory: for images where I had made manual adjustments (chromatic aberration etc) but now there is a lens profile, I should undo the manual adjustments and just let the automatic correction do its thing?

I should undo the manual adjustments and just let the automatic correction do its thing?
Yes. Otherwise you will double correct.

Lens correction won't automatically detect lens and correct

I'm having a fun time with the lens correction feature in LR 3.2, but it will not auto detect the lens. I have all profiles loaded, I checked. I convert all photos to .dng from the .nef format. (Nikon shooter) When I enable the profile corrections button the setup changes to custom and the lens profile "maker" drop down says none??? and on the bottom it reads "Unable to locate a matching profile automatically." If I change the Make to Tamron by manually selecting it, for example, it finds the profile and all is well. How in the heck do I set it up so the profile connection is enabled automatically and the right lens pops up without intervention?? Hope someone can help with this...I'm working through 500 down selects and this would be nice to fix this issue.
I can see all the lens info in the metadata on the normal library screen????.
Thanks so much for your help in advance!

So you have Tamron lenses...
Here's a quote from a post by Eric Chan (one of LR/ACR developers):
Re: the Sigma 10-20 question. Regrettably, we cannot always automatically determine with 100% certainty the identity of the lens used to shoot the image. We try to be conservative. So if in doubt, we don't choose one automatically. For some third party lenses, this can happen. Choosing Sigma from the Make popup is the right thing to do in this case.
Still, you can try the following trick:
Choose an image shot with a Tamron lens.
Go to lens correction. (The Lens profile auto-detection is supposed to be failed at the moment.)
Choose Tamron and the desired profile from the lists.
Drop down the Setup list and choose "Save New Lens Profile Defaults".
This should rememeber the lens setup (i.e. slider values and lens profile) for the given camera/lens combination.
You can also use a develop preset to apply a lens correction quickly.

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 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.

Manual Lens Correction in Lightroom 4

The Manual Lens Correction sliders in Lightroom 4 seem completely useless. They aren't working the same as they do in Lightroom 3. Instead of being able to fix keystoning of images, now the horizontal and vertical sliders just stretch or distort photos. Is this a bug? If not, is it possible to go back to the functionality from LR3? If this isn't possible, I'm probably going to switch back to Lightroom 3, since this is one of the program's most useful features.

Lee Jay wrote:
... This functionality hasn't changed at all for me - it works exactly as before.
I think so, too.
See my example in the feedback forum demonstrating the different effect of the manual transformation sliders depending on the angle of view: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/i_would_love_automation_in_the_lens_ correction_manual_panel : There is an automatic aspect ratio correction, and for photos taken with a rather small angle of view, this is mostly a stretch/distort. Which is totally correct IMHO (and hasn't changed since LR3).
P.S. I don't know which angle of view LR assumes for photos w/o information about focal length and sensor size (probably 50mm focal length and 35 mm film format ("full format") sensor.

LR5.4: Why does automatic lens correction profile no longer work for SONY NEX-5N?

Starting in LR5.4, if I attempt to apply automatic lens profile corrections, LR applies a profile for a Hasselblad LF 18-55 camera lens instead.
Formerly, in LR 5.3, the 'make' in the lens profile pane automatially matched the EXIF 'make' of the NEX-5N; namely, "Sony", and the correct lens profile was applied automatically.
In LR5.4, I must now manually select make = "Sony E" to appy a "setup=custom" profile before LR applies the correct lens profile. The minute I set 'make=Sony E', LR applies a profile that matches the lens in use: either the "Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-F5.6 OSS", the "Sony E 16mm F2.8 OSS" lens or the "Sony E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS" lens that I use.
Another issue: I am not certain of this, but I swear the LR5.4 lens profile correction now *increases* pin-cushion image distortion, whereas it worked beautifully in LR5.3. (I should take a photograph of a grid to see if my impression is correct.) Are the lens profile corrections applied to a camera with EXIF make="Sony E" different from those applied to an EXIF make="Sony" (i.e., the NEX-5N)? If so, this is a shame, for it means LR no longer fully supports the NEX-5N.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
(I believe LR5.4 may have picked up on recent product line changes announced by SONY, wherein NEX will be marketed as Sony Alpha E cameras, and I imagine they will be changing the EXIF 'make' of new cameras to reflect this. However, that won't be changing the EXIF make of my NEX-5N.)

Why is that so and how can I get the proper lens profile automatically if the lens does have its own Adobe profile loaded?
Frustrated ...
Pick the correct lens manually then choose 'Save New Lens Profile Defaults' from Setup drop down menu. Lr should remember the lens and use it as the default in future. See screenshot below

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.

Missing lens correction activated automatically

There is many develop functions which can be pre-set in LR preferences. One of the mostly used functions is the lens correction (at least for me). I use it for every picture. But, this function can not be automatically activated via settings presets. When you have proceed 100+ more RAW pictures in short time, it is very boring to set it manually for every picture separatelly.
I have read, in the LR4, there should be possibility to preset automatically picture develop options according the picture ISO, but either I did not find it there or it does not work.

So just clarify for me, are you having to manually check the lens corrections checkbox, or select a different lens? Both can be automated, just need to know which you're getting stuck on.

Lens Correction Manual Slider Bug!

Hello,
I've been having a problem with the Lens correction Manual Sliders. Constrain Crop selected.
The vertical and horizontal sliders are behaving more like the distortion slider.
When sliding left or right they are pulling from the center, rather than the right or left end.
Also, with the scale slider....If I scale down it shifts to the right. when I reset all the sliders to zero.
The image doe not reset to its original position.
Is this something that the Lightroom 4 team is aware of?
One all the bugs are fixed I look forward to its release! Your hard work on this software is appreciated!
Best, Pam

The vertical and horizontal sliders are behaving more like the distortion slider.
When sliding left or right they are pulling from the center, rather than the right or left end.
Well, they *are* distortion sliders (sort of), leaving the very center of the photo unchanged. This has not changed from LR3. I can see no bug there. Also keep in mind that the visual effect is very different from wide angle photos to tele photos. Photos made with a tele lens are more or less just changed in the aspect ratio, and not so much distorted like wide angle photos.
Also, with the scale slider....If I scale down it shifts to the right.
This can happen if you used the horizontal slider before, combined with "Constrain Crop" - because the usable part of the photo shifts to one side or another. In the same way, scaling will shift up/down if one used the vertical slider before. This is perfectly normal. Hint: Try the vertical and horizontal sliders independently, with scaling set to 50 (minimum) and "Constrain Crop" *OFF* to see what they do with the photo - that made it a lot clearer to me how they work.
when I reset all the sliders to zero. The image doe not reset to its original position.
Also normal, because if you reset the manual corrections after working with "Constrain Crop" enabled, only the manual corrections themselves are reset, leaving the crop&straighten tool at some "funny" settings. Go to crop&straighten and reset it, too.
In conclusion, I see no bugs here. I also fiddled with the various manual sliders, and could not see any behaviour that was different to LR3, which has no bugs in this respect as far as I know...
P.S. I am not sure if I quoted the last question correctly or not. I assume these two sentences belong together?

Erratic behaviour of Manual Lens Correction in Develop Module

64 bit Windows 7
Sometimes - not always - using the manual lens correction, with Constrain Crop activated, leads to the image jumping around very quickly and erractically and it being impossible to achieve fine control using the mouse: tiny movements of the slider by dragging with the mouse result in large jerky movements of the image. I have only used this for correcting converging verticals and cannot comment on the other adjustments.
Moreover, on a subsequent crop when this has happened, it may be impossible to crop as you would like using the crop tool - the top edge of the image jumps above the intended crop outline. The only way to get the crop you want when this happens is to adjust each edge individually, rather than by dragging the corner.
Apologies if I have not explained this well. In short, it seems to be a bug whereby proper mouse control of the lens correction is lost. I often correct converging verticals in buildings and have never seem the same behaviour in version 3. I cannot always replicate it in version 4, but it happens a lot.
Hope this feedback helps. I cannot see that it has been reported elsewhere in this forum.

Hmmm, this is going to be tricky. I just tried to replicate it on two photos on which I know I had the problem, by going back to the original import setting, but both behaved fine this time! Both, as it happens, were portait format, having been rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise from the original. I cannot recall, I am afraid, whether or not other ones with which I had an issue had been rotated first. I will try to replicate and keep more detailed notes. In at least these two instances, I had not applied a lens correction profile first. The vertical transformation slider would be set to somewhere between -25 to -35.
Having played about with this for a while now without full replication, I have one idea which may or may not be correct. When I reset the Develop settings and started on the Lens Corrections first, absolutely nothing untoward happened. Now I have gone back and done a number of other adjustments first (as I would often do, before correcting the perspective). In this case, the vertical adjustment slider seems more sensitive to small mouse movements - definitely discernible, but not nearly as bad as the examples I have seen previously when I was not looking for them, nor is there yet any sign of the cropping problem. Maybe the effect becomes more pronounced as the number of edits accumulates before applying the manual Lens Corrections. If this is correct, I do not know whther the effect is cumulative across all edits to all images (as if memory is not being released - but that should not be a problem, since I have 12GB of RAM and nothing else running) or whether it is a per image phenomenon, since I have only recently re-opened Lightroom. You will know better than I whether this is a possiblity, but it is just a thought as I play with this without so far being able fully to replicate the issue. I have some work to do on a number of images and if I get time, I will come back to these images to see if the problem manifests itself more clearly after a larger number of edits across multiple images in a single session without closing Lightroom.
I am very sorry this is so vague and quite speculative. I hope I will be able to give you more accurate feedback later.

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?

Is it possible to use automatic lens correction profiles in Camera RAW using Extendscript?

I have developed Javascripts using Extendscript toolkit to help me process batches of files for creating time lapse videos, and
I would like to take advantage of the automatic lens correction profiles available in Adobe Camera RAW (I am using Adobe Photoshop CS6 64-bit), but in the CameraRAWOpenOptions, there is no property describing the automatic lens correction profiles. It seems there has got to be a way to automate the selection of the "Enable Lens Profile Corrections" box when opening camera RAW images. I am using Canon lenses, and the Adobe lens correction profiles work great, so I'd like to use them.
I am aware of the other way of doing this in Photoshop using File-->Automate-->Lens Correction, but this seems to work more slowly than using the lens corrections in Camera RAW.
Thanks.

You don't need to bother...just set your Camera Raw "Defaults" to include Enable Lens Profile Corrections and check the Auto CA correction. Then go to the ACR flyout menu and select Save New Camera Raw Defaults...Note: if you have your ACR preferences set to have seperate defaults based on camera serial number and ISO, you'll need to save out seperate defaults for each camera and ISO you use.

Lens Correction Profiles: Unable to locate matching profiles automatically

In LR3, I can't seem to load the auto lens correction profiles for my Canon lenses, many of which should be readily available. I used the 24-70L 2.8 USM lens and the 50mm 1.4 lenses on a recent shoot and the profiles can't be found. Is there a place to download the stock LR3 profiles to enable this option? I'm not that interested in making custom profiles at this time.
Here's what I'm seeing:
Thanks for any help.

The lens profiles coming from Adobe should be installed automatically when installing LR, no need to install them seperately. You can check for files named
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM) - RAW.lcp
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM).lcp
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM) - RAW.lcp
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM).lcp
in the folder
WinXP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Canon
WinVista or 7:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Canon
Mac:
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Canon
These are the profiles provided by Adobe for the lenses you mention. If they are there, something seems to be wrong in LR recognizing your lens. If they're not, try reinstalling LR3.

Lightroom 3.4.1 Lens Corrections – Manual Tab Defaults

I'm running LR 3.4.1 on Windows 64bit OS. I just discovered some pictures shot recently with my 5D MKII have the Lens Corrections Manual tab Chromatic Aberration settings applied Red/Cyan = -17 and Blue/Yellow = +5. I hadn't applied these settings so went back and checked my Lens Profile defaults only to find this is the default for those settings. What I mean is when you double-click on the Manual tab slider titles 'Red/Cyan' and ‘Blue/Yellow,' or on the heading title 'Chromatic Aberration, these are the settings applied as "defaults." I would have expected the default to be '0' for both, and there does not appear to be anyway to reset them to '0' other than manually correcting each. I tried 'Reset Lens Profile Defaults,' but that only resets the settings in the 'Profile' tab.
It appears to have only affected one group of pictures and import of new pictures applies the Lens Profile correctly with Manual tab settings at '0.' But it still defaults to the non-zero settings for Manual CA when double-clicking as described above, which is probably how I screwed up on that one group of pictures.
Anyone have ideas in what is going on...or am I simply overlooking something obvious?

Thanks Lee Jay. I must have inadvertently set those when updating the camera profile. ALT key, 'Set Default' and selected 'Update to current settings' with them set back to '0' did the trick.

Good morning, I returned a few days abroad (Antigua), 4 my iphone does not come back to the correct time of Rome in automatic mode but only manually, there is a solution to restore the correct time in automatic mode? ? Thank you.
