Lens Correction gets brands mixed up

Here is what I did:
image from Nikon D700 with 24-70 f/2.8, Lens Profile Correction applied
pulled back Vignetting in Lens Profile Correction to 0
saved as a Preset (only Lens Correction > Lens Profile Corrections checked)
applied this Preset to an image taken with Canon 5D MarkII and 70-200 f/2.8 IS
Profile Corrections say "Custom" and apply lens profile for Nikon 24-70 f/2.8!
if I set Profile Corrections to "Default" or "Auto" the correct profile will be applied
if I drag Vignetting back to 0 however, the Nikon profile will be applied again!
So there seems to be a bug with profile assignment.

Dorin, I just meant you are well respected
Ian, I understand perfectly what it does now, what I am questionaing is 'is that the best option' ?
I don't understand why anyone would want changing a percentage to force it to use the same lens profile for all selected images?
so, to recap:
leave all amounts at 100%, it correctly picks each lens profile for each selected image
change a percentage, now it uses the same lens profile for all images, even if different lenses are used.
Would it not be better to always pick the correct lens profile? IE, I can see no benefit to the current behaviour...

Where do I get Lens Profile for lens correction in LR3

I have LR3 and need help figuring something out. I mainly shoot with a Tamron 24-70mm. LR3 doesn't list this lens under the lens correction so I can't correct any of the lens distortion. Anyone know where/how I can locate/install this profile? Do I get this from Adobe, Tamron, etc?

There are three Tamron 24-70 lens profiles, but all were added to the LR 4.x series:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html
So the obvious solution is to upgrade your LR to 5.x for $80, or sign up for PS-CC+LR5 bundle at $10/month (for a limited time).
A more complicated way to get these profiles is to install the latest DNG Converter which includes all lens profiles, then copy the lens profiles you need over to the third-party lens profile under your Users folder and LR 3 should pick them up, assuming that folder hasn’t changed places between LR3 and LR5.
I am not a Mac person, but on Windows, the DNG Converter installed profiles would be under:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Tamron
And the place to put them is:
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\downloaded
AppData is a hidden folder so you just have to type it into the Explore address area and hit Enter or turn on hidden folders in Explorer or type %APPDATA% in Explorer and hit Enter will get you down to the Roaming folder.
You can find the latest DNG Converter at: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

I don't get the Lens Correction Profile for Sigma 10-20?

I see several postings of people discussing the lens profile for the Sigma 10-20. As a proud 10-20 owner, that is the first profile I looked for in LR3, but in my (trial) copy I don't seem to have it - there's only the DC4.5, DC18-200, DG8, DG12-24, and the DG15.
Where can I find the Sigma 10-20 lens correction profile that others are referring to?
(Thanks!)

That is confusing.... So I cannot see/use the Sigma 10-20 lens profile on any jpg picture ... ?!?
Is there no Sigma profile for jpg available?
Well....technically no.
However, I found this approach limiting so I converted all the Sigma-generated raw profiles to JPEG profiles. Yes, they might not be perfect, but they work better than nothing (actually, way better than nothing).
Inside each profile lcp file, you'll find tags that look like this:
<stCamera:CameraRawProfile>True</stCamera:CameraRawProfile>
or this
<stCamera:CameraRawProfile>False</stCamera:CameraRawProfile>
The first is for raw files, the second for JPEGs. There can be many such tags in each lcp file.
What I did was copy all the Sigma-generated profiles and replace all those tags in the copies. Voila! JPEG profiles for Sigma lenses.

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

Lens correction and Develop defaults

in this video http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/enhancing-light/ J. Kost shows how to create default settings in the Develop module so that your photos are always lens corrected (she recommends doing that for every photo). I followed her instructions (they are pretty simple) and i'm getting mixed results. Sometimes when i open my photo in Develop, i see that the lens correction has been applied (good). Other times, there is none applied, and if i enable it, it applies the correction (so i know it can be applied.). All my photos are shot with the same Nikon D300, but some are shot with different lenses, and some are shot in JPEGs. I can't yet determine any pattern to why some have correction applied and others don't. Questions:
-- should this work for all photos shot with the same camera and different lenses?
-- should this work for all photos shot with the same camera but some in JPEG and others in RAW?
-- does this work only when a photo is opened in Develop?
Thanks!

that's interesting and curious -- why is that? do you recommend only using manual lens correction?
The underlying "Warping* model required for distortion correction is very processor intensive, but this is not the only factor we need to take into account. The choice of how and when to apply the profile in the workflow should be based on, amongst other things, image content, lens used, cpu and system resources. For example, does every image really need geometric distortion correction? Do some images not actually benefit from some vignetting?
Above examples actually highlight another issue (i.e. both lens distortion and vignette correction are built into a single profile). First, we have the correction of geometric distortion, which is the correction that hurts local adjustment and healing brush performance. Then we have correction of lens vignetting, which tends to brighten up the image as whole, rather than just the corners. Applying the lens profile up front will hurt when you carry out any local adjustments or healing whereas any fine tuning of overall tonal balance on an uncorrected image will be screwed up when vignette correction kicks in. So, which hurts your workflow more slow brush performance or having to re-edit tonal balance?

Lens Correction not happening in RAW with PSE 10

My Camera is in the list a FinePix HS10, I have done all the updates that are available.
I tried doing searches but nothing came up that I could find a solution to this.
When I shoot a raw+jpg of an item with straight lines (edges of a painting) the JPG version has the lens distortion corrected, however the raw does not and shows curves where there should be straight lines. When I go to Camera Calibration screen it shows Process 2010 (current) and Camera profile shows Adobe Standard. There are no additional Camera Profiles listed.
I am at a loss as to what to do to resolve this and have the RAW compensate for the lens distortion and end up like the JPG file. Is my camera supposed to show up in Camera Profiles? This would be horrible if not being able to be corrected so I must be doing something wrong or missed a step.

Elements using the Camera Raw plug-in doesn’t allow for lens-corrections. Since you’ve posted your question in the Elements forum, is that what you’re using? The much more expensive regular Photoshop hosting the camera-raw plug-in and the less-expensive Lightroom do allow selecting lens profile corrections.
The Camera Calibration area you refer to only deals with raw camera profiles for color rendition, not lens profiles that would correct geometric distortion.
A more fundamental question is whether there are actually lens-distortion-correction profiles for a FinePix HS10. Usually Adobe supplies lens profiles for most Canon and Nikon DSLRs although there are a few others for other brands and types of camera, with a Fuji point-and-shoot having less chance of having a lens-profile created by Adobe.
There is an Adobe Lens Profile Downloader tool for getting third-party lens-profiles and checking it just now, it appears there is a raw profile for the FinePix HS10/HS11 built-in lens, but you still need to be using an Adobe product other than Elements to apply such a profile.

LR 5.3 Lens Corrections have disappeared

All of a sudden, nearly all profiles have disappeared. I first noticed this with my Sony RX1, when I went to apply the profile correction, and there was nothing. Usually the program identified the camera automatically.
When I looked at old pictures, it was the same, nearly. If I used "custom" then it would give me only Nikon and/or Sony, but only one lens for each camera, not relevant to what I had used to take the photograph. For some pictures it would recognize the lens, but it would not give me options to change it (if I wanted to).
This is strange behavior.
Is there a setting perhaps that I changed inadvertently?
thanks

Moveable guide lines in Lens Correction

It would be very nice and useful to have adjustable guide lines in the Lens Correction filter. The grid never seems to line up with critical elements that need to be straighten. Moveable guide lines that can be placed right on or next to elements would be a great help. It would also be nice if the dialog box read the exif info to remind you what lens you were using. And a way to record setting for particular lenses that you could add notes to would also be very helpful. thanks jeff

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?

Lens Correction Profiles: Pasting develop settings in bridge yields inconsistent crop

Hello Everyone,
I recently discovered lens correction profiles which have been a real benefit to me in my most recent batch of images shot at 16mm on a Canon 5d MII. The lens distortion isn't always spot on, but it is a huge headstart most of the time.
I bracket photos for HDR and will apply all my crop settings to one image in the bracketed series and afterwards psate the settings onto all the others in the series. This works great.
However, once I started using Lens Correction Profiles, when I paste the crop setting onto the subsequent images, the crop is in a different position. I was completely baffled. But after some fiddling around, I noticed that if I manually open each of the subsequent images, remove the crop, uncheck and recheck the Lens Correction Profile, and reapply the crop, it is consistent with the first. This leads me to believe that somewhere in the Paste Setting sequence, it is doing the crop out of order. (As if it is cropping the image and THEN applying the lens correction--which yeild different results.)
(As a item of note, when I mean cropping, I use the automatic crop obtained by highlighting the entire area of the image after applying lens corrections so as to only crop out the grey areas acquired by shifting the image around while still maintaining aspect ratio.)
Is there any way we can get the pasting to paste so as to make these subsequent images identical to the original image? Or am I missing something?
Relevant Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Bridge 4.0.4.2
Adobe Camera Raw 6.4.0.139
Photoshop 12.0.3 x64
Thanks,
Dave

Normally, when you apply a lens correction profile, there shouldn't be any visible gray areas around the border of the image.
Are you saying this is not the case?
Are you making additional distortion or keystoning adjustments (e.g., in the manual tab)?

Odd Issue Editing in Photoshop with color and lens corrections

First off, I'm on LR 4.4 and PS CS6 (Camera Raw 7.4.0.137) using ProPhoto RGB as my LR colorspace and have my PS color settings as Working Space: ProPhoto RGB and my color management policies to preserve embedded profiles.
When I right click on a DNG in LR and choose "Edit in Photoshop", LR sends it to PS and PS does its "Reading in Camera Raw Format" and opens the image. However, the colors are off (very muted) and any lens corrections I've applied in LR are missing. My monitor (iMac on OSX 10.8) is calibrated with a Spyder. I've also noticed that if I choose to edit in another application, it renders the tiff fine and the color and lens corrections are correct in the tiff.
Anyone have any ideas what my issue is?
Thanks,
Matt
ETA: After some experimenting, it seems that the "Adobe Standard" profile is what gets sent to Photoshop. The rest (Camera Landscape, Portrait, etc.) are ignored. What's going on here?

Sounds like you need to reset your warning dialog. Preferences>General>Prompts [Reset all warning dialogs]
Then try it again and make certain of the three choices you are Editing a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments.

Lens correction help needed: Nikon 14-24 used in model shoot...

Hello,
I just finished a model shoot with 9 models standing in a horizontal line relative to the camera. Because of the very short working distance I had to use a Nikon 14-24mm lens to fit everyone in, resulting in the end girls being noticeably distorted (unpleasantly "wide"). They certainly won't like that!
I've opened the raw file in CR, but have not found settings for lens correction that fix this. CR has the correct lens profile, but no matter how I play with the settings manually or automatically, things just don't look right. Similarly, if I open corresponding TIFF in Filter -> Lens correction, I still run into the same issue.
I've enclosed a sample out-of-the-camera image so you can what I'm talking about. Hoping there's a way to correct the twp outermost girls w/o sacrificing those in the middle... They are much slimmer than in the shot.
Running PS CS 5.5 on Win7/64
Thanks!
Jerry

Hi Toasted
I've seen the adds for the DxO Viewpoint and thought they had a great idea on their hands providing it as a Plug-in. However, I've been using the full DxO Optics Pro as my Raw file editor for a couple of years now, and ran your shot through that, and not the plug-in.
Judging my my results, I think the full version is a more powerful tool; the "Volume Anamorphosis" correction in the full version is a semi-automated tool. Simply applying the correction at the initial automated setting still left me with some distortion in the models at either end, which was especially noticeable in the girl on the extreme right. However, I then manually tweaked the setting to the maximum available, to get the result above.
Now, there's no such thing as a free lunch, and you can't get something for nothing, and the same applies here. What's actually happening is that the Volume Anamorphosis is being "corrected" by re-introducing a set amount of Barrel Distortion into the image, oh, and the image has also been cropped, which is most noticeable in the bodywork of the cars on the left and right, but this is unavoidable. It isn't too obvious here, but if you were to have strong horizontals or verticals in the image, you'd see the curvature in them very easily.
Take a look at my own example below.
This was taken with a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, and in the original the guitarist on the left, and the keyboardist on the right, both had the dreaded "squished head" effect! As you can see that's been fixed, but if you look at the pipes above the lights at the back, the line of the monitor cabinet at the lead singers feet, and the microphone stands, you can plainly see the curves... which is still infinitely preferable to distorted heads!
Good luck
Paul

Lens correction and chromatic fringe - broken in CS5 ?

Hello, chromatic aberration correction has changed since CS3.
It's limited to ONE pixel correction, or what ? It seems i cant get strong cyan/red bands anymore, i used it as an artistic effect and i need it back. Any way to have it behave like before? I'm not interested in manual workflow (moving manually RGB channels), thanks.
Paolo

It definitely seems different between cs3 and cs5.
I don't believe there is a way to get the same effect in cs5's Filter>Lens Correction and it's
not broken just improved i guess.
You might try a pixel bender filter called Convergence (ships with pixel bender plugin) or Color Separation Effect
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=2422 029
You would need to install the pixel bender plugin into photoshop cs5 from the bottom left of this page to use the above filters:
