Lens correction in CS5

I installed CS5 on two windows 7 64-bit computers. The first photo I tried needed lens correction. Now I wish I'd kept CS4 on one of the computers because, imo, lens correction has been dumbed down and downgraded in CS5. 'Tis fancier and seems less functional.

Using lens correction in CS5 changes default file settings

When I use lens correction in CS5, it switches the default file format from jpg to pdf.
Now, that is simple enough to change back for a file or two, but it really messes up any worf flow. Batch processing using an action cannot include a simple "save" because due to the change in format it goes to "save as" and then every file would get named as the first one. If I just choose save and close in the batch options, the dialog to change file types opens after every file and it becomes a hassle. Is there a way to deal with this in a better way? Or is this just a matter of the trial version of CS5?

Hi Joel,
Are you talking about the lens correction batch script as invoked from the File>Automate>Lens Correction...? Can you describe your steps to reproduce the bug?
Thanks,
-Simon

2 question about GPU and Lens correction ,cs5

Hi
i have 2 questions about Gpu and lens correction in Cs5
1)Filter->lens correction->search online
i get often and almost every connection time out at the first click on search online , at the second click i get no online profile
is it normal?
2) question is about Gpu
it run faster , but talking about ajustament layer
like saturation or vibrance for example
i found with the gpu on , a light slow refresh compared with gpu off
i have set cache levels 6 ,history 20
i guess are the defaul
well i add a saturation layer and move the saturation slide ,increase o decrease saturation
with Gpu Off , the changes are immedially , i mean i can see in real time the increase o decrease of saturation
with Gpu On it takes a few(very few) time more
again is normal ?
don't be angry , i'm going to buy cs5 and i'm unsecure ... the price make a big role
thanks

For what it's worth, I also see a timeout on the first [ Search Online ] click, after about half a minute delay. Second click turns up results immediately. This happens each time Lens Correction is started, even without restarting Photoshop, and in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Also note that I started with one profile listed by default (though from the wrong camera) for my 40D with 28-135 zoom.
I alsow noticed that I was seeing progress bar activity in the Lens Correction dialog while I was typing this (even though Lens Correction was NOT the active window) every time I hit the 'L' key. Strange.

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:

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..

How can I find Nikon D800 in PS CS5 lens correction filter?

How can I find Nikon D800 in PS CS5 lens correction filter? I have version 12.0.4 and Camera Raw 6.7.0.339.

I see your question and wondered about it.
This is assuming that you know that in addition to the 18-55 issued with D3000's that there are other lenses in which to invest and with which to exploire.....
Using a D800 and CC PS 14.2.1 x64 and latest Camera Raw 8.4.1.200 I opened the lens correction filters.
There are lens correction tools in Raw for which no body selection is offered, just lens types. Which lens are you using?
In CC PS (Upgraded from PS5 or PS6 to CreativeCloud ("CC") PS with nice2 year discount offer from Adobe) there is a separate lens correction filter tool:
Options/settings
Manufacturer: NIKON
Model Options do not include D800 at this time
(Options D3, D300s, D3X, D4, & D700) Only the D300s is a crop frame CCD here as opposed to full frame 3, 4, 700, or our 800s. I would not set the model to any known crop frame (APS-C size CCD)
Searching adobe forums, it appears that camera body specific entries are only added for known problems.
Leaving the model set to Nikon (as opposed to all) allows for selection of specific lenses for a very broad gamut including grails like the OTUS.
I am guessing that there is no identified lens/camera-body specific peculiarity requiring a specific entry for the D800. This is something to watch over time and possibly to ask Adobe Directly.
I am now piqued to know.

Lens correction doesn't work in CS5 Bridge

Lens Correction in Bridge isn't working properly for me.
I ran the Lens Correction tool in Bridge and selected "Match best profile" from the profile section.
The script ran and saved the new files in the proper folder, but didn't produce any lens correction results. I double-checked this by creating a highly distorted lens profile and running the script with that, but it didn't produce any results either. It seems the Lens Correction tool, when accessed through Bridge, isn't working. It does, however, work great when used in Photoshop... just not in Bridge where you can apply it to multiple files.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Judging from the ancient dialog screen, I'd bet that this feature doesn't get used much.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Judging from the ancient dialog screen, I'd bet that this feature doesn't get used much.
Your last remark about popular usage seems to be spot on, never even tried it myself. It seems one of the many needless and bad working options in Bridge that should have been dealt with long time ago but as we all know by now Bridge is neglected by Adobe bean counters and we still are waiting for the miracle...
Tried your route in Bridge CC (selecting a few files in Bridge / menu tools / Photoshop / Lens Correction) and run the scripts.
You are right, the files are saved in a separate 'results' folder with the same filename but nothing has changed other then instead having a locked background layer now the dreadful 'layer 0' assigned (dreadful because I have lots of actions working on the layer called 'background' and they refuse to work on 'layer 0', I have to built in a flatten layer command to change it again to background, but this is slightly Off Topic…)
And indeed, the same files running in PS lens correction filter do have the correct result.
You can't use raw or DNG directly in the Bridge script because the result can only be saved as jpg, png, PSD and Tiff.
Meanwhile you could do the obvious and choose from two options:
- follow the ACR / Raw -DNG route (preferred because at the start of the process) where you can select the raw files in filmstrip mode and with select all choose lens correction in ACR then hit OK or save or open).
- or in case of already converted or saved files create an action (which is nothing more then a recorded script but then very easy) yourself.
Just open 1 file in PS, then create a new action in the action panel with a proper name. It starts recording and will follow your steps. Apply lens correction with the wanted settings, then hit OK, use flatten layer to return to Background instead of Layer 0, hit save as (choose a proper location because all files will be saved here when running the action) and be sure to not touch or change the file name otherwise each new file will overwrite the previous with the same recorded file name, if you leave it untouched it saves the existing file name in a new location. hit close file and then stop the recording of the action.
Select a bunch of files in Bridge, choose menu tools / PS / Batch and select the action you want to apply and hit OK. In case of 100 + files go for coffee, otherwise watch the magic happen…

Why is my new imac i7 (os 10.6.4)crash every time I am in CS5 using filter tool-lens correction?

In the middle of using lens correction tool or noise reduction filter, my new imac crashs, I have lightroom sometimes on, and Firefox brawser with music streming, any ideas why?

Maybe updating might help as you seem to be behind with the OS and don’t even mention Photoshop’s exact version.

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?

Vignette Correction + Lens Correction in Camera Raw / Lightroom

Ok i merge 2 requests for both camera raw and lighroom...
-> Vignette Specific Correction: Using preset for Lenses like Canon DPP Does for Peripherical Illuminance Correction, the vignette tool in lighroom is good but can't adapt to a variable vignette profile of each lens...
+ Ability to user to add them using a png 24 bit or similiar for Lenses not present on the DB (think using old lens, with adaptors, old zeiss without automatic controls that obviously will be not profiled by Canon, Nikon, Sony.. for their bodies)
-> Lens Correction based on Preset... + exif reading like in photoshop cs5 + manual adjustments
thank you

So you use Photomatix to create a 32-bit HDR file and then tone that 32-bit file in ACR? Are the Photomatix 32-bit files that much different than the PS-CC 32-bit files? The Photomatix 32-to-16-bit conversion is quite a bit different and perhaps preferable, but I didn’t realize the 32-bit result file is also that much different. It’s been a while since I’ve tried 32-bit HDRs and even longer since I’ve tried them in Photomatix so things may have changed or I’ve forgotten.
If you are using Photomatix, then you are not using an Adobe raw conversion at all, so Adobe settings and raw lens profiles are not seen and used at the initial raw-conversion stage in Photomatix.
The choices would seem to be that you can use Adobe products to create 16-bit TIFs as an input to Photomatix, or hack an Adobe raw lens profile to be used with non-raw files in ACR, or do your lens profile corrections after you’ve saved your 32-bit HDR image back as a 16-bit one and use the lens corrections area in Photoshop if that is still possible, nowadays.

Lens Correction in Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS4

I just upgraded to Lightroom 3 and make use of the lens correction feature in the develop module. After doing all my
adjustments in develop I click ctrl-E to take the photo into Photoshop so I can tweak Levels. I noticed that the lens correction adjustments do not seem to be recognized by CS4 when the photo opens up.
Do I have to upgrade to CS5 to get the lens correction adjustments in LR3 recognized or am I doing something wrong. Thanks

I am using Lightroom 3.4, x64, and Photoshop CS5 (12.0.3 x64) on Win 7 OS.
I might add that, based upon my situation, limited knowledge & experience, I have a number of images ( aprox 200), taken with the same camera/lens combination, for which I want to take advantage of what seem to me the most useful features of each software package: in this case, the ability of Lightroom to apply common "development", first in lens correction and, later at the end, miscellaneous common settings; but, in the middle rotation & crop unique to each image.
Am I missing something, for I would think my situation not uncommon?

LR4 Beta...another problem with using Lens Correction

Not sure if it's me or the beta. I'm trying to do a lens correction on a file that was edited in CS5. The photos were taken in 2009/10. They are importing as Process 2012.
I'm using the Lens Correction in manual. About 15 seconds after I start using the sliders, my LR stops working and I have to close the program (white outs the screen with the note saying the program has to be closed).
I do know there can be problems with a beat so I wanted to post this problem in case it is a bug in the system.

I have the same probem if I try to push the scale slider down below about 87%. It is quite annoying when it keeps happening on the same photo. It's not something I use a lot but it can be necessary with tall buildings when the correction pushes the top out of the frame.

"Pentax Corporation" vs. "Pentax" for Lens Correction

I have a Pentax camera. Lens correction only displays me a few lenses. I found out that it only displays the lenses for the camera brand "Pentax Corporation" and not for "Pentax" in the raw converter. In "Filters->Lens Correction" I can change it. Is it possible to manually change to the other data set? I have Photoshop CS5.
Thanks for the help

The camera is a Pentax *ist DS. In Camera Raw drop down only PENTAX appears with only the standard lense 18-55 mm. When opening pictures in Photoshop and going to Filter->Lens Correction, there is the choize between camera model "Pentax Corporation" with only that standard lense and then there is "Pentax" with a much more complete collection of lenses.
If I download additional profiles they appear in Filter->Lens Correction but not in the initial Camera Raw.
There is no change between jpg and raw pictures.
How can I tell Camera Raw to take all that lenses? Is there a path set wrong? Maybe the two "libraries" can be combined.
Thank you
