Lens Correction undoes changes

The lens correction panel comes after most of the raw adjustments, but after making changes, if you click on "Enable Profile Corrections", it seems to toggle off previous changes. This doesn't seem intuitive. Am I missing something here? Is there a warning about this?

Interesting. It's quite noticeable here. I just went onto my new MacBook Air, where I freshed installed LR 3.2 RC1. I made an exposure change and a brightness change. Clicking on "Enable Profile Correcrtion" noticeably changed the exposure / brightness. I didn't alter other sliders on this test image, but I think they too are affected. I could provide before after examples if you like.

Lens correction

I used to have a long list of lens for my Nikon in Lightroom. Now I suddenly am back to a list of about 8. I am up to date on LR. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Shirley

If you have changed file format e.g. jpeg/tiff, raw / dng, the choice of lens models available as possible lens correction profiles changes. Could this be the explanation? See http://forums.adobe.com/message/3196109#3196109
Why is a different question.

Lens correction filter doest work after hardware change

Hello,
Since I reinstalled my computer from scratch after a hardware change (went from AMD GPU to an NVIDIA GPU) lens correction filter doesn't work anymore.
I can open the tool, do the corrections but when I pusch apply, the tool is closed but the corrections are not applied to the picture in the editor screen.
No layer is added.
When I close PSE multiple temp files are left in the root directory of my secundary drives.
This happened with PSE 7 so I bougth PSE 9, de-installed PSE 7 and installed PSE 9. Guess what: same problem, no corrections applied.
Is this Nvidia related since everything worked nice in PSE 7 with amd catalyst drivers ?
I'm running Vista32 sp2, with latest directx and latest nvidia geforce drivers.

1) The problem with the Delete Cropped Pixels option is that it essentially eliminates the nicest functionality of the new crop tool.....My suggestion to Adobe would be to enable some way of having the screen view imported into the lens correction filter but leaving the cropped information intact for future adjustments once the image was returned to the main PS window....
2) The Camera RAW preferences setting adjustment was what I needed, thank you!
3) The problem with the saving to PSD option, is that even when I do NOT have layers, it seems to default to saving as PSD. Essentially, any adustment I make, except the most basic, even if I do not have any layers as a result, gets interpreted as needing to be saved as a PSD. This is categorically different than in all prior editions of Photoshop. (For instance, whenever I worked on JPGs and I would save a file on older versions, it would simply default to JPG unless I actually had visible layers in the layers window. On this one, if I do anything like content-aware fill, or use the patch tool or healing brushes, it then saves to PSD by default, even though there are NO visible layers that need flattening. It seems as if the program is interpreting those kinds of adjustments internally as layers and selecting PSD as the necessary file type to save to as a result.)
Thanks for your help; if you have any other suggestions for work arounds for the third problem, I would greatly appreciate them.

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

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.

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.

How to Save Camera Calibration and Lens Correction in Camera raw 6.1

I downloaded and installed the Camera Raw 6.1 release candidate. I open an image and set the camera calibration and the lens correction to auto for Nikon. I save these settings as new Camera raw defaults, but when I open other images, the changes were not made. How can I save these items as defaults?
Swila

Swila, were your "other images" previously edited in Camera Raw? I.e., do they already have saved image settings? The defaults that you save via the flyout menu will only apply to new images, or if you reset an existing image to the defaults. (e.g., choose "Camera Raw Defaults" from the flyout menu).

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.

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?

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 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:

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?

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 Corrections in Lightroom 4

Can 'Enable Profile Corrections' in Lens Corrections be checked as a default?

Yep, no problem.
Select a photo in Develop module.
It’s a good idea to press Reset, so that you only change the defaults that you intend to.
Check the Enable Lens Corrections, and any other settings you want as default.
Go to Develop menu > Set Default Settings.
Press Update to Current Settings.
Repeat with a sample photo from each camera you use (and raw and JPEG, if you shoot both formats)
That will then apply to any new photos (of that format) you import from that camera, and any photos that you hit Reset.

Lightroom 5 and Lens Correction-issue

Hi, sometimes in LR4 I used the lens correction. Most pictures nowadays I take with an old NIkon 24-85:2.8-4 lens. When I tick lens correction and choose as manufacturer Nikon it automatically gave me the Nikon 24-85:3.5-4.5 (as the 2.8-4-version is not present), but usable. In LR5 it always gives me a Nikon Coolpix-lens and I have to manually change it. Quite annoying.

LR has not automatically assigned that lens profile, since it does not exactly correspond.
But it's no biggie...after manually selecting a particular lens profile, you can set that as a user default to be used in future (for any other pictures that report the same lens data as the current active image does).
It's an option in the drop-down menu within the lens profile panel.
Your LR default settings or import preset affecting these future imported images, will just need to ensure that Profile is active, and that the selection of profile is set to Default (instead of Manual) within this same drop-down menu.
Hereafter, LR will adopt whatever profile is the factory default or (as an override) is the user selected default, or (failing both) no profile at all, for each image imported.
