Lens correction upright some glitches?

i tried this on auto-sync,
but it only works on the
first few, and then the remaining
it would not work at all, even 1x1.
also, i get some kinda sync drag
when i fix one, and then the next
or previous image takes the change,
and then fixing the erroneous one
applies setting to the neighboring
correct image.  This is all in upright.
anyone?

I've never managed to get it to work properly, I use the ruler and my eye.

  • I messed up Lens Correction - photos titled

    Some of my photos are tilted or slanted. I beleive it happened when I was exploring options in LENS CORRECTION-Upright. How do I set this back to REGULAR or default. I can correct each photo (one at a time), but this is very time consuming.  Thanks  Bob

    If you can select a group of photos that have this issue, turn on Auto Sync and click Off in the Lens Correction Upright area, and after the change has propagated to the group, turn off Auto Sync.  That should reset the Upright function for the group of selected photos without affecting anything else with the photos.
    AutoSync is turned on and off by the little switch beside the Sync button in the LR Develop panel.

  • LightRoom Lens Correction ... huge list (of some of which I have never heard!), but still no mention of Zuiko (Olympus) lenses in the drop-down, even in my 4th update: version 5.6. Anyone know why Olympus has been ostracised in this application?

    I am now using a new Nikon, but I still have thousands of images captured with my (very good) Olympus E500, but still frustrated that its lenses do not appear in the drop-down list in the lens correction module ... not even in the latest update, version 5.6

    What camera?  Is it a mirrorless?  Most of those have lens profiles that are built-in and always on so there’s nothing in the list.

  • My Lightroom lens corrections need correcting. Is this normal?

    I have bought myself my 1st DSLR camera (Nikon D3100) as i now want to shoot Raw instead of Jpeg. I've always shot Jpegs in the past with my old cameras. The in-camera Jpegs from my new Nikon don't show any lens distortion. However, when i open the Raw (NEF) files in Lightroom and tick 'enable profile correction' in the Lens corrections section, the distortion correction seems too much and i have to manually adjust it every time.
    The lens profile comes from Lightroom itself (not from other users), & so this doesn't seem quite right to me that the correction is somewhat wrong each time.
    I'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong or that maybe its even normal to have to adjust the correction further yourself each time (and perhaps most users have to do that too)?
    I've included 3 Jpegs of the same image to demonstrate the problem (detailed below):
    1) The export from Lightroom with the lens distortion corrected by Lightroom (note the straight red line).
    2) An exported Jpeg version of the uncorrected Nef from Lightroom  (to show the full original lens distortion)
    3) The original in-camera Jpeg (obviously the distortion corrected by the camera)
    I've  drawn straight red lines on to the images to demonstrate the differences.
    Any ideas?
    ^ above image is a Lightroom exported Jpeg (from NEF) with lens correction ON (note the red line along the top of the roof)
    ^ above image is a Lightroom exported Jpeg (from NEF) with NO lens correction yet, thus showing original distortion.
    ^ above image is the ORIGINAL in-camera JPEG showing no distortion at all (note the red line along the top of the roof).
    P.s i've taken different shots too and the problem is the same for them all (at least at 18mm anyway).
    Additional information:
    The Nikon D3100 has an APS-C sensor (I'm not sure if that's significant or not). Also the lens described in the profile correction matches the one from my camera.

    Hi Paul,
    I'm really not sure exactly what DxO outputs when you choose DNG:
    It's not raw data, yet preserves some ability to do raw things in Lightroom, like white balance and camera profiles.
    I dunno about pulling from highlight/shadow "reserves", but note: it's different than a DNG-wrapped tif or jpeg, it may be able to pull from the highlight/shadow reserves as can be done via the DNG used for smart previews - I just don't know.
    trshaner: do you know for sure that a DxO DNG hard-clips shadows/highlights, or are you just "extrapolating/assuming/educatedly-guessing"?
    Regardless, DxO has some auto shadow/highlight recovery (for those extreme black/white tones) that is quite good - don't sell it short.
    Google 'dxo linear dng highlights.' Here's one that supports what I said:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/663428
    I've tried using Canon's DPP for the same purpose with TIFF output AND with DPP's highlight recovery. I can't get the same highlight recovery with the TIFF as compared to the raw inside LR with PV2012.

    I still think about it when Lr's lens corrections are wonky. But my problem with Lr's lens corrections have more to do with vignetting than distortion (because I mostly shoot nature, not buildings...), and I can add manual correction and/or a dab of paint to the automatic corrections, which saves me the complication of front-ending via DxO. If distortion is your primary concern, consider balancing auto with manual distortion corrections (I've not done much of that, so no guarantee...). Also, there's the upright feature in Lr5...
    What's wrong with simply changing the Lens Profile 'Amount' settings from 100 if a specific lens profiles is "over-correcting" or "under-correcting? Don't forget most zoom lenses have a "complex" moustache shaped distortion, which is NOT easily corrected with LR's Manual Distortion control. You can certainly try both, but there's no way to save the Manual Distortion "correction" setting to a specific lens profile's defaults.

    PPS - DxO's purple fringe tool will get the fringe out without the artifacts of Lr's global defringer, however it may also take away real image color sometimes, and can't be done locally, so one may ultimately get better results in Lr if willing to spend a while painting local defringing.
    I've never seen any artifacts caused by the LR Defringe tools (see image posted of Canon 8-15mm Fisheye lens CA), but you do need to be very careful concerning the actually settings used. After using the eyedropper tool to sample a fringe area I fine tune the settings to eliminate desaturation of areas that have similar color as the fringe area. Once you have the correct settings save it to a Develop preset for manual application. For example with my Canon 8-15mm F4L Fisheye zoom I have two (2) Develop presets of 8-12mm (Purple 2, 30/55) and 13-15mm (Purple 4, 30/55). There is no need to use Local controls with Defringe if you follow my suggestions for manually tuning the settings to prevent desaturation in like colored areas. IMHO the LR CA and Defringe tools are darn near perfect when you use them correctly!

  • 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?

  • 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

    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!

    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

  • Same shooting, multiple lenses, how to apply the appropriate lens correction when importing ?

    Hello everyone,
    How do you handle this:
    For each camera, i have a default preset i'm choosing manualy and applying when importing my raw files into lightroom.
    I'd like to also add some default lens correction to those presets.
    The problem is that multiples lenses (meaning different corrections) may be applied.
    How to apply the correct lens correction for each file, in the batch import ?
    Thanks for your ideas ...
    Aymeric

    Update your existing develop presets so that the Lens Corrections are checked (see attached screen shot). Select the develop preset in Import dialog. Lr will automatically apply the appropriate default lens profile to each individual image during import.

  • Lens (Tamron 18-270) not available in Lens correction menu

    Hi all,
    I only see some lenses to pick from in the lens correction menu. According to a list on the Adobe website, my lens (Tamron 18-270) should be included, but it is not.
    I am using Lightroom 5 on a Win PC and a Sony Alpha 58 camera. Photos made as RAW.
    Any idea where I can find or activate the lens?
    Could it be, that the Sony camera does not write the lens information in the EXIF file so that Lightroom doesn`t know which lens I used? But if so, why can I pick several from different companies (Canon, ...) but not the one from Tamron?
    Best regards,
    Mick

    There are 5 18-270 Tamron lenses listed if you set the Make to Tamron and scroll up in the list to the top using the arrow at the top left of the list.
    There is only one Tamron lens listed, not an 18-270, if you have a non-raw file selected.
    Here is what I see at the top of the Tamron list and I just chose one of the 5 arbitrarily.  I have no idea which of them is right, if any, for your Sony:

  • Lightroom - Lens Correction - Lens Manufactuer unknown

    I have a Canon Rebel XTi and shoot in Raw. I have 3 Tamron lenses - a 10-24, 17-50 and 18-270.
    I thought I'd try out the lens correction profile for my 10-24 for a few pics, but when invoking the option, it was unable to determine the len manufacturer. Though as soon as I selected 'Tamron' it then knew which lens I was using.
    Should my metadata have capture the lens manufactuer?
    Is there something I am missing?
    Given they are all Tamron - can I set some sort of default so I don't have to select Tamron for every picture?
    Thanks!

    If you cannot get the right lens profile assigned using the Set Default method described in earlier posts (for example, if two different lenses that you use are identified exactly the same by LR's reading of the image metadata, so that it cannot distinguish them automatically) then it can be helpful to record the manual assignment of a given lens profile, into a Develop preset for easier application to images in the future.
    To reiterate, it is enough that Lr's lens detection operates as a unique identifier, that can cause the particular correction profile to be used which you have stipulated; the actual lens description does not strictly need to be correct for the lens, in order for this to happen automatically, per image, at import or subsequently.
    So a general Develop preset or default which turns on lens corrections just needs to activate the profile checkbox, and in the Profile: selector, show "Default". Then LR uses whatever it has been told is the right default for each Lens ID encountered, which may derive from its originally installed list, or else from what the user has later assigned.
    A specific preset applying a particular lens profile for cases where auto detection doesn't work, will instead apply this explicitly, set as "Manual".
    For example, I use some older, pre-digital Pentax lenses which have no ID chip, and report to LR as just "A series lens" or else "K or M lens" - because all the camera can do, is detect whether or not these older lenses have an auto aperture. So with those, I can use LR to filter them down by focal length (prime lenses), to help me rapidly apply a Develop preset which picks out the correct profile for each individual lens. The camera asks me for the focal length whenver it detects a legacy-mount lens has been fitted, so that it can correctly apply shake reduction, so that info is at least recorded against each image. But: most of the time, I use only one A series lens and only one M series lens, so I have LR set to "presume" the A/28 profile for the former, and the M/135 profile for the latter, unless told otherwise. I only have to intervene as described in the exceptional case, when I know I have used some other lens sharing the same class of legacy mount.
    The same principles apply when third-party lens makers use ambiguous Lens IDs even for modern chipped lenses, where these codes may span across multiple, different lens models indiscriminately.

  • 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?

  • Micro Four Thirds lens correction and Lightroom

    Obviously LR seems to use some of the lens correction information it gets from Micro Four Thirds cameras. This shows when compared to results from RAW converters that don't.
    I have noticed this for my Olympus OM-D and the 12-50 mm zoom. Is that the reason why there is no lens profile for that lens in Lightroom? And is this the case for all MFT lenses?
