Lens Profile: ACR 8.8 to LR 5.7.1

Dear All,
Adobe has made my year by including a lens profile in Camera Raw 8.8 for the Nikon Ai-S 50mm f/1.2 (thank you Adobe!)
Greedy as ever though, I'd like to be able to use this profile in Lightroom so I do not need to invoke Bridge or Photoshop.
Is there a file I can copy from a to b, or is it built-in and inaccessible?
I imagine it will be included in Lightroom 6 anyway, but of course there are no guarantees and we are all impatient (some more than others, clearly).
Many thanks.

To use a new lens profile provided by ACR 8.8 or the DNG Converter 8.8 (if you don’t have Photoshop) prior to a LR 5.8 or LR 6, you can copy the appropriate lens-specific .lcp file to your users profile area.
The Lens Profile Downloader will only download third party profiles but not ones that are supplied as formal updates so if Adobe has actually provided a profile it’s usually best to use theirs.
On Windows, the profiles that come with ACR and the DNGC are located in the manufacturer subfolder under:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0
You find the appropriate .lcp file and copy it to your user’s profile folder, which on Windows is here:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Downloaded
The default on Windows is to hide the ProgramData and AppData folders in Explorer so you can either change the options to unhide them or just type in the name in the Explorer address area and hit Enter then continue clicking down into the path further.
On a Mac I’m less sure where the ACR and DNGC installers put lens profile files, so I cannot say where to get them from, but if you find them, you can put them this folder that the Lightroom Queen’s indicates:
Macintosh HD / Users / your username / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /

Removing Photoshop Elements 9 caused missing lens profiles in Lightroom 3.3

After my trial on Photoshop Elements 9 expired I removed it from my Windows Vista system. The next time I started Lightroom 3.3 I tried to apply a Canon lens profile to some new images and the profile was missing, not only was it not on the list, none of the 862 images taken with this lens had the profile applyed to them anymore. I tried to repair the installation and it failed saying I was missing components. I then tried to upgrade to RC 3.4 & it failed with the same message. I finally thought it might have been caused by the removal of Photoshop Elements so I went to the restore point that it did prior to removal. Now I have the lens profile back that was missing the Canon EF28-135mm profile as well as to the other 862 images. My question is should there be anything else I should look for to see if it is missing or damaged? Thanks - Larry

Larry,
The common part between LR and PSE is the Camera Raw part (ACR). It's settings are contained in 2 different locations:
1) General ACR configuration files:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw
This directory contains lens and camera profiles installed with LR
2) User related configuration files:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw
This directory usually contains:
Downloaded/created lens profiles
ACR defaults (like ACR cache size, any defaults set in LR)
Downloaded/created camera profiles
You might want to check the content of those 2 locations. One other alternative would be to uninstall and re-install LR, which should take care of the factory supplied profiles.

How do I create an ACR custom lens profile if camera exposure can't be set to manual?

How do I create an ACR custom lens profile if camera exposure can't be set to manual?
I ask this question for the Nokia 808 PureView 41MP camera. It produces stunning image quality but exposure can only be controlled via EV +/- compensation. I need a lens profile to correct for vignetting to get even skies in panorama (which turn out stunningly otherwise). There is no profile for the Nokia 808 PureView I am aware of and I'd like to produce one.
Is the Adobe profile creator able to correct for varying exposure using EXIF or overlapping parts of the chart or background?
Or would the Adobe profile creator ignore EXIF if I use studio flash to enforce a constant lightning situation, even if shutter speed would vary (aperture is constant and ISO can be set constant, just not the shutter speed)?
Or did Adobe produce a profile internally they can share?
Thanks.

If you read the first post, this is the camera-app of a 41MP Nokia Pureview 808 camera-phone, so maybe someone could write a new camera app but the phone is Symbian OS which is dead, making that unlikely.

http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/the-nokia-lumia-820-and-lumia-920-too-little-too-late/
It would probably be easier for Adobe to rewrite the LPC to allow vignetting to be computed from a single shot of a blank wall without a target in the shot, than to have someone rewrite a camera app that allows manual exposure.
Another idea about how to get the phone to keep a constant exposure would be to experiment with putting darker and lighter objects in the field-of-view away from the target area to make the camera metering adjust things so it’s exposure is the same from one shot to the next. This would take some doing but should work, unless the LPC uses the part of the frame that doesn’t contain the checkboard target in its computations.
You’re basically varying the scene around the target so the camera takes the same exposure of the target each time.

ACR 7.1 Beta & Photoshop CS6 Lens Profiles

If I open a Nikon RAW (NEF) file in ACR 7.1 Beta it correctly finds my Camera and Lens Combination Nikon D3 with the Nikon 24-70m f2,8 with the Adobe Lens Profile. However, when I leave ACR and the image is open in Photoshop, go to Filter, Lens Correction it does not automatically detect the correct camera and lens combination.
It shows the Camera Make as NIKON CORPORATION, but the Camera Model and Lens Model are not detected and I am asked to choose. In the Lens Profiles I see two choices, one for a Nikon D3x with the correct lens, the other for a generic Nikon Camera with a Sigma 24-70 F2.8.
I would have thought the detection process would have been the same?
MK

I was just curious and hunting around ACR 7.1 and Photoshop trying our the features. Also I have found that LR4 RC2 has follows ACR 7.1 as far as lens profiles go working with RAW images, so there is some consistency.
Wonder what the difference is between a RAW rendered image in ACR versus a Photoshop rendered image. Given, I could be wrong here, that Lens Correction is based on the optics of the lens, focal length, and the characteristics of the sensor, so would they not be the same in ACR and Photoshop?
I think I need to go check out a lens profiler
Cheers
Mike
There is one reason that I may go back into the Lens Correction Filter and that might be to fine tune some of the persective tools. With a large panorama much easier to see what needs to be done rather than view seperate images, and i have done that in the past. did not come to me until after I had hit the Send Button

After updating to ACR 6.4.1 i've got no new lens profiles

Hi,
i've installes LR3.4.1 and CS5 x64/x86.
Now i've bought a new Fujifilm HS20.
I read that within ACR 6.4(.1) a lens profile for the Fuji HS20 is included.
So i start the update out of CS5.
The update to ACR 6.4.1 runs without errors and completed successfully.
After a restart of my system i tryed to open an HS20 RAW within CS5
and i saw that no new lens profiles were available.
Same within LR3.4.1.
But booth (LR & CS) are knowing ACR 6.4.1.....
CS5 -- Help -- System info
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Rainer

Ok, i think this was my mistake.
I thougt that with the RAW support also a lens profile would come.
But as i've read http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2011/04/lightroom-3-4-and-camera-raw-6-4-now-avail able.html
i understood that RAW support and lens profiles do not come togehter.

Sony: Lens Profile Creator knows the subject distance, ACR does not

When making a lens profile for a Sony alpha DSLR, lens profile creator identifies the focus distance, and processes each distance accordingly. However, when loaded in ACR (or PS lens correction filter), the software does not display the distance. Why can LPC read the subject distance and ACR cannot?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
el_floz wrote:
The Creator, however, determines / calculates the subject distance itself.
Is this a complicated way of saying "God only knows"?
In all seriousness, if one program can calculate a piece of info from a file, so could another. The designers may just not have chosen to dig so deeply into the manufacturer-specific data as to do so. Or, as appears to be the case here, the information is derived from known subject material in the image itself.

Lens Profile for Canon 24-70 2.8 USM II lens in ACR 6.7.1, PS5, Mac?

I use a Mac, PS5, ACR 6.7.1. Recently I bought a Canon 24-70 2.8 USM II lens, but found that there is no such lens profile in the ACR to enable lens correction. How can I download this lens profile?

Which version of mac os x are you using?
If your using a version newer than mac os x 10.6.8 snow leopard, then see if installing the 8.6 dng converter gives you that lens profile in camera raw.

Camera Profiles and Lens Profiles are missing in ACR 8.2.

Yesterday I tried to install a new update for CS CC, but it failed. Then I uninstalled the app completely, and installed it again.
When I opened ACR 8.2 I found out that there were no Camera profiles and LensProfiles (as it used to be before). Instead of usual Camera Profile was Matrix. There were no Lens Profiles in Photoshop Lens Corrections either.
The folder C/.../App Data/Roaming/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfilesDefault was also empty.
I reinstalled the application a couple times with the same result.
How can I fix the problem?
Regards, Yulia

Well, C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Adobe Standard is also completely empty.

Enable Profile (ACR) and Filter Lens Corrections does not recognize Lens

I did several searches and couldn't find this so it may be a new question. I'm running into it in both CS5 (Camera Raw and Filter > Lens Corrections) and Lightroom 3.3 (Develop- Enable Profile). I'm asking here since I figure if I can fix CS5, I'll know what to do in Lightroom.
I have a Canon 1D MK IV. ACR recognizes the camera and processes the raw file. I check updates and everything is current. With Enable Profile checked, some lenses like my 24-105 L are recognized but my 17-35 L seems to be a complete mystery to it. I'm assuming that this is due to a missing profile.
Am I correct in thinking that the process is, download, install and run the Adobe Profile downloader. If I do not find any hits for my lens, I am then in the spot of having to use the profile creator to build one (or go without).?
Are there any other sources for camera / lens profiles that can be imported into the enable profile process?
Once you have a new profile where do you store it? under Users> Owner > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Lens Correction ?
Thanks
Rick

Just to make sure: Have specifically checked to ensure you have the latest Camera Raw update (6.3)? I know you said you checked updates, but it never hurts to do a Help - About Plug-in... in Photoshop and double check.

Where can I find lens correction profiles for EF 17-35 f/2.8L lens using ACR 6.2?

Using Photoshop CS5 Extended on iMac 10.6.4.
I'm working with wedding photos shot by a friend but I cannot find lens correction profiles for Canon EOS 20D or the EF 17-35 f/2.8L lens. When I search online it simply says "No online profiles found". Is there a download for older lens profiles? I checked & I'm using ACR 6.2. I don't have the camera so there's no way to take test photos to create my own profile. But, shouldn't there be a profile available; the camera isn't that old?

Go to DXO Pro and download the 30 day trial. It works very well for lens/body correction, and unlike Adobe, DXO maintains data on the older cameras and lenses. Updates will always have those available. Adobe is a latecomer to this part of the correction process, so as Ian said, no call, no supplier? Out of luck.
http://www.dxo.com/intl/photo
It's fair to note that DXO does not necessarily have a complete line of everything, like my Tamron 28 to 75 isn't available as a module. They do pay attention to demands, or lack therof, that are not mainstream as well. But their offerings are excellent, and the tests, professional.

Lens Profile changes in ACR 6.2 update

Before the update, I had perfectly aligned masks for hundreds of images using the Nikon 18-200mm lens. However, when I now open their Smart Objects, make and change and close, a new distortion correction is being applied, ie. the masks are not longer aligned. This is a major headache and it's not clear how I might go back to the original lens profile. Even if it is worse, I am already invested in it with the masks. Pushing out this change without due notice or way to ensure backward compatibility is a major shortfall. I would be interested to hear how Adobe recommends I proceed? Revert to ACR 6.1 and miss out on all future updates? I highly recommend building legacy profiles into future updates.

What ACR adjustments do you need to do to the image that can only be done in RAW format and cannot be done when ACR is editing a TIF after your initial ACR-conversion? It seems as though you may need to modify your workflow to convert to TIF, and then re-edit that TIF with ACR and use that as the smart object on which to apply your masks. TIFs only have relative WB adjustments, not absolute like RAW files, but if the WB is close you probably don't have to tweak things too much, although you'd want to be careful to create your initial set of TIFs with the same initial WB so you could tweak groups of images similarly with the same relative adjustments.
For Adobe to accommodate what you're wanting they'd need to have the ACR version number where a profile came from as part of its name so ACR can match the specific profile used with old images. I think Adobe messed up when they didn't do this, initially, but perhaps they feel it is still a beta period and don't want too many versions of each profile cluttering things until things have settled down.
You asked, earlier, how to get the old profiles back.
On my Windows Vista/Win7 computers the Adobe-supplied lens profiles for Nikon are duplicated in two different places:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Nikon
C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Nikon
I think additional users-supplied profiles would go to the following place, although I'm not sure because I don't have any user-created lens profiles:
C:\Users\-your-user-name-\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Nikon
The way to get your old profiles back would be:
Find the current Adobe-supplied profiles on your computer and remove them.
Download and install the ACR 6.1 update.
Find the profiles installed with that in the same places you removed the other ones from and save all these 6.1 profiles somewhere else.
Download and install the ACR 6.2 update.
It may be sufficient to copy the old 6.1 version of the profiles for the lenses you use into your user-profile-specific location and those would override whatever Adobe-supplied profiles there are, but I doubt it.
And if not, then what you'd want to do is edit the XML in the LCP files for ACR 6.1 for your lenses that you have already put into your user-profile-specific location and change the name to have the ACR version in it, so when you run LR or ACR, you know which ones are your old profiles and which are the current ones that Adobe has supplied.
The remaining task is to re-assign this relabeled ACR-6.1-specific profile to your underlying images that have smart-objects in them to be able to use your masks with the old correction in place.
Going forward it might be wise to also copy and relabel each profile for your lenses that have been updated...you may have to test things yourself to see if there are any differences.

ACR 6.1 Lens Profile missing for Raw

My D90 18-105 Lens Profile shows up with jpg's in ACR, but not with RAW files. Both 12 bit dng and 8 bit files show up in PS CS5 with the D90 18-105 profile.
How do I get the D90 Lens profile to show up in ACR 6.1 for raw files?
Thanks

ACR won't automatically identify Lens Profile Correction even though lens can be manually selected from drop-down

One of my most-used lenses is the new Canon EF 16-35L f/4.0
It does need lens profile correction; but Adobe Camera Raw isn't automatically loading it, as it does with all my other L lenses.
I can manually pick the lens from the list, so the profile has definitely been loaded, but manual selection takes time, and time is bad for workflow.

If that lens profile is indeed the proper one for your lens, rather than something being slightly different and why ACR isn’t selecting it, then the situation is easy to fix:
When you have a raw photo open that was taken with that lens, then in the Lens Corrections / Profile tab, first choose the proper lens profile, then under Setup, choose Save New Lens Profile Defaults. That should tell ACR you want it to choose that profile whenever it sees the lens the current raw file was taken with.
For this to work your CR defaults for photos opened with that camera need the Lens Corrections / Setup default set to Default and not Auto. Auto will skip the manually-defined defaults and Default won’t.
To set the Camera Raw defaults open a new raw photo that doesn’t have any adjustments, set the Lens / Setup to Default (rather than Custom or Auto) and choose Save New Camera Raw Defaults from the menu that appears after clicking on the small icon at the right of the Lens Corrections title bar.

Lens Profiles Across Camera Models ACR 6.6

ACR 6.6:
In looking at the file structure for ACR lens prifiles I see they are organized by camera model in the file name. I have a Canon 50D but the lens I am thinking of acquiring is in the list for a 5D. Will ACR still pull in this profile? I know that there may be some validation issues in dealing with a full sensor vs. a crop sensor in this case.

ronzie99 wrote:
Will ACR still pull in this profile?
Yes...ignore the camera models as they don't impact the use of the lens profile.

PSE 10 - ACR 6.6 Lens Profiles

I noticed in the structure of the Lens Profiles folders by brands that they were labeled by camera model. I'll be purchasing a lens listed under the earlier Canon EOS 5D model but I am using an EOS 50D. Will ACR find this profile?

I didn't notice the ACR forum where this question was answered basicly the camera model is ignored and only the lens description matters.
