Lens Profile Deleted By DNG Converter

I'm currently having to convert some of my Nikon .nef files into .dng files so that Capture One Pro 8 will read them.
I'm using the Adobe DNG converter 8.7.1
After the conversion the lens profile is no longer readable within Capture One Pro 8.
I assume (probably wrongly) that the lens data is being deleted by the converter?
Ideally I'd like to have Capture One read all of my .nef files but quite a few of them aren't readable due to (I'm informed) them being damaged. Photoshop and Lightroom can read these files but not Capture One!
If I could find something that would repair the .nef files I'd be much happier due to the problems I'm getting with the dng converter.
Thanks for taking the time to read my small rant...

Ok, your second sentence is what I was asking. 
What camera model? 
For DSLRs, PS/ACR and LR use external profiles, so are not actually reading lens profile information from within the raw file, and instead or just reading the lens model information and matching up an external profile with the lens model.
For mirrorless cameras PS/ACR and LR there is a built-in profile (not sure if in the raw or in the software) that PS/ACR and LR applies automatically and this correction cannot be turned off.
I don’t know anything about how C1 works.  Do you know if C1 has external profiles or does it only apply conversions that are actually specified in the raw files, which woudn’t be more DSLRs. 
I guess what I’m asking is about your terminology.  Is what C1 can’t see the lens profile information in mirrorless camera raws (if such information exists in reality, I don’t know) or is what C1 can’t see the lens model information that it would need to determine what lens profile to apply?

  • Lens Profiles created from DNG not always available

    I have created a series of lens profiles for a couple of cameras based on RAW files which were then converted to DNG for the Profile Creator.
    They have been placed where the canned profiles are found, all well and good.   However I notice that in LR3 my custom profiles are not seen when a jpg file is involved although they are available for RAW files.    Strangely both files types have the profiles available under CS5 when either jpg or raw is involved.  Is this normal, or do I have to create fresh set of Profiles created from jpg's, in order to have full functionality in LR3?

    The profile used for JPEG, TIFF, etc must be created from rendered images, not the raws. So, yes you need to convert the raws to JPEG or TIFF then run them through the creator application.
    Lens profiles for raw images will have "(raw)" at end of profile name. The word "raw" will be absent from those created from rendered images.
    CS5 allows you to download both types of lens profile, but they are separate profiles. Camera Raw and Lr3 will only allow you to use profiles ending "(raw)" with raw files whereas the CS5 Lens Correction plug-in erroneously, in my opinion, allows you to use both.

  • How to uninstall Adobe DNG Converter

    Please forgive me if this has already been asked; I tried searching the forums but couldn't find an answer.
    I am on Windows XP SP3 and have installed DNG Converter 5.6.0.148. The installer ran ok but I don't see an uninstall link the Add/Remove Programs.
    Is there some official way of uninstalling it?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately the response from Mr. Hess is incorrect and uninformed.  The DNG Converter installer does install much more than the single executable in the Adobe program folder which Mr. Hess refers to.  If he were to use that single executable on a machine where the DNG Converter was not installed he would quickly find out that it would not work.  It relies on the camera and lens profiles that are installed (on a Windows OS anyway) in Application Data > Adobe > CameraRaw.  That Adobe has created an installer (which installs so many files) without an uninstaller is rather irresponsible (to say the least).  Instructions to manually delete the files and folders installed may vary, given folder naming conventions in various versions of Windows, but on Windows XP deleting Adobe DNG Converter.exe and the CameraRaw folder (as mentioned earlier) would delete all the files that are apparently installed.
    The question was how do you uninstall the DNG converter.  The DNG converter (itself) is a single executable file for which no uninstall program is required to remove.  Even though someone may wish to remove the DNG converter, the profiles that you speak of would probably still want to be retained because they are utilized by Camera Raw and Lightroom if it is installed.  So I did not misspeak.  If someone wants to remove the DNG converter, all they have to do is delete it.

  • GoPro Camera Raw Lens Profile settings not working for image sequence in Photoshop/AE/Premiere CS6

    Hey Everyone,
    I'm in need of assistance in either Photoshop CS6, After Effects CS6, or Premiere Pro CS6.  I just installed the trials after seeing Russell Brown demo the GoPro Lens Profile correction feature in Camera Raw.  Basically what I'm looking to do is make adjustments (in Adobe Camera Raw) to a series of still images (shot with the time-lapse mode on the GoPro) and then either export those stills through Photoshop or Bridge to a temporary movie file that will be imported into a timeline (with other video clips), or import the JPG files (with Camera Raw settings) directly into After Effects or Premiere as an image sequence.  The latter would be preferable as it'd avoid the extra step of having to render the intermediate/temporary movie file.
    Right now, my current workflow for GoPro time-lapses is:
              - use Bridge CS4 to do basic color correction on the still images
              - save those as TIF files
              - run the TIF files through a custom script to have Hugin 2012.0.0 (open source pano stitcher) remove the fisheye distortion
              - open the new TIF image sequence into QuickTime Player 7 (Pro)
              - export the image sequence as a QuickTime movie file
              - import the movie file into Premiere Elements 10 to place on a timeline with other video clips (as Premiere Elements can't handle the sequence(s) of thousands of still images without crashing)
    If I can go directly from Bridge to a timeline, it'd save a lot of processing time (and it'd be much nicer to preview the images in Bridge without the fisheye distortion)!
    I can prepare the GoPro JPG files through Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge CS6, though when I go to import the JPEG image sequence into Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6, none of the Camera Raw settings are applied.  If I export the Camera Raw files in Bridge CS6 as DNG files (a step I'd really prefer to avoid) and then import the DNG image sequence into After Effects CS6, the Camera Raw settings are applied except for the Lens Profile settings -- I can pick other cameras but not the GoPro lens profiles when the DNG image sequence loads in After Effects.  It also appears that once I open the DNG files in After Effects CS6, I can no longer access the GoPro Lens Profile in Adobe Bridge CS6 -- the list changes to the same list I get in After Effects.  Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't let me import the DNG files at all.  I've also tried to import the JPG files (as well as the converted DNG files) into an image sequence in Photoshop CS6, though it doesn't allow me to do so (the Image Sequence checkbox is grayed out after I apply the Camera Raw settings in Bridge).
    There could be an issue going on with different Camera Raw versions.  I didn't have Premiere Pro CS6 installed during my initial testing, though now do notice that the Camera Raw dialog in Bridge CS6 only lets me choose compatibility up to "Camera Raw 7.1 and later" when I choose to export the files as DNG.  I thought Camera Raw 8.2 was an option there a couple days ago when I only had installed Photoshop CS6 and After Effects CS6 (though am not 100% certain).
    Please let me know if there is some workaround to get the GoPro lens profile Camera Raw corrections applied in an image sequence in one of the Adobe CS6 products (without having to export the files as temporary TIF or JPG files out of Camera Raw).  I'd greatly prefer to shorten my current workflow for these files.  (I just updated the CS6 trials and have tested all three programs again though I still get the same results described above.)
    Does Lightroom 5 have any option to export Camera Raw image sequences as movie files (or any other feature that might help in simplifying my current workflow)?  I can't install the trial right now as it's not compatible with OS X 10.6.8.  I'd consider upgrading OS X if I knew Lightroom 5 would do what I need, though am waiting for any potential color profile issues to be resolved in OS X 10.9.
    I can open the image sequence in Photoshop CS6 if no Camera Raw settings are applied and then use the Lens Correction Filter to apply the GoPro Lens Profile settings, though I really prefer the Camera Raw interface in Bridge for tweaking image settings.  As soon as I apply Camera Raw settings to the first image, Photoshop CS6 grays out the image sequence checkbox.
    If there isn't a way to take Camera Raw files straight from Adobe Bridge to a timeline, I may stick with my current workflow using CS4 and see what I can do to better automate some of the steps as the TIF export in Bridge, fisheye distortion removal in Hugin, and render in QuickTime Player all take quite a while.  I won't mind waiting for all the processing if I can set it and check back on it in later the next day when it's fully complete.  Is there a way to have Adobe ExtendScript execute an external shell command (i.e.: a command I could type into the bash shell in Terminal in OS X)?  If not, is there a way to call/run an ExtendScript script from the command line and pass a parameter to it that my custom script could use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

  • Lens profile question

    I've done a lot of field work with a Canon G9, and it would be extremely helpful to have a lens profile, but I operate the camera remotely, and in this mode, it only shoots jpegs. I have 3 questions:
    1) Is there a G9 lens profile for jpeg?
    2) Is it possible to convert my jpegs to RAW?
    3) Would it be possible to use an existing G9 lens profile (RAW) on images converted from jpeg, or would that be futile?

    You can do number 3 (convert a raw profile to JPEG) with usually okay results, and I've posted how to do that on numerous occasions.
    Change all the lines that look like:
    <stCamera:CameraRawProfile>True</stCamera:CameraRawProfile>
    to False (preferably in a new file).

  • DNG converter converts RAW  Adobe RGB color profile to ProPhoto ??

    I have a Canon 5D2.  there is an internal switch to shoot RAW files using the Adobe RGB  profile.  when I open a RAW image in CS4, there is no problem.  yet when I open the DNG converted image in CS4, CS4 tells me the image has the ProPhoto color profile.  I can convert back to Adobe RGB, but it adds an extra step and (I think probably) loses information.  I looked for a switch in the DNG converter to speciy the color profile of the converted image, but could not find it.  Any suggestions ?

    Hi, Tom.
    The real issue here is getting accurate color. You can't get accurate color by setting your monitor profile to sRGB. sRGB is a virtual color space that doesn't describe the exact color gamut of any physical device. But, in order to display sRGB or any color space accurately, you need to get a characterization of your monitor.
    Here is an AWESOME way to get access to a colorimeter: http://www.lensrentals.com/rent/pantone-huey-colorimeter Looks like for $32 you can rent this for a week. Go in on this with a friend and profile both of your monitors and hardly pay a thing. If you have a reasonably good quality LCD monitor, this custom profile you make will be fairly accurate for many months. At the very least, this is way more accurate than having no regular calibration at all.
    Hope this helps!

  • DNG Converter 5.5 RC misidentifies Olympus E-P1 17mm lens

    After using the DNG Converter 5.5 release candidate on Mac OS X to convert .ORF files from an Olympus E-P1 and the 17mm fixed focal length lens, I get the following erroneous lens description in the metadata of Lightroom once the DNG files are imported: "17.0-16657.0mm f/2.8"
    Alas, I'm not getting that kind of zoom range out of this particular lens.
    Anybody else seeing this? I don't have a problem with the 14-42mm zoom.

  • DNG Converter 5.2 and Camera Profiles

    Hi!
    I tried to search for an answer but did not find any.
    Question - how and when DNG Converter will use Camera Profiles?
    How do I specify which profile to use?
    I assume it can use them - version 5.2 comes bundled with them...
    Тhanks for the help!
    P.S. Since new version has installer, I'd suggest to create uninstaller too.

    >This somehow implies that DNG Converter reads settings from installed Lightroom. I'm not sure that this is the case - DNG Converter seems to be completely independent product.
    Yes, it does...for the camera model, if you have modified the Camera Raw Default in either Lightroom or Camera Raw then DNG Converter will use the user specified default. If there is no user set default, then of course will use the regular Camera Raw Defaultwhich in the case of 5.2 is now Adobe Standard. (I can't remember what version of DNG Converter started reading the CR prefs).
    >If I give DNG file to someone, who uses DNG-compatible program (other than Adobe's), do I have to give him all profiles as well?
    If you are using a "custom" profile other than Adobe Standard, the behavior is to embed that profile in the DNG so it is self describing. The only complicating factor is what version of Camera Raw/Lightroom the recipient is using. If they are using a version prior to Lightroom 2 or Camera Raw 4.5, then those older versions ignore the embedded profiles and will use the earlier simple profiles that have been used since DNG/ACR was introduced.
    As for checking on updating the DNG Profiles in the future, DNG Converter, as it's rev'ed, will include any new profiles that come out and will update them for any already installed and add any new profiles available for a given camera. The odds of updating existing DNG Profiles is not largethat's what the 2 beta rounds was for, to shake them out. But it's possible. It's more likely that profiles for new cameras will be added.

  • Profiles are gone with Camera Raw 6.7 beta and DNG-Converter

    Hello,
    when i open a picture taken with the new Nikon D800 neither LR nor PS show the profiles i can see with the pictures taken from the D700. This also doesn't work when i convert them to dng with the beta version 6.7 of the dng-converter.
    My workflow uses the x-rite colorchecker to generate profiles. It wouldn't be nice if this will not work any more.
    Andreas
    new picture                                                      old picture (no changes in program configuration)

    Thanks to all answerers,
    i think in my first try i did something wrong (didn't check wheter the file was actually created in ..\roaming\adobe\cameraraw\profiles).
    The rest was confusing about the camera dependency of the profiles.
    Everything works fine now.
    Thanks again

  • 'Adobe Lens Profile Creator, SONY-SRF-Files in DNG konvertieren leider nicht möglich'

    Hallo
    Nach einigen Tagen und vielen Versuchen habe ich nun festgestellt, dass SONY SRF-Files von älteren Kameras, wie z.B DSC-F828 (Sony Raw-Datei) mit keinem der von Adobe angebotenen Programme sauber in benutzbare DNG-Files für den "Adobe Lens Profile Creator" konveriert werden können. 
    Weder Adobe DNG-Konverter, Lightroom oder Camera RAW sind in der Lage die SRF-Files zu konvertieren.
    Deshalb die Fehlermeldung im Adobe Lens Profile Creator: "Detect corners failed because file reading errors occurred"
    Damit ich ganz sicher diese Aussage machen kann, habe ich ein Probeset mit meiner Nikon-D90 fotografiert und die Raw-Files der Nikon im Adobe DNG-Konverter in DNG´s konveriert. Danach war es möglich ein neues Objektivprofil im Adobe Lens Profil Creator zu erstellen.
    Resume: Entweder taugen die SONY-SRF-Files nichts, oder diese SFR-Files können von Adobe Programmen nicht richtig interpretiert werden.
    Vielleicht hat ja jemand noch eine Idee dazu, wie man die SONY-RAW-Files von älteren Cybershots doch noch in brauchbare DNG´s konvertieren kann.
    Würde mich wirklich über Angregungen freuen.

  • Help!  Fuji S5 Pro DNG's don't work with lens profile creator

    I wondered if anyone could help me sort this out.  I've shot a series of test images with my Fuji S5 Pro in Raw + Jpeg format.  I converted the Raw files to DNG format using Adobe DNG converter (camera raw 5.4 later, jpeg preview medium, with and without original raw embedded).  When I run the jpegs through the software everything works fine.  When I run the DNG's through, however, I am unable to select geometric correction as an option, and the grid detection does not work.  The grid always appears shifted 50% down and about 25% to the right.  I'm wondering if this could be a function of Fuji's unique sensor.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, Mark

  • Correct Lens Profile Not Available for Exported/Imported Image Files

    Any help with this would be appreciated.  I just noticed yesterday that when I have RAW (DNG) files in my LR5.2 library, I can select the correct lens profile to apply.  When I take three of those files and merge them together in Photomatix Pro they come back as a single TIFF file.  Now LR only has one lens profile available, and it is the wrong one.
    This is happening with my Sony NEX-7 and Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR DI-III VC.  With the RAW files, I have a list of Tamron lenses from which to choose, and the correct one is available.  For the merged TIFF file, however, only a single Tamron lens is available for selection, and it is not the lens I used.
    If anyone has any ideas about this and can get me past it, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    ~Steve

    Here's my workflow for this particular situation:  After importing the original RAW files, I apply lens correction using the correct profile.  I export to another application that creates a new (TIFF) file that comes back into LR.  Even though I already applied the correction to the original files, I can see that there is a difference in distortion between the original files and the new TIFF.
    If your other application is opening the Raw file directly, it will likely be disregarding either most, or all, Lightroom adjustments even if they are somehow communicated to it. It will come down to whatever independent Raw support is built into the other application.
    The other application would still need to (a) "understand" about Adobe lens profiles etc, (b) "know" where to find the appropriate Adobe profile on disk, and (c) be equipped to do the specific and proprietary processing that they refer to. The same applies for all the other Adobe-proprietary processing instructions. The only software I am aware of which can do all this reliably, in partnership with LR, is Adobe Camera Raw plus Photoshop.
    I've trained myself that whenever a new file is created in an application outside of LR (including PS), I always re-apply lens correction upon first returning to LR.  If I'm interpreting   the above responses correctly, I shouldn't need to re-apply lens correction if I applied it to the original files.  But again, it's not my observation that this is the case.
    If your particular workflow is failing to reflect the first application of lens corrections (as well as perhaps, other specific adjustments) - then what returns to LR will not have undergone those kinds of corrections yet.
    I'm also hearing that I may need to download a lens profile for this lens for a TIFF file format.  I've never needed to do that before, so perhaps I'll give that a shot.
    As I understand it, Photomatix can also accept converted TIFFs or JPGs from LR - instead of Raw fles. I am skeptical that you will realise any "clear water" advantage from sending Raws rather than TIFF (or even, high quality JPG in many cases) from LR into Photomatix  - assuming the LR conversion is already optimising the images for the required purpose. You would be doing that step in an interactive environment rather than blindly via a generic converter. Such intermediate bitmaps are in my experience perfectly good candidates for HDR processing, or for exposure fusion (which I prefer - though I don't use Photomatix in particular).
    Any workflow which causes LR to in effect Export suitable bitmaps that incorporate all current adjustments, will embody lens corrections as part of that. By the way, the workflow into Photoshop HDR is similarly done by way of converted bitmaps - though in that case it is ACR rather than LR which achieves these converted bitmaps, and into memory rather than into separately saved files, but the outcome is effectively the same.
    The only downside is the "cleanup" is to get rid of intermediate TIFFS or JPGs afterwards. I usually put the completed "merged" image at the top of a "stack" containing the component exposures, and collapse the stack down. But the (disposable) intermediates don't get imported to LR, and by setting these to occur in a subfolder or with a distinctive name suffix, they are easily found and deleted in due course.

  • Lens Profile Support LR5

    Lens profiles not showing up in LR 5.
    Working on a Mac 10.7.5, Photoshop CS6, and Camera Raw 8.3 installed. In Lightroom 4, my Canon 6D camera was supported, all lens profiles appearing in LR, was able to choose my Tamron 28-200 mm profile for raw images. Have installed LR 5 and no profiles are coming up. The profiles all appear in: Mac/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Camera Raw/Lens Profiles, on my system, but I cannot seem to get them to appear in LR 5 so I can choose my lens for "Enable Lens Correction" option.
    Have opened a raw file in PH 6, Lens correction, my correct lens is appearing, but says it cannot be found online.
    Any ideas or suggestions, thanks

    Do you have the latest camera raw installed for Photoshop? If so, you can find the profiles in /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Nikon/ . Lightroom should recognize them if you move them into your home directory's Library folder in the exact same folder structure (but in the Library folder in your home directory). This is assuming you are using Mac OS X. No clue where these files would be on Windows. If you don't have Photoshop, you can install Camera Raw using the combined installer with DNG converter which is a free download from Adobe. This should (I think) give you the profiles in that exact location without owning Photoshop.

Maybe you are looking for
