Lens Profiles in Lightroom 3

I've created a lens profile for the Olympus E-P2 M.9-18mm F4.0-5.6 lens using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator. I used RAW files converted to DNG. However, I cannot figure out where to put the profile so that Lightroom recognizes it. Initially, I saved the profile to the default location chosen by the Profile Creator, but this didn't work, though Photoshop finds it with no difficulty. Can anyone help?

I'm using Windows 7 64x so I can't comment on a Mac but suspect the same applies. Two downloaded profiles were stored in a default user location - the same place that Lens Profile Creator would file it but the default location for Lightroom profiles was the shared profiles location.  I simply copied the only two profiles across from user location to the shared location After a relaunch Lightroom placed them at the bottom of my list.

  • Adding a lens profile to Lightroom 3?

    How do add a lens profile to Lightroom 3. (specifically a Canon 16-35 f4 LIS).  Thanks.

  • Import lens profile into Lightroom 4.3

    Hi,
    As my camera is fairly "old", lightroom does not have a lens correction profile for it. I have created a lens correction profile with Adobe Lens Profile Creator. Now how can I import this profile in Lightroom?
    Thanks

    Are you are on a Mac?  I am on Windows and the locations for the profiles given above are for Windows, not a Mac.
    With LR 4.3, you cannot put the user profiles into the folder with the Adobe profiles.  I can't tell you how things work on a Mac nor exactly where they should go without Googling where user profiles go on a Mac.
    I can say that I put the profile you supplied into this exact folder on my Windows 7 computer and it worked right off, as soon as I enabled lens profile corrections for the JPG:
    C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Downloaded
    as evidenced by the righthand panel in this screenshot:
    However, as you can see with the before and after portion of the screenshot, there appears to be something wrong with at least the vignetting correction, because the corners are over-lightened, and almost the entire image is much brighter with the lens profile applied.  I've never created a lens profile to know if what I'm seeing is due to a common mistake when creating profiles such as uneven lighting, or if perhaps the profile doesn't have enough different focal-length combinations so it is applying a correction for a completely different position of the lens and overlightening.  Or perhaps the vignetting has already been corrected in the JPG that was supplied so now it is being double-corrected by applying the profile, again.

  • 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 to use lens profile from Lightroom 5 in Lightroom 4

    I'm using Lightroom 4.4 on a five-year-old iMac.  I haven't been able to upgrade to LR 5 because it requires an operating system upgrade, but the technicians at the Apple Store say my machine is too old for the upgrade.  I just bought a new Sony 18-105 lens which requires siginificant software lens correction.  It has been included in the latest ACR in LR 5, but not LR 4.  Is there any way I can locate and load the lens profile for just this one lens in my LR4?  I've looked and there is no profile in the Adobe Porfile Downloader I can use.

    Zenfolio purposely disables saving of images from the gallery, so requires some deviousness to get to a smallish version of the underlying JPG image, here:
    http://fiegenschuhphotography.zenfolio.com/cdn/pub/uf9epzjb9ekl/0/null/mk/2ho0rvxl_mbq61ne tqcu/s2/v61/p207717972-3.jpg
    Figgie123, can you provide an original-sized raw file to test with?  Upload it to somewhere like www.dropbox.com then post the public download link, here. The file on Zenfolio is small, difficult to even download, and isn't what you're working with when the lens profiles are not working for you.  The idea is to repeat what you're doing to see if we have the same issues.
    Here is what applying a Sony E PZ 18-105 F4 G OSS profile looks like in Photoshop Lens Corrections and I don't really see any change compared with the Zenfolio image:

  • Photoshop Lens profiles in Lightroom?

    There are so many more lens profiles in Photoshop, including one I need that is not in Lightroom. Is there a way to use or access those photoshop profiles without having to export or edit in photoshop?
    thanks in advance,
    J

    If your camera supports RAW file format output (.raw, .crw, .cr2, .nef, etc.), you may be better served by using it. The benefits in LR to using RAW files go far beyond more available lens profiles. Here's a 'short and sweet' example:
    http://www.prophotoshow.net/2010/04/30/jpeg-vs-raw-example-conclusion/
    Since you are already using LR (RAW image processing application) the only benefits of shooting JPEG are:
    1) You can fit more pictures on your memory card. Pricing today is dirt cheap and will only come down!
    2) You can shoot more pictures in "continuous" before your camera's memory buffer fills up and slows down shooting. So for those few occasions go ahead and shoot JPEG, but be aware of the limitations you will have later when processing the images in LR.
    3) JPEGs take up less space on my primary and backup hard drive(s). Again, hard drives are dirt cheap and will only come down in price.
    In addition Adobe and other digital editing software developers keep improving their application's RAW file processing capabilities. So by saving your images in RAW file format you can benefit from these improvements in the future. The differences between LR 1.0 and 3.3 RAW processing are remarkable!
    It's obvious you are serious about photography. If your camera doesn't support RAW file format output, you should consider one on your next camera purchase.

  • Help with importing lens profile to Lightroom 5.4 for Windows

    Hi,
    I'm running Adoble Lightroom 5.4 on Windows. I recently bought a Rokinon 14mm lens for Canon and have a couple lens profiles that I want to try out. I have already tried importing to the two following locations below and nothing showed up when I restarted Lightroom. Any solutions?@@
    C: > Users > User > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > CameraRaw > LensProfiles > 1.0 > Then I created a folder called Downloaded > Then I created another folder inside the folder Downloaded called Rokinon and dropped the lens profiles in there.
    Here is the other one I tried:
    C: > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.4 > Resources > LensProfiles > 1.0 > Then I created a folder called called Rokinon and dropped the lens profiles in there.

    Something is weird about this lens profile file.  It appears to be for a Canon 85mm lens, not a Samyang 14mm lens, and, as you say, this profile is for JPG files not RAW files.  If you want it to apply to raw files you need to change the CameraRawProfile from False to True.
    After changing the False to True, because the Make is set to Canon you have to go to the Canon lens list not the Samyang list in the Lens Profile selection dropdown list, or edit the Make to have Samyang..
    Because there is an 85 for several focal-length numbers, not 14, I think the correction being applied may be totally wrong.   Where did you get this lens profile file? The other profile file you sent has 50mm in some focal-length areas and 85 in others.
    To be able to tell if this, or the other profile, is reasonable, you probably need to take a picture of something with a grid of lines, like a brick wall and see if there is barrel or pincushion distortion that is corrected or worsened.
    Here is a screencapture of the file as it looks in a text editor with notes about what seems wrong:

  • Adding a Lens Profile to lightroom from Adobe lens profile creator

    Hi, I just made a lens profile from the lens profile creator for my Canon 80-200 2.8L. I then added the profile to the 1.0 folder that holds all the other lens profiles. However, lightroom does not list to profile as an option in the lens profiles. Is there something else that I need to do?

    While the more recent PDF link still works, the “Lightroom Queen” has done some recent website maintenance and the URL for default locations of files is different:
    http://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/lightroom-5-default-locations/
    Obviously the link I provided had my username “Steve” in it and you’d be substituting your username, instead.  Also the AppData folder is hidden so you have to either enable viewing hidden folders in Explorer or just type it into the Explorer address bar and hit Enter.
    The other issue you might have, which was already talked about in the preceding discussion, is that camera profiles are specific to raw or non-raw formats and if what is in your DNG is a JPG then perhaps it wouldn’t work.
    Would you mind providing the DNG and the associated camera profile via a website like dropbox.com and if you have it, the original file that was wrapped up as a DNG?

  • Canon 8-15mm f4 lens profile in lightroom 5 is not there

    Does anyone know what lens profile to use for the Canon 8-15mm f4 fisheye in lightroom 5

    I have the Canon EF 8-15mm fisheye lens and use it on both the 5D MKII full-frame and 600D 1.6 crop bodies. This lens exhibits very little vignetting at all focal lengths on either body and of course exhibits 100% distortion.
    The biggest issue with this lens is lateral and axial chromatic aberration. Selecting 'Remove Chromatic Aberration' does a good job of removing the lateral CA, but there is still significant axial CA present. To correct the axial CA I use the Defringe tool. Using too high of a Defringe setting can desaturate like colors (i.e. purple) in the actual image, but the following Defringe settings work well with virtually all images without any significant desaturation:
    Full-Frame, 1.6 & 1.3 Crop Body
    8-12mm: Amount = 2, Purple Hue = 30/55
    13-15mm: Amount = 4, Purple Hue = 30/55
    If you are trying to rectilinear correct your images so they don't exhibit fisheye distortion the Canon 7D lens profile for the 8-15mm  available in the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader will do that for both full-frame and 1.6 crop bodies. Unfortunately there is significant softness in the outer area of the image. It also does a fairly good job of correcting the small amount of vignetting on both bodies.
    I also use the PS Adaptive Wide Angle filter and Fisheye Hemi plugin with much better performance concerning sharpness, but without full distortion correction. For landscape work the image looks virtually 100% rectilinear.
    You can read my review of this lens on Amazon for more details on the LR settings I use:

  • Can't find lens profiles on lightroom anymore...

    So the other day I went to go set lens corrections on a picture in lightroom 3 (windows 7 64 bit version) and all the lens profiles were gone, except one for the apple iphone, which is no help to me. I don't know what happened. please help?
    Also, I've been having issues importing photos, I keep ending up with 3 copies of each picture.
    Not to mention LR keeps freezing up...

    Do you mean you can only see Apple in the Make box after you enable Camera Profiles, or are other camera/lens manufacturers also listed and Apple is just the first one, with 3 iPhone model options?
    If Apple is your only Make choice, then you can check to see if the profile folders and files still exist on Windows 7, since it's possible all the Adobe ones are gone or inaccessible due to some security issue, and only a custom-downloaded one is shown. 
    The Adobe-installed profiles are in two places:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw
    C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\CameraRaw
    And any user-installed profiles go under:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw
    The AppData and ProgramData folders in the above paths are hidden or system so they won't necessarily show up in Explorer clicking down from the root of the C: drive, unless you have changed your folder options to show hidden and system files, but you can type in the path in the address bar of Explorer and get to the folders even if they are hidden.
    Selecting Auto will try to find the right camera profile based on the EXIF information in the photo, but you should be able to choose Custom and select any manufacturer.  The profiles are specific for either RAW or JPG files, though.

  • Missing Canon lens profile into lightroom

    Hi Guys
    I have LR4.1 and I just realized that I am missing the one for my 100-400 f4,5/5,6
    any idea how can I get it ?
    Many thanks
    have a super day, Thierry

    It is possible to save a duplicate of the lens profile file, and "kludge" it from Raw to non-Raw using a text editor. This generally works well enough; much better than manual corrections alone - provided that the camera is not also applying lens correction, and so confusing matters.

  • Canon 60D w/ EF-S 15-85 IS USM missing lens profile in Lightroom 4

    This is a Canon kit combination and it seems odd that it's not included in the Canon profile for lens correction.  The EF-S 10-22 IS USM is there which is not a kit lens and quite expensive.  Am I missing a step or do I have to download additional lenses from Adobe?  I'd rather not get into downloading someone's guess from the profile creator if I can avoid it.

    It is included, but it's a raw-only profile.
    There are also two on the downloader, one of which I produced.  It has nothing to do with guessing.

  • SONY RX100M3 LIGHTROOM 5.5 LENS PROFILE

    Hello team, does anyone know how to obtain the Sony RX100M3 lens profile for Lightroom 5.5? I have been scouring the Internet for a solution but have not been able to find anything yet. There must be a way - would really appreciate your help with this! Thanks in advance.

    rogerking wrote:
    Hi there... Is this verified?  I believed that camera profiles were simply colour profiles that allowed development of the RAW files.  I have not been able to find information anywhere that suggests that the profile contains an automatic lens correction.  There wasn't one for the RX100 or m2.  I created ones for it using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator and it seems to work fine.  I use Autopana to make panoramas and stretching the output from Lightroom without an additional lens profile for any RX100 proves very difficult which suggests there is still significant distortion.  After correction using my created profile they stitch fine, though this may be a fluke.
    Not sure if I can upload lens profiles here, but I would be happy to share both the RX100/RX100m2 and the RX100m3 profile.  The RX100/m2 one is available from the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader, but despite me uploading the m3 profile, it has not yet appeared on the profile list in the tool. Perhaps that *does* imply that none is needed, but it would be nice if they'd let me know...
    Hi,
    It is totally unnecessary to have a separate lens profile as if you see my reply from Jul 28, 2014 12:48 PM the lens adjustments are included in the default profile as Sony provide the correction information in the RAW file.
    To test it open the RAW file with another RAW processor that doesn't have lens correction capabilities and you will see the difference.
    If you notice when you open in ACR or Lightroom where it says "Enable Profile Corrections" it says "Default" as it is supplied by Sony and it is not a removable lens camera.
    The corrections are applied no matter what.

  • Looking for lightroom lens profile for tamron lens

    I am using lightroom 5 at work and shot some images with a canon 5d2 body with tamron 24-70 2.8 vc and tamron 70-200 2.8 vc lense.

    The ProgramData folders are for Photoshop and are probably as old as the newest version of PS or DNG Converter you have.
    The lens profiles for Lightroom 4 and 5 are under LR's Resources subfolder:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom x.x\Resources\LensProfiles\1.0\
    (x.x = whatever version of LR you have)
    For my LR 4.4  I have the following 16 subfolders under LensProfiles\1.0:
    Apple
    Canon
    Fujifilm
    Hasselblad
    Leica
    Mamiya
    Nikon
    Pentax
    Phase One
    Samsung
    Schneider
    Sigma
    Sony
    Tamron
    Tokina
    Zeiss
    LR 5.3 adds DJI and GoPro as manufacturers for a total of 18 subfolders.

    - the information in the list https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html
    is little misleading because suggests there is a profile for Samsung 16-50 lenses
    I tried to make a 3 profiles in a Adobe Lens Profile Creator 1.0.4 for 16mm, 26mm and 50mm (but it was very amateur work, so I don't guarantee the quality)
    Here is a result:
