Lens Profiles not registering in Lightroom 4

I have a number of lens profiles that I have created with Adobe Lens Profile Creator and placed in the designated folder, but when I run Lightroom, they do not appear in the list.
There is an "index.dat" file under folder 1.0 that I suspect needs to be updated, but I don't know how.
I also added a Minolta folder since there was noe befor to place my Minolta lens profiles. This does not show either when I run Lightroom.

Rikk is correct. User created lens profiles should be put under the user specific lens profiles folders.
On Mac, put them under (note there is no space in the "CameraRaw" sub-folder) or any of its sub directories:
Hard Drive>Users>your user name>Library>Application Support>Adobe>CameraRaw>Lens Profiles>1.0
On Windows,
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0
I thought ALPC will default to save to these user speficic locations.

Lens Profiles Not Registering

Most of my lens profiles are no longer registering. I am running Lightroom 3.4RC and Camera Raw 6.4RC. I can see only 6 lens profiles, none of which I have ever used before. Any ideas?
Oh, and the files are in the /program data/adobe/camera raw/nikon folder. I checked that first.

Lens Profiles are either for RAWs or non-RAWs so if you're editing a JPG/TIF then you won't see the RAW-specific profiles and vice versa.
You don't need to uninstall multiple things, necessarily. The idea is to get the installer for LR 3.4 RC or ACR 6.4 RC to run and install the profiles, again. If you can install the same thing over the top of what's already there, then that should be enough. You should be able to install the LR 3.4 RC, again, since you went back a few versions.
You might want to check to see if you can find the profile files, themselves, on your harddrive--ProgramData is a hidden folder so you may not see it in Explorer by just type in the location and hit enter and it should go there:
Adobe-supplied profiles are in these two locations:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0
C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0
User-created profiles are under:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0
Downloaded profiles go into a Downloaded subfolder.
If your user is not an Administrator then that might be the problem if the files seem to exist but you can't see them in LR or ACR. Sometimes deleting the pscache.dat file in the Users folder will make LR/ACR refind all the profiles.

Lens Profiles not working in Lightroom 5.4?

I've got OSX 10.9.2, Lightroom 5.4, latest Camera raw, everything up to date.
When I "Enable Profile Corrections" for an image shot with a Sony a7r and Sony FE 55mm lens, it should automatically retrieve this profile:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Sony/SONY (Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA) - RAW.lcp
Well, it doesn't. The only Sony lens available in Lightroom's Lens Correction panel is "Sony DT 18-200mm." But there are several dozen Sony lense profiles in the "Sony" directory.
And more puzzling, the camera "Make" menu lists 8 manufacturers (Apple, Canon, DJI, GoPro, Nikon, Sigma, Sony, Tamron) but leaves out a number of others — Fujifilm, Hasselblad, Leica, Mamiya, etc.
And as with Sony, only one Tamron lens is listed.
I've tried re-installing Lightroom fresh, and no luck.
Photoshop works fine and has all the lens profiles.
Anyone else noticing this? Got a fix?
Irked in Cambridge,

I only shoot in RAW, and I am having this same issue. I shoot Nikon with a Tokina lens. This morning, Tuesday October 14, 2014, I had this setting. I closed the program and restarted it, and now I only have Apple, Canon, DJI, GoPro, Nikon, Sigma, Sony, Tamron lens profiles. There was not an update, nor did I actually change any settings. What is going on here?
I talked to customer support, whom suggested that I was stoned out of my mind because these profiles do not exist in lightroom. I did as the rep asked, followed the link and downloaded the "new" profile. Now I can't get it installed. Meanwhile, my photos are waiting for me to edit them. Can someone please help out here?!

Lens profiles not available in Lightroom CC

I have downloaded and installed lens profiles but they do not show in Lightroom CC as choices in the drop down menu? They were there for Lightroom 4 but not since I purchased and installed Lightroom 5 via the Creative Cloud?

I have downloaded lens profiles in an analogous folder on my computer and they work ok, so you're putting them in the right place, assuming you're logged in as user Michael.
The other thing is are the photos you're opening RAW or non-RAW, and is the lens-profile you're hoping to use for RAW or non-RAW, and is it for the same camera manufacturer (Canon, Nikon, etc) as your photos?

Lens profile not appearing in Lightroom

Hi folks,
I have installed Lightroom 5.4 from CC on Windows 8 and just ensured it is updated.
I am attempting to use a lens profile correction for a Sony E 35mm 2.8 lens (which should have been added in the Lightroom 5.3 update).
When I attempt to select the lens profile, the only lens I have showing under Sony is a DT 18-200mm.
Do I need to activate anything in order to get the Sony 35mm to show?
Cheers

The lens profile is likely built in and always applied so there’s nothing to select; however, if you want to upload a raw file I can check in Photoshop, which actually tells you that it’s using a built-in profile, rather than leaving you wonder. Use http://www.dropbox.com and post a public download link, here, in a reply.

Lens Profile Not Showing Up in Lightroom 5.7

Despite the profile for a particular lens appearing in (what I presume to be) the correct places on my hard drive (see paths below), the lens profile does not appear in the drop-down within LR panel for Lens Corrections / Lens Profile. Other new Sony lenses (FE series) do show up but not ALL of them that are in either location (paths below). Weird. What am I missing?
The profile does show up in ACR 8.8. Similarly, Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 populates the profile automatically when I use Filter>Lens Correction but it just won't appear in Lightroom.
Background: CC subscriber, Lightroom 5.7.1, Win 8.1, 64-bit; I have restarted my computer and LR several times.
Profile that is not appearing: SONY (Sony FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS) - RAW.lcp
I see it here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1\Resources\LensProfiles\1.0\Sony
and here:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Sony
The camera (Sony a7ii) also appears in the related "Camera Profile" locations and it does show up in the "Make" drop-down in LR.
Thanks for any help,
Bill

Thank you.
Worked perfectly.

Supported lens corrections profile not listed in Lightroom 3.2

I have installed the Lightroom 3.2 update, which lists support for the "Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II" lens. I've shot a number of photos with this lens (using a Canon T1i) and loaded them into Lightroom. In the metadata for the photos, the lens appears as "EF50mm f/1.8 II".
Within Lightroom's "Lens Corrections" section, the "Auto" option reports "Unable to locate a matching profile automatically." I've manually searched the list of Canon lenses, and it's not on the list.
In the folder
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Canon/
I see a file corresponding to this lens
Canon EOS 5D Mark II (Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II) - RAW.lcp
but it's listed with only the one specific body.
I've tried manually installing the Camera Raw 6.2 update, but it reports "Update is not applicable." Given the file listed above, I suspect it was already installed.
In the release notes, which listed Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens, it didn't mention that support was limited to only a certain camera body. Could someone please help me? Thanks!

My assumption that I should be able to find the lens within Lightroom came from the release notes at
http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2010/08/lightroom-3-2-and-came ra-raw-6-2-now-available.html
rather than the filename of the profile that I found. As far as I can see, the release notes don't specify that it only applies to raw images.
I agree that the release notes could have been a clearer in terms of what was provided. I can also appreciate why the profiles for JPEG were not included, namely time constraints.
After converting the original raw images to JPEG it would have taken an hour or so to run the calibration images for these "new" profiles through the lens profile creator application. Following a number of requests I did this myself for the dozen or so profiles that I had already uploaded to the Adobe lens profile server. That was a days work for me, for the Adobe engineer(s) working on all of the new profiles it would probably have taken a fair number of days/weeks.

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 profiles not showing up in cs6

I have cs6... the lens profiles are not showing up in either camera raw or photoshop. They are grayed out in the lens correction filter tab. any help would be appreciated.

Okay, I'm answering my own reply. I discovered the problem. It was the fact that LR was running in 64-bit mode. Apparently Epson's profiles are not set up for that...
So, if anyone has this issue, that is the answer. 64-bit mode was either selected as a default after upgrading to v2.5, or I perhaps selected it after reading Seth Resnicks' Lightroom book where he recommends 64bit for speed.

Lens profile not recognized by LR 5.3

At work, on a Windows 7 laptop, I used the Adobe Lens Profile Creator utility to make an LCP file for a Nikon 1 6.7-13mm zoom lens. After submitting that LCP file to adobe via email, I copied it to my Dropbox. At home, on my Mac OS X 10.8.5, I copied the LCP file from the Dropbox to:
\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Camera Raw\Lens Profiles\1.0\
Then I launched LR 5.3, navigated to a raw (NEF) image shot with this lens, and attempted to apply the lens correction in the Develop pane. Although the Library correctly shows the meta data for the lens and camera, the Lens Correction section in Develop does not even list that lenses LCP file in the drop down menu. Instead, LR attempts to apply a different lens profile which does not match the focal length of the zoom. I'm wondering if the LCP file that I created will only work on a Windows PC since that is where it was created? What other explanation could there be for this problem? Thanks for any advice...

Update - I stayed up late last night and re-ran the lens profile creator at home on my Mac OS X 10.8.5. Placed that LCP file in the directory I originally mentioned above (I overwrote the earlier LCP file created on a Windows machine), launched LR 5.3, and LR successfully matched the new profile with my lens.
Lesson learned - an LCP file created on Windows OS cannot be used on a Mac, and I assume, vice versa. In retrospect, this shouldn't be a surprise (but some other file formats appear to work on either). I wonder if Adobe translates user submitted LCP files from one platform to the other, so that downloads are offered to the community equally on either platform...

Lens Profile not available for old photos

Hi
I got busy creating a lens profile for my Canon 550 and EFS 15-85 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM as there was no profile listed for this lens when I took some photos in early July. I now find that the profile is now available (for the photos taken in the last week or so) and automatically selected when I select 'Enable Profile Corrections' BUT is still not available for the older photos - can someone tell me how to get the new profile available for the older photos - in fact why does the list not show the new profile??

Thanks Ian
I do all RAW now but to get more photos on my SD card
used JPEG for a time.

Lens Profile Not Automatically Selecting Anymore...?

Hello all,
I have been using LR3 for a little while and I was excited when the 3.3 update added lens profile support for my last unsupported lens--the newer Tamron 70-300 VC USD. Now, I don't shoot with that lens too much, so I do not have a great number of images since that update, but I SEEM to remember that I tested out a few images and LR3 was correctly choosing lens profile for the 70-300. However, I shot some more images this evening and its not choosing that profile anymore automatically.
I have done some searching on this forums and tried a few of the troubleshooting steps I found. I have tried to install LR3. No effect. I manually chose the 70-300 profile to ensure that it did have an effect on the picture (so the profile is not missing or anything). And, yes, I am shooting in RAW only, no JPEGs.
The issue is just that when I load up any images taken with the Tammy 70-300 (all other lens profiles for all my other lenses are loaded automatically), LR3 just gives me the "unable to locate matching profile automatically"
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Please excuse me for beating a dead horse, but I just want to make sure that I understand. If I manually select the correct profile and then save as default, LR3 will associate all new photos with that correction profile automatically? i.e., I wont have to manually select that profile when I load in new pictures? Is that just working by manually telling LR to associate that profile with this particular *likely faulty or messy* EXIF data set?
It will save it as the default for that lens and camera combination.
Fully automatic lens profile selection can only be activated by including a Develop Preset when importing. Fortunately, you need only create one prset a Lr will automatically select the correct profile.

Lens profiles not working well

Very disappointed here. I was looking forward to the automatic lens correction a la DXoin PS , but unfortunately it doesnt work very well. I tried all my lenses and none gets corrected by the included profiles to a satisfactory degree. My camera is the Canon EOS 50D . First I used the profile for the Canon 10-22 lens. The profiles did not correct Ca to a usable degree. I had to make strong manually adjustements to get rid of the CA.
I also tried other lens profiles. None actually corrects CA well. The profile for the 17-85 requires +25 R/C and +50 B/Y to eliminate the CA. The profile for the 70-200 requires less extreme correction, but still doesnt work with out manual adjustement, although the lens just returned from Canon service, where it was for optical inspection and readjustment.
There is also one more bug. When I switich distortion correction on, additional CA is introduced into the picture. The Ca correction required to correct the automatic CA correction changes, depending on whether distorion correction is used or not. Sorry but this performance is not usful at all, if I have to tweak each and every profile manually and re-tweak it again, if I adjust geometric distortion. DXO works much better in this regard.

I don't use these features, since I don't have such a cam, but could it be that you may need to input settings for filmback and distance of the lens mount somewhere? If the program operated based on wrong assumprions, the best profile in the world would be wrong...

Loading Known Lens Profiles (Not custom)

Under Lens Corrections in ACR I get the following error message : "Unable to locate a matching lens profile automatically." How do I install the known profiles as I believe the lenses I use are well known and are in the adobe list of common profiles?
Thank you.

Here is a website that leads you through it. Made for Lightroom but procedure should be same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3qn5lD1BZY

LR 4.2 RC Canon 40mm and 18-135 STM Lens Profiles Not Installed

I have installed LR 4.2 RC but when I check Lens Profiles these lenses are not listed although ACR 7.2 is supposed to be supporting them. Can anyone tell me where I can get the profiles for these lenses and what is the proper procedure to install them?

I just figured out what I was doing wrong. All I had to do was open my CR2 RAW file in the development module and select the Lens Corrections Tab and checkmark the Enable Profile Corrections box and my Canon 18-135 STM lens profile was activated. Thanks for the replies.
