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 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 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...

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.

Custom lens profile not working

I decided to create a custome lens profile for my old Canon EF 17-35 2.8 L USM lens. I downloaded the Adobe Lens Profile creator and studied documentation. After figuring out it is time taking process I finally decided to shoot over 500 hundred images with the lens in RAW format with my 5D Mark III.
First I was a little too optimistic and imported all the photos to ALPC without separating them to distance groups. I shot 9 photo sets with apertures 2.8, 4, 5.6 and 8, focal lengths 17, 20, 24, 28 and 35 from 3 different distances. The ALPC created the profile ok (there were some skipped photos) and I can select that profile both in LR5.2 and PS CC. However nothing changes in the picture when I select that profile. I read the documentation again and decided to start again with just one set of 9 pictures (17mm, 8.0, one shooting position) profile gets created and is selectable in LR and PS, but it affects nothing. Even if the target photo (RAW) is shot with different focal length or aperture, shouldn't the approximation used then and some visual change to be seen?
What am I doing wrong?

Please send the profile and an example raw image (taken with this 17-35 lens) to me at [email protected] (dropbox, yousendit.com, etc.). It will help me determine what is going wrong.

Photo bundle serial will not work in lightroom 5.4.

I just bought a photo bundle membership but the serial number will not work in lightroom 5.4.
I hade a tril version of LR5.4 which has now run out so I purchased the PhotoShop LightRoom bundle but the serial number will not activate LightRoom.
I get a big red x
Can any body help[ plaease.

Rik

You have to install Lightroom 5.4 through the CC Application Manager. Before you can do this proceed as follows.
Uninstall the LR 5.4 trial (Mac drag the application from your Application sub folder) win use the Control Panel feature to uninstall. Your user presets, catalog etc will remain in place.Reboot your system then open the CC Application Manager and the LR download should be available for download. You will not have to actually input the serial number.
Both applications are the same just the licensing procedure is different in the Creative Cloud.

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.

Does the Lens Profile Creator work with Photoshop Elements 8.0..?

Hello,
I am very new to the world of Photoshop, so please forgive if this is an obvious/stupid question...
I am using Photoshop Elements 8.0 and I have a couple of pictures that I need to remove the 'fish eye' lens distortion from around the edges...
The blurb for the Lens Profile Creator says that it is for use in the "Adobe Photoshop® family of products"...
Does this include Photoshop Elements 8.0 or do they really mean it is just for Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw and Photoshop Lightroom...
Any help will be appreciated...
Many Thanks

PSE does not have the user-interface to turn on lens-corrections, nor does the ACR 6.1 update for PSE contain the lens-profile database installer, so if PSE is the only member of the PS-family that you have installed then effectively you cannot apply lens profiles.
If a computer has the lens-profile database installed and lens-distortion-correction has been enabled in the XMP sidecar for a particular image, both requiring PS-CS5's ACR 6.1-updater or LR3 to be installed and one of those used to enable lens-corrections for the image, then PSE can use ACR 6.1 to apply a lens profile, because the version of the ACR 6.1 plug-in for PS and PSE is the same plug-in.
BTW, removing fish-eye distortion completely, which is what enabling lens-corrections does by default, will leave a rather poor looking image that has been completely rectilinearized but has severe stretching of the pixels at the edges, so only the center is useable. With my 8mm Sigma fisheye, I reduce the Distortion part of the correction down to 44 so the black corners are gone, but there is still some bulging of the image.
If you want to experiment with lens-corrections, you could install the 30-day trial of LR3.

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...

PSE 11 - MacOX 10.7.5 Printing Wide Format Printer and Profiles Not Working Correctly

Macosx 10.7.5
When I start up PSE11 and go to print I set up the paper size then select a Printer Profile. When print the image it is a mess and seem to be black and white it is as if I printed on the wrong side of the paper.
I then go and try to print it again.   Now it all works as it should beutiful colours and spot on. all other print following this works.
Then I shut down PSE11.   Start it up again. Guess what first print is a mess again.   all others after are fine.
I uninstalled PSE11, deleted prefs. and reinstalled PSE11.    Same thing..   first print a mess all others ok.
the issue can be replicated consistantly......
no problems with PSE10 or PSE9
any suggestions?????
cheers elo

Thank You for your suggestions.
I have been printing using PSE for over 14 years going back before the term PSE came up. I have done this professionally using profiles from others and those I generate myself..
All the things you mentioned have been done.
The main point missing in your suggestions is   It is only the first print every time I open up PSE11 that does not work...
at completion of print I immediately go back to the file command and say print and then bypass all settings and print again.   this time and every other print aafter are perfect...      I did not change one single setting...
I know about printer and adobe settings etc.     but thanks for going through the list it was a good reminder of how to remember everything sometimes we rush and forget something...
Finally    It works PSE6, PSE9, PSE10, CS5, Lightroom 4.   I think I have the settings right......
Any suggestions for how to get PSE11 to force the settings for the first print would be appreciated..
Only thing I have not done is upgrade to the latest version of the epson driver. Released less than a month ago to provide support for mountain lion.(iam only on lion) Maybe just maybe???   you never know.   Will try this when I finish by next batch of prints.
I will back up as I do weekly...    Still have the old driver from way back in release 10.5.8   will try to fire up to 10.5.8 and see what happens....

IOS Device-Sensor and ISE profiling not working

Hello,
I configured IOS device-sensor on one 2960CG-8-TCL switch. IOS is 15.2(2)E.
Switchconfig:
device-sensor filter-list dhcp list dhcp-list
option name host-name
device-sensor filter-spec dhcp include list dhcp-list
device-sensor accounting
device-sensor notify all-changes
Switch does DHCP-Snooping and "show device-sensor cache all" shows the DHCP name:
Device: b2b5.2fff.sa43 on port GigabitEthernet0/1
Proto Type:Name                       Len Value
DHCP    12:host-name                   17 0C 0F 11 31 22 41 50 43 33 31 32 30 30 30 37 38
                                          38
RADIUS probe on ISE is activated and TCPdump shows the accounting packets from the switch (see attachment).
I configured a profiling rule ot check for DHCP-Hostname with "contains". This rule does not work however. The device is getting profiled with a MAC-OUI via RADIUS-probe but the DHCP-Profile is not working.
Is this supposed to work?

That is interesting. I haven't worked with the "Device Sensor" much so I am running out of ideas. I really thought the certainty level was going to fix your issue as I have had issues similar like yours in the past where the certainty level of my custom rule was the same as a default one so mine custom rule was never hit. . I thought this was the case with you since your device was hitting the parent policy of "HP-Device" but not moving any further. With that being  l would still recommend keeping your custom conditions with higher certainty levels to avoid such situations.
Couple of more things:
1. What profiling probes do you have enabled?
2. Have you tried retrieving the DHCP hostname via another sensor/method. For example, via the DHCP probe and ip-helper?
3. Do you have the following commands entered on your switch:
access-session template monitor
no macro auto monitor
device-sensor accounting
device-sensor notify all-changes

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.

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.
