Light room lens profiles

Does anyone know how to make this work reliably? All my lenses provide exit data, yet if I have the lens profile set to auto it often will not assign the right lens. Worse if I choose a devoloo preset that specifies a lens, then set it to auto and then eg change the vignette or distortion value it will drop back to the previous lens. The only sure fire way I've found to get it to work - or to make sure the right profile is there is to switch to another manufacturer and then back to the.correct manufacturer. If it picks a lens I don't have as the profile then I've bussed wrong and have to pick another manufacturer. This is obviously Bonkers.
PS the new forums are virtually unusable on mobile. For design software manufacturers this is not great

Do your lenses have Adobe-supplied profiles that are listed on Adobe’s lens-profile page or are they ones you’ve created or downloaded because Adobe doesn’t supply these lens 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.

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.

Lens Profile Tool Addition – White Balance Offset Correction

I have noticed that my Canon 17-40mm and 70-200mm F4 IS lenses have virtually identical color temperature and can use the same white balance setting. My Sigma 50mm F2.8 Macro lens is another story, requiring almost 200K and +15 change to White Balance sliders. I am sure there are cases where Canon’s lenses will differ more widely and exhibit a similar degree of white balance differences, not to mention use of UV or 1B protection filters. An 85mm F1.2 lens using “rare earth” low dispersion glass, will have a warmer color temperature than a lens using more common glass elements.
I use the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport to create custom profiles for each of my camera bodies. I typically make separate correction presets for Daylight, Cloudy, and Tungsten (2700K). This requires changing the LR White Balance sliders to obtain “neutral gray in the ColorChecker image files shot in each of above described lighting conditions. It does not appear necessary to create a separate ColorChecker camera profile for each lens, just correction to the LR white balance slider settings.
I did some measurements of change in camera profile for Sunny Daylight (~5,500K), Cloudy (8,000K+), and Tungsten (~2,900K) lighting. There was no measurable change in rendering of the ColorChecker Passport images for the extreme Sunny to Cloudy conditions, and only very slight changewhen comparing the Tungsten profile. This was done by loading a ColorChecker Passport image file and applying alternate profiles:
EXAMPLE:
Open a DaylightColorChecker Passport image file in LR, apply Cloudy Camera Profile, and adjust White Balance for the gray scale patches using the Eyedropper Tool. Then look at the 'Before' and 'After' images....you will see NO visual change to any of the color patches. I saw only a very slight change when doing this with the Daylight to Tungsten (artificial light source) comparison.
The relatively small change in color balance between lenses (~500K max.) should have no measurable or visible affect to the ColorChecker Passport created "Camera Profile." The ColorChecker Passport or any other "Camera Profile" creation tool is first and foremost correcting for differences in the camera's image sensor color rendering.
SUGGESTION:
Since this white balance difference is a factor of the lens, it would be very convenient to add another tool in Lightroom's and Camera Raw Lens Profile panel for “White Balance Offset.” This allows setup of LR defaults for one specific lens type, such as your most used lens. Then you use the new ‘Lens Profile’ located ‘White Balance Offset’ correction tool to adjust white balance for all of your other lenses. In addition, Adobe or camera manufacturers could also provide the 'White Balance Offset Correction' as a function of the lens spectral response deviation from linear. This would provide a "uniform method" of calculating and adding the White Balance correction to the 'Lens Profile.' Since this is a factor of the lens only, the “lens offset correction” can be used with ANY lens/camera body pairing, The current LR and Camera Raw White Balance settings are then only used for “Global” correction of lighting conditions, and NOT for lens differences.
This is a linear mathematical function,which should be extremely easy for Adobe to add the ‘White Balance Offset’ correction feature to LR’s and Camera Raw's Lens Profile GUI. Just like many other tools in LR that some don't use, you can choose to use it or not!

Interesting suggestion. Thanks. -Simon

Lens profile - Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM

I am using Lightroom V5. When I went to use the Lens Profile Correction feature, I could not find this lens in the database. This prime lens is one that is most recommended for portrait work on a Canon EF-S body. Why doesn't Adobe have a lens correction profile for it? Has anyone created one? Thank you.

Best,

Hi,
As with other camera manufacturers Canon applies lens correction data during the in-camera production of the JPG, although not as much as it applies in DPP. Therefore typically it is only required to correct the RAW file.

In light room 5 under camera calibration the only option I have is adobe standard. Nothing else.

I have seen the tutorial that shows different models of cameras coming up under camera calibration in light room 5. The only option I get for my sony cameras is Adobe standard. Is there some setup procedure that I have missed

Thank you Bob I have a sony a57 and a77.

There may be only one profile depending on which camera you have. Multiple profiles are only available on some camera.

Bridge missing lens profiles

Hi there, for some reason my new copy of the latest Bridge seems to only show 6 lens profiles for nikon.
Bridge has been updated to the most current update but that didn't seem to help...
Can anyone shed some light on what the problem could be here?

Yes, you only get the non-raw profiles when you process TIFF/JPEG files. FWIW I get 8, so you might want to update Camera Raw anyway.
You might not know that there are a wealth of 3rd-party profiles out there, which you might find useful. You can easily search for them online in Photoshop's Lens Correction filter by clicking the ... erm ... Search Online button.

Photos look different in Light room vs. PS2 or any other photo software

Using LR2,PS2 and ACDSee8.0 on windows xp pro. I have no trouble exporting or importing photos to LR. My problem is the photos have a different tone or color in light room. When I make changes and export to say photoshop, its as if no changes were transferred to Photoshop. Best way I can describe is: Nature photo looks like evening light in LR and exported to PS2 looks like midday original light. Any Ideas?

Recalibrate your display. This is the clear symptom of a bad monitor profile (or of an incorrectly setup Photoshop but that is more rare.)

Apply Lens profile in Premiere Pro?

Hi,
I'm new to Prmiere Pro and video shooting, when I use DLSR to shoot videos, notice some of lights fall off and lens distortion on the wide angle lens I use.
is there anyway to apply the lens profile in Premiere Pro, like what we usually do in photoshop, lightroom and camera raw?
Thank you very much.

Lens profiles should be added to Premiere Pro. They should be ported from Photoshop to Premiere Pro and updated simultaneously.
Please submit a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
It was only in the last few years that people started using a DSLR to shoot video. It was only fairly recently that the video was worth using for any professional purpose. I was hoping that this last release would have it. But no such luck.
Now, if I could just get my Panasonic lenses added to the profiles. Lots of GH2, GH3 and GH4 users out there would benefit.

Create lens profile for ultra wide angle lens

Hello,
I am trying to create a lens profile for the ultra wide angle lens Olympus 9-18 mm (Crop factor 2). As i use the lens for timelapse, i only need the profiles for 9 mm and open aperture f4, but combined with several different ND-filters which show different vignetting depending on their filter strength. Filters are oversized, so no influence by fringe. What i need is to get rid of vignetting.
So far everything works out well, and probably good enough for still photography. However for timelapse I need a high quality compensation of vignetting, otherwise getting flicker.
My problem is, that with the ultra wide angle lens distance from camera to chart (A3) is just about 0.5 meters. I did the shootings outside, in shade, when having a clear sky, and I found it quite impossible not to produce any shadow of myself or the camera on the chart. Thus I got a not perfectly even correction of vignetting.
Can anyone give me tips how to solve that problem with producing shade on the cart? Maybe working indoors with 2 lamps can create better results? Have tried that but found the illumination of the chart so damn poor.

I think your best bet is outside, with possibly a larger chart. (The two-light setup indoors is problematic esp. with wide-angle lenses.)
Instead of waiting for overcast, try waiting for a sunny clear day with a direct lighting from the sun on the chart, at a sharp angle (almost side-lit) so that the chart is clearly illuminated, but the shadow that the camera casts will be to the side (instead of on the chart itself).

Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L Lens Profile???

Hi
I uesed this lens for a project but i don't own it! so no chance now to creat a profile for me.
Hase someone made a profile for this lens (with no tilt or shift of corse)?
thanks for any reply or help!

The lens profile delineates corrections for geometric (barrel or pincushion) distortion and for light fall-off (vignetting). The CA correction and defringe functions are separate tools that just happen to be grouped together with profile application function and the perspective distortion tools in the same panel because there is a certain logic to having them under one roof.

Light room 5.0 multiple pages printing issue

I'm facing strange issue with multiple pages print from Light Room to Pixma Pro-10 using Canon IJ XPS driver. (OS Win 7)
Every time when I want to print multiple pages, second and all others are shifted to green. It's also seen on Preview page - see below
View: original size
It's a print of two exactly same images (created by virtual copy in Lr) only difference is a printing order (seen on bottom left) if I swap the printing order results is the same - second print is shifted.
Even if I make 8 copies of the same image and print it - 4 per page (2x2 pattern) all images on the first page is ok and all on second page are shifted.
I can'not imagine where should be a problem. Image is in sRGB color space. Color management managed by printer. Printing from other applications (tested with Irfan and ACDSee) seems to be OK.
It's not a startup problem - I already print numerous images without issue - its should be faulty settings somewhere - but I'm not aware of any color related settings change.
Disabling preview didn't help - second and next images are shifted
Color management in LightRoom is set to Managed by printer - which gives excellent results (for the first image)
Any other settings produces much worse images.

Some thoughts that may or may not be of any help:
1) To me the "green" image looks desaturated like a ProPhotoRGB image that is being printed with an sRGB profile. All images in LR have internal color numbers that have ProPhotoRGB-sized colorspace but a different gamma, irrespective of what the source image had for its colorspace, so the way you have things set, I would assume that LR is sending raw ProPhotoRGB-like data and the printer is doing a conversion, but erroneously only for the first page, somehow, whereas any other program that prints is sending sRGB data and it works every time.
2) What color management settings do you have set on the printer? Are they some sort of Automatic color or have you set a specific color profile to match the paper?
3) What happens if you have LR manage the color with a paper-specific profile set in LR and set the printer not to manage color? Does the first page print differently, then? Create smallish-sized prints on each page so as not to waste ink. This is the way I'd have LR and the printer setup, with LR doing the color-management and the printer not. You haven't said how you have your printer settings, so something that could be happening is LR is expecting the printer to do the color-management and the printer is expecting LR to be doing it, so its not working right.
4) A first page printing differently than the others can be a setting in the printer, to handle a cover-page differently than the rest, because it has different paper. I have no experience with your printer, but you might look to see if there is such a setting.
5) You haven’t said if you’re using any LR printing layout preset or not. If so then try printing without having selected one or select a completely different, standard one, and see if the problem clears up.
6) LR will remember the last printer and printer-driver settings that you used, so if the driver is updated but LR is remembering settings for the previous driver, then things can get messed up. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drive. You can try installing another copy of the printer driver using a different name for the printer, that way LR’s saved settings shouldn’t be associated with that new name.
7) As a last resort, and only after reviewing various preferences you have set in LR, you can try to reset LR’s preferences, in case something is corrupted and causing problems. The way to reset the preferences is to exit LR and rename the preferences file to something without an .agprefs extension, then restart LR. If renaming doesn’t seem to be working, then move the .agprefs file to your desktop, temporarily. You can delete the preferences file, but it’s safer to rename it or move it, in case it doesn’t fix the problem, then you can rename or move it back and have all your old preferences back, instead of recreating all the non-default settings. The Preferences file location along with many other things, is documented here:
http://members.lightroomqueen.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1373/205/lightroom-5-default- locations
Finally, is there a reason you’re using LR 5.0 rather than one of the newer versions, in case 5.0 has a bug that has been fixed in subsequent versions?
Various LR versions can be follow by clicking on the Windows/Mac link under Lightroom down near the bottom of the center column of the Adobe Updates page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x Lens Profile

The Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x Lens does currently not have a lens profile in LR 5.x. What is the likelihood that Adobe will add one?

The lens profile delineates corrections for geometric (barrel or pincushion) distortion and for light fall-off (vignetting).

Lens Profiles for Sony Alpha DSLR's? Share Yours!

Hey everyone out there, I wanted to make a thread were we could share lens profiles for the Sony Alpha DSLR system. I currently use the A-700 and the A-900 for all of my "Pro" work. I welcome this new tool with open arms as distortion is sometimes a huge issue when using some wide angle lenses.
I personally use the following lenses on a daily basis and will be making profiles for these lenses sometime today!
Tamron 70-200mm f2.8
Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 (lots of distortion on the wide end)
Sony 50mm f1.4
Sony 70-300G
Sigma 50mm f2.8 Macro
Minolta 28mm f2.8
So lets see if we can get the most popular lenses for the Alpha mount profiled and ready to go to share with everyone and help make the Sony shooting experience a whole lot better!

Yes, I actually believe the difference is minimal. The optical distortions & vignette would be the same. Obviously when creating the profile, it would help to use the higher-res camera, as it would allow better recognition of a finer grid chart, but the light would fall on the sensor in the same way for both cameras.
I'm not looking to argue with anyone. I know things tend to get heated sometimes here and I don't have any desire for that.
Let's say we have different opinions.
Nothing wrong with that so long we behave in in civil way.
The size of the microlenses on top of the photo cells also differ from earlier CMOS sensors.
That can influence the CA.
Color fringes, particularly noticeable at the edges of high-contrast photos, are is principally caused by lateral chromatic aberrations, where the lens — like a prism — splits the visible light into its different color components. DxO Optics Pro analyzes each image and automatically detects and corrects these fringes or irisations, thanks to its precise characterization of the fault based on the specific lens-camera combination that you use.

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?
