Lightroom 3.4.1 Lens Corrections – Manual Tab Defaults

I'm running LR 3.4.1 on Windows 64bit OS. I just discovered some pictures shot recently with my 5D MKII have the Lens Corrections Manual tab Chromatic Aberration settings applied Red/Cyan = -17 and Blue/Yellow = +5. I hadn't applied these settings so went back and checked my Lens Profile defaults only to find this is the default for those settings. What I mean is when you double-click on the Manual tab slider titles 'Red/Cyan' and ‘Blue/Yellow,' or on the heading title 'Chromatic Aberration, these are the settings applied as "defaults." I would have expected the default to be '0' for both, and there does not appear to be anyway to reset them to '0' other than manually correcting each. I tried 'Reset Lens Profile Defaults,' but that only resets the settings in the 'Profile' tab.
It appears to have only affected one group of pictures and import of new pictures applies the Lens Profile correctly with Manual tab settings at '0.' But it still defaults to the non-zero settings for Manual CA when double-clicking as described above, which is probably how I screwed up on that one group of pictures.
Anyone have ideas in what is going on...or am I simply overlooking something obvious?

Thanks Lee Jay. I must have inadvertently set those when updating the camera profile. ALT key, 'Set Default' and selected 'Update to current settings' with them set back to '0' did the trick.

Lens Correction Manual Slider Bug!

Hello,
I've been having a problem with the Lens correction Manual Sliders. Constrain Crop selected.
The vertical and horizontal sliders are behaving more like the distortion slider.
When sliding left or right they are pulling from the center, rather than the right or left end.
Also, with the scale slider....If I scale down it shifts to the right. when I reset all the sliders to zero.
The image doe not reset to its original position.
Is this something that the Lightroom 4 team is aware of?
One all the bugs are fixed I look forward to its release! Your hard work on this software is appreciated!
Best, Pam

The vertical and horizontal sliders are behaving more like the distortion slider.
When sliding left or right they are pulling from the center, rather than the right or left end.
Well, they *are* distortion sliders (sort of), leaving the very center of the photo unchanged. This has not changed from LR3. I can see no bug there. Also keep in mind that the visual effect is very different from wide angle photos to tele photos. Photos made with a tele lens are more or less just changed in the aspect ratio, and not so much distorted like wide angle photos.
Also, with the scale slider....If I scale down it shifts to the right.
This can happen if you used the horizontal slider before, combined with "Constrain Crop" - because the usable part of the photo shifts to one side or another. In the same way, scaling will shift up/down if one used the vertical slider before. This is perfectly normal. Hint: Try the vertical and horizontal sliders independently, with scaling set to 50 (minimum) and "Constrain Crop" *OFF* to see what they do with the photo - that made it a lot clearer to me how they work.
when I reset all the sliders to zero. The image doe not reset to its original position.
Also normal, because if you reset the manual corrections after working with "Constrain Crop" enabled, only the manual corrections themselves are reset, leaving the crop&straighten tool at some "funny" settings. Go to crop&straighten and reset it, too.
In conclusion, I see no bugs here. I also fiddled with the various manual sliders, and could not see any behaviour that was different to LR3, which has no bugs in this respect as far as I know...
P.S. I am not sure if I quoted the last question correctly or not. I assume these two sentences belong together?

Lightroom 5.7.1 Lens Corrections chooses wrong lens info from EXIF when I 'Enable Profile Corrections'. Windows 7

When I enable lens corrections on a jpg image it brings up the wrong lens info. If I try to change it there are only 2 lenses listed—neither one is correct. It lists a 50mm lens even though in the Histogram just above it says 18mm. I then tried the original DNG image & it chooses the correct lens automatically. Both the jpg & DNG image EXIF info show an 18mm lens, which is correct, but Lr doesn't read the jpg info correctly. The problem is the same on all the images I've tried so far.

Most Adobe-supplied lens profiles are for raw files only. Since there are very few JPG lens profiles LR is probably just choosing the closest one it has which isn’t anywhere close to the right lens.
The reason raw and jpgs have separate lens profiles is because cameras apply lens corrections when they produce JPGs and it would be inappropriate for LR to apply a lens profile when the camera already has, so LR refrains. If you are sure that your camera has not applied any corrections then you can hack a raw lens profile into a jpg lens profile by text-editing a copy of the .lcp file that comes with LR, and changing the raw designation from true to false inside the file for each profile segment, then move this edited copy to the users profile area. You might also find the JPG version of the profile using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader available via a search at adobe.com.

Lens correction and Develop defaults

in this video http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/enhancing-light/ J. Kost shows how to create default settings in the Develop module so that your photos are always lens corrected (she recommends doing that for every photo). I followed her instructions (they are pretty simple) and i'm getting mixed results. Sometimes when i open my photo in Develop, i see that the lens correction has been applied (good). Other times, there is none applied, and if i enable it, it applies the correction (so i know it can be applied.). All my photos are shot with the same Nikon D300, but some are shot with different lenses, and some are shot in JPEGs. I can't yet determine any pattern to why some have correction applied and others don't. Questions:
-- should this work for all photos shot with the same camera and different lenses?
-- should this work for all photos shot with the same camera but some in JPEG and others in RAW?
-- does this work only when a photo is opened in Develop?
Thanks!

that's interesting and curious -- why is that? do you recommend only using manual lens correction?
The underlying "Warping* model required for distortion correction is very processor intensive, but this is not the only factor we need to take into account. The choice of how and when to apply the profile in the workflow should be based on, amongst other things, image content, lens used, cpu and system resources. For example, does every image really need geometric distortion correction? Do some images not actually benefit from some vignetting?
Above examples actually highlight another issue (i.e. both lens distortion and vignette correction are built into a single profile). First, we have the correction of geometric distortion, which is the correction that hurts local adjustment and healing brush performance. Then we have correction of lens vignetting, which tends to brighten up the image as whole, rather than just the corners. Applying the lens profile up front will hurt when you carry out any local adjustments or healing whereas any fine tuning of overall tonal balance on an uncorrected image will be screwed up when vignette correction kicks in. So, which hurts your workflow more slow brush performance or having to re-edit tonal balance?

When will Lightroom have a profile for the Parrot Bebop Drone for lens correction?

Just wondering if and when Lightroom will add a lens correction profile for the Parrot Bebop Drone.

The Parrot Bebop Drone camera and lens is not likely to be supported by Adobe.
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html
It appears to use a fisheye lens and in-camera processing or provided software to rectilinear "correct" the image. What specifically are you trying to correct with the LR Lens Profile tool? This will help us provide other suggestions to accomplish your objectives.

Lens corrections in PSE raw

I cannot determine whether lens corrections work in ACR 6.4 using Elements 9. I know the lens correction tab is not available - but does that mean no lens corrections are applied at all - or does it simply mean I cannot manipulate the correction beyond the default provided in ACR?

ACR will use whatever the ACR default is for the specific camera the raw file is from. I say this because with ACR 7, at least, you can enable Auto-CA (a manual lens correction) as the default for a particular camera when using ACR with PSE10, by editing the ACR camera-defaults file with a text editor.
Here is what I did on Windows 7 to enable Auto-CA for my brother who does not use LR nor PS, only PSE:
1) Open a new RAW image for the camera you are wanting to affect the settings of in PSE/ACR that has never had any edits done.
2) Go to the Camera Calibration tab in ACR (a black camera icon) and change the Process Version to 2012—this will update the camera-defaults file to have PV2012 values which include the Auto-CA. You can skip this step if you are using an older version of PSE.
3) Click the 3-dots-three-lines icon at the right of where it says Camera Calibration, and choose Save New Camera Raw Defaults from the bottom of the menu that pops up. This step will create a or update the camera-specific ACR-defaults file for your computer user.
4) Exit ACR with Cancel, and Exit PSE.
5) Using Windows Explorer, browse to the following folder under your user folder: c:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Defaults\
The AppData folder is hidden so you may need to type this part into Explorer’s address bar.
6) In the Defaults sub-folder there should be one or more files named: Default_somehexdigits.XMP.
7) Open each of these XMP files and find the one that matches the camera the raw file was from. The value of the crs:KeyString attribute is the camera name.
8) Further down in this XMP file, look for several lens-correction-specific attributes and change them to be the following:
       crs:LensProfileEnable=”1”
       crs:AutoLateralCA=”1”
       crs:LensProfileSetup=”LensDefaults”
The other parameters for Vignetting and Perspective are for manual adjustments and you don’t want to set these other than “0” for your defaults although you can set them for an individual image by editing its XMP file.
9) Save the XMP file.
10) Start up PSE and open a new RAW file and see that the lens-distortion and Lateral-CA has been corrected as much as the auto-correction can do.

Accuracy of Lens Correction in LR3 or 4

Hi! I recently bought my Fuji X10 und downloaded LR4 (beta). Im quite new to LR & RAW, but learning fast.
Since there is no LCP for the X10 available yet, I'm doing lens correction manually. But the manual correction is quite limited, especially for the 28mm wide angle distortion of the X10.
My efforts result in almost perfect horizontal & vertical lines in the center, but especially the horizontal lines spread towards the edge.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4978642/Bildschirmfoto%202012-01-21%20um%2014.37.01.png
Now I would like to know, if a later available LCP would correct this further and straighten all lines? Hoping not to need Photoshop to do the job.
THX for any comments.
Oliver

Manual lens correction model is limited and only account for lower order distortion terms. The distortion used in the LCP is more powerful and can account for higher order distortion terms. You can build your own custom lens profiles using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lensprofile_creator.html. Or see if others have built and shared the same lens profile using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader.

Auto Lens Correction?

Is it really necessary to perform lens correction manually on every image in Lightroom4? I have checked the enable box and also included lens correction in my set up file. It seems to me that when photos are downloaded or even after they are downloaded the lens correction should be automatic across the board, especially since I primarily use only three Canon L lenses for 80% of my shooting. Yet, no matter whatI do, I cannot get the correct lens recognition and adjustment automatically and am forced to do each photo one at a time which is seriously time consuming. Suggestions and solutions would be very much appreciated. And, yes, I have read Adobe set up instructions, etc. but there does not seem to be any description of how to accomplish this. I am using DNG files.

No, it is not necessary to do this individually. You can do it automatically in two ways.
One is to use a custom camera default. You turn on "Enable Profile Corrections" for 1 image, then choose Set Default Settings... from the Develop menu. Then all future images will have the Enable Profile Corrections box enabled by default (and hence profile-based lens corrections). This is what I do.
A second way is to use a Develop preset (in which the Enable Profile Corrections box is enabled), and choose that when you Import (in the Import dialog).

Canon 5D Mark III profile not found in Lens correction filter in PhotoShop CS6

I'm unable to find a profile for my Canon 5D Mark III within the PS CS6 lens correction filter. In fact, Canon isn't even available as a camera make option within the Search Criteria box, nor are any canon lenses. When I click the Search Online button, the prompt reads "No online profiles found". Thankfully, I have no problem within Lightroom 4 (the Mark III and lenses are recognized)-- however, I'd really like to be able to use the new Adaptive Wide Angle Lens filter within CS6, which needs the camera's EXIF data to function correctly. I'm using a new iMac OS X.7
Thanks in advance for any help that you may have to offer.

So that makes me wonder if Lightroom keeps its own Lens Correction folder and if so,perhaps you can copy its Canon folder to Photoshop CS6's lens correction folder.
If you still cannot find it,you can create your own custom profile or download it if it's already been posted.
This article should direct you to the profiler and downloader software. You will need to install Adobe Air to use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader.

Lens correction for Hasselblad V series lenses

Lightroom does not provide lens correction for Hasselbald V series lenses, e.g. Carl Zeiss Planar 2,8/80. Hasselblad Phocus program does but Lightroom ignores Phocus metadata in FFF files imports. Is there any posssibility to achieve lens correction for these lenses in Lightroom? Thanks a lot in advance for help.

Here's a list of the currently supported lenses: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html
If your lenses aren't supported, you can check the Lens Profile Downloader to see if anyone else has created a profile, or you can create your own using the Lens Profile Creator. You'll find the downloads for those here: http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#resources

Lens corrections : auto-correction for rectangular subjects

I have used lens corrections manual "vertical"+"horizontal"+"rotate" sliders
to render rectangular paintings shot off-axis (transform trapezoids into rectangles).
Very cool - but time consuming !
My request is an auto-correction for rectangular subjects :
set rectangular mode, click pointer on each corner (4), hit enter and "voila" :
"vertical"+"horizontal"+"rotate" sliders auto-adjust !
(I think there's only one solution to the problem)
Do I have any support ?

Just for "fun",
take an off-center picture of a rectangular poster
and monitor how long it takes to get a good enough
rectangular view in LR3 (cropped).
Can be played with friends... !

Lens correction profile (or planned) for Samyang 24mm f/3,5 TS?

hi all,
Is there a lens correction profile (or planned) for Samyang 24mm f/3,5 TS?
thank you for reply

I don't believe Adobe has provided lens profiles for any tilt-shift lens. There are simply too many possible combinations of settings that affect distortion and vignetting. In addition I believe this lens does not include the aperture setting in the image file EXIF data, which is required for proper correction of vignetting.
You have two possible options:
1) Use the Adobe Lens Profile Creator to create lens profiles for each shooting aperture. You'll need to record or remember your shooting aperture to use them, since there is no 'Aperture' EXIF data. A separate lens profile will need to be created for each each shooting aperature, shift, and tilt setting combination that you will be using. I would try to keep the combinations to a minimum.
2) Use the LR Lens Corrections> Manual> Distortion and Lens Vignetting controls to create Develop presets for specific lens aperture settings. When using the lens tilt or shift function you may also need to include a Graduated filter(s) with Exposure compensation, since the vignetting will not be symmetrical (i.e. light fall-off in direction of tilt & shift). Keep in mind that the lens distortion may also become assymetrical when using tilt or shift.
So you can see the complexity of trying to create a lens profile for tilt-shift lens.

Applying Lens Corrections Across Entire Import

When I choose an image, one of the first things I always do is apply lens corrections. In 99% of the cases, I don't have to tweak these. I'm shooting with multiple camera bodies, and an import normally happens from hard disk, but it would be wonderful if during the import Lightroom could apply the lens corrections that correspond to the lens/camera body used for each image imported.
A preset seems like it would have to know or assume the camera body/lens combination in advance. That's why I've initially ruled presets out. Do I have this right or would a preset honor the camera/lens combinations from image to image?
Thanks,
Steve

I agree with everything stated here, but use a workflow that may work better for you. I reset my lens profile default settings to 0% Distortion, 100% C Aberration, and 50% Vignetting, and then select 'Lens Profile Corrections' as a part of each camera body's default Develop settings (Develop>Set Default Settings>Update To Current Settings).
Here's my rationale based on processing 1,000s of images in LR shot with numerous single focal length, wide angle zoom and telephoto zoom lenses:
- Distortion is normally only visible in pictures that contain distinct straight line objects. My Canon 17-40mm L lens has fairly high barrel distortion at 17mm on my full frame 5D MKII, but I rarely see it in critical architectural shots. When I do apply 100% distortion correction with this lens at 17mm, the objects near the frame edge and corners become noticeably stretched or elongated. In addition these "corrected areas will be cropped from the picture where they now extend outside the original frame. You will lose part of your picture image and reduce the resolution of the file slightly. In the vast majority of the pictures shot with many different lenses I prefer 0% Distortion correction as my default starting point.
- Chromatic Aberration correction using the LR Profile Correction setting at 100% works very well for all my lenses, with no redeeming visual side effects or need to change it on individual images.
- Vignetting varies greatly from lens to lens and by focal length, but I haven't found a single image that benefits from using a 100% Vignetting setting. You should also be aware that even the very best extreme wide angle lenses (24mm and less on full frame, 15mm and less on 1.6 crop) usually exhibit significant vignetting, and image softness in the corners due to uncorrected astigmatism, coma and field curvature. A 100% Vignetting setting will correct the vignetting at the expense of making the corner softness much more apparent. For all of my lenses and bodies I prefer a default Vignetting setting of 50% as a starting point. I only adjust those images that still have visible vignetting on an "as needed" basis.
Your mileage may vary!

CS4 Lens correction filter/grid & color

In Distort>Lens Correction filter, the default grid is 16 and the color gray. Is there any way to change that so it stays to what you choose?
Everytime I change it, it changes back to the default settings when I use it again. How do you get your own settings to stick? Is it possible....what's the trick? I can't seem to find the preferences for this...if they even exist.

I think so..thanks you for sharing

Manual Lens Correction in Lightroom 4

The Manual Lens Correction sliders in Lightroom 4 seem completely useless. They aren't working the same as they do in Lightroom 3. Instead of being able to fix keystoning of images, now the horizontal and vertical sliders just stretch or distort photos. Is this a bug? If not, is it possible to go back to the functionality from LR3? If this isn't possible, I'm probably going to switch back to Lightroom 3, since this is one of the program's most useful features.

Lee Jay wrote:
... This functionality hasn't changed at all for me - it works exactly as before.
I think so, too.
See my example in the feedback forum demonstrating the different effect of the manual transformation sliders depending on the angle of view: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/i_would_love_automation_in_the_lens_ correction_manual_panel : There is an automatic aspect ratio correction, and for photos taken with a rather small angle of view, this is mostly a stretch/distort. Which is totally correct IMHO (and hasn't changed since LR3).
P.S. I don't know which angle of view LR assumes for photos w/o information about focal length and sensor size (probably 50mm focal length and 35 mm film format ("full format") sensor.
