Lightroom 4 lens profile

Lightroom 4 lens profile list does not include the Canon Power Shot SX 50. Does Adobe have a lens profile for this camera?

The Powershot SX 50 HS camera has a built-in profile that is always on so you cannot see it in any list, but it's there. The newer versions of the Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop CC will show information about any built-in profiles. There's no way to see this information in LR at the moment:

Looking for lightroom lens profile for tamron lens

I am using lightroom 5 at work and shot some images with a canon 5d2 body with tamron 24-70 2.8 vc and tamron 70-200 2.8 vc lense. According to the note below, both lens are supported since lightroom 4.1. However I can not find the profile of these two lens on lightroom 5. Does anyone how I can bring the profile back in? Thanks.

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

Samsung 16-50mm Lightroom Lens Profile missing

Afternoon
I have a Samsung NX-3000 Camera with bundled 16-50MM lense which came with a free copy of Lightroom 5. My question is - there doesn't seem to be a lens profile for this particular lense, nor can I find one on the web. When I click on the list of manufacturer "Makes" under lens correction profiles, Samsung is not listed.
Any ideas folks?

Lens profiles for mirrorless cameras are built-in and cannot be turned off so there is nothing in a dropdown list to select. Are you seeing significant distortions or just wondering why the lens is not shown in the list of profiles that can be turned on and off?

Lightroom Lens Profile issue ...

I know that my particular Tamron lens (SP 70-300 Di USD) is supported in ACR. Why, when in Developer, when I select Lens Corrections and select Tamron does it default to the wrong model, specifically to Tamron SP Di 28-75?

Thank you Victoria, that was very helpful. I am new LR user and learning. The more I get to know about the program the more I like it and the more I am motivated and impatient to learn functionality. This one turned out to be pretty basic; I was editing jpegs. With jpegs, in Develop all the Tamron ( et al) lens profiles are not available. When I switched to raw, they were all there and - yes - I can save them.

Why the lens profile list can't show ALL lens profiles items from "LensProfiles 1.0" folder?

When I add a new lens profile - Samyang 14mm f2.8 - .lcp file into the "LensProfiles > 1.0" folder, I appear there are many lens profile items can't show in the Lightroom lens profiles list.
Please tell me how can I add these items into the LR lens profiles list........... thanks!!!

Sorry my bad, should have put.
Your custom Camera Raw & Lens Profiles should be installed to the User folders…
Lightroom 5 no longer uses the shared ProgramData (Windows) / Application Support (Mac) folders for Camera or Lens Profiles. Instead, it stores the built-in profiles with its program files.
When you create camera or lens profiles, they must be stored in the user locations listed below. If you previously stored custom profiles in other locations, you’ll need to move them to these user folders, otherwise Lightroom won’t be able to find them.
Windows—C: \ Users \ [your username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ CameraRaw \ CameraProfiles \
Mac—Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /
For the lens profiles, substitute the LensProfiles folder for the CameraProfiles folder.
The camera and lens profile file extensions are:
.dcpr—camera profile recipe file used for creating/editing a profile in the DNG Profile Editor
.dcp—camera profile
.lcp—lens profile

Lightroom Bug: with GoPro Hero4 Silver Lens Profile, crop settings do not sync properly in Lightroom 5.7.1 when Constrain To Warp is checked

I was having a bit of difficultly in getting crop settings to properly sync in Lightroom 5.7.1 (running on OS X 10.10.1) when Constrain to Warp was checked. This appears to be a bug in the latest version(s) of Lightroom that include(s) the GoPro Hero4 Silver Lens Profile settings. I'm working with a lot of files from a GoPro Hero4 Silver camera shot in the time-lapse / interval timer mode. All of them are horizontal with the same resolution (and dimensions). I've tried various sequences to get this to work in terms of using Auto-Sync, resetting the settings on all images except one and then copy and pasting settings, etc, though the crop is not properly syncing regardless of what I do.
Here's are instructions of how to duplicate this issue (there are some extra details/steps here, though this should be clear enough to produce the same result):
     1. in the Develop settings for a single selected image, go to Lens Corrections, click to Enable Profile Corrections (in the Profile tab), and then pick the GoPro Hero4 Silver Edition (Adobe Profile) if it is not automatically chosen for you (if you are using files from a Hero4 Silver camera). After this, click on the Manual tab, and set the Scale setting to 76. (as you will see, you now have the full horizontal width of the image that was getting cropped off, though you do see white around the edges that have been warped/shaped to correct the fisheye distortion)
     2. Press the R key (or click on the Crop Overlay tool just below the histogram). Change the Aspect option to Custom. Click to unlock the lock next to it (this seems to re-lock after setting to custom even if it was locked before). Place a checkmark next to the Constrain To Warp option. (At this point, you'll see the image gets cropped back to an approximately 4:3 ratio and the full horizontal width is not included in the cropped area) Click the upper right most corner of the crop area and drag as much to the right and top as it lets you go. Do the same for the lower left corner, dragging it as far to the bottom left as you can go. (Now, you will see that your cropped area is the maximum rectangular width and height you can select without getting any of the excessive white area) Click the Close button (or press R again) to leave the crop overlay tool.
     3. Press G to go back to the grid of images. Make sure the image you just adjusted the settings for is the only one selected. Right click on it, go to Develop Settings, and click Copy Settings. Click Check All on the window that appears and then click Copy.
     4. De-select the image you were working on. Select multiple other images in the grid. Right click on one of these, go to Develop Settings, and click Paste Settings. (at this point, you will see their aspect ratio has become more panoramic than the 4:3 aspect ratio the images previously were)
     5. De-select these images. Select one of these image, and then press D to go to the Develop settings for this image. Press R to go to the Crop Overlay tool. Here you will see the bug where the crop was not properly copied over from the first image. The selected area is smaller than the full width and height available to crop.
It seems that the bug is that Lightroom is only copying the aspect ratio (and the other settings), but not the actual crop selection.
I just thought of a workaround that I've tested and can confirm works (and will also work in a slightly different workflow than above). In step 1 above, for the Model (and Profile), manually pick the "GoPro Hero4 Black Edition" or the "GoPro Hero3-Silver Edition". If using the "Hero3-Silver" setting, the Scale (also in step 1 above) need only be set to 79 (rather than 76 for the Hero4 profiles). By picking one of these Lens Profiles and doing everything else the same as the other steps above, the crop settings do copy and paste properly. This does also appear to work properly when selecting the "GoPro Hero3-White Edition" Lens Profile, with a Scale setting of 75, which yields a slightly more rectilinear image (with a wider aspect ratio -- almost, but not quite 16:9).
While this isn't too big of deal as it does work by picking one of the other lens profiles (and the Hero4 Black Edition profile appears to make the same exact correction to the image), this was incredibly frustrating last night to notice that some files had the proper horizontal field of view / crop and others didn't, and other users may experience this or not even notice their crop is not copied properly (as, depending on one's composition and image, it's not extremely obvious with such a wide view).
I hope this discovery helps someone else and provides feedback for Adobe to correct this issue in the next version of Lightroom 5.
On a separate, additional note for Adobe: Please allow the crop overlay tool to "crop" an image to a size that is larger than the original dimensions of the image. This would allow for one to retain maximum original sharpness in the center of the image when using the Lens Profile tool to correct, or "de-fish" a lens, without having to scale the image down with the Scale option on the Manual tab of the Lens Corrections settings. For example, when I do the above process selecting the Hero3-White Edition profile, my final image dimensions are 3840 by 2257 pixels, reducing the size of the image in the center by 25%. If the tool allowed one to crop/scale a larger image size, and I kept the Scale option of the Lens Corrections settings at 100 rather than 75, my final image dimensions would be 5120 by 3009 pixels (larger than the 4000 by 3000 pixel dimensions of the original image which the tool now limits me to). Yes, the edges would be a little softer but the center would retain the original detail. (this is essentially what the Calculate Optimal Size button found in the Hugin open source software does, when using it on a single image for lens transformations/corrections)

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?

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,
Mike

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?!

After upgrade to lightroom 4.3, my canon 7D is not showing up in lens profile correction

I think this happened after upgrading to lightroom 4.2, but I am not sure as I haven't used Lens profile correction in some time.
When I enable the "Enable profile corrections" checkbox in "lens corrections" The Make and model of the lens is recognized, but the profile field has only 2 optoins, "canon EOS 1D MK III" and "Adobe". It does not have any other options including the EOS 7D that I use. Tried uninstalling and installing again, that didn't help.
I found in the forum that for Win 7, lens profile is supposed to be stored in "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0", in my case the LensProfiles directory does not exist. There is a CameraProfiles directory(C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles).
How do I solve this?

There is nothing wrong with your lens profiles.
The issue is that you are adjusting a JPG not a raw file. When adjusting raw files the camera model is not listed with the profile because it doesn’t matter and all of them say Adobe as their source for Canon cameras at least, but when adjusting JPGs the camera may have done certain adjustments internally so it does matter and is why you see the wrong lens-distortion occurring when choosing the 5D Mark III profile with your 7D JPGs.
For the record, I have profiles in both the locations mentioned: under Program Files\...\CameraRaw and under ProgramData\...\Lightroom 4.x. This makes sense because I have both Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom installed. The ones under Lightroom are all dated 12/2012 while the ones under Camera Raw are mostly dated 2/2012 with some from 11/2012 and other dates. The profiles are probably the same, but the Camera Raw ones retain the date of the original profile creation whereas the Lightroom ones all get updated to the same date. Lens profiles can also be installed with the DNG Converter, although I'm not sure which of the two locations those install to.

Import lens profile into Lightroom 4.3

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

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

Removing Photoshop Elements 9 caused missing lens profiles in Lightroom 3.3

After my trial on Photoshop Elements 9 expired I removed it from my Windows Vista system. The next time I started Lightroom 3.3 I tried to apply a Canon lens profile to some new images and the profile was missing, not only was it not on the list, none of the 862 images taken with this lens had the profile applyed to them anymore. I tried to repair the installation and it failed saying I was missing components. I then tried to upgrade to RC 3.4 & it failed with the same message. I finally thought it might have been caused by the removal of Photoshop Elements so I went to the restore point that it did prior to removal. Now I have the lens profile back that was missing the Canon EF28-135mm profile as well as to the other 862 images. My question is should there be anything else I should look for to see if it is missing or damaged? Thanks - Larry

Larry,
The common part between LR and PSE is the Camera Raw part (ACR). It's settings are contained in 2 different locations:
1) General ACR configuration files:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw
This directory contains lens and camera profiles installed with LR
2) User related configuration files:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw
This directory usually contains:
Downloaded/created lens profiles
ACR defaults (like ACR cache size, any defaults set in LR)
Downloaded/created camera profiles
You might want to check the content of those 2 locations. One other alternative would be to uninstall and re-install LR, which should take care of the factory supplied profiles.

How to use lens profile from Lightroom 5 in Lightroom 4

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

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

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.

Photoshop Lens profiles in Lightroom?

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

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

Lens Profiles in Lightroom 3

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

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