LR 4.1 RC2 Chromatic Aberration Setting Missing

LR4.1 RC2 for Mac.
In the Develop Module under Lens Corrections, the CA option is no longer present. It was there in the previous RC. In the Sync Settings, it is a still a selectable option.

  • CS5 Chromatic aberration sliders missing

    CS5 camera raw, under lens correction tab, profile, no chromatic aberration slider. Under the manual tab, same thing. Do I need to download an update?
    Thanks,
    Vince

    Nope.  The controls have been removed on purpose in Camera Raw 6.7 and they're not coming back.
    Adobe thinks their automatic CA removal is better, even though examples have been shown where it's not.

    You are forgiven for thinking that every new version should be made more capable than its predecessor and make better quality images.   Apparently Adobe feels other factors (ease of use?) trump this.
    If you don't need new camera support it's possible you can revert your Camera Raw plug-in to version 6.6, which still has the controls.  It gets a bit geeky, but I can advise you further how to do that if you'd like.

    P.S., It's easy to show that the newer method doesn't always work as well.  Note this Canon 10-22 image including the moon near the upper-left corner as opened with Camera Raw 6.6 vs. 6.7.

  • The chromatic aberration checkbox that should be under lens corrections is missing

    The chromatic aberration check box that should be present under lens corrections is missing from my LR4 program, can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to get it back

    What version of LR4 are you using? There was a change made to the CA removal process in LR4.1, and the "Remove Chromatic Aberration" check box is now under the "Color" tab of the Lens Correction panel.

  • LR4.1 RC2 Remove Chromatic Aberration excellent, but slows display

    LR4.1 RC2 Remove Chromatic Aberration excellent,
    but slows down all processings of that image,
    even Navigator is crawling...
    Same for you ?

    I had unchecked Detail to see more precisely the effects of
    the new CA sliders.
    Should be easy to correct !
    Thanks Dorin.

  • Chromatic Aberration tools are missing...

    A few days ago I got a notification about a new Camera Raw update. I told it to go ahead and install it. After it was done I got back to work. That is when I noticed my Chromatic Aberration tools were gone. The tools for fixing lens distortion and everything were still there, just the chromatic tools were MIA. Is this just me, or is this something that was planned for some reason? I have checked and tried everything short of uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop and Bridge to fix it. Anyone else have this issue?
    Oh btw, I'm on a mac running Snow Leopard

    Look for an Auto-CA checkbox in the lens correction area.
    Lateral-CA is caused by the red, green, and blue channels having a slightly different size on the sensor.  This was fixed by the manual-CA sliders and is now fixed by the Auto-CA capability.
    Axial-CA is caused by the red, green, and blue channels focusing at slightly different points.  This will be fixed by defringing tools.

  • Canon HF R400 Chromatic Aberration and Blocking Zooming, Hard Time Focusing, LCD Display GUI

    An otherwise nice cam for the price point especially end-of-the model year. I'm going to keep for primarily shooting youtube collectibles in a controlled environment of clamp lights with diffusers and either Auto White Balance or 'P' mode.
    1. In my optical zoom tests (it's nice there's four speed options. I use number 3. The cam exhibits a lot of chromatic aberration which is purple, white ,or even green fringing around the subject matter. I shot of a telephone pole transformer box in bright light, the sky behind it, tree branches and snow on hedges in winter.
    2. On a couple occasions when I zoomed in from about estimated 100-150yds the sky exhibited large blocky pixels for a second. But if I took it to an amusement park to shoot roller coasters I'd hold my breath for both reasons.
    3. It has a hard time adjusting focus when zoomed in even from a close 1-6ft distance to record detail of collectibles or leaves on bushes etc.
    4. The amount of display items on the LCD GUI is too much. Even the cheap Samsung F90 has a button to turn it off. Am I missing something. I read the 197pg PDF manual. Is there a way to turn off or at least reduce the number of items I don't need to see in order to actually shoot a video/picture? In still life tests. I had to take photos with the cam. Look at them. Then adjust. Then repeat. Just to see the composition. Kind of like in the day when pro photographers would take Polaroids prior to the film shot.
    Note: If I'm allow to post youtube links or at least the titles of the videos to demonstrate in the near future when I upload examples of the Likes and Dislikes of my purchase I'd like to know from a Canon moderator (thanx in advance).

    Hi ElectroT2!
    Thanks for posting.
    Chromatic aberration is not always something that can be completely eliminated.  It most often appears when shooting a subject in the foreground that highly contrasts with the background  Chromatic aberration is caused by a lens having a different refractive index for different wavelengths of light.  Because each hue in the spectrum is not focused at a single point, colored halos or fringing appears.  There are two types of chromatic aberration:  longitudinal, where different wavelengths are focused at different distances from the lens, and lateral, where different wavelengths are focused at different positions on the focal plane.
    Are you zooming optically or digitally when you see the "blockiness" in the image?  If digital zoom is being used, it would explain why you see it.  Digital zoom appears as the light blue area of the zoom bar.  When you zoom digitally, the image is basically cropped and expanded more and more as you zoom.  Because of this, the image quality will deteriorate the more you zoom in.  You can select the type of zoom used in the settings menu under [Zoom Type].
    Autofocus may not work well on the following subjects:
    - Reflective surfaces
    - Subjects with low contrast or without vertical lines
    - Fast moving subjects
    - Through wet windows
    - Night scenes
    You can always adjust the focus manually by selecting [ Focus] in the menu.  You can then touch a subject that appears inside the frame, then touch and hold to adjust focus.  When it is focused where you want it, then touch [ X ] to lock the focus.  Something that may help you is when you are focusing manually, you can touch inside the frame to automatically focus on that spot to help you with the adjustment process.
    As for the onscreen displays you are describing, they cannot be disabled so that only the subject appears on the LCD.  You can, however, keep them from being displayed when the camcorder is connected to an external monitor.  The setting is in the menu under the tab.  It is called [Output Onscreen Displays].

  • Better chromatic aberration repair than ACR? Plugin?

    I've suddenly (and sadly) become wise to the existence of chromatic aberration in my images. I'm finding that it's different from image to image - undoubtedly due to different lenses, zoom setting, etc.
    I've been using ACR's chromatic aberration fix to generally good effect, but since it's different from image to image, it's not possible to just save settings as a template to use with every image. It's not a LOT of work to tweak each image, but I was wondering whether there was any "miracle" CA-fixing plugin out there that I should know about. Similar to how Noise Ninja seems to do a better job with noise than Photoshop's built-in tools.
    Any recommendations?

  • How can I repair chromatic aberrations in PSE?

    Hello,
    how can I please repair chromatic aberrations (the edges around are red, green or violet colored, this might not be) of my Fujifilm Finepix A500, 5,1 MP? I have Photoshop Elements 8 and I can not find a button to remove the aberrations. Can you please tell it step by step. I have not so much experience with PSE 8. You can write to me in English, German or Czech language. Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely
    Lesnivila

    Lesnivila,
    I some cases you might be able to remove the aberration with a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. In this example, in the H/S saturation dialog box I selected red from the list and moved the Saturation slider all the way left. This desaturated most of the picture but I then filled the layer with black to restore the original.  Then I activated the Paint tool and painted with white over the red portion to restore the desaturation.
    I only painted the red on the sweater along the left portion of the table leg so that you can compare it to right portion.
    Note:  If you paint too far, for example onto the table leg, then undo it by painting with black to restore the original. If you initially set the foreground/background colors to their default black/white values, you can type "X" to toggle between black and white while painting.

  • How to quantify chromatic aberration?

    In Camera Raw, the chromatic aberration is specified as a integer in [-100,100], but I'm not sure about its quantitative meaning. For example, if I set red/cyan fringe to +100, how many percent will the red channel be larger than the other two channels?
    In www.photozone.de, CA is given as the number of pixels at the image borders. I guess the borders means the left and right borders in landscape orientation. For example, "2 pixels at the border" for a 3000x2000 image means 0.133% (2/1500). By the way, I don't think it is a good way to quantify CA because the same lens will thus have different CA value for different pixel density.
    In DCRaw, CA is directly specified as a enlargement ratio. Quoting from DCRaw manual: "-C red_mag blue_mag: Enlarge the raw red and blue layers by the given factors, typically 0.999 to 1.001, to correct chromatic aberration". It gives minimal ambiguity, and the same lens will have the same CA value no matter in full frame or APS-C, no matter in 8MP or 10MP.
    Come back to my question. I'm asking this because I already measured the CA of all my photos. Now I'm switching to Camera Raw, and want to make use of my old measurement. So I need a way to do the conversion.
    Thank you.

    Thanks everyone for your help. It is certainly a correction tool that Apple should build into Aperture. I'm aware of the suggested workarounds but as you can reduce CA in most other programs I would expect it in Aperture as well. I'll leave Apple a feature request for this. Thanks

  • Chroma Blur and Chromatic Aberration

    This question isn't about a problem, rather I'm looking for a comfirmation.
    According to reviews on my two lenses, they're supposed to suffer badly from CA, yet I can't see any evidence in Aperture. Apparently, the CA in these lenses is easily corrected via software.
    Adjusting Chroma Blur doesn't seem to do anything after import to reveal evidence of CA.
    Am I right in assuming that Aperture is correcting CA during RAW import and that setting Chroma Blur to zero won't reveal it?

    Another thought - sometimes what appears to be chromatic aberrations is actually an artifact of the sensor capture/decoding (see http://wiki.panotools.org/Chromaticaberration#What_it_isnot).
    So Aperture may be doing a better job of lessening that effect - otherwise often seen as purple blooming - than whatever the reviewers used when they did their testing.
    I'd stick with what you see with your camera, and your lens, rather than worrying about what any random third party reviewers might say.

  • Chromatic Aberration Removal in LR4 is terrible

    I used a manual fixed focal length penatx lens on my Canon 40D and it shows chromatic aerration in the raw file. In LR4 all you can do is check the option to remove chromatic aberration. LR4 did an awful job making it even worse. See before and after image below. The chromatic aberration should have manual controls to adjust it to one's liking. Red/Cyan and Blue/Yellow sliders should be complemented by a Green/Magenta slider in the manual section. Now that would be an improvement on LR3. I loathe chromatic aberration which is unavoidable in many cases. More control over it's removal is a definite must. LR4 has gone backwards. I don't want to have to fiddle with profiles etc to fix this. Just put the controls that were in LR 3 back and add a green/magenta slider please.

    I'll try the moire brush as suggested.
    I am trying to emphasise the point that the software should be moving forward. That means new tools or upgrades should avoid adding artifacts as much as possible and certainly upgrades to existing tools should not perform worse than the original tool. I have found an example here where it does with chromatic aberration removal where an artifact is formed.
    It's interesting that some of the commentary above almost suggests that chromatic aberration removal should be an adjustment brush. The user could then isolate the edges that he/she wants to remove the coloured fringes from. Then there should be the ability to choose which colour shifts are required red/cyan, blue/yellow, or green/magenta.
    It looks like the current tool may improve some edges while making others worse. If checking the choice of automatic aberration correction doesn't work - then one has to go to another external editor to fix the problem - not the most satisfactory result of an upgrade. I like the suggestion in another thread of having both the option of auto and manual control options - much like exposure control. Photographers like manual control of image enhancements.
    I have chosen to take pictures that have extreme aberrations to test the robustness of the tool. I have shot pictures with high contrast lighting, with older cheaper glass, and with the aperture wide open. I'll try to get some pictures to Eric as mentioned above.

  • Lr and NEF Chromatic Aberration

    Dear All,
    The more I look at (D700) NEFs in Lr, the more I think Lr does not do justice to them (note that I do not blame Adobe for this). Indeed, if I look at Lr's rendition of NEFs compared to the in-camera generated JPEGs, I see chromatic aberrations which are not present in the JPEG. For instance compare
    with
    Clearly, the top image exhibits much less chromatic aberration than the second. Now, the top image is the JPEG and the bottom one is the NEF. Clearly, Nikon's on-board chip knows more about rendering the raw image than Lr does. Anyone else seen this effect ?
    With the introduction of camera profiles in V2.4, Lr made a step in the right direction. Now the question is: When will Lr be able to do at least as well as Nikon's on-bord chips when it comes to chromatic aberration ? Couldn't Adobe "buy" Nikon's "secret" and get Lr up to top speed ?
    Thanks for your time and input, folks.

    Jepoma

    Sorry, but the camera generated jpg includes all of Nikon's in-camera processing.  There is no reason why a nef in LR should duplicate it exactly.  Since Nikon is perhaps the hardest core about making certain information proprietary, you are comparing apples and oranges, or more appropriately a raw apple to an apple pie made with a secret recipe.  From my perspective, LR will never do "as well" as the on board chip because you aren't seeing the results of the onboard chip anyway but rather the processed data from that chip.  Actually, the LR image is likely closer to the unprocessed data than the jpg. Personally, I don't like Nikon's in-camera processing (and have never been comfortable with the detail I am losing with Nikon jpgs), so I shoot exclusively raw and am happy to do all the adjustment in LR.
    As far as Adobe buying "the secrets" from Nikon, I just think that is a bit naive.  That assumes that Adobe is the stumbling block, when the reality is Nikon has pushed to keep things propietary and sells its own (lousy) software to take advantage of the propietary aspects.  BTW, of course you are blaming Adobe - LR is not a living being, it is a piece of software designed by the people at Adobe.  If it doesn't do what you want and you are comparing it unfavorably to the Nikon straight-from-camera jpg, you would appear to be attributing a deficiency to someone. Based upon the rest of the post that certainly would appear to be the producers of LR....

  • Edit in photoshop loses chromatic aberration corrections

    Hi
    I have a problem I have not noticed before... when I do a chromatic aberration correction in Lightroom, then do "Edit in Photoshop",  it opens in PS but the chromatic aberration is still there, uncorrected. It seems to be applying other corrections okay, just not the CA correction.
    If I export the image as a tiff, then open it in PS, the chromatic aberration correction looks good. See the images below.
    I have been using Lightroom for years but not in the last year. I don't have the memory I used to have so I keep thinking I am just doing something wrong. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Mitch,
    I have seen the same when working with Adobe photo editors and in my case it turned out there were multiple copies of the image, one flattened and one with the layers. I need to nail this one down so I will get on this it evening when I get some time. In the mean time, check and see if there is another copy with the layers intact.

  • Is there a chromatic aberration or purple fringing tool in PSE 10?

    The subject line basically says it all.  The chromatic aberration tool in Aperture doesn't do much for me.  Is there one in PSE 10?  Thank you.

    Well, PSE's implementation of ACR can help correct chromatic aberration somewhat.  Here's the original image from somegirl's web site:
    Using these settings:

    Not great, but better than I expected.

  • Chromatic Aberration Gone

    I don't know exactly at what point this happened, perhaps with the 4.1 update, but the Chromatic Aberration check box has disappeared from Lens Corrections panel. It isn't where it was a while back under the Profile tab; nor are the old fringe tools available under the Manual tab; the Defringe pup-up menu is also gone. What gives?
    I helped a friend upgrade from Lightroom 3 to 4 yesterday and found the same issues on here computer.
    What gives?

    Thanks, guys. I finally figured it out after some more tinkering. But the infor is not, unfortunately, in Scott Kelby's Lightroom 4 book, which was published before the change. If you can point me to any tutorials for the new version of the Defringe panel I'd appreciate it.
