LR 5.3 Lens Corrections have disappeared

All of a sudden, nearly all profiles have disappeared. I first noticed this with my Sony RX1, when I went to apply the profile correction, and there was nothing. Usually the program identified the camera automatically.
When I looked at old pictures, it was the same, nearly. If I used "custom" then it would give me only Nikon and/or Sony, but only one lens for each camera, not relevant to what I had used to take the photograph. For some pictures it would recognize the lens, but it would not give me options to change it (if I wanted to).
This is strange behavior.
Is there a setting perhaps that I changed inadvertently?
thanks

No, that's not it either. Lens Corrections appears in the right panel, between "Detail" and "Effects".
It's just that when I click on the "make" under the Lens profile, all I get is Nikon and Sony (and not the other brands I used to see) and under model there is only one lens if I remember correctly...
This is frustrating, and it will be more so if it turns out that I did something silly!!
thanks

The profile is applied automatically. Therefore, nothing for you to.

Lens profiles have disappeared

I am using Lightroom 3.3 on Windows 7 64 bit. My lens profiles have disappeared. Can someone tell me how to get them back?
Thanks

Please run the LR 3.3 installer again. It should install all of the lens profiles again.

My Lightroom lens corrections need correcting. Is this normal?

I have bought myself my 1st DSLR camera (Nikon D3100) as i now want to shoot Raw instead of Jpeg. I've always shot Jpegs in the past with my old cameras. The in-camera Jpegs from my new Nikon don't show any lens distortion. However, when i open the Raw (NEF) files in Lightroom and tick 'enable profile correction' in the Lens corrections section, the distortion correction seems too much and i have to manually adjust it every time.
The lens profile comes from Lightroom itself (not from other users), & so this doesn't seem quite right to me that the correction is somewhat wrong each time.
I'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong or that maybe its even normal to have to adjust the correction further yourself each time (and perhaps most users have to do that too)?
I've included 3 Jpegs of the same image to demonstrate the problem (detailed below):
1) The export from Lightroom with the lens distortion corrected by Lightroom (note the straight red line).
2) An exported Jpeg version of the uncorrected Nef from Lightroom (to show the full original lens distortion)
3) The original in-camera Jpeg (obviously the distortion corrected by the camera)
I've drawn straight red lines on to the images to demonstrate the differences.
Any ideas?
^ above image is a Lightroom exported Jpeg (from NEF) with lens correction ON (note the red line along the top of the roof)
^ above image is a Lightroom exported Jpeg (from NEF) with NO lens correction yet, thus showing original distortion.
^ above image is the ORIGINAL in-camera JPEG showing no distortion at all (note the red line along the top of the roof).
P.s i've taken different shots too and the problem is the same for them all (at least at 18mm anyway).
Additional information:
The Nikon D3100 has an APS-C sensor (I'm not sure if that's significant or not). Also the lens described in the profile correction matches the one from my camera.

Hi Paul,
I'm really not sure exactly what DxO outputs when you choose DNG:
It's not raw data, yet preserves some ability to do raw things in Lightroom, like white balance and camera profiles.
I dunno about pulling from highlight/shadow "reserves", but note: it's different than a DNG-wrapped tif or jpeg, it may be able to pull from the highlight/shadow reserves as can be done via the DNG used for smart previews - I just don't know.
trshaner: do you know for sure that a DxO DNG hard-clips shadows/highlights, or are you just "extrapolating/assuming/educatedly-guessing"?
Regardless, DxO has some auto shadow/highlight recovery (for those extreme black/white tones) that is quite good - don't sell it short.
Google 'dxo linear dng highlights.' Here's one that supports what I said:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/663428
I've tried using Canon's DPP for the same purpose with TIFF output AND with DPP's highlight recovery. I can't get the same highlight recovery with the TIFF as compared to the raw inside LR with PV2012.

I still think about it when Lr's lens corrections are wonky. But my problem with Lr's lens corrections have more to do with vignetting than distortion (because I mostly shoot nature, not buildings...), and I can add manual correction and/or a dab of paint to the automatic corrections, which saves me the complication of front-ending via DxO. If distortion is your primary concern, consider balancing auto with manual distortion corrections (I've not done much of that, so no guarantee...). Also, there's the upright feature in Lr5...
What's wrong with simply changing the Lens Profile 'Amount' settings from 100 if a specific lens profiles is "over-correcting" or "under-correcting? Don't forget most zoom lenses have a "complex" moustache shaped distortion, which is NOT easily corrected with LR's Manual Distortion control. You can certainly try both, but there's no way to save the Manual Distortion "correction" setting to a specific lens profile's defaults.

PPS - DxO's purple fringe tool will get the fringe out without the artifacts of Lr's global defringer, however it may also take away real image color sometimes, and can't be done locally, so one may ultimately get better results in Lr if willing to spend a while painting local defringing.
I've never seen any artifacts caused by the LR Defringe tools (see image posted of Canon 8-15mm Fisheye lens CA), but you do need to be very careful concerning the actually settings used. After using the eyedropper tool to sample a fringe area I fine tune the settings to eliminate desaturation of areas that have similar color as the fringe area. Once you have the correct settings save it to a Develop preset for manual application. For example with my Canon 8-15mm F4L Fisheye zoom I have two (2) Develop presets of 8-12mm (Purple 2, 30/55) and 13-15mm (Purple 4, 30/55). There is no need to use Local controls with Defringe if you follow my suggestions for manually tuning the settings to prevent desaturation in like colored areas. IMHO the LR CA and Defringe tools are darn near perfect when you use them correctly!

LightRoom Lens Correction ... huge list (of some of which I have never heard!), but still no mention of Zuiko (Olympus) lenses in the drop-down, even in my 4th update: version 5.6. Anyone know why Olympus has been ostracised in this application?

I am now using a new Nikon, but I still have thousands of images captured with my (very good) Olympus E500, but still frustrated that its lenses do not appear in the drop-down list in the lens correction module ... not even in the latest update, version 5.6

What camera? Is it a mirrorless? Most of those have lens profiles that are built-in and always on so there’s nothing in the list.

Do I need to use lens correction in lightroom 5 if I have it enabled in camera ?

Do I need to use lens correction in Lightroom 5 develop module it I have it enabled in camera ? (Canon 5D3)

Thanks very much John, I noticed when I applied it in LR5 it made a difference, but I guess what I was asking was it being applied twice, and as I shoot in raw you have answered my question, thank you so much.

Your camera will only apply lens correction (if switched on) to JPEGs, not to RAW files. Clearly you do not want to apply it twice.

Has RX-100 Lens correction disappeared again? post RAW Camera Update 4.09

On a fairly new imac running 10.8.5 and iphoto 11 (9.4.3) A further RAW camera Update seems to have returned an issue with a Sony RX100, and lens correction has dissappeared.

RAW support 5.03 is now available and it reports to correct this issue

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.

Lr4 Available Lens Correction Profiles

Hi, I recently purchased LR4 - 4.2 (as a download) and installed in onto my PC, running Windows 7, 64bit. I cannot get the "Lens Corrections" tool, to work correctly. When editing images, the lens correction tool, only displays a small sample size (like 4 or 6 lenses approx.), of lenses to choose from, however (only once) it displayed a complete lists of lenses to suit my Nikon D800E, including the lens profile I required at the time, being the Zeiss 50mm f1.4, so I am aware that Lr4 is capable of facilitating my lens profile requirements. I have previously seen a comprehensive list displayed within Lr4, but it had disappeared? I am unable to solve this issue myself-sorry. This is frustrating, can you please help me rectify this issue. In the mean time, I have resorted to using the ePaperPress product, PT Lens-which has helped me immensely.. Thank you.

The Zeiss 50mm F1.4 has very low distortion and virtually no vignetting at F2 and above. I doubt you will see much correction using a lens profile with it except perhaps at F1.4. Just make sure you have 'Remove Chromatic Aberration' checked under the 'Color' tab as your LR 'Default' setting, which is lens independent.
As Lee Jay pointed out you probably saw more profiles (only once) because it was a NEF raw format file. Unless you have a good reason to shoot only in JPEG format with your Nikon D800, I'd set it to shoot NEF raw files or raw +JPEG. If interested there is a lively discussion on this very topic:

5D mark III lens correction problem with dark shots

Just found a new irritating problem with 5D mark III and Lightroom 4 (currently on 4.2). I shot quite a few shots in the dark over the weekend using high ISO (6400-16000), with EF 24-70 f/2.8L. If I enable the lens profile correction on the dark shots, the corners of the images all develop incredibly strong purple haze that renders the image unusable. Not enabling the correction allows me to use the images just fine. Also images that were shot with similar settings but were shot inside, with more light, don't have the purple fringing issue. Makes me wonder if this is some incompatibility between Canon's high iso noise reduction system and Lightroom's RAW processing when it does lens corrections.
Anyone else seen this?

Sulka Haro wrote:
Replicated the shot under a heavy blanket -> yes, the exposure looks the same. Whatever is causing the corner to be noisier than rest of the exposure doesn't seem to be caused by light.
At that very high of ISO you are actually seeing small differences in the sensor chip temperature due to heat from the electronics in the camera. The small amount of increased noise you're seeing in the corner at ISO 25600 is insignificant.
Sulka Haro wrote:
Interestingly enabling long exposure compensation doesn't seem to do very much to really improve the shots at these sensitivities. When enabled, the exaggerated corner noise does disappear, but also it looks like some areas in the middle of the exposure become more noisy with non-uniform noise blotches appearing instead of fairly uniform slightly higher noise pattern.
I haven't needed to use Long Exposure Noise Reduction with my 5D MKII, so have no firsthand experience. My guess is that at very high ISO settings (above 6400) a lot of what your are seeing is random noise or "shot noise," which changes from frame to frame. This causes the dark frame subtraction to "fail" in the way you are seeing. Just a guess.
There is an excellent 5D MKIII review that compares noise reduction with several other high-end camera models. The reviewer also states,
"The 5D Mark III's ISO 51200 and 102400 remain a complete mess even with strong noise reduction applied - You have to be desperate to use these settings. ISO 12800 and 25600 remain very marginal for my uses. I always shoot in the lowest standard ISO setting that will allow me to get my desired shot, but begin to cringe when settings above ISO 3200 must be employed. Your standards and applications may be different."

Lens Correction Information

The lightroom lens correction information for my Canon 100-400L and 15-85 has disappeared. It was there last week, now its gone. Only changes I have made is I adjusted the micro focusing adjustments to the focal plane in the 7D camera on both of them. Since then, both lenses information in lightroom has disappeared even though the correct info shows iin lightroom on my screen in the file info displayed. Any help would be appreciated.

Always RAW. I never work with jpegs for the most part. I can pull up RAW files from a few days ago off of the same CF card/camera and they work and show all info. All files generated since then will not show any options to pick Canon and there are only a few lenses available, maybe 10-15 or so. You can click on "Auto" and then click on Canon and scroll the lists and neither the 100-400L or the 15-85 show as an option on the latest RAW files I view, but the do show on RAW files prior to a few days ago. Also, I have viewed metadata and it shows Canon 100-400L in lightroom.

Lens Corrections unavailable in Adobe Camera Raw 8.3

hello,
since i switched to photoshop CC (mac version), i am having constant problems with lens corrections in ACR 8.3. i am a professional photographer and i use various canon pro lenses that all exist as unique lens profiles already in photoshop and ACR's lens profile archives. when i open canon .CR2 files in adobe ACR 8.3, i encounter the message "unable to load lens profile" at the bottom right of dialog box and even though the correct lenses are identified, ACR cannot apply corrections (please see the attached visual). furthermore, this behavior happens to be sort of erratic, since it may sometimes decide to apply corrections without displaying the "unable to load lens profile" error message.
when i open the files into photoshop CC without being able to apply corrections, i try the "lens correction" menu within photoshop and it works. it is very cumbersome not to be able to do this at the ACR stage.
the ACR that came with photoshop CS 6 never had such problems and it corrected all the lenses that i had.
can you please help me to fix this issue ASAP, since this error makes me lose a lot of time in my workflow.
i also have photoshop CS6 installed in the same disk, could this have any effect?
best regards,
murat germen

Presumably you're shooting raw for everything, right, otherwise the issue can be that most raw-capable-camera's JPGs don't have lens profiles whereas raw files do, so profiles are found for raw images but not JPGs. The reverse is sometimes true, too, where a camera used to only have JPG output but now produces raw files. I believe the DJI Phantom Vision FC200 quadcopter camera is an example of such. The screenshot doesn't have enough of the ACR interface to see the name of the file.
Are the profiles that aren't found consistently the same lens or are they from various lenses that also have photos that work in ACR 8.3 at other times? And do the same photos that fail to have lens profiles load in ACR 8.3 at one point then work if you open them again, later? In other words does the intermittency seem to be tied to either the specific photos or the specific lenses or not? Specific photos could mean there is something corrupted in the photo. Specific lenses could mean that the lens profiles are missing, somehow, or inaccessible due to permission problems.
Is CS6 updated to the same ACR 8.3 version or is it older? If it is older then install the ACR 8.3 update for CS6. This will re-install the lens and camera profiles, again.
If CS6 is already updated to ACR 8.3, too, then install the DNG Converter 8.3, which also will install the profiles, again.
The DNG Converter can be found, here:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
If you can't figure it out, then uninstall PS-CC, log out of the CC Desktop app, log back in--so it sees that CC is missing, then re-download and install CC. This should reset ACR back to 8.0 or 8.1 after which you can install the ACR 8.3 update, again.

How to Save Camera Calibration and Lens Correction in Camera raw 6.1

I downloaded and installed the Camera Raw 6.1 release candidate. I open an image and set the camera calibration and the lens correction to auto for Nikon. I save these settings as new Camera raw defaults, but when I open other images, the changes were not made. How can I save these items as defaults?
Swila

Swila, were your "other images" previously edited in Camera Raw? I.e., do they already have saved image settings? The defaults that you save via the flyout menu will only apply to new images, or if you reset an existing image to the defaults. (e.g., choose "Camera Raw Defaults" from the flyout menu).
