LR5.4: Why does automatic lens correction profile no longer work for SONY NEX-5N?

Starting in LR5.4, if I attempt to apply automatic lens profile corrections, LR applies a profile for a Hasselblad LF 18-55 camera lens instead.
Formerly, in LR 5.3, the 'make' in the lens profile pane automatially matched the EXIF 'make' of the NEX-5N; namely, "Sony", and the correct lens profile was applied automatically.
In LR5.4, I must now manually select make = "Sony E" to appy a "setup=custom" profile before LR applies the correct lens profile. The minute I set 'make=Sony E', LR applies a profile that matches the lens in use: either the "Sony E 18-55mm F3.5-F5.6 OSS", the "Sony E 16mm F2.8 OSS" lens or the "Sony E 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS" lens that I use.
Another issue: I am not certain of this, but I swear the LR5.4 lens profile correction now *increases* pin-cushion image distortion, whereas it worked beautifully in LR5.3. (I should take a photograph of a grid to see if my impression is correct.) Are the lens profile corrections applied to a camera with EXIF make="Sony E" different from those applied to an EXIF make="Sony" (i.e., the NEX-5N)? If so, this is a shame, for it means LR no longer fully supports the NEX-5N.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
(I believe LR5.4 may have picked up on recent product line changes announced by SONY, wherein NEX will be marketed as Sony Alpha E cameras, and I imagine they will be changing the EXIF 'make' of new cameras to reflect this. However, that won't be changing the EXIF make of my NEX-5N.)

Why is that so and how can I get the proper lens profile automatically if the lens does have its own Adobe profile loaded?
Frustrated ...
Pick the correct lens manually then choose 'Save New Lens Profile Defaults' from Setup drop down menu. Lr should remember the lens and use it as the default in future. See screenshot below

Is it possible to use automatic lens correction profiles in Camera RAW using Extendscript?

I have developed Javascripts using Extendscript toolkit to help me process batches of files for creating time lapse videos, and
I would like to take advantage of the automatic lens correction profiles available in Adobe Camera RAW (I am using Adobe Photoshop CS6 64-bit), but in the CameraRAWOpenOptions, there is no property describing the automatic lens correction profiles. It seems there has got to be a way to automate the selection of the "Enable Lens Profile Corrections" box when opening camera RAW images. I am using Canon lenses, and the Adobe lens correction profiles work great, so I'd like to use them.
I am aware of the other way of doing this in Photoshop using File-->Automate-->Lens Correction, but this seems to work more slowly than using the lens corrections in Camera RAW.
Thanks.

You don't need to bother...just set your Camera Raw "Defaults" to include Enable Lens Profile Corrections and check the Auto CA correction. Then go to the ACR flyout menu and select Save New Camera Raw Defaults...Note: if you have your ACR preferences set to have seperate defaults based on camera serial number and ISO, you'll need to save out seperate defaults for each camera and ISO you use.

Does the lens correction profile for the Canon 24-70 eliminate all distortion?

The new Camera Raw seems excellent in the Lens Correction...I will be photographing dancers and will have only 9 feet to work with. I would like to use the widest lens I can with lens correction. The question is whether this new program will flatten out the 24mm lens or if I should use the 35.
Roger Minkow

To add to Eric's great explanation, the corrections here are for barrel and pincushion distortion. That can be present in a lens of any focal length.
What isn't corrected is the effect in wide angle lenses where there is spreading of the image of three dimensional objects away from the center of the field. It happens at any distance, not just close up. It is caused by the extreme angle of projection from the back of the lens to the flat film/sensor plane. Think of a straight on photo of a building that has equal size columns across the facade with a wide angle lens. The columns at either end of the image appear wider than the (same width) columns in the middle. Retrofocus design wide angle lenses help a little bit (the rear of the lens is further from the focal plane than in a standard wide angle), but the distortion is usually there.
There is also distortion from being too close to the subject. Focal length doesn't really matter in that, except that longer lenses don't have the field of view to take in the close subject and can't usually focus that close. So we associate this distortion with wide angle lenses. This sort of distortion would be that where a person's nose in the middle of the frame looks very large and there is quick falloff in size to the eyes, ears, background. I think of this as more an issue of perspective, and this is controlled by camera placement, not by focal length or lens design.

Why does timer code (by dbasnett) no longer work splendidly?

Using timer code supplied by dbasnett back in May2014, I was able to see FPS of near 500 for a simple animation. Now, with a more recent 64bit laptop Win 8.1 - - I run the same code - - - and see poor results similar to standard timers - - where the
results are "stepped" - - -like either 16FPS or 32FPS or the max I can get is 64FPS.
This thread back in May2014 - -https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/9ddb2f16-796a-483a-aa3f-0f9b959e0eea/the-use-of-systemwindowsformstimer-for-time?forum=vbgeneral
And here is the code that dbasnett supplied - -

With timer interval set to 20 - - - - it used to give about 50FPS (which is should), but it doesnt anymore - - - it gives 32FPS.
Can anybody shed some light on what has gone wrong? My present laptop also a I7 is 4 years younger than my old laptop and has far betters specs. Why is it slower? or why is this timer code no longer acting the same?

@ Reed Kimble. Thanks for your point about not being OS related. That make sense anyway.
@ Mr.Monkeyboy. Thanks for your links and points. I had a bit of a read. Mostly over my head. To me it should'nt be a thread priority question because the program is so simple - there is only one thread anyway.
And I don't think it is a graphics issue, because I altered the program to only manipulate a bitmap - not activate a paint event - - - but it still performs poorly. I only get 32 Cycles Per Second instead of 50 CPS. See - this is how I altered the
code - but no change in performance:-
Public Class Form4

Dim gfx As Graphics
Dim R As Integer

PS - I changed the code so that it does not deal with bitmaps or graphics at all - - - but still no improvement.
Maybe it is Framework Version issue ??

Why does Screen Sharing between Macs no longer work?

Just recently many of my Mac computers have stopped Screen Sharing with each other. I cannot think of any reason why this would begin happening. These computers are 'system critical' computers so I haven't updated to Mavericks yet. One is an iMac running OS X 10.8 and the other is a Mac Mini running 10.7. Any clues?

This could be something as simple as a bad Router Port. Try switching the Ethernet cable on one of the effected Macs to a port that you know is working. When I was running computer labs, bad ports were a commmon issue. If that doen't work we will move on to other possible solutions.

Why does my external hard drive no longer work

I have a toshiba 1tb external hard drive on which I back up my Toshiba lap top. This morning when I tried to do this both USB ports on the laptop died. Thats a very short explanation for what has taken some time to establish. To get them working again I have to reboot the laptop & then I can use my wireless mouse & keyboard etc. Attach the harddrive again everything dies.
Now the point that got me to this board is that I gave my hard drive to a colleague to copy some files (which he did) but he runs a mac! Has his mac killed my hard drive & done something that somehow means when it plugs into my laptop it kills the USB drives on that too?

Bob you might just be right. He might have killed the cable though. I've managed to find a similar connection & I now seem to have access. Is that a natural breeding rainbow or one of those bloated stockies?

Why does google (and only google) no longer work in toolbar search box?

The search box on the Firefox toolbar - not the google toolbar- no longer works if google is selected as search engine, gives a not found error to any search. Other search engines work, but google is broken. Google works fine anywhere else, just not from stock toolbar search box. Windows XP, Firefox 16.0.1.

Thanks for the help, but that didn't work. "keyword.URL" was not bold and it wouldn't allow me to select reset. what next?

Special Profiles no longer work for Store app acess after Update for 8.1

Before the Update for 8.1, the Windows Store was accessible to users on a domain with special profiles. Both users with roaming profiles using computer set to delete the cached profile and users with mandatory profiles, could access the
store. Why would you want to do this, some will ask. It is perfect for the training computers were the instructor is demonstrating an app. It worked great. After the 8.1 update (or an update near the same time) the Windows Store no longer allows
access. "you can't access the Windows Store because you're signed in to this PC using a temporary or guest account."
The setting "Allow deployment operations in special profiles" is enabled in the GPO. The roaming users, for instance, have a MS account associated and can access everything else that needs a MS account i.e. OneDrive.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Better yet, has anyone found a way to make this work?

Hi,
From your description, the failure information is:
You can't access the Windows Store because you're signed in to this PC using a temporary or guest account.
As I know, we can still use roaming profile to access Windows Store:
Win8: App: Modern: Application considerations for roaming profiles
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2795607/en-us
So, I suspect this is related to the logon issue. can you check the event viewer to see if there is any user profile service related error.
Meanwhile, please check your Domain Guests group to see if the problematic users is existed there.

Lens Correction Profiles: Unable to locate matching profiles automatically

In LR3, I can't seem to load the auto lens correction profiles for my Canon lenses, many of which should be readily available. I used the 24-70L 2.8 USM lens and the 50mm 1.4 lenses on a recent shoot and the profiles can't be found. Is there a place to download the stock LR3 profiles to enable this option? I'm not that interested in making custom profiles at this time.
Here's what I'm seeing:
Thanks for any help.

The lens profiles coming from Adobe should be installed automatically when installing LR, no need to install them seperately. You can check for files named
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM) - RAW.lcp
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM).lcp
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM) - RAW.lcp
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM).lcp
in the folder
WinXP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Canon
WinVista or 7:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Canon
Mac:
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Canon
These are the profiles provided by Adobe for the lenses you mention. If they are there, something seems to be wrong in LR recognizing your lens. If they're not, try reinstalling LR3.

Lens Correction Profiles: Pasting develop settings in bridge yields inconsistent crop

Hello Everyone,
I recently discovered lens correction profiles which have been a real benefit to me in my most recent batch of images shot at 16mm on a Canon 5d MII. The lens distortion isn't always spot on, but it is a huge headstart most of the time.
I bracket photos for HDR and will apply all my crop settings to one image in the bracketed series and afterwards psate the settings onto all the others in the series. This works great.
However, once I started using Lens Correction Profiles, when I paste the crop setting onto the subsequent images, the crop is in a different position. I was completely baffled. But after some fiddling around, I noticed that if I manually open each of the subsequent images, remove the crop, uncheck and recheck the Lens Correction Profile, and reapply the crop, it is consistent with the first. This leads me to believe that somewhere in the Paste Setting sequence, it is doing the crop out of order. (As if it is cropping the image and THEN applying the lens correction--which yeild different results.)
(As a item of note, when I mean cropping, I use the automatic crop obtained by highlighting the entire area of the image after applying lens corrections so as to only crop out the grey areas acquired by shifting the image around while still maintaining aspect ratio.)
Is there any way we can get the pasting to paste so as to make these subsequent images identical to the original image? Or am I missing something?
Relevant Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Bridge 4.0.4.2
Adobe Camera Raw 6.4.0.139
Photoshop 12.0.3 x64
Thanks,
Dave

Normally, when you apply a lens correction profile, there shouldn't be any visible gray areas around the border of the image.
Are you saying this is not the case?
Are you making additional distortion or keystoning adjustments (e.g., in the manual tab)?

NEX 7 Firmware update - NEX 7 lens correction profiles gone

I've applied the NEX 7 Firmware update and now I can't see lens correction profile for SEL1855 in Lightroom 4. I'm pretty sure this used to work automatically, and I can see the correct lens in the image metadata e 18-55 f3.5-5.6 OSS) Does anyone know what has happened, and how to resolve the problem?

Ah. Feel a bit stupid. I switched from RAW to JPEG and forgot to switch back.

CR 8.2 doesn't come up with lens correction profile on Canon 6d with EF 24-105 L 4.0 IS/USM

Dear community members,
Some weeks ago I bought my new Canon EOS 6D with a EF 24-105 L f/4.0 IS/USM lens an I am absolutely happy with them :-)
The only problem that I run in to is when I process my photographs in Camera Raw. The thing is that CR does not come up with a lens correction profile for de Canon 6D with the lens mentioned above.
I do find a profile of the 1D Mark III, but this one does not work very well on the RAWs from the Canon 6D.
Does any one know if and (when yes) where I can find the right profile for lens correction? At the Adobe site I could not find the profile van this camera in combination with this objective.
Or perhaps there is another way to apply automatic lens corrections on RAW;s from the Canon 6D with a EF 24-105?
Kind regards and many thanks in advance for your answers :-)

Hello,
Thanks for your advice.
I did download the DNG Coverter but it did not help. So I decided to uninstall Photoshop CS6 and reinstall it again on my Mac.
For uninstall I followed the following steps:
-go to finder
-go to the Photoshop CS6 map
-dubbel click on the Adobe-uninstall icon
This worked perfectly well without any errors.
Now I am running into another problem, a problem with reinstalling PS CS6.
I don't have a cd-rom with PS on it, but I have a downloaded a .DMG file which I bought and downloaded from Adobe (I don't have a CD-player in my Mac). This should not be any problem. But what happens is this:
When I dubbel-click the .DMG-file (Photoshop_13_LS16.dmg) the normal installation window appears.
After dubbel-clicking Photshop CS6 icon the following screen appears:
After selecting the Install icon the following screen appears:
The error message is in Dutch and says: 'install' excists on the diskcopy 'Photoshop_13_LS16.dmg'. Safari downloaded this diskcopy on 2 July 2013
The two buttons say: " Cancel" and "Delete diskcopy file"
When I select "Cancel" the application stops and when I select "Delete diskcopy file" it removes the Install-file (from screenshot) and the application stops.
Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Gozotxu

Lens correction profiles LR3.4 Mac

I use a mac.
I shoot raw.
I created lens correction profiles for my camera and a few lenses. I uploaded them to Adobe. The lens corrections show up in Adobe Camera Raw but not in Lightroom. ACR "looks" for the .lcp files in the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Camera Raw/Lens Profiles/1.0
Where does Lightroom look for the .lcp files? Or does it use them a all? There is a large list of supported lenses in the dropdown menu, just not the ones I created.

QUOTING: There is a second Lens Profiles Default folder as well.
Where is this elusive second folder? I put copies of the profile in the /Downloaded folder as wel, but Lightroom still doesn't see them.

How to apply lens correction profile to multiple images at once?

I have a quick newbie question and I couldn't find an answer in a brief search that I did. Is it possible to apply lens correction profile automatically to multiple images at once? For my RAW images, LR automatically detects the lens and applies the correction profile for an image if I manually click on "Enable lens correction" option under Develop module (in the right pane where adjustments are made). However, I would like to do this to multiple images all at once.
Thanks,
Osho

Be careful using develop setting synchronization for lens profile across mutiple images! This allows applying an incorrect profile (i.e. Canon 17-40mm profile with synchronization to images shot with multiple lenses) First use the 'filter' tool to make sure you select images shot with only one (1) lens type. Then follow one of the procedures here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WS0E6E6886-E223-4050-B6E0-A97B5B62EF7D.htm l
You can also change the "default" develop settings with 'Lens Profile' option checked and then save as the "new default" setting. LR will then "automatically" apply lens profile correction on import of new images.
