Missing LR camera/lens profiles

I updated to the latest version of Lightroom this afternoon. When I continued with LR, I discovered all my camera/lens profiles were gone. Can anyone tell me what  happened and how I can recover or replace then? Thanks!

ssprengel,
Thanks. I've been traveling for two weeks and have not had access so I haven't followed up on your questions.
Yes, I updated from LR 5.5 to 5.6 and discovered my profiles were gone after that. I did do some other "clean up" on the computer working with the Apple folks to solve another set of issues. It is possible that this is the source of my problem.  Your suggestion is to uninstall and reinstall LR. What precautionary steps do I need to do prior to the uninstall? Any special instructions for the reinstall. I would hate top end up with no LR at all!
Thanks.

  • Camera & Lens Profiles

    Can anyone explain the differences in the Camera Lens Profiles in ACR and the Lens Correction Filter in Photoshop CS6.
    Reason I ask is my D800 and Nikon 14-24mm lens is detected and correction applied in ACR, but the same camera and lens combination is not recognized in the Photoshop lens correction filter. The D800 is nowhere to be found. But interestingly the profiles for the D4 are
    Many folks have asked in the past when the D800 and Canon 5DM3 would be supported but all the attention has been focussed on ACR, so when will these profiles be available for Photoshop Lens Correction?
    Cheers

    There is no question that ACR provides the Camera/Lens Profiles - this thread is why there is a difference between the Lens Correction built into Photoshop CS6. Many camera and Lens combinations supported by ACR do not show up Photoshop's Lens correction - like the D300 is missing, the D800 is missing - but all there in ACR.....
    What I was hinting at was why is Photoshop not using the same profiles as ACR? Seems strange and more convoluted support model

  • Can I load a specific camera/lens profile into LR and if so how?

    Can I load a specific camera/lens profile into LR and if so how?

    If the camera profile or lens profile is in a Lightroom compatible format (i.e. created by the DNG Profile Editor or Lens Profile Creator) then you can load the profile into LR by putting it into the following folder and restarting LR.
    Windows Vista or 7—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.

  • LR 5.3 missing camera/lens profiles

    Just came back from the camera store after testing out the Nikon Coolpix P7800 and Sony RX100ii.
    Imported the RAW files into LR 5.3 to compare the image quality of the cameras.
    I noticed that I could not assign camera and lens profiles to the photos. I currently have a Nikon P7100 which does show up in the drop down list and have had no problem doing lens corrections for the older camera.
    I thought the P7800 and RX100ii cameras were added in the latest update. Am I missing something?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Using the new ACR 8.4 RC, the Sony RX100M2 seems fully supported, but the Nikon Coolpix P7800 seems barely supported. 
    These same conditions are present in LR 5.3.  The only thing new in ACR 8.4 RC is the indication of a built-in profile being used.
    RX100M2 - Built-in lens profile & several camera profiles:
    P7800 - No internal or external lens profile & only Matrix as camera profile:

  • Possible to extract new camera/lens profiles from 8.4 to use in 8.3 ? OSX 10.6.8

    Hi,
    I'm still using OSX 10.6.8/ Snow Leopard for various reasons, also CS6 , and am a bit surprised that ACR 8.4 requires a later OSX version .
    I'm fuming, actually, but let's not go there .
    Obviously I won't change my OS, just because a rather minor part of the CS6 apps I'm using has been changed without considering OS backwards compatibility, probably by an intern .
    But then again I do need the ACR support for recent cameras and lenses, so I'm wondering if there is a way to extract those profiles from the latest ACR 8.4 and manually add them to my earlier ACR 8.3 ?
    Thanks !

    Each camera model's raw files must be supported individually, even if the sensor is the same because the electronics still might be doing something different to the data after it is read off the sensor or the lens system might be doing something different to the colors and hence the need for individual support, and at least because the camera has a different ID that needs to be recognized.
    An Adobe Camera Raw engineer has said that while much of the camera support is in the camera profiles, either Adobe Standard or for some models, Camera Standard, Camera Faithful, etc, there are almost always little tweaks in the conversion that are actually part of the computer programming in the camera raw plug-in, itself, so it is a combination of a particular minimum version of the camera raw plug-in plus the camera profile file(s) that need to recognize and handle things for the camera.   The only thing you can copy from 8.3 to 8.4 is the external camera profile file(s) not the internal camera raw plug-in coding.
    Obviously you can use the DNG Converter to create DNGs from the native camera raw files that can then be understood by older camera raw plug-ins, since that newer DNG Converter can embed all the extra parameters into the DNG files that the older ACR plug-in needs to do the raw conversion, but this is an extra step in the workflow so maybe you don't want to do it.
    It seems like your choices are to upgrade your OS to Mavericks or use the DNG Converter to make DNGs of the Sony a6000 raw files so your current ACR 8.3 plug-in can understand and process these DNGs.

  • Lens profile in Camera raw won't load

    Hello :
    Can you please tell me why, when in Camera raw, my lens profile won't load. I use photoshop CS6 and have a Nikon d700 lens is 70-200 2.8 both included in the profile available.
    All softwar is up to date
    Thank you !

    Sujac:
    In CameraRaw (I don't have Lightroom) Camera/Lens profiles are tied to the filetype. So, for example, your image is a JPG, CameraRaw won't show DNG/RAW profiles.
    Suggestions: 1) if available, use the RAW file. 2) If it ain't, open the image in an editor that can save the file as a DNG, then do it. The lens profiles will probably be available then.
    Best.

  • In ACR add lens profile for Canon 500 F4 IS

    The Canon 500 F4 IS is an extremely (perhaps the most) popular lens for wildlife photographers.  Yet it is missing from the lens profiles.  Why?  How can I request that Adobe get on the ball and include this popular lens?

    Which version of mac os x are you using?
    If your using a version newer than mac os x 10.6.8 snow leopard, then see if installing the 8.6 dng converter gives you that lens profile in camera raw.

  • Directory of Lens profiles in Win 7

    In LR4 some lens profiles are not available that are in LR3. It may well have to do with the fact that I "downgraded" some profiles that were only available as RAW versions to non-RAW versions. Unforgivable but I just don't always shoot in RAW. They do show up in LR 3 as I mentioned and I believe that they are stored in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\ but get the idea that LR4 uses some otther directory... Is thatt right?

    Sorry, no idea why the change was made....I just know that it was.
    In the early days of the LR4beta there were quite a few comments about the respective size (within Program Files) of LR3 and LR4....the latter having a footprint of almost 800mb, LR3 being less than 100mb. To some, this was evidence of sloppy coding and application bloat, but of course they hadn't realised that over 300mb of camera/lens profiles had switched from Program Data (LR3) to Program Files (LR4b). That made the real difference about 400mb, almost all of which is attributable to the 200+mb of Book Templates and the almost 200mb of stuff seemingly video related (in the Support sub-folder).

  • Camera Profiles and Lens Profiles are missing in ACR 8.2.

    Yesterday I tried to install a new update for CS CC, but it failed. Then I uninstalled the app completely, and installed it again.
    When I opened ACR 8.2 I found out that there were no Camera profiles and LensProfiles (as it used to be before). Instead of usual Camera Profile was Matrix. There were no Lens Profiles in Photoshop  Lens Corrections either.
    The folder C/.../App Data/Roaming/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfilesDefault was also empty.
    I reinstalled the application a couple times with the same result.
    How can I fix the problem?
    Regards, Yulia

    Well,  C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Adobe Standard is also completely empty.

  • Missing camera and lens profiles in CS6 upgrade

    I have just upgraded from CS5 to CS6 on OSX 10.7.5 and am running the latest software (ie CS6 13.05 and ACR 8.2.0.94).  My old Canon 7D profiles are available in CS6 but I can't see any profiles for the latest cameras like the Canon 6D or Ricoh GR (among several others), which are meant to be supported.  Is this a known bug and/or is there some fix?

    I had lots of hassle installing CS6 the first time (ie installation error code U44M1P7 - tried lots of workarounds to no avail) so eventually deleted both the old CS5 and CS6 and did a fresh install of CS6.  This worked fine and didn't appear to have any problems in then running all the latest software updates.  However, the camera and lens profiles I was expecting to see in ACR and PS Lens Correction Filters just aren't there.  I'm just using PS CS6.

  • 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.

  • Why are no Pentax lenses in the Adobe Camera Raw lens profiles when processing JPG files?

    I normally shoot and process raw files and use the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw for processing. Some of these files are converted to jpg for use on the net or e-mailing etc. Sometimes I want to make minor changes to the now converted jpg file and often go to Adobe Camera Raw for ease and speed of use. Lately I have gone back to some files that were not thoroughly processed as raw files before conversion to jpg. When, in ACR, I go to Lens Corrections panel, Profile tab, I Enable Lens Profile Corrections and choose Setup: Auto (or Default) and get the message, "Unable to locate a matching lens profile automatically".
    I then go down to Lens Profile and click on Make with the intention of choosing the Pentax lens which I used for the photo. Here is the problem - there are only six choices under make, namely Apple, Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Sony and Tamron. I have no such issues when processing a raw file in Adobe Camera Raw. Pentax lenses are automatically detected and Pentax, along with Leica, Samsung, Zeiss, etc. are choices under Make of lens.
    Do other people have this problem? Is there some setting I have missed? Is Adobe just not permitting some makers' lenses, for which there are profiles, to be corrected if the files are jpgs?
    BTW, I have checked and the same issues exist for tiff files opened in ACR.

    Assuming I read your post correctly, and that you're trying to use Lens corrections on JPEGs and TIFFs...  I believe there's a completely different set of profiles for correcting already "developed" images (such as JPEGs and TIFFs).  If I recall correctly (and it's been a while since I read about this), it's the same set that's used inside Photoshop for the Filter - Lens Correction tool (I hope someone here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I read this somewhere).
    If your lenses are known to Camera Raw when you develop raw files, I suggest you will need to go all the way back to your Raw file and reprocess it from that stage.  You'll get a better result anyway.

  • Missing Canon lens profile into lightroom

    Hi Guys
    I have LR4.1 and I just realized that I am missing the one for my 100-400 f4,5/5,6
    any idea how can I get it ?
    Many thanks
    have a super day, Thierry

    It is possible to save a duplicate of the lens profile file, and "kludge" it from Raw to non-Raw using a text editor. This generally works well enough; much better than manual corrections alone - provided that the camera is not also applying lens correction, and so confusing matters.

  • Lens Profile Missing LR3 Mac

    Running LR3 3.4.1 on MBP 2.8 OSX 10.6.8.
    The Lens Profile for my Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 L USM is missing from the profile choices in Lens Correction. FWIW my Canon EF 24-70 f2.8 USM and Canon EF 70-200 f 2.8 ism do show as well as many other profiles.
    When I went to the Library>Application Support>Adobe>Camera Raw>Lens Profiles>1.0>Canon I can see 86 profiles. Most end with Raw.icp and all icons show as documents except the one I need. "Canon EOS 5D Mark II (Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 L USM) - RAW.lcp" it's icon shows as a exec file and that's the one that doesn't show in my profiles dialog.
    How can I correct this file to the proper file type?
    Thanks, I'm lost on this one.

    Camera is Canon 5D

    Thanks, that sounded like a good idea and it got me thinking. Why not trash the profile and import it from another computer. Doing that I found that the file sepraratly downloaded on another computer has the same problem so I can't move it over. The other computer is OS 10.5 Leopard whereas mine is 10.6 Snow Leopard. This leads me to believe that this is an Adobe issue.
    Would any other Mac LR3 users please go to Library>Application Support>Adobe>Camera Raw>Lens Profiles>1.0>Canon and see if there is an "exec icon" next to the file named......  Canon EOS 5D Mark II (Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 L USM) - RAW.lcp  
    I'd appreciate it and it will help isolate the problem.
    Thanks

  • Need additional Lens Profiles in Camera RAW

    Hello, I have Photoshop CC (always kept up to date), and I would like to add some lens profiles to the camera RAW section. When I select Camera RAW, Lens correction, then Canon, I can not see the lens I actually want, EF16-35 II for the 5DII. This is a very common lens and I have no idea why it is missing.
    Do I need to update this somehow manually?
    (I can see this lens in Photoshop CC, and the Lens filter, but I want/need it in Camera RAW)

    So you use Photomatix to create a 32-bit HDR file and then tone that 32-bit file in ACR?  Are the Photomatix 32-bit files that much different than the PS-CC 32-bit files?  The Photomatix 32-to-16-bit conversion is quite a bit different and perhaps preferable, but I didn’t realize the 32-bit result file is also that much different.  It’s been a while since I’ve tried 32-bit HDRs and even longer since I’ve tried them in Photomatix so things may have changed or I’ve forgotten.
    If you are using Photomatix, then you are not using an Adobe raw conversion at all, so Adobe settings and raw lens profiles are not seen and used at the initial raw-conversion stage in Photomatix.
    The choices would seem to be that you can use Adobe products to create 16-bit TIFs as an input to Photomatix, or hack an Adobe raw lens profile to be used with non-raw files in ACR, or do your lens profile corrections after you’ve saved your 32-bit HDR image back as a 16-bit one and use the lens corrections area in Photoshop if that is still possible, nowadays.
