Nikon 1 Nikkor 70-300 VR (CX mount) profile missing?

A profile named "NIKON 1 J3 (Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 70-300mm f4.5-5.6) - RAW.lcp" was added to the lens profile folder when I installed Camera Raw 8.6 RC.  However, this lens does not show up in the profiles for images recorded with the CX 70-300 lens mounted on my Nikon 1 V3.  However, when I open one of the images using CS6 or CC the lens profile is present.
Can someone explain why this is the case?

Hi,
The fact is that Lightroom is separate to Photoshop ACR, the Camera and Lens Profiles are kept in the following directories for Lightroom:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom x.x\Resources\CameraProfiles\Camera ; and,
               C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom x.x\Resources\LensProfiles\1.0
Macintosh: Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom X.X/Right-click Show Package Contents/Resources/Camera Profiles; and,
                 Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom X/Right-click Show Package Contents/Resources/Lens Profiles
Believe it or not I was just about to look at the package contents when I noticed I had a message.  You are absolutely correct.  I wonder why Adobe found it necessary to make such a design decision?

    You can test whether LR uses the folder you find the ACR 8.6 RC profiles in by shutting down LR, moving all the .lcp files in that folder to another folder above and outside the folder structure where they are now, and then start up LR and see if it still finds profiles.  If you can still select profiles then it is likely that LR is using profiles that are somewhere else, but if the profiles disappear then LR is in fact sharing the same set of profiles, and I don't know why the PC would separate them and the Mac wouldn't, then.
    A further confirming step in the test would be, with the profiles still moved elsewhere, start up ACR and see if it can see the profiles or not, just in case there is some compiled or cached data for the profiles that both are using that isn't reliant on the .lcp files existing.  In other words, if you move the profiles from the one folder where you have found them, to somewhere else, and neither LR nor PS can see any profiles, then they are both using that set.
    ssprengel:  I am in your debt for suggesting such an obvious test.  My graduate school profs would be ashamed of me .
    I removed all the Nikon profiles from the LensProfiles directory stored under the system Library and found:
    (1)  no Nikon lens profiles were found when using Photoshop except the one profile that I copied into the LensProfiles directory under the user Library.  Therefore Photoshop uses the profiles stored in LensProfiles directory under the system Library.
    (2)  all required lens profiles were found when using Lightroom 5.5:  Lightroom does not use the profiles stored in LensProfiles directory under the system Library directory.
    Conclusion (2) was totally unexpected!  Lightroom keeps a "secret cache" of lens profiles somewhere on my system.
    Dare I ask someone to tell me why Lightroom uses lens profiles in this manner?

  • Nikon AF Nikkor 24mm f/2.8D

    Has anyone made a profile for the Nikon AF Nikkor 24mm f/2.8D?
    I've just got this lens, and the lateral CA is huge. I can't tell yet how bad the distortion is.
    I'm still not sure if there is an official profile request procedure (there seems to be no information on this anywhere I've looked). So, if any kind soul can help, it would be much appreciated! Otherwise, I may try to make one myself, and no doubt turn the air blue in the process.

    Well, I had a go myself. And it worked! I won't share it until I'm totally happy with it. I may have another go this week. But it seems to work okay on the limited number of shoots I've done with it, so far.
    Totally subjective observations:
    It wasn't clear from the instructions how I was going to fill 1/4 to 1/2 of the image with my chart AT DIFFERENT FOCAL DISTANCES. After my first attempt, which used 4 sets of 9 images at one focal distance, I'm guessing that I need different charts for different distances, otherwise how can I get a consistent chart size in the frame?
    I was a bit confused about the appending process. It was never mentioned by the LPC app. It appears that appending data to profiles was silent, as I backed up the profile after each aperture set of nine, and it got bigger each time.
    The final profile suffered the same small amount of CA error as most of the other profiles I use. I guess they can't be perfect, and there are small errors inherent in the system. I wonder how much of this is due to the lack of a giant target at a very long distance (I was working at about 6ft with an A3 target). A lot of my photos are focused at long distances. It would be nice to be able to add small offsets, either to the profiles, or in the CR lens correction defaults

  • Hard drive mounting bracket missing...

    The hard drive of our 17month old mac has died, and when I opened it to replace I discovered the mounting bracket was missing. Could this have played a part in its death?
    Anybody else find this part missing?
    Thanks
    Sophie

    Lex there is a hard mounted bracket on the front side and a removable one, held in with 2 screws, on the back side of the drive. Once you take the removable bracket out the drive lifts up from the back side freeing the screws in the side on the front side from the hard mounted mounting bracket. You take those side drive screws out of the old drive and put them in the sides of the new drive then reinstalled it in the hard mounted mounting bracket first then let it drop into the recesses on the back side and then put the top part back on and tighten the screws down.

  • Disk Image Mounter is missing

    I recently bought my mac, and i haven't been able to download anything, I don't have Disk Image Mounter, I have searched and searched even went as far as reinstalling the MacOSX bundle, and i still don't have it, I have not been able to download anything from the net since i bought it, is there a place where i can download it or do i just need to get on the phone with apple care and pitch a fit?

    The path to DiskImageMounter is /System/Library/CoreServices.
    If you're sure you don't have it. You can copy it from another Intel Mac, or You may be able to repair this with the 10.4.6 Stand Alone Combo Updater.
    This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions before and after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    Alternatively you might get someone to email you the app it's only 172K. Ask them to .zip it for safe transport.
    Good luck. Let us know.

  • Volume mounting, but missing from Server app

    After reconfiguring my MDC (which had something screwed up in OD), I'm having an issue with my Xsan volume listing in Server app. It shows that Xsan is up and running, but the volumes window is blank. I was able to successfully add a backup MDC and they both are able to find each other without issue, however neither the MDC or backup MDC show the volume in the window. They do, however, both mount the volume without issue.
    There is one issue, that I know of, that I'm pretty sure this is causing an issue for. Whenever I add the profile to a new client machine the volume does not mount without forcing a mount using "xsanctl mount Media". Once mounted, there are no problems that I can tell, however I haven't used it with this issue long enough to tell. Essentially it seems like it can find the volume, it just doesn't know that it's available without telling it to look for it. I've searched for a long time to try to find a config file that may control this behavior, but I can't identify anything yet. If anyone knows what file controls the display of the volumes or how to fix this issue I would appreciate the help. Also, I already have 25TB on this volume so destroying/recreating it is not really an option I would like to explore.

    It would seem that the Xsan configuration stored in LDAP does not include your volume. You could try these steps to resync the configuration files stored in /Library/Preferences/Xsan and the configuration in LDAP:
    Important: Make a backup copy of the /Library/Preferences/Xsan directory on each MDC.
    If I'm right about LDAP not including your volume, the secondary won't have any .cfgp file in its /Library/Preferences/Xsan directory--unless you put it there.
    Remove the secondary MDC from the SAN.
    On the primary MDC:
    Check that your volume name appears in /Library/Preferences/Xsan/fsmlist. See the fsmlist(4) man page for details. You will have to use the full path to that man page, e.g. "man /System/Library/Filesystems/acfs.fs/Contents/man/man4/fsmlist.4".
    Update the LDAP configuration with: "sudo xsanctl pushConfigUpdate". See the xsanctl(8) man page for more information. ("man xsanctl")
    Your existing volumes should reappear in Server app when you do this. You may need to do command-R to refresh the view. If you don't see your volume, review the output of "xsanctl pushConfigUpdate" to see if it explains what failed.
    Add the secondary MDC back to the SAN.
    Assuming pushConfigUpdate worked, the secondary MDC should automatically mount your volume when you add it. The same should happen for any additional clients you add to the SAN.

  • New Nikon D3, D300, and D700 "Camera" v3 beta profiles

    Hi everyone,
    I have posted a zip file containing updated "Camera" color profiles (Camera Standard, Camera Neutral, etc.) for the Nikon D3, Nikon D300, and Nikon D700. The zip file contains a copy of the readme, but I'll post it here for convenience, too:
    For lack of a better name, I am calling these "v3" beta profiles.
    BETA RELEASE NOTES
    Overview
    These updated Camera v3 beta profiles for the Nikon D3, Nikon D300, and Nikon D700 are designed to reduce banding and highlight color artifacts. They also address the "too bright" tone curve issues with the previous "v2" version of the D3 and D700 profiles.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: When using these v3 beta profiles, if you wish to match the default tonality of Nikon's Picture Controls (e.g., match View NX / Capture NX), you must set the Exposure slider in Camera Raw / Lightroom to -0.5.
    Of course, feel free to adjust Exposure to make your image brighter or darker as you like. But in terms of matching Nikon's default tonality, you must set the Exposure slider to -0.5, or the default will be too bright.
    For workflow convenience, you can use presets in Camera Raw / Lightroom to take care of both (e.g., simultaneously set the profile to "Camera Standard" and set Exposure to -0.5).
    Installation
    If you are on Mac OS X, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to:
        /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles
    If you are on Windows XP, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to:
        C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    If you are on Windows Vista or Windows 7, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to:
        C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    Note that the above path on Windows Vista and Windows 7 may be hidden by default. Check your folder settings.
    Feedback
    The profiles are currently in beta status. Please provide feedback via the online Adobe user-to-user forums here:

    It's because ACR assumes that exposure slider at 0 actually means exposure correction of +0.5 EV for this camera model, so with expsure slider at 0, upper 0.5 EV of histogram is clipped
    If this bothers you, there is a workaround - convert NEF to DNG, then change BaselineExposure tag in a dng from 0.5 to 0. There are several utilities for this
    Or wait for some future version of ACR where this will be solved
    The BaselineExposure used by the DNG spec and ACR can complicate ETTR exposure. A uniformly lit surface, when exposed as determined by the standard ISO light meter, should result in 0.18/sqrt(2) or 12.7% saturation of the sensor according to the ISO 12232 saturation standard. This is the standard used by DXO and it allows 0.5 EV highlight headroom. For ETTR exposure, no (or minimum) headroom is desired and mid-gray (18% reflection) is 2.5 stops below 100%.
    For example, I exposed a gray card according to the camera light meter reading with the Nikon D3. The resulting 12 bit data number was 497 and the saturation is 497/4095 = 12.1 % saturation, which is very close to the expected value of 12.7%, confirming that the light meter and sensor are properly calibrated. The corresponding pixel value in 8 bit sRGB is 99.8 as shown.
    The raw file can be rendered into sRGB with in camera processing or Nikon NX2, which closely approximates in camera processing. With the Standard Picture Control, the camera sRGB value is 150. This is a hot tone curve and the a highlight with 100% reflectance would be clipped. The table below shows the results with ACR and various presets. If one uses the Adobe Standard camera profile, the sRGB value is 162 rather than the expected 99.8 Other combinations are shown. To get the proper value for mid-gray one must use a linear tone curve (sliders on main tab set to zero and a linear point curve) and an exposure correction of -0.5 EV to compensate for the +0.5 EV BaselineExposure. With no exposure correction and a linear TRC, the sRGB value would be 116, very close to the calculated sRGB value of 117 for mid-gray (18%). However, the linear TRC gives a flat appearing image.
    The take home point is that if you use Adobe Standard with no exposure compensation with ETTR, your images will appear overexposed and lead to cutting back on the camera expoure. The raw file highlights will have values well under sensor saturation.

  • Nikon d3 and 300

    anyone heard if aperture will have raw support yet for the new nikon models d3 and 300....so far those don't show up on the raw supported file page.

    I've had my D300 since November with no RAW support...
    This has rumbled on for months on here with only very vague answers, which IMHO is poor...
    I didn't invest in Aperture to be left waiting this long...
    I'm having to shoot in RAW + Jpeg which I don't like to do, but what choice do I have...
    I hope it will be soon but I'm not holding my breath, all this Apple cloak & dagger secrecy stuff is just irritating...

  • Nikon Lense compatibility

    My D40X pooped out and I want to buy a D5100 (body Only).  Will my lenses and speedlight work with the 5100?  I have a Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor 70-300 1:4.5-5.6G and a Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-55 1:3.5-5.6 G II ED lense.  Also:  Nikon SB800 speedlight.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When I did a search on D5100 models on BBuy site, there is more than one product and there are 247 reviews on one model.  Is this the review you are referring to?
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nikon+-+D5100+16.2-Megapixel+DSLR+Camera+-+Black/2553883.p?skuId=2553883...
    My thoughts....
    It is one review out of many.  I did not see any other reviews with focussing problems he is describing.
    He mentions trying to focus 1 foot from the lens.... most lenses need 2 or 3 feet to auto focus properly.  That lens needs 11", so he's just barely giving the lens enough clearance to focus.  He mentions everything is "one plane".  At 1 foot?  That does not count.
    did he have enough light?  Lens needs enough light to auto focus.  You mentioned having a SB800.  Use the autofocus light to help with the auto-focus.
    did he have enough contrast?  If everything is one colour it can be hard to autofocus
    there are only 11 focus points on this older, entry model.  You might want newer higher end models with more focus points.  Love the 51 autofocus points my Nikon's.
    more expensive models also have more cross-type focus points.  Entry models might only have ONE.
    I had problems with the D700 with a tamron lens (28-300mm).  Once I replaced the third party lens with a Nikon.... the focussing problems went away.

  • Nikon D7000 LR4 Camera Raw color issues

    I just upgraded my camera from a Nikon D70 to a D7000.
    Problem: When I process the RAW /NEF files with Adobe Lightroom 4 the color is terrible. By that I mean, the images look dull, dark and have no pop. The coloring is not even close to what is displayed on the Nikon camera screen.
    When I use Nikon View NX: The software which is pakaged with the camera produces an image which is, or almost identical to the image on the camera after the photo is taken.
    I like the funcionality of lightroom better than ViewNX, so what I have been doing is processing with ViewNX and then exporting to a TIFF.  Opening up LR4 and then importing and cataloging.  This process is a pain and time consuming. 
    I also have found LR3 does a better job than LR4 at processing the images.
    Is there a way I can tweak or download corrected ACR settings to match my Nikon D7000.

    I have figured out myself the profile correction problem for my Nikon D7000 NEF Problem. It almost match to the one in NX2 or even on camera LCD.  the following is what I have adjusted in my LR4
    Brightness +1.00
    Contrasts +28~33
    Shadow +40~55
    Black -25
    Don't Forget change the Profile setting on Camera Calibration under the Develop mode to match the what you set on your camera. I always shot on Standard mode, therefore I set the Profile to Camera Standard.
    The following is the way I figure it out.
    1.  I imported the photo under "Zeroed" at Import page under Develop setting > Lightroom Genaral Present > Zeroed
    2.  Open one of the imported picture on Develop mode
    3.  Scroll down to Camera Calibration change the profile setting to match they one you set on your camera, in this case I choose Camera standard.
    4. Under the Camera Calibration>Process you will see 2012(Present), changed it to 2010, and change it back to 2012 (present again)
    5. You will notice that the develop setting automaticly change to the following (Brightness -1.00, contrasts -33 and black +25) Let say this is what lightroom did to your picture( from Nikon D7000 NEF)
    6. and then Change everything back to " 0 " will you find your picture nearly close to the one you saw on NX2.0 or Nikon LCD
    If your found the step above is hard to follow, please just change the Brightness +1.00, Contrasts +33 and Black -25, and dont forget adjust a bit of shadow as well.
    for the people who dont know what Nikon done to Nikon D7000, please dont be expert to say "you dont know RAW".  please read more reviews first before helping people who are new to RAW or even stuck on RAW.  This forum is helping people with our knowledge, is not to make people need help to get more confuse.
    For Nikon D7000 user.... Remember turn D-Lightning off.... this is one of the problem will cause LR4 change your tone to more darker, especially on portrait photoshot. Hopefully Adobe will realease the new update soon to match the new system inside Nikon camera.
    Please note that the step above only Apply for Nikon D7000 and Lightroom 4 only. And it is not 100% correct to what you seen on your camera, at least is 80~90% Match!!

    A bit of a newbie , just retired

    About Lens Profiles:
    They are different for Raw and JPEG. Sometimes a profile is only available for Raw, sometimes for JPEG, sometimes for both, sometimes for neither. If it is available, it can be found by searching in the Profile tab of the Lens Corrections panel. If it doesn't show available when searching here, you can go to the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader and see if another user, like yourself, has created one. If not, you can download the Adobe Lens Profile Creator tool and make one yourself.  See the link below.
