Nikon 50/1.4 D create lens profile

Hi
I need to be able to get or create a nikon 50/1.4 D lens profil for Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (15.1).
Can anybody help me here?
Michael

thanks for fast response!
i dont think the program not recognising the lens setting is the problem because nikon camera allow you to manually put in the setting before shooting (focal length and aperture), so right now ALPC is doing fine putting them into group.
the thing that i am confused is we actually should "separate lcp file for each set so that you could apply them separately" as you said?
am not sure if i understand this correctly but so i should create for example 10 set and use them accordingly?
eg.
use 45 f2.8 at minimum focus profile while i shoot similar to this condition versus another profile which optimise for 45 f11 at infinity?
i thought that we can combine them into one file and not having tons of small file?
(in the manual it says something about appending file but i could not get that to work. is that suppposes to work with zoom lens that has mutiple focal lengths only or it supposes to work with lens with mutiple apertures too?)
so i guess my basic question is:
how to get ALPC to recognise and combine the profile that shot using various aperture and focus distance? will ALPC do it automatically or else?

Create lens profile for ultra wide angle lens

Hello,
I am trying to create a lens profile for the ultra wide angle lens Olympus 9-18 mm (Crop factor 2). As i use the lens for timelapse, i only need the profiles for 9 mm and open aperture f4, but combined with several different ND-filters which show different vignetting depending on their filter strength. Filters are oversized, so no influence by fringe. What i need is to get rid of vignetting.
So far everything works out well, and probably good enough for still photography. However for timelapse I need a high quality compensation of vignetting, otherwise getting flicker.
My problem is, that with the ultra wide angle lens distance from camera to chart (A3) is just about 0.5 meters. I did the shootings outside, in shade, when having a clear sky, and I found it quite impossible not to produce any shadow of myself or the camera on the chart. Thus I got a not perfectly even correction of vignetting.
Can anyone give me tips how to solve that problem with producing shade on the cart? Maybe working indoors with 2 lamps can create better results? Have tried that but found the illumination of the chart so damn poor.

I think your best bet is outside, with possibly a larger chart. (The two-light setup indoors is problematic esp. with wide-angle lenses.)
Instead of waiting for overcast, try waiting for a sunny clear day with a direct lighting from the sun on the chart, at a sharp angle (almost side-lit) so that the chart is clearly illuminated, but the shadow that the camera casts will be to the side (instead of on the chart itself).

Difficultly creating Phase One lens profiles

Has anyone successfully created lens profiles with Phase One backs, specifically the P65+? I'm having two major issues:
1. file format. I tried converting to DNG via Capture One 6 and Lightroom 3.3--both generated files that LPC could not read. I see the image previews at the bottom center of LPC, but the higher res version in the center of the application doesn't display. When I click "Generate Profiles" it says "Detect corners failed because file reading errors occurred" My current workaround is to convert to TIF instead, which works fine but takes a lot more time & disk space.
2. memory. When I use TIFs, I get the error "Detect corners failed because out of memory..." It suggests using fewer photos, so I've whittled it down to 3, which I believe is the minimum, but I still get the error almost immediately--it appears to be failing on just one photo. I'm running Win 7 x64 and I have 6GB of physical RAM, 154GB free on my OS disk and 92GB free on the disk that contains the imagery.
Any ideas? Thanks!

In further testing, I've found that the file format issue is momentarily solved by closing and restarting the application. It tends to come back as soon as I perform a couple other operations, though.
I also found that the memory limitation affects P45+ images as well--it says out of memory even if I only select 3 images--but using the P65+ in Sensor+ mode (switching from 60MP to 15MP) does result in DNGs that lens profile creator can handle (and then I can select a whole lot of them without a memory issue).

Need lens profile rokinon 14mm for sony nex7

Please does anyone know if there is a Lightroom 5 lens profile for Rokinon(aka Bower/Samyang) 14 mm for sony nex 7??
Thanks

The Adobe Lens Profile implementation is not camera model specific. Cameras with the same sensor size should theoretically be able to use the same lens profiles regardless of the camera make or model. Adobe also provides the capability of using lens profiles from larger sensor size (full-frame) cameras with images shot using smaller sensor (APS-C) camera models (i.e. Crop Factor). As best I can tell the Adobe and User created lens profiles are agnostic, except for image file type. Different lens profiles are required for raw and JPEG images. As long as the lens profile crop factor is the same or smaller than the target camera it should work just fine. The Sony Nex7 has a 1.5 Crop Factor sensor size, so any lens profile with a 1.5 to 1 crop factor should work. Lens profiles with the nearly same sensor size 1.6 crop factor should also work.
The Adobe Lens Profile Downloader lists numerous lens profiles for this lens under 'Camera Make' Nikon for both raw and JPEG. You could also use any of the lens profiles that appear under 'Camera Make' Canon.
1) Download and install the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader for Windows or Mac.
2) Launch the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader, select a suitable lens profile, and download it. Add as many as you like!
3) Close and reopen LR, select an image shot with the 14mm lens, go to Develop> Lens Corrections panel, and select 'Make' same as you downloaded (i.e. Nikon), and under 'Model' scroll down to the bottom of the list and you should see the downloaded profile(s). Test it with the 14mm images.
4) If satisfied select in the Lens Profile panel Setup> 'Save New Lens Profile Default.'
These profiles are created and submitted by users with varying degrees of technical-expertise. The lens profiles have a 'Rating,' based on some metric. Please keep in mind that 100% distortion and vignetting correction can actually make the image look worse, especially with a wide-angle lens. Most wide angle lenses have barrel type distortion and when corrected with the LR Lens Profile tool you will see corner "stretching," which creates cropping and volume anamorphosis. Images also tend to look more natural when there is a slight amount of vignetting left in the image. I typically use 0% Distortion and 50% Vignetting and only adjust them higher in images where it is visible. YMMV.....

Lens Profile changes in ACR 6.2 update

Before the update, I had perfectly aligned masks for hundreds of images using the Nikon 18-200mm lens. However, when I now open their Smart Objects, make and change and close, a new distortion correction is being applied, ie. the masks are not longer aligned. This is a major headache and it's not clear how I might go back to the original lens profile. Even if it is worse, I am already invested in it with the masks. Pushing out this change without due notice or way to ensure backward compatibility is a major shortfall. I would be interested to hear how Adobe recommends I proceed? Revert to ACR 6.1 and miss out on all future updates? I highly recommend building legacy profiles into future updates.

What ACR adjustments do you need to do to the image that can only be done in RAW format and cannot be done when ACR is editing a TIF after your initial ACR-conversion? It seems as though you may need to modify your workflow to convert to TIF, and then re-edit that TIF with ACR and use that as the smart object on which to apply your masks. TIFs only have relative WB adjustments, not absolute like RAW files, but if the WB is close you probably don't have to tweak things too much, although you'd want to be careful to create your initial set of TIFs with the same initial WB so you could tweak groups of images similarly with the same relative adjustments.
For Adobe to accommodate what you're wanting they'd need to have the ACR version number where a profile came from as part of its name so ACR can match the specific profile used with old images. I think Adobe messed up when they didn't do this, initially, but perhaps they feel it is still a beta period and don't want too many versions of each profile cluttering things until things have settled down.
You asked, earlier, how to get the old profiles back.
On my Windows Vista/Win7 computers the Adobe-supplied lens profiles for Nikon are duplicated in two different places:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Nikon
C:\Users\All Users\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Nikon
I think additional users-supplied profiles would go to the following place, although I'm not sure because I don't have any user-created lens profiles:
C:\Users\-your-user-name-\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Nikon
The way to get your old profiles back would be:
Find the current Adobe-supplied profiles on your computer and remove them.
Download and install the ACR 6.1 update.
Find the profiles installed with that in the same places you removed the other ones from and save all these 6.1 profiles somewhere else.
Download and install the ACR 6.2 update.
It may be sufficient to copy the old 6.1 version of the profiles for the lenses you use into your user-profile-specific location and those would override whatever Adobe-supplied profiles there are, but I doubt it.
And if not, then what you'd want to do is edit the XML in the LCP files for ACR 6.1 for your lenses that you have already put into your user-profile-specific location and change the name to have the ACR version in it, so when you run LR or ACR, you know which ones are your old profiles and which are the current ones that Adobe has supplied.
The remaining task is to re-assign this relabeled ACR-6.1-specific profile to your underlying images that have smart-objects in them to be able to use your masks with the old correction in place.
Going forward it might be wise to also copy and relabel each profile for your lenses that have been updated...you may have to test things yourself to see if there are any differences.

Canon S90 raw - lens profile overcorrect distortion

I was able to successfuly create profiles for all my Nikon gear, but Canon S90 is a completely different story. I tried all possible variations, focus distance, diferent charts, sizes, changing advanced settings and so on, but the result is always way overcorrected geometric distortion. It actually makes it worse then original. If I reduce correction to about 22% then it looks right. The same applies to available S90 profile on-line. Chromatic and vignetting models appear to be correct.
Original image:
Corrected image in Camera Raw:
I can send you zip file with original raw if you like to test it in the lab.

The S90 images are already auto-corrected for distortion based on metadata. Hence the raw images processed by CR/LR will have a similar shape to the JPEGs produced by the camera (e.g., if you shoot raw + JPEG).
At present we do not support user-created lens profiles for the S90 for raw files. This is a known limitation of CR/LR that will be corrected.
The same limitation applies to CR/LR with regards to Micro 4/3 cameras and the Panasonic LX3 / Leica DLUX4.

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.

Lens Profiles not registering in Lightroom 4

I have a number of lens profiles that I have created with Adobe Lens Profile Creator and placed in the designated folder, but when I run Lightroom, they do not appear in the list.
There is an "index.dat" file under folder 1.0 that I suspect needs to be updated, but I don't know how.
I also added a Minolta folder since there was noe befor to place my Minolta lens profiles. This does not show either when I run Lightroom.

Rikk is correct. User created lens profiles should be put under the user specific lens profiles folders.
On Mac, put them under (note there is no space in the "CameraRaw" sub-folder) or any of its sub directories:
Hard Drive>Users>your user name>Library>Application Support>Adobe>CameraRaw>Lens Profiles>1.0
On Windows,
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0
I thought ALPC will default to save to these user speficic locations.

Camera RAW v7.3:Lens Profile for Nikkor DX 17-55mm

Hi,
LR v4.3 correctly reads from NEF the lens Metadata like: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED. This lens profile is properly assigned to the corresponding NEF file.
Still in LR when converting the same image (via export dialog) to TIF, again this lens profile is used and reflected in the TIF-output (including metadata). So far so good.
When converting the same image in Nikon Capture NX2 of course the lens profile (as set in LR) is NOT reflected in the TIF-output. This (should) can be taken care of by enabling a lens profile correction in LR (after import TIF into LR).
The thing is that LR suggests to apply a profile for lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G IF-ED. This profile is probably not the same as for the 17-55mm lens.
Unfortunately a profile for the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED is not listed in the selection options.
Question is:
How can I best obtain a proper profile for the lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED ?
I find it strange that Camera RAW v7.3 has the proper lens profile for the NEF but suggest another profile for the TIF version of the same file. Apparently the profile is available for NEF but not for the TIF.
How comes?
Would appreciate to receive some reasoning and possible solutions.
Thanks, Hans.

My findings:
The lens profile in ACR is for RAW files.
For converted files (TIF, JPG, etc.) a different lens profile applies.
Reason(s): The metadata of the TIF-file is not specific enough about lens profiles. (Lens profiles would need to be embedded - they are not).
For example: Has the TIF-file been converted from RAW using a profile or not? If so, the specific name of the lens profile and it's physical location would be needed.
Meanwhile it makes sense for me that this part is left to the user.
The Adobe LensProfile Creator allows to produce a suitable profile for specific needs.
For many popular lenses there is a non-RAW lensprofile (for TIF, JPG etc.) available that might be applied by the user.
Thanks 'Geoff the kiwi' you lead me onto the right path to find the answers to my questions.

Nikon 7700 lens profile for CS6

I am operating CS6 and Camera Raw 8.5.0.236
When I am processing NRW images from my Nikon 7700 I select Lens Correction and am devised that there is no profile for this lens.
Various blogs suggest that my CS6 should be able to process 7700 images, with the necessary lens correction.
What am I missing?
How do I get CS6 to understand that it can process NRW files with the Nikon 7700 lens profile?
Do I need a plug in? If so where is it and how do I install it?

Hi David,
The Nikon Coolpix p7700 camera is supported and listed here:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
By "supported" it means the camera profiles and images from this camera are supported in Camera Raw from the version specified in the above list. Lens profile support is separate (the list Jim posted), and this camera's lens was not profiled by Adobe. It is possible we may profile it if time and resources allow, but I cannot guarantee it will happen. Using a profile from one of the supported Coolpix camera lenses may not work because there may be differences between models (different optical formulas, focal lengths, etc.) that make using another profile unsatisfactory.
Another option is to search for a profile that another user has possibly created for this lens, or create one yourself using the Adobe - Adobe Lens Profile Creator : For Macintosh.
There is also a version of the ALPC for Windows.
Regards,
- Chris

Using Lens profiles for Nikon D800 in Lightroom 3.6

When I use Lightroom 3.6 with pictures from Nikon D800, the lens profile for the Mikro Nikor 60 mm lens is not in the list of coice. However, when the picture is from a Nikon D5000, the same lens appears in the list. So, a lens profile exists, but is not open for pictures from the D800. How can I solve this problem? The same is true for the 18-200 mm lens, which however is not suited for the D800 due to heavy vignetting at wide angle, and with the 70-300 mm, which gives good results.

The D5000 is a crop sensor. The D800 is a Full-Frame sensor. The Profile for D5000 cannot be "scaled" for a full-frame sensor: thus, it cannot be used.
Every lens has multipe profiles: 1 for Raw and 1 for Jpeg in each sensor size. If one has not been created for your particular lens, camera a file format you have three options.
1: Download the Adobe Lens Profile tool from Adobe Labs and create on yourself. It isn't hard but it is time consuming.
2: Part of the Adobe Lens Profile tool is a Lens Profile Downloader where you can gain access to a community of people who have shared their lens profiles.
3: Wait for Adobe to include it in a dot release of Lightroom.
I checked and I did see the profile for your 60MM available via the downloader.

Lens Profile for Nikon P7100

Looking for a lens profile for my Nikon D7100. The default in LR 4 comes up with a P6000 and a different lens than my P7100. Where can I find user developed profiles or those available from Adobe for download?

Read here:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lensprofile_creator.html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/lensprofile_creator/
Add: I just checked and there is no profile available for the P7100. Unfortunately, nobody created one so far, so you'll have to do it yourself.

Lens profile for Nikon 18-105 1:3.5-5.6 urgently needed

Does anyone have lens profile for Nikon 18-105 1:3.5-5.6. Currently I don't have that lens, so I'm unable to create a profile on my own. Any help will be appreciated.

Nope, the settings has config info. The downloaded profiles for ACR6.1 are located at the first path, and are the same as for CS5 lens correction. I followed this process for both my 16-85VR and 55-200VR profiles, later deleted them, and then re-downloaded in an attempt to figure out the vignetting problem. I did not see a 18-105 profile listed.

P.S. I'm also running W7 64.

Where can download the lens profile for Sigma 14mm 2.8 (nikon D700)

where can download the lens profile for Sigma 14mm 2.8 (nikon D700)

There currently isn't a profile available for download via the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader. You can create your own profile by downloading the Adobe Lens Profile Create from Adobe Labs.

Lens profile request: Nikon Coolpix A

Dear Adobe Lightroom team,
Could you please either add a dedicated lens profile for the new Nikon Coolpix A or advise on which of the many available lens profiles for Nikon glasses would best match the Coolpix A?
Many thanks en avance!

Hello,
you can create your own profile by using the Lens Profile Creator:

You just need a printer, a tripod and a pair of lamps.
