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.

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.

You cannot open Raw files from the Samsung NX300 in CS5.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
You need Adobe Camera Raw 7.4 or later which is only compatible with CS6 or later.
Some choices:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Join the CCPP
Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files from the NX300 to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5

Probably.
Apple does not do this, nor do they sell the parts.

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
MK

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.

How can i add the Sigma 10mm 2.8 Fisheye lens profile from the camera profile in windows to lightroom 5?

It only seems to give me a 15mm fisheye option for Sigma and not the 10mm even though it is a profile in the camera profiles folder.
Can anyone help with importing this profile into Lightroom?

Just so it is black and white for my sake. I am shooting with a Nikon D7100 using a Sigma Fisheye 10mm 2.8 and using the Lens Profile of the Sigma 15mm 2.8mm on Lightroom.
Then the correct profile to use is the Sigma 10mm F2.8 if you want proper Vignetting correction and matching Distortion correction, but you'll need to shoot camera raw images (i.e. no JPEG lens profile). This is also why you are only seeing partial correction. As I said, "With a crop factor camera only the central crop area of the full-frame Sigma 15mm lens profile will be applied."
That said there is absolutely nothing wrong with using the Sigma 15mm lens profile with your crop factor Nikon D7100 if you are happy with the partial correction results, but you can also do this using the correct Sigma 10mm lens profile (set less than 100). There is a fisheye correction plugin called Fisheye-Hemi that works very similar in that it only applies partial correction. You're getting about the same results as Fisheye-Hemi for free using partial correction with the LR lens profile tool. That should make you happy! I suggest experimenting with both the 15mm and 10mm lens profiles and start shooting camera raw image files. Your're not realizing the camera's full capability shooting JPEGs!
In the DSC_7098 images posted none of them look very sharp (slow shutter speed?). Other than geometric correction I can't judge the posted images for "sharpness" in the corrected areas, which is the major concern. The biggest issue with rectilinear correction of fisheye images is loss of detail in areas with the most correction (edges and corners). If that were not the case people would use fisheye lenses for ALL wide-angle images and simply correct them inside LR. Sadly that's not the case and using LR's Lens Profile Distortion and other transform tools to correct fisheye images considerably softens the corrected areas (sides and corners).
Fisheye geometric distortion with some subjects is almost undetectable. So how much correction you need will vary by subject type and what the end use for the image. Any fisheye image that has correction applied will lose sharpness in the corrected areas, which may be fine for most purposes other than large prints.So it's best not to strive for 100% rectilinear correction–Just the correction needed to make the image look better.
Canon 8-15mm F4L FE on 5D MKII Full-Frame @ 15mm (No correction)
Looks good to me with no correction!
For more flexibility and better results PS's Wide Angle Adaptive filter and content aware fill tools will retain more image detail in the corrected areas. Here's the same lens and camera with an image processed in PS:
15mm Full-Frame Fisheye
LR Distortion = 50 (partial) PS Adaptive Wide Angle Filter + Content Aware Fill
The corner image detail is about the same in both of the above images at 1:1 view. Partial LR Distortion correction is good!
So what happens if I apply 100 Distortion correction to the image inside LR?
1:1 Compare View (lower-left) with LR Distortion = 100
100% LR Distortion correction of fisheye images is NOT good IMHO!

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.

P7800 - No internal or external lens profile & only Matrix as camera profile:

How to use lens profile from Lightroom 5 in Lightroom 4

I'm using Lightroom 4.4 on a five-year-old iMac. I haven't been able to upgrade to LR 5 because it requires an operating system upgrade, but the technicians at the Apple Store say my machine is too old for the upgrade. I just bought a new Sony 18-105 lens which requires siginificant software lens correction. It has been included in the latest ACR in LR 5, but not LR 4. Is there any way I can locate and load the lens profile for just this one lens in my LR4? I've looked and there is no profile in the Adobe Porfile Downloader I can use.

Zenfolio purposely disables saving of images from the gallery, so requires some deviousness to get to a smallish version of the underlying JPG image, here:
http://fiegenschuhphotography.zenfolio.com/cdn/pub/uf9epzjb9ekl/0/null/mk/2ho0rvxl_mbq61ne tqcu/s2/v61/p207717972-3.jpg
Figgie123, can you provide an original-sized raw file to test with? Upload it to somewhere like www.dropbox.com then post the public download link, here. The file on Zenfolio is small, difficult to even download, and isn't what you're working with when the lens profiles are not working for you. The idea is to repeat what you're doing to see if we have the same issues.
Here is what applying a Sony E PZ 18-105 F4 G OSS profile looks like in Photoshop Lens Corrections and I don't really see any change compared with the Zenfolio image:

Is it possible to have the camera lens replaced?

Some how my camera lens has gotten scratched up, so now every time I take a picture it comes out blurry. Is it possible to have the lens replaced? Has anyone ever had that done?

I don't believe Apple does this. They will exchange your phone under an out of warranty exchange for $149

Camera lens missing from phone

I've got iphone 5. And the problem is that the camera lens is missing from back. My phone is under warranty. Will it be replaced or what..plz tell me

I guess it would depend upon why it's missing and if your AppleCare is still active.
If it is missing due to acciddental damage (drops, etc), then that would be considered an "Out Of Warranty" repair, and it would cost you about $269 USD (unless you have an active AppleCare+ where there are 2 "incidents" where you can get your phone replaced for $49).
If it is due to manufacturing defect, then it would be covered under the 1 year Mfr Warranty, so if you have proof of purchase, or have it registered with Apple, then it should be covered for a free replacement as long as you are within 1 year of the device's purchase.

Is it possible to extract the xpath for fields from a XML file

Hi,
After all we do the recording to capture the xpath of the fields, so i thought of extracting xpath from a XML file will be a good idea.
Is there a way to do this?
Please suggest
regards
Suresh

Yes, there is. Go to the Tools menu -> Generate XPaths and load in your xml file. Select the element you are interested in and you will get the XPath to utilise.

Is it possible to switch the graphicscard in mbp from nvidia to intel under windows 8 (like osx do it)?

i want to use sometimes the intel graficscard under windows 8.1 rather than using the nvidia one( to save energie). so under osx the system automatically changes the graficscard on the fly - is this (automatically or manual) possible under windows 8.1or windows 7? if yes, how?! iÄm using a MacBook Pro Retina late 2013 (with nvidia 750m).

Hmm, long story short. Have a look around this site and others regarding EFI installation of Windows. Some hardware will allow it (even through Bootcamp, though they're rare and late-model) and some won't. On the ones that will allow it there can be problems such as no sound, for one.
The main benefit of EFI as I see it is that you can have as many partitions as you wish, rather than being limited to 4 with the normal CSM (bios) Bootcamp method.

ACR won't automatically identify Lens Profile Correction even though lens can be manually selected from drop-down

One of my most-used lenses is the new Canon EF 16-35L f/4.0
It does need lens profile correction; but Adobe Camera Raw isn't automatically loading it, as it does with all my other L lenses.
I can manually pick the lens from the list, so the profile has definitely been loaded, but manual selection takes time, and time is bad for workflow.

If that lens profile is indeed the proper one for your lens, rather than something being slightly different and why ACR isn’t selecting it, then the situation is easy to fix:
When you have a raw photo open that was taken with that lens, then in the Lens Corrections / Profile tab, first choose the proper lens profile, then under Setup, choose Save New Lens Profile Defaults. That should tell ACR you want it to choose that profile whenever it sees the lens the current raw file was taken with.
For this to work your CR defaults for photos opened with that camera need the Lens Corrections / Setup default set to Default and not Auto. Auto will skip the manually-defined defaults and Default won’t.
To set the Camera Raw defaults open a new raw photo that doesn’t have any adjustments, set the Lens / Setup to Default (rather than Custom or Auto) and choose Save New Camera Raw Defaults from the menu that appears after clicking on the small icon at the right of the Lens Corrections title bar.
