Sony FE 28-70mm in camera + Lightroom lens correction = double correction or overcorrection?

Hello,
I have a Sony A7 with Sony FE 28-70mm kit lens. On the Sony A7, if i select "Shading Compensation" in the camera menu, the camera corrects vignetting in the saved raw file. I have experimented by taking two raw photos, with in camera Shading Compensation turned on and off. I then imported the photos into Lightroom. I then tried turning lens compensation (vignetting) on and off in Lightroom. This confuses me. In the first image (In camera ON and Lightroom correction ON) it looks like vignetting is completely gone. With in camera ON and Lightroom lens correction OFF, there is still clearly remaining vignetting. With in camera OFF and Lightroom ON there is also clearly remaining vignetting
Can someone tell me what the recommended course of action is? Is the Sony in-camera lens correction worse or better than Lightroom? Neither the in-camera nor Lightroom's correction will correct vignetting completely on their own. Does that mean that the Lightroom correction is supposed to be used in tandem with the in camera correction to achieve full vignetting correction? There is lacking information/documentation of this feature, I have looked at both Sony A7 help guide and Adobes documentation about lens correction without finding any info about this situation.
Thank you.

"Shading Compensation" is probably saved as metadata tag in the raw file but the raw file data is not corrected.  This metadata is probably used in the included Sony software to automatically correct the raw for "Shading Compensation" but Lightroom probably does NOT use this data.  You will hopefully get a reply from a Sony user.

  • In-Camera Vignette Control + Profile Vignette Correction = Double Correction?

    Hello,
    I have a D700 with the in-camera setting for Vignette Control set to Normal (the default value).  When applying the profiles shipped with LR3, is vignette correction being applied twice (once in camera and once by LR)?  Or is LR smart enough to compensate for that?  It seems to me that LR would a specific amount of correction based on the settings used by the camera that created the profile (whether that person had Vignette Control on or off).  Can anyone please clarify this?
    Thanks
    Nate

    Correct, only to JPEGs.
    Adobe's profiles are built assuming that the lens corrections are disabled by the camera. So if you try to apply a profile to a camera JPEG that already has vignette correction applied, it will double-correct.

  • Lightroom, 5.5, Mac version: lens metadata incomplete and/or inconsistent.  Photos taken with the same camera and lens display the lens metadata differently in LR 5.5, but are the same in the original files

    LR is putting different descriptions of the same lens, used with the same camera, in the metadata of photos taken on the same occasion.
    For example:
    The following two images were taken with the same camera and lens.
    They were imported at the same time into LR by copying.
    The only difference in treatment is that the first was an untouched out-of camera jpeg, the second had been flipped using Preview on the Mac.
    The one that was flipped has a full description of the lens, the one that was untouched has an abbreviated description.
    When you show the file in the Finder and read the metadata using Preview, the correct full lens description appears.
    Why is LR displaying the metadata differently for these two files?

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

  • 4.4 update doesnt show the Fuji x pro 1 camera for lens adjustments etc

    Looking forward to this update because i use a Fuji X pro 1 and I had read that lightroom 4.4 now supports this camera and sensor.
    However after updating all I get in the Lens adjustment under Fuji is the Fuji x100 which has been their for some time.
    The exif info is showing the correct camera and lens used etc.
    I have tried uninstalling and then manually removing any left over files and folders with no luck.
    Do i have to install support for this camera as an addon?
    Also if i look in the lightroom folder Camera profiles/camera it only lists Canon, Nikon and Sony
    Any ideas.?
    Thanks all.

    The location you describe looking in has camera-match raw-sensor profiles for the three brands you mention plus a few for Leica and Pentax, I think.
    The Adobe Standard peer folder of the Camera folder you mention has the raw-sensor profiles for each camera that Adobe supports which and is where you’ll find your Fuji raw-sensor profile.
    Your question seems to be about a lens-profile, though, not the raw-sensor profile and those profiles are up one more folder and down into the LensProfiles folder area.
    There aren’t that many brands of camera-lens combinations supported by Adobe and the X Pro 1 is one that isn’t one that is supported by Fuji, and just the X100 is, which you’ve already discovered.
    There are additional profiles that have been created by users such as yourself and published for other users to use that can be downloaded by the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader; however, there are none for the X Pro 1, there, either, so you’ll either need to create your own lens profile using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator, or wait for another user to create a lens profile, or do without.  This is the normal situation for most non-high-end cameras.
    Adobe pays people to do things and prioritizes tasks, pruning ones that are “less necessary” or “less beneficial” using whatever criteria they have.  This is normal in a market-driven economy where there is always a balance between price and service.  If LR was twice as expensive, then Adobe might be able to provide more profiles, but there would be less Fuji owners buying it due to the higher price, right?  If the world economy picks up and more people buy Adobe products, assuming people still use PCs and Macs and not tablets, then there may be more money to throw at things like profiles for camera-xyz.

  • Why all the micro4/3 (Panasonic and Olympus) lenses are missing in Lightroom lens corrections?

    Is there a reason why all the micro4/3 lenses (panasonic, Leica and Olympus) are missing as lens corrections in all Lightroom versions?

    They are not missing. 
    Within the last year or two many cameras do their own lens corrections before writing the JPG or even displaying the image on the back of the camera or in the electronic view finder, so Adobe does the same thing:  the lens profiles are built into the camera raw engine and always applied.  It’s confusing because cameras didn’t used to do this and Adobe didn’t used to do this, so we have the situation of older cameras having lens profiles you had to select from the dropdown lists, while newer cameras don’t require this.  Of course removable-lens cameras still have this situation, but many/most recent P&S cameras have built-in lens corrections.
    The Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop actually indicates when a built-in profile is being used, but LR does not, yet.

  • Can I obtain a Camera Raw lens profile for my Fujifilm X100S?

    Can I obtain a Camera Raw lens profile for my Fujifilm X100S?

    The Fuji X100S uses built-in lens profile supplied in the raw files, themselves, so Adobe applies the profile automatically and it cannot be turned off.
    There is no indication of the profile being applied in Lightroom but the recent versions of the Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop will indicate that a built-in profile is being used:

  • Lens Correction won't list my camera and lens

    Why won't the Lens Correction filter recognize my camera and lens, which is shown in the metadata below the correction window?  I had been using the venerable Canon 5D Mk II and now the Mk III.  For images taken with the III it doesn't even list Canon in the Camera dropdown -- too new?  Even with the II, I had to choose the camera manually and then choose the lens from a very tedious list, and had no indication if it was using the focal length in the case of a zoom, or the aperture.
    I do strongly prefer to do this correction in Camera Raw or Lightroom, and realize it needs to be done on an uncropped image to be accurate.  I'm probably missing something, but why even present it as an auto correction if it can't use the metadata?  Why not just limit it to the manual correction?

    Lens Correction within Photoshop - CS5 E and CS6 E- Shows camera/lens info for the 5DMkIII in the lower left hand corner,  but nothing in the drop down menu.
    CS5:
    CS6:
    But with both CS5 E and CS6E,  it's the reverse here. Bottom left corner doens't show camera information, but I can select it manually from the drop down list. Also, I can select the other items just about the drop down menus list.
    CS5
    CS6
    Sorry for appearing to post duplicate images, but they aren't. It's screen captures from both CS5 Extended and CS6 Extended.
    Anything from Canon 7D and earlier (including most of the Canon Powershots, but not the G1X), I get all the options in the drop down menus on the right. Canon 5DMkIII and Olyumpus OMD EM5, nothing.
    I hope that's documented enough.

  • My Lightroom lens corrections need correcting. Is this normal?

    I have bought myself my 1st DSLR camera (Nikon D3100) as i now want to shoot Raw instead of Jpeg. I've always shot Jpegs in the past with my old cameras. The in-camera Jpegs from my new Nikon don't show any lens distortion. However, when i open the Raw (NEF) files in Lightroom and tick 'enable profile correction' in the Lens corrections section, the distortion correction seems too much and i have to manually adjust it every time.
    The lens profile comes from Lightroom itself (not from other users), & so this doesn't seem quite right to me that the correction is somewhat wrong each time.
    I'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong or that maybe its even normal to have to adjust the correction further yourself each time (and perhaps most users have to do that too)?
    I've included 3 Jpegs of the same image to demonstrate the problem (detailed below):
    1) The export from Lightroom with the lens distortion corrected by Lightroom (note the straight red line).
    2) An exported Jpeg version of the uncorrected Nef from Lightroom  (to show the full original lens distortion)
    3) The original in-camera Jpeg (obviously the distortion corrected by the camera)
    I've  drawn straight red lines on to the images to demonstrate the differences.
    Any ideas?
    ^ above image is a Lightroom exported Jpeg (from NEF) with lens correction ON (note the red line along the top of the roof)
    ^ above image is a Lightroom exported Jpeg (from NEF) with NO lens correction yet, thus showing original distortion.
    ^ above image is the ORIGINAL in-camera JPEG showing no distortion at all (note the red line along the top of the roof).
    P.s i've taken different shots too and the problem is the same for them all (at least at 18mm anyway).
    Additional information:
    The Nikon D3100 has an APS-C sensor (I'm not sure if that's significant or not). Also the lens described in the profile correction matches the one from my camera.

    Hi Paul,
    I'm really not sure exactly what DxO outputs when you choose DNG:
    It's not raw data, yet preserves some ability to do raw things in Lightroom, like white balance and camera profiles.
    I dunno about pulling from highlight/shadow "reserves", but note: it's different than a DNG-wrapped tif or jpeg, it may be able to pull from the highlight/shadow reserves as can be done via the DNG used for smart previews - I just don't know.
    trshaner: do you know for sure that a DxO DNG hard-clips shadows/highlights, or are you just "extrapolating/assuming/educatedly-guessing"?
    Regardless, DxO has some auto shadow/highlight recovery (for those extreme black/white tones) that is quite good - don't sell it short.
    Google 'dxo linear dng highlights.' Here's one that supports what I said:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/663428
    I've tried using Canon's DPP for the same purpose with TIFF output AND with DPP's highlight recovery. I can't get the same highlight recovery with the TIFF as compared to the raw inside LR with PV2012.

    I still think about it when Lr's lens corrections are wonky. But my problem with Lr's lens corrections have more to do with vignetting than distortion (because I mostly shoot nature, not buildings...), and I can add manual correction and/or a dab of paint to the automatic corrections, which saves me the complication of front-ending via DxO. If distortion is your primary concern, consider balancing auto with manual distortion corrections (I've not done much of that, so no guarantee...). Also, there's the upright feature in Lr5...
    What's wrong with simply changing the Lens Profile 'Amount' settings from 100 if a specific lens profiles is "over-correcting" or "under-correcting? Don't forget most zoom lenses have a "complex" moustache shaped distortion, which is NOT easily corrected with LR's Manual Distortion control. You can certainly try both, but there's no way to save the Manual Distortion "correction" setting to a specific lens profile's defaults.

    PPS - DxO's purple fringe tool will get the fringe out without the artifacts of Lr's global defringer, however it may also take away real image color sometimes, and can't be done locally, so one may ultimately get better results in Lr if willing to spend a while painting local defringing.
    I've never seen any artifacts caused by the LR Defringe tools (see image posted of Canon 8-15mm Fisheye lens CA), but you do need to be very careful concerning the actually settings used. After using the eyedropper tool to sample a fringe area I fine tune the settings to eliminate desaturation of areas that have similar color as the fringe area. Once you have the correct settings save it to a Develop preset for manual application. For example with my Canon 8-15mm F4L Fisheye zoom I have two (2) Develop presets of 8-12mm (Purple 2, 30/55) and 13-15mm (Purple 4, 30/55). There is no need to use Local controls with Defringe if you follow my suggestions for manually tuning the settings to prevent desaturation in like colored areas. IMHO the LR CA and Defringe tools are darn near perfect when you use them correctly!

  • I want to enter the info specific to my camera and lens into the lens corrections options in P'shop 2014 and L'room 2015 but they're not on the list. (Nikon D-750 with 24-120 lens). How do I fix this?

    I recently upgraded from a Nikon D-7000 to a D-750 with the Nikkor 24-120 mm lens but they aren't on the list of options in either P'shop or Lightroom under camera and lens profiles. Since every tutorial I viewed on the 24-120 lens suggested fixing the distortion issues in P'shop, how do I make the choice without those specific products being on the list? (P'shop 2014, L'room 2015)

    A few do shoot in JPEG...I definitely do not!

  • Missing Camera and Lens Metadata after iPhoto Import

    I've noticed that the Photos for Mac app seems to have "lost" all of the Camera and Lens Metadata associated with each of my photos. Has this happened to anyone else?
    No matter which photo I choose, the Info inspector window shows "No Camera Information" and "No Lens Information".  I've confirmed that the Camera and Lens metadata is still present in the original iPhoto Library. 
    If I create a new iPhoto Library with just a dozen or so pictures and then choose that Library when launching Photos for Mac, by pressing the Option key while clicking the Icon, the photos are imported with the Metadata intact.  Clearly something went wrong with the import of my much larger main iPhoto library. (The main library has over 100,000 photos in it.)
    I'm wondering if there is some way to force Photos for Mac to re-index the Metadata.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Michael
