Updated version of Lens Profile Creator crashes

The updated version of Lens Profile Creator occasionally crashes some time after hitting the Generate Profiles button. This happens maybe 1/3 of the time. The first version does not crash. This is on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit running under Vmware with about 2 Gig of memory allocated. When it crashes the window generally just goes away with no popups or messages. Any suggestions are appreciated but the first version is working for me.

After limited testing it seems to work OK if Windows 7 runs it in XP SP2 compatibility mode.
I will have to run it longer to be sure.

Adobe Lens Profile Creator Crashes with DNG files

Hi, I'm using Win 7 with the latest version of the Adobe Lens Profile Creator, v 1.0.4. I have no issues generating profiles from jpeg or tiff files, but every time I try to add a DNG file, I get a "Adobe Lens Profile Creator has stopped working..." error message. The DNG files were created from a Canon 5D Mk II .CR2, using the latest DNR converter 7.3.
The crash information from Windows Reliability Monitor goes:

create an jpg/tif – profile

open this lcp with an editor
search any “False” and rename it to “True”
save it and you have a perfect raw - lensprofile
Ok, but what does it mean rename and correct the content of the lcp file?
It remains a profile created from jpg source, CameraRaw could consider it like a raw lens profile but it has no more value than a jpg profile, I believe...
Anyway, for whatelse it could be useful your suggestion to modify lcp file?
Thank you for your attention

Lens Profile Creator crashes on startup

I have a very weird problem.
I have a Mac Pro, OS X 10.6.4, very healthy, passed all the hardware tests etc. The problem is the LPC keeps crashing on startup.
I redownloaded it and tried everything I could think of.. still it keeps on crashing. Now I just formatted the Mac, I have a brand new drive, and guess what, it still crashes on start up.
Anyone have a clue why?

Hi Simon.
I found the reason for this crashing. Where can I submit this bug report?
It's weird but it's repeatable:
It's a 2008 Mac Pro with OS X 10.6.4 installed. I have two displays (Dell UltraSharp 2408) - one in landscape and one in portrait mode. In system prefs I usually move the dock and menu bar to the portrait display on the right (by default it's on the landscape display). This is what crashing LPC. When I move the dock and menu bar back to the landscape display, it won't crash. it's the same on both my computers.
I tried it several times now and it is 100% repeatable.

I updated to the latest version of Adobe Air, I uninstalled the previous (1.0) version of Lens Profile Downloader (dragged it to the trash and emptied the trash), and I rebooted my Mac. I have tried downloading the file and rebooting my Mac several times and get the same error message every time. Any other suggestions?

Does the Lens Profile Creator work with Photoshop Elements 8.0..?

Hello,
I am very new to the world of Photoshop, so please forgive if this is an obvious/stupid question...
I am using Photoshop Elements 8.0 and I have a couple of pictures that I need to remove the 'fish eye' lens distortion from around the edges...
The blurb for the Lens Profile Creator says that it is for use in the "Adobe Photoshop® family of products"...
Does this include Photoshop Elements 8.0 or do they really mean it is just for Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw and Photoshop Lightroom...
Any help will be appreciated...
Many Thanks

PSE does not have the user-interface to turn on lens-corrections, nor does the ACR 6.1 update for PSE contain the lens-profile database installer, so if PSE is the only member of the PS-family that you have installed then effectively you cannot apply lens profiles.
If a computer has the lens-profile database installed and lens-distortion-correction has been enabled in the XMP sidecar for a particular image, both requiring PS-CS5's ACR 6.1-updater or LR3 to be installed and one of those used to enable lens-corrections for the image, then PSE can use ACR 6.1 to apply a lens profile, because the version of the ACR 6.1 plug-in for PS and PSE is the same plug-in.
BTW, removing fish-eye distortion completely, which is what enabling lens-corrections does by default, will leave a rather poor looking image that has been completely rectilinearized but has severe stretching of the pixels at the edges, so only the center is useable. With my 8mm Sigma fisheye, I reduce the Distortion part of the correction down to 44 so the black corners are gone, but there is still some bulging of the image.
If you want to experiment with lens-corrections, you could install the 30-day trial of LR3.

Probs using Lens Profile Creator

What's wrong?
When I add images to a lens profile creator project they are correctly listed at the left. The thumbs as well as the gigger image above are not shown. They remain plainly black. Same happens when using the sample images that came with the program download.
I cannot measure the on screen width of the checkers because I cannot see them
Any hints?

How is the best way to capture frame in Lens Profile Creator?

Hello, I read in the Shooting Guide related to Adobe Lens Profile Creator:
When framing the chart in different areas of the image frame, use a combination of physically moving and tilting the camera to achieve an optimal balance for LCP generation.
i. Only moving the camera to frame, so that image plane stays perfectly parallel to the chart, can have an adverse affect on LCP calibration data.
ii. Only tilting the chart may cause depth-of-field issues, where part of the chart may go too far out of focus due to the large angle of the chart in regards to the image plane. This can also have an adverse affect on LCP calibration data
Ok, but I'm not able to understand at all, please help me:
1) is it better if I'll rotate the camera on tripod to left and to right or is it better phisically moving the tripod to left and to right?
2) is it better if I'll tilt up or down the camera on the tripod or it's better picking up or down the tripod bar?
3) if it should be better make a combination of tild and rotate and move the camera how can I know the optimal combination?
I hope that someone who has experimented this could explain me better
Thank you everybody
Damiano

I don't know what is technically optimal, but there is an aspect of practical convenience here, as well.
In my experiments with this, I physically moved the tripod in the left-and-right direction, and then re-aimed the camera vertically as required in order to put the target into the desired part of the frame. I was happy with the results, though I did not make any deep comparative study.
IMO whatever technique permits you to make a sufficient variety of reasonably careful acquisitions, without being unfeasibly difficult, and which the analysis tool does not reject, is probably going to be good enough.

Adobe Lens Profile Creator - ERROR (Detect corners failed because file reading errors ocurred)

1) I have successfully created a lens profile for a Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 40mm 2.8 lens used in a Nikon D5200 Camera. For this I converted the raw .nef files to .DNG first using Adobe's DNG Converter.
2) When trying to create another lens profile using the EXACT SAME .DNG files as posted in 1), I am no longer able to create a lens profile because of the message "Detect corners failed because file reading errors ocurred". I am also unable to create any other lens profile using different photos.
3) I have also tried using a fresh install of Adobe Lens Profile Creator in another mac and I get the exact same error.
4) I AM ABLE to create a lens profile if I use .jpg files (generated from the same raw .nef files as mentioned) but this doesn't help because then the profiles don't show up when trying to open a raw file in Adobe Camera Raw.
Please help as this is exasperating.
Thank you.

Thanks! I had the same error message in Adobe Lens Profile Creator 1.0.4 for OSX and I found the problem to be the letter ö in the folder name for the DNGs. The lens is an old ISCO-Göttingen and the progress stopped at 2% with the mentioned error message. Changed the folder name and now it works!

Adding a Lens Profile to lightroom from Adobe lens profile creator

Hi, I just made a lens profile from the lens profile creator for my Canon 80-200 2.8L. I then added the profile to the 1.0 folder that holds all the other lens profiles. However, lightroom does not list to profile as an option in the lens profiles. Is there something else that I need to do?

While the more recent PDF link still works, the “Lightroom Queen” has done some recent website maintenance and the URL for default locations of files is different:
http://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/lightroom-5-default-locations/
Obviously the link I provided had my username “Steve” in it and you’d be substituting your username, instead. Also the AppData folder is hidden so you have to either enable viewing hidden folders in Explorer or just type it into the Explorer address bar and hit Enter.
The other issue you might have, which was already talked about in the preceding discussion, is that camera profiles are specific to raw or non-raw formats and if what is in your DNG is a JPG then perhaps it wouldn’t work.
Would you mind providing the DNG and the associated camera profile via a website like dropbox.com and if you have it, the original file that was wrapped up as a DNG?

Should I bother with the Adobe Lens Profile Creator?

I am concentrating mostly on architectural photography these days and I need a pep talk about the "Adobe Lens Profile Creator". The process seems laborious and error prone - in other words it could end up being a waste of time and money (for the printing of the calibration charts). Has anyone used it to good effect? And with what lenses?
I do the bulk of my work with the 24mm PC-E Nikkor f/3.5 lens and I also use two older lenses - the 28mm PC Nikkor f/3.5 and (my favorite) the 15mm Nikkor f/3.5. All three lenses suffer from a small amount of barrel distortion and chromatic aberration so some correction is usually needed.
I have two specific reservations about the lens profiling process -
1. It came out with Photoshop CS5. Since then the manual controls have increased in sophistication. Can't I get pretty much the same result using the manual adjustments?
2. In my drop-down menu in Adobe Camera Raw CC there are eighty-one lenses listed - but not the three I am using! This is crazy and reflects badly on the people who designed the whole process. Who cares about perspective correction in a 600mm lens?
Anyway, I would appreciate a reply from anyone who has gone through the profiling process. Thanks.
Kevin from Cambridge, Massachusetts

Lens profile creator - Best Practises

Forgive me for my ignorance but I am completely new to Lens Profile Creator (and a novice photographer to boot ) and I must confess that I have not read the documentation in great depth, but I am a little confused.
I am a Lightroom 3 user and no lens profiles are availble in LR3 for two of my lenses. So, I took the plunge and have attempted to create the required profiles. The lenses in question are the AF-S Nikkor 16-85mm 1:3.5-5.6G ED and the Sigma 105mm 1:2.8D DG Macro. My camera is a Nikon D300.
The confusion is that documentation is not clear on how many combinations of aperture and focal length (for zoom lenses) is required (or recommended) in a single lens profile. For example, for my Sigma 105 should I shoot nine images at each available aperture (from f2.8 through f32 (i.e. a minimum of 72 images!) or is 9 images at a single aperture enough? If a single aperture is sufficient what should that aperture be?
Whilst I find the procedures to capture the required images straight forward ( if a little tedious) if I have to shoot nine images at each aperture for a zoom lens at minimum, maximum and the mid point of the zoom range, then the number of required images becomes enormous

I have developed five profiles so far and I can help you somewhat. You may also wish to hear from Adobe. The hardest profile that I developed was for my point and shoot, the Nikon Coolpix P6000, which shoots raw images, of .NRW Type, and my profile was for raw images, as are all of the profiles that I have done. I think the lens resolution is very low for that Coolpix camera compared to my other excellent fast Nikons, and the coolpix caused me much problems in my profiles, but I found ways around some of the issues, and had to use less images in some of my sets and I had to use the advanced tab to use less parameters in some cases, and that helped.
You want to vary at least the aperture in your sets. Sets are considered to be images with at least one thing common - such as aperture. So, you could have eight sets of nine images = 72 images, as you said, for your Sigma, if you use each aperture. However, you may also want to vary the distance from the target. Thus if you used two distances for each aperture, 72 x 2 = 144 images.
For your zoom; yes, I did shoot sets at each zoom focal length setting when I recently profiled my Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 lens. I had twenty sets of images with nine images in each set. That equals 180 images for that one lens. And I did not shoot different distances for each focal length. If I had done that, I could have had 360 images of course. I shot images for that lens at f2.8, f8, f11, and f22, and at zoom focal length settings for each aperture, of 17mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm.
You can choose to use the same chart or different charts; I used 3 charts for my 17-35 images, size 29x41, 36 points, and I also used chart with huge squares, size 9x13, 108 points, and a third chart of size 27x45, 54 points. *Be sure* to measure the needed square size for each set and change the chart size per what you used in that set and the square size, entered on the right side.
For my other profiles that I have done, I have used a minimum of twelve sets of nine images each, up to twenty sets of nine images each. I always shot mine at the minimum aperture, and at f8, and f11(per Eric's recommendation to use f11), and also at either f16 or f22, whichever I felt I used the most for that lens(nine sets each). I also used the minimum aperture for a given zoom fully zoomed out(my 24-120 at 120 yields f5.6) and zoomed in(the 24-120 at 24mm is at f3.5). And I used at least four focal lengths for my zooms(and I used different distances also for the point and shoot P6000 profile).
Hope this helps you.
Debra
