Updating  Lens profile index

Does anyone know of a way to update the index.dat file to include additional lenses? I have recently added lens to the 1.0 folder that holds all of the .LCP files for the lens profiles. However the profiles I added and a few other (such as the apple lens profiles are not being seen by lightroom. I believe the index.dat file needs to be updated. Does anyone know of a way to update this file?

I have the same issue. None of Photoshop CC 32bit, Photoshop CC 64bit or Photoshop CC 2014 managed to get over that update.
If you look in Task Manager, they say the app is "Not responding" - it eats the CPU, but it doesn't access the disk or the network (0 MB/s).
I haven't used much PS and when I try to use it, it doesn't work. What a waste of money and the sad thing is that I still have to pay for another half a year. Adobe is just a bunch of thieves

  • Updating Lens Profiles Database

    I am trying to do an automated photomerge with Photoshop CC on a mac but as soon as the photos are in the document the process of Updating Lens Profiles starts and it just doesn't progress more than 15%. Waited fo a few hours with no success. Help!

    Thanks Ssprengel
    Are you running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click Run-As or a property of the shortcut) so that it has full access to the Lens Database folder(s)?
    Yes.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Have you tried resetting your Photoshop preferences in case something is haywire with them?
    Yes, bij pushing Alt+Ctrl+Shift immediately after starting the application.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Have you turned off OpenGL in your GPU settings?
    Have you run a ScanDisk or Disk Check on your system drive and any scratch space drives?
    Yes
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Do you have any printer-drivers that point to network printers that aren't online or that you can't attach to?
    Do you have any mapped drives or remote-shares that you are attached to that aren't online or inaccessible?
    No.
    After resetting the preferences as described above it "just" took 4 minutes to update the database cache. After restarting, however, the cache apparently needed updating again.
    There seems to be a preferences or settings file that can be deleted in order to force PS to create a new one. But where exactly can it be found and what is it called? (Win XP SP3)

  • After updating to ACR 6.4.1 i've got no new lens profiles

    Hi,
    i've installes LR3.4.1 and CS5 x64/x86.
    Now i've bought a new Fujifilm HS20.
    I read that within ACR 6.4(.1) a lens profile for the Fuji HS20 is included.
    So i start the update out of CS5.
    The update to ACR 6.4.1 runs without errors and completed successfully.
    After a restart of my system i tryed to open an HS20 RAW within CS5
    and i saw that no new lens profiles were available.
    Same within LR3.4.1.
    But booth (LR & CS) are knowing ACR 6.4.1.....
    CS5 -- Help -- System info
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance, Rainer

    Ok, i think this was my mistake.
    I thougt that with the RAW support also a lens profile would come.
    But as i've read http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2011/04/lightroom-3-4-and-camera-raw-6-4-now-avail able.html
    i understood that RAW support and lens profiles do not come togehter.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Mark

    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.

  • 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.

  • Apply Lens profile in Premiere Pro?

    Hi,
    I'm new to Prmiere Pro and video shooting, when I use DLSR to shoot videos, notice some of lights fall off and lens distortion on the wide angle lens I use.
    is there anyway to apply the lens profile in Premiere Pro, like what we usually do in photoshop, lightroom and camera raw?
    Thank you very much.

    Lens profiles should be added to Premiere Pro. They should be ported from Photoshop to Premiere Pro and updated simultaneously.
    Please submit a feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
    It was only in the last few years that people started using a DSLR to shoot video. It was only fairly recently that the video was worth using for any professional purpose. I was hoping that this last release would have it. But no such luck.
    Now, if I could just get my Panasonic lenses added to the profiles. Lots of GH2, GH3 and GH4 users out there would benefit.

  • GoPro Camera Raw Lens Profile settings not working for image sequence in Photoshop/AE/Premiere CS6

    Hey Everyone,
    I'm in need of assistance in either Photoshop CS6, After Effects CS6, or Premiere Pro CS6.  I just installed the trials after seeing Russell Brown demo the GoPro Lens Profile correction feature in Camera Raw.  Basically what I'm looking to do is make adjustments (in Adobe Camera Raw) to a series of still images (shot with the time-lapse mode on the GoPro) and then either export those stills through Photoshop or Bridge to a temporary movie file that will be imported into a timeline (with other video clips), or import the JPG files (with Camera Raw settings) directly into After Effects or Premiere as an image sequence.  The latter would be preferable as it'd avoid the extra step of having to render the intermediate/temporary movie file.
    Right now, my current workflow for GoPro time-lapses is:
              - use Bridge CS4 to do basic color correction on the still images
              - save those as TIF files
              - run the TIF files through a custom script to have Hugin 2012.0.0 (open source pano stitcher) remove the fisheye distortion
              - open the new TIF image sequence into QuickTime Player 7 (Pro)
              - export the image sequence as a QuickTime movie file
              - import the movie file into Premiere Elements 10 to place on a timeline with other video clips (as Premiere Elements can't handle the sequence(s) of thousands of still images without crashing)
    If I can go directly from Bridge to a timeline, it'd save a lot of processing time (and it'd be much nicer to preview the images in Bridge without the fisheye distortion)!
    I can prepare the GoPro JPG files through Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge CS6, though when I go to import the JPEG image sequence into Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6, none of the Camera Raw settings are applied.  If I export the Camera Raw files in Bridge CS6 as DNG files (a step I'd really prefer to avoid) and then import the DNG image sequence into After Effects CS6, the Camera Raw settings are applied except for the Lens Profile settings -- I can pick other cameras but not the GoPro lens profiles when the DNG image sequence loads in After Effects.  It also appears that once I open the DNG files in After Effects CS6, I can no longer access the GoPro Lens Profile in Adobe Bridge CS6 -- the list changes to the same list I get in After Effects.  Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't let me import the DNG files at all.  I've also tried to import the JPG files (as well as the converted DNG files) into an image sequence in Photoshop CS6, though it doesn't allow me to do so (the Image Sequence checkbox is grayed out after I apply the Camera Raw settings in Bridge).
    There could be an issue going on with different Camera Raw versions.  I didn't have Premiere Pro CS6 installed during my initial testing, though now do notice that the Camera Raw dialog in Bridge CS6 only lets me choose compatibility up to "Camera Raw 7.1 and later" when I choose to export the files as DNG.  I thought Camera Raw 8.2 was an option there a couple days ago when I only had installed Photoshop CS6 and After Effects CS6 (though am not 100% certain).
    Please let me know if there is some workaround to get the GoPro lens profile Camera Raw corrections applied in an image sequence in one of the Adobe CS6 products (without having to export the files as temporary TIF or JPG files out of Camera Raw).  I'd greatly prefer to shorten my current workflow for these files.  (I just updated the CS6 trials and have tested all three programs again though I still get the same results described above.)
    Does Lightroom 5 have any option to export Camera Raw image sequences as movie files (or any other feature that might help in simplifying my current workflow)?  I can't install the trial right now as it's not compatible with OS X 10.6.8.  I'd consider upgrading OS X if I knew Lightroom 5 would do what I need, though am waiting for any potential color profile issues to be resolved in OS X 10.9.
    I can open the image sequence in Photoshop CS6 if no Camera Raw settings are applied and then use the Lens Correction Filter to apply the GoPro Lens Profile settings, though I really prefer the Camera Raw interface in Bridge for tweaking image settings.  As soon as I apply Camera Raw settings to the first image, Photoshop CS6 grays out the image sequence checkbox.
    If there isn't a way to take Camera Raw files straight from Adobe Bridge to a timeline, I may stick with my current workflow using CS4 and see what I can do to better automate some of the steps as the TIF export in Bridge, fisheye distortion removal in Hugin, and render in QuickTime Player all take quite a while.  I won't mind waiting for all the processing if I can set it and check back on it in later the next day when it's fully complete.  Is there a way to have Adobe ExtendScript execute an external shell command (i.e.: a command I could type into the bash shell in Terminal in OS X)?  If not, is there a way to call/run an ExtendScript script from the command line and pass a parameter to it that my custom script could use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    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?

  • 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.

  • Lens Profiles not working in Lightroom 5.4?

    I've got OSX 10.9.2, Lightroom 5.4, latest Camera raw, everything up to date.
    When I "Enable Profile Corrections" for an image shot with a Sony a7r and Sony FE 55mm lens, it should automatically retrieve this profile:
      /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Sony/SONY (Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA) - RAW.lcp
    Well, it doesn't.  The only Sony lens available in Lightroom's Lens Correction panel is "Sony DT 18-200mm."  But there are several dozen Sony lense profiles in the "Sony" directory.
    And more puzzling, the camera "Make" menu lists 8 manufacturers (Apple, Canon, DJI, GoPro, Nikon, Sigma, Sony, Tamron) but leaves out a number of others — Fujifilm, Hasselblad, Leica, Mamiya, etc.
    And as with Sony, only one Tamron lens is listed.
    I've tried re-installing Lightroom fresh, and no luck. 
    Photoshop works fine and has all the lens profiles.
    Anyone else noticing this?  Got a fix?
    Irked in Cambridge,
    Mike

    I only shoot in RAW, and I am having this same issue. I shoot Nikon with a Tokina lens. This morning, Tuesday October 14, 2014, I had this setting. I closed the program and restarted it, and now I only have Apple, Canon, DJI, GoPro, Nikon, Sigma, Sony, Tamron lens profiles. There was not an update, nor did I actually change any settings. What is going on here?
    I talked to customer support, whom suggested that I was stoned out of my mind because these profiles do not exist in lightroom. I did as the rep asked, followed the link and downloaded the "new" profile. Now I can't get it installed. Meanwhile, my photos are waiting for me to edit them. Can someone please help out here?!

  • Lens profile not recognized by LR 5.3

    At work, on a Windows 7 laptop, I used the Adobe Lens Profile Creator utility to make an LCP file for a Nikon 1 6.7-13mm zoom lens.  After submitting that LCP file to adobe via email, I copied it to my Dropbox.  At home, on my Mac OS X 10.8.5, I copied the LCP file from the Dropbox to:
    \Library\Application Support\Adobe\Camera Raw\Lens Profiles\1.0\
    Then I launched LR 5.3, navigated to a raw (NEF) image shot with this lens, and attempted to apply the lens correction in the Develop pane.  Although the Library correctly shows the meta data for the lens and camera, the Lens Correction section in Develop does not even list that lenses LCP file in the drop down menu.  Instead, LR attempts to apply a different lens profile which does not match the focal length of the zoom.  I'm wondering if the LCP file that I created will only work on a Windows PC since that is where it was created?  What other explanation could there be for this problem?  Thanks for any advice...

    Update - I stayed up late last night and re-ran the lens profile creator at home on my Mac OS X 10.8.5.  Placed that LCP file in the directory I originally mentioned above (I overwrote the earlier LCP file created on a Windows machine), launched LR 5.3, and LR successfully matched the new profile with my lens.
    Lesson learned - an LCP file created on Windows OS cannot be used on a Mac, and I assume, vice versa.  In retrospect, this shouldn't be a surprise (but some other file formats appear to work on either).  I wonder if Adobe translates user submitted LCP files from one platform to the other, so that downloads are offered to the community equally on either platform...

  • After upgrade to  lightroom 4.3, my canon 7D is not showing up in lens profile correction

    I think this happened after upgrading to lightroom 4.2, but I am not sure as I haven't used Lens profile correction in some time.
    When I enable the "Enable profile corrections" checkbox in "lens corrections" The Make and model of the lens is recognized, but the profile field has only 2 optoins, "canon EOS 1D MK III" and "Adobe". It does not have any other options including the EOS 7D that I use. Tried uninstalling and installing again, that didn't help.
    I found in the forum that for Win 7, lens profile is supposed to be stored in "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0", in my case the LensProfiles directory does not exist. There is a CameraProfiles directory(C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles).
    How do I solve this?

    There is nothing wrong with your lens profiles. 
    The issue is that you are adjusting a JPG not a raw file.  When adjusting raw files the camera model is not listed with the profile because it doesn’t matter and all of them say Adobe as their source for Canon cameras at least, but when adjusting JPGs the camera may have done certain adjustments internally so it does matter and is why you see the wrong lens-distortion occurring when choosing the 5D Mark III profile with your 7D JPGs.
    For the record, I have profiles in both the locations mentioned: under Program Files\...\CameraRaw and under ProgramData\...\Lightroom 4.x.  This makes sense because I have both Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom installed.  The ones under Lightroom are all dated 12/2012 while the ones under Camera Raw are mostly dated 2/2012 with some from 11/2012 and other dates.  The profiles are probably the same, but the Camera Raw ones retain the date of the original profile creation whereas the Lightroom ones all get updated to the same date.  Lens profiles can also be installed with the DNG Converter, although I'm not sure which of the two locations those install to.

  • Lost lens profiles in LR 4-5

    Recently Lightroom no longer finds my lens profile (sigma 17-50mm) on new pictures.  Same camera, same lens, same file format.  It can still use the profile on older pictures but newer pictures it only shows like 5 lens profiles vs the 50+ that were there before.  Similiar behavior on the canon side.   By the way it seems to have lost the ability to see many other lens manufacturers to on the newer pictures.
    So I know the profiles are physically on the system.  I know I can see them in older pictures just not newer ones on the same library.  No update I can think of correlates to the change either.
    Canon 60D jpg & raw, Sigma 17-50mm f2.8
    Lightroom 4 and now also the new lightroom 5.
    Thoughts ?

    Oh I should have known better...yes it was. Why that didn't jump out at me I don't know.
    I modified the RAW profile for jpg and dropped it in
    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Downloaded,
    and I am off to the races.

  • Metadata and lens profile don't match

    Hi,
    I have a Fuji X-e1 and the latest update of LR 4.4 running on 10.6.8, 16GB RAM, all OS software up to date.
    The problem is my Fuji RAW files don't show the correct lens profile in the Develop module. The only choice available to choose is for Fuji X100 (which I've never owned or shot). The metadata in the Library module is correct for both the lens and camera, and also shows correctly in Bridge.
    However, with the same software on a friend's Macbook Pro -- also 10.6.8, LR 4.4, etc. -- the lens profile correctly allows for the X-e1 and 18mm lens auto-correction.
    I uninstalled LR on the desktop using an uninstaller called Zap It, downloaded 4.4, reinstalled and still the same 'error'.
    Any ideas on 1) why the error and 2) how to correct it?
    Thanks!

    There are a lot of profiles for Raw-images but much less for JPG images.
    Lr will display only those lens profiles that apply for the file format in question. So when you have a JPG image the profiles for Raw images will not be displayed in Lr, and vice versa.
    If you don't have the correct lens profile in you list you have to download it.
    For this you need the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader.
    And for this program you need Adobe Air.
    Download both programs from Adobe's website - they are free of charge.
    Then install Adobe Air first, and when that is installed, install the Lens Profile Downloader.
    Once it is installed just open it, it is self-explanatory and will display all available lens profiles once you have selected your camera and lens makes.
