Lightroom :: Add New Camera And Lenses To Lens Correction Profile Module
May 31, 2012
I refer to Lightroom version 3.6. I have purchased a panasonic-gx1 plus 14-42mm & 45-175mm lenses and would like to add the lens profiles to the lens correction module.
Unless it is hidden away in an area i've yet to discover, where the lens profile/correction module is hiding? Simple enough to enable in 3.5...alas, can't find it in 3.6.
Recently bought into the m43s system because of the compact fast primes (Lumix G 20 1.7 and Olympus 24 1.8) and it looks like there are no "built-in" lens profiles for either in LR4 when I check "enable lens corrections". I thought I read somewhere that the 20 1.7 requires correction as it has a significant amount of (barrel, iirc) distortion if not corrected, yet the RAW images look fine upon import -- is Lightroom doing something that does not require a profile?
I'm just beginning to work with Photoshop CS5. When I was editing with the camera raw features; I discovered that there had not been a "Lens Profile Correction" loaded for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 with a Leica lens 14-150. I"m looking for a method to get this lens added to the Profile Connection.
Using LR 3.5.1. When applying Lens Corrections/Profile/Enable in Default, my Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 actual lens is being corrected by the profile for a Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 lens. I can tell it's the wrong correction because the barrel distortion after using the default profile is not corrected, and when I manually select the 4-5.6 lens the correction is perfect. So I know the right data is embedded in the LR correction data bank but is not being used.
I found that when I set the profile Setup selector to "Auto" the correct lens is selected and the correction it makes is "correct." But then moving to the next photo it switches to Default again, selecting the wrong lens, and so has to be set to Auto for each photo. This action doesn't seem to me to me an expected result called "Setup." I need this for my home interior photography, and with hundreds of photos a week I don't want to manually operate this. This didn't happen until v.3.4 or 3.5, I think.
So, how do I get it to select the right lens as the Default, or get the Auto setting to stick? Either would do. (Seems to me they logically are the same thing).
In addition, why isn't it possible to have the profile itself enabled as a default perhaps in a preset - or is that possible and I don't know how to do it? In other words, once it's working right, why not make it an import preset for that lens?
I'm trying out the new Sigma 24-105 DG lens with my 5D M II. The lens profile is not yet in the list of Sigma lenses. I checked and my LR is up to date with the latest version 5.3. Is there a way to find the lens profile to import for LR lens correction function? Or do I just need to wait until LR updates for new lenses?
How or where can I get the lens correction profile for the Canon 18-135 STM lens in Lightroom 5 ? In effect he is not available in my list of correction lens so my lightroom is up to date apparently.
where to get the plug-in to use the auto lens profile correction in Lightroom for the above stated lens? Adobe only have the older 18-250, and even on the new 5.3 LR version, still have not supplied the plug-in for this lens!
I would like to set a camera default for a D3 and D7100 -- Settings > Set Default Settings... -- to include a Camera Calibration Profile AND the Lens Correction Profile setting to Enable Profile Corrections and have LR identify which lens is in use for each file.
The Camera Calibration Profile is no problem since it's the same for each respective body, no matter which lens I use.
However, since I use different lenses, I would like the Lens Correction Profle to find the correct lens for each file. In the Lens Corrections > Profile > Setup dropdown, I am not sure whether to use Default or Auto. (Note: the default is Custom, but when I tried that, the D3 lenses were not correctly identified whereas the D7100 lenses were.) I am not sure what the difference is between the Default and Auto settings. I want to be sure to use whichever setting will apply the correct profile, and have this be part of my camera default so that I don't have to visit the Lens Corrections panel over and over again. Note: I only shoot RAW files.
What camera profile should or could I use for a Nikon Coolpix P510? There is no profile for that specific camera --- the only choice is a Coolpix P6000. My Nikon DSLR lens profiles are all there --- not the Coolpix.
The P510 has a 4.8-180mm f/3/3 - 5.9 lens; the P6000 profile uses a 6-24mm f/2.7-5.9 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 drop down -- 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. why even present it as an auto correction if it can't use the metadata? Why not just limit it to the manual correction?
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'.
I often use a couple of lenses when I am out shooting. When I return I import all my photos into LR. I would like to apply LENS CORRECTION to all photos so I selected all the photos that I have imported (CNTL A) and then go to the lens correction area in the development panel. I then "ENABLE LENS CORRECTION" and SYNC the photos.
When I do this it applies the lens correction from the len used in shooting the first photo in the series of photos that I have selected. It DOES NOT recognise when I change lenses. HOWEVER, if I go to any specific individual photo and enable lens correction it does apply the correct lens profile.
WHY does the sync not recognize a change in lenses?
I am using Photoshop CS6 on a PC running Win7. In the previous version I was able to save a profile in the Lens Correction panel. In this version I can find my camera and my lens but it won't let me save the profile. I only real estate and straight verticals are very important.
In LR 4.4 lens correction profiles works fine for my Canon 70-200 f/4L IS USM, but when I use the Canon Extender 1.4 III with this lens there is no correction profile available.How do I obtain a profile covering this?
I'm unable to find a profile for my Canon 5D Mark III within the PS CS6 lens correction filter. In fact, Canon isn't even available as a camera make option within the Search Criteria box, nor are any canon lenses. When I click the Search Online button, the prompt reads "No online profiles found".
I have no problem within Light room 4 (the Mark III and lenses are recognized)-- however, I'd really like to be able to use the new Adaptive Wide Angle Lens filter within CS6, which needs the camera's EXIF data to function correctly. I'm using a new i Mac OS X.7
When I try to use Lens Correction in LR 5 I get a restricted number of profiles, none of which match my standard Nikon 28-300mm zoom. However when I open the images in Camera Raw I have automatic access to this profile. I also have access to a custom Fuji profiles which I have downloaded and installed with Adobe Profile Downloader but which don't appear in the Lightroom module. Developing my images in Camera Raw before using Lightroom?
I had always assumed that Camera Raw formed the basis of Lightroom.
if it's possible to set a default to "on" for the Enable Profile Corrections, and Remove Chromatic Abberation options in the basic panel under "Lens Corrections" in Lightroom 5, ?
And if not - can I make a plea to whoever decides these things that it really would be VERY useful to have it.
So, I've recently purchased Lightroom and love it. Only problem is adding lens profile to each photo. I worked out there is a bulk setting, but I use multiple Canon lenses, the 24-105, the 70-200 and 60mm Macro. If I apply lens correction in bulk to all images it will go by what's on the first image. Say for example the first image was taken with the 60mm it will apply that correction to all photos despite what lens they were taken with.
I went through the rest and unticked and reticked Canon and it selected the correct lens this time, but not in bulk. What is the correct way to set this to happen in bulk or is it not possible?
