Lightroom :: Lens Corrections Applied To Corrected Images?
Aug 29, 2013
I was just looking through some images and I realized that somehow I have managed to apply lens corrections to exported jpeg and tiff files. These are images that I exported from raw to tiff to jpg through Photoshop and what I think happened was that I didn't notice that Lens Corrections were being applied when I reimported the tiff back into Lightroom. Of course, the lens correction was applied when I developed the raw and made the tiff in Photoshop (or JPEG when I exported thru Lightroom), so a second correction just distorts the image.
is there some mechanism in Lightroom that keeps you from shooting yourself in the foot this way?
I use Lightroom 3.6. The "lens profile corrections" does not have my lens in the drop-down menu. Is there a way other than using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator Tool to create this profile? The lens is the Nikon AF-S DX NIkkor 18-105mm F3.5-5.6 G ED VR, and I use the Nikon D90 dslr. I only shoot JPEGs.
In LR 3 I had the option to select Leica in the lens profile and then select from a short list of available lenses to correct the image.In LR 4.3 I can not find Leica anymore in the pull down menu and therefore I can not select any lens profiles to use as corrections.
Where can I find the missing camera manufacturer files and profiles for Leica?How can I load the missing profiles into LR 4.3.
All of a sudden, nearly all profiles have disappeared. I first noticed this with my Sony RX1, when I went to apply the profile correction, and there was nothing. Usually the program identified the camera automatically. When I looked at old pictures, it was the same, nearly. If I used "custom" then it would give me only Nikon and/or Sony, but only one lens for each camera, not relevant to what I had used to take the photograph. For some pictures it would recognize the lens, but it would not give me options to change it (if I wanted to).
I would like to inform all about an (in my view) incorrect behaviour of LR:
In order to speed up my workflow i disable detail and lens corrections for all images immediately after the import (select all, auto sync is on, turn off detail and lens corrections). With this panels turned off I can do basic operations like cropping etc much, much quickier. I shoot badminton sport and have to process hundreds of images.After the basic corrections I re-enable detail and lens corrections for all images which should restore the previous settings of this panels or at least the default (ISO specific) settings (which is the same in my case). But the "Remove Chromatic Aberrations" remains off, even if it was on before and on by default for all my lenses! I consider this to be a bug.
In the Lens Corrections Tab, below the checkbox "Enable Profile Corrections" there is a drop-down menu to choose a setup option (Default/Auto/Custom).Unfortunately I cannot find any information on what the difference between these options is and hence when to choose which of these options.
It seems to make no difference whatever option I choose.
I keep hearing conflicting reports about how Lightroom handles lens corrections for the Fuji X100s. Some say you need to use the X100 profile while others say that Lightroom applies the corrections automatically, behind the scenes, based on info embedded in the raw file itself and that selecting the X100 profile would only "double up" on the corrections. Others have said that there is no X100s profile yet but NOT to use the X100 profile because it might make things worse since the sensor has changed and the new X-Trans sensor and lens combination would likely need different corrections than the old one.
I use mostly .tiff files in LightRoom since my camera isn't supported by LR.In previous versions of LR (including 4.2) i opened each lensprofile i needed and changed:
stCamera:CameraRawProfile="True" to stCamera:CameraRawProfile="False"
In earlier versions i only changed the first appearance of the line above, but i have also tried to change all apearences in each file - but nothing happens, the lenses doesn't appear in the lens profile model list.
Which worked flawlessly until i updated to LR 4.3 ...
In the below print screen, the lens should be 70-200 f2.8, which normally is found. The only difference with this photo is that it was accidently shot as a JPG and not RAW. I dont see how that makes a difference since the metadata still lists the correct lens as you can see on the screenshot:
The lens profile defaulted to "None". And you can see the dropdown I need to use when this happens. When I select "Nikon", the profile is USUALLY then enabled, but not always.
This has stopped working in the past for unknown reasons. If I "enable" a whole day of photos from multiple lenses and bodies --that is when it is mostly likely to fail (even though these lenses all have profiles). Perhaps a better question is how does the lookup logic work in the first place? I tend to take it on faith when a product's features work until I'm forced to figure it out. In "Setup" I don't know what the various options do. Normally it just works. I do not know the difference between "default" "auto" and "custom" nor do I know the function of "Save" and "Reset".
I have been using LR since it has been released in version one. I have a very modest system, Win 7 64 bit Home premium, Processor 6.6 GHz; Memory 4GB; Displaty 1680x1050.Test on export of 101 raw files from Panasonic G3 Lightroom time for rendering 15 Min approx 9 seconds per file.Export from After Shot Pro Approx 3 Min 1.87 sec per file.Both systems using only standard processing functions no Lens corrections, adjustment brush etc. just standard corrections.Just unbeliavable. I did not think I have an issue with the performance of Lghtroom but this is a revelation. I have no hangups or crashes etc.
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'm using Lightroom 4, currently waiting to upgrade to 4.4. However, I'm having a problem not finding any of my lens profiles listed in the lens correction control panel. If I check the box, "Enable Profile Corrections" and then select from the "Lens Profile" dropdown menu, I get a list of only six available lens brands: Apple, Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Sony, and Tamron. This is odd, because when I view the package contents for the software under Package Contents > Contents > Plugins > Resources > Lens Profiles - ALL the lenses that I use (Pentax) ARE listed there. Why then will they not show up in the interface of the actual software when running?
One of the great features of the Sony NEX-7 is that the NEX-7 makes automatic lens corrections for vignetting, chromatic aberration and distortion problems. These corrections are written to the file and the preview. However, when converting these images from ARW to DNG the correction data seems to be lost, and the images revert to their uncorrected state. This requires all images to then be re corrected with the Adobe lens profiles, which is both tedious, an extra step, and also seems to produce results that are somewhat less optimal than the original corrections made by the camera.
Should not the ACR Converter and Lightroom retain the lens corrections made by the camera?
I have created default settings by serial number for my Canon Mark III 1ds which include enabled lens profile corrections. I then created a user preset with these default corrections. Next I imported a folder of RAW images shot with this same Canon camera with the user profile checked as part of the import. When I switch to the Develop module and check the Lens Corrections panel, I see that although it is checked for each file, the actual make, model and profile are not populated.
Is this a bug or am I overlooking something on import? I understand that in LR 4, you can apply specific lens and camera calibration profiles to camera serial numbers (noise reduction etc too).

Can Photoshop CS6 (Windows 8) make lens corrections for the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS camera? My version of CS6 (64bit) is Photoshop: 13.0.1 x64 and CameraRaw plug-in is 7.3.0.71. There is a file "Canon PowerShot SX50 HS AdobeStandard.dcp" size 118KB in the folder c:Program DataAdobeCameraRawCameraProfilesAdobeStandard.However when I open a Cameras Raw file (*.CR2 for Canon) in Camera Raw and go to the Lens Corrections window with (under Lens Profile) Make = Canon I cannot find my camera in the drop-down list for Model. The list has 30 items ending with Canon PowerShot S100.
I have tried removing Photoshop, re-installing it and installing the updates, but this has made no change. I have been using Photoshop under Windows 8 since early in October 2012, and everthing else seems to be operating correctly.
When I am in lightroom's library (3.5), I would like to change the time of capture for multiple photos, and apply keywords.
However, when I perform either of those actions, the changes are only applied to the image shown in the "more brightly highlighted" image, not all that are selected.
Is there a setting I am missing? I just cannot seem to figure out why this is not working.
Also, I aplogize if my searching skills are weak and this has been covered already. I did attempt to see if this question has been answered before posting.
When I import raw files into Lightroom 4 it seems to apply different settings or some presets to the images which changes the look of the raw file slightly. How can I setup Lightroom so it doesn't apply any changes to my raw files? I prefer to make the changes myself starting with camera calibration, exposure, white balance etc.
I have one basic metadata preset that I apply to images after they have been imported. I've noticed that on a regular basis, every single image in my library loses its applied metadata preset and it reverts back to "none". For the life of me I cannot figure out why this is happening and I don't know whether it's a bug or a feature.
My standard workflow is that after I import images, I select all the images in the new folder I have designated for those images and apply my specific metadata preset but it seems that a few days later or after I import new images, all metadata presets are gone again. I have noticed this issue with Lightroom 3 and again with Lightroom 4 after I have upgraded so I don't think it's related to a specific version.
I used to mark images yellow in LR if I needed to do further work on them in Photoshop. Once exported as jpegs, I'd open them in Bridge and sort for color labels. In the last year or so, Bridge stopped seeing those labels. It doesn't work in CS4 or CS6.
Does it make sense to work on RAW images if no lens profile exist for the used specific lens? I see clear differences between RAW and JPG image in means of distortion. How did you work with RAW images?
I shoot in RAW and use the Develop module in Lightroom. I want to save the corrected RAW files as JPEGs. Do I export them to Photoshop to save them as JPEGs?
I purchased LR for the simple purpose of removing dust spots. I bought and read a book. I removed the spots, and tried to save a file of the corrected image, and could not find a way to do that. I know all about catalog = DB, but really, this product cannot save an image to disk?
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?
