P: Lens profile for Canon G1X

what shame. this is a suberb travel camera for advanced and above photographers who like to shoot raw it's low light capabilities are better than my 60D which is too heavy to take on active trips. the lens is also very good. Is there a workaround that is not too complicated. I'm on the latest version of Lightroom

Thanks @2126481 for updating this thread. Actually the camera was announced by Canon 11 months ago, for release 10 months ago. It seems obvious that Adobe are not prepared to support Lightroom licensees with lens/sensor profile/correction data for this camera.

Adobe regularly and inexplicably demonstrate a lack of adequate resources, with omissions like this (no doubt dictated by the, to them, inadequate number of users of a product, in this case the G1X), or with dilatory responses to problems with updates, especially beta versions available through the Adobe Labs. They will use us as testers, but will keep us in the dark when it comes to explaining lapses. They don't seem to understand they lose nothing by informing us (like passengers left wondering on a jet waiting to take off, but sitting instead on the tarmac, with no plausible explanation forthcoming).

I also have a G1 x and would also appreciate lens profiles in lightroom 4 . This camera has been out at least 4 months

I have updated to Lightroom 4.1 but find no profiles for the Canon G1X though the do appear for my older G12. The G1X has been out for a while now and I am hoping for Adobe profiles rather than making my own individual adjustments.

First, I'm sorry because I should have made my point more clearly and succinctly. Second and third, I will apologize for two other reasons. I meant nothing personal in any way shape or form. I could hardly, I don't know you. This is a business site, sponsored by Adobe (sorry, I think "community" has a different meaning). I am an Adobe customer. I can't get warm and fuzzy about a profit-making entity that's listed on the stock exchange.

I was commenting on the conduct and character of this forum, which is determined by Adobe management, surely, not its people on the front line, like you. I do appreciate the effort at providing a response and support, when the company does not provide the primary resources themselves for a "solution" (to a problem created by the absence of product, hardly the customer's fault).

I'll also apologize by relating that I am sorry, in advance, but I don't accept, still, that the notion of using the ponderous Adobe Lens Profile Creator (a similar, and far simpler, solution is offered by XRite and their Colorchecker app that creates profiles... alas not efficiently usable in Lightroom) is "viable." It's real. I can't dispute that. But it remains as an enormous burden in time and effort, for indexing a mainstream product by another major vendor, on the Adobe customer. Again, my apologies for seeming to attack you personally, but I found your response inadequate, which I already spent a lot of unnecessary words saying. Forward your supervisor's contact information and I'll be glad to convey my thoughts directly.

Hi Howard,

I'm just trying to help by providing a viable solution to OP's request. Let's leave personal attacks and insults out of this community. Thanks.

The redundant responses of Mr.Tranberry (the nature of which tends to leave me questioning the validity of the last word in his title; if this is what a "Chief" is like, I wonder what the braves are like in the Customer Advocate team...) are what was called a non-response response, in the Nixon era (also the administration that invented the concept of "plausible deniability"), and in court would call for an admonition from the judge not to be non-responsive and answer the question. We're not stupid, we Adobe consumers, who pay big bucks for initial licenses and then repeated big bucks for upgrades (I've upgraded Creative Suite five times since its original re-packaging as a suite... that's thousands and thousands of dollars adding to their healthy bottom line; earnings aren't what they were, but they're still near a billion dollars a year... that's profit folks, not revenue). Of course we know we can create our own lens profiles, because you gave us versions of the tools that you use. But we expect you to do it, with mainstream products (and they don't get more so than the Canon G1X). You've had the camera available long enough—available in Asia since February, and in the U.S. since March. Camera vendors turn out new firmware for newly released cameras faster than you update mature products. Even Apple releases updates on a much more robust product (a whole operating system) faster than you. Creating a lens profile is not rocket science, but it's tedious and time-consuming. You get paid for your job. We get paid for ours, and that doesn't include doing your work, in this instance. This isn't a request for an obsolete version of some arcane lens from an unknown Japanese vendor. It's a request for a profile of an incredibly popular camera (sixth in the top ten list of cameras receiving the most clicks for reviews and spec in the last five days on dpreview.com). You have the means, and you have the money for the resources to do what should be routine for a company the size of Adobe. Just do it. And stop telling us how we can do it, and how much you appreciate it when we do. Of course you do. I'll do it, if I can send you a bill. Bad consumer advocacy Mr.Tranberry. No wonder the earnings are slipping. The famous Adobe arrogance lives.

I aske the same, please add camera correction support for the Canon Powershot G1X in Lightroom 4.
