I have a good hint for Canon 8-15 mm Fisheye users!

While there is still no dedicated profile for this lens, there IS the profile for Canon 15 mm F/2.8 Fisheye, and it works very well for the photos made at the tele end of 8-15 mm zoom. Actually, it makes no sense to correct the images made at 8 mm.

Just select "Custom" setup from the drop-down list, then select "Canon 15 mm F/2.8", and finally click on "Save New Lens Profile Defaults" in "Setup" list. Voilà, now this profile will be applied to this lens' photos by default, if you check the corresponding checkbox.



I prefer to reduce the amount of Distortion correction by ca. 10-15% to get the more "natural" look of corrected images.

Out of curiosity, why are you using 6.6 instead of 6.7?

Our lens profiles no longer correct chromatic aberration. Instead, use the Remove Chromatic Aberration checkbox in the Color tab in the Lens Correction panel.

How exactly would Adobe "force" lens makers to deliver profiles?

And customers create and distribute many kinds of presets for Photoshop -- other users judge the quality of the user generated content.

Correct Chromatic Aberration, please.

I would like to rely on profiles made by professionals. For example Zeiss provided very good profiles to Adobe ... Why does Adobe not force lens manufacturers to deliver profiles to hundreds of thousands of paying customers? I don't understand the idea of letting customers create profiles on their own, when there is no reliable proof of quality ... In the end it's the picture quality that counts. And it should be the concern of the manufacturers to deliver best possible quality ... and for the customer to use it.

Thx Eric Chan for fast reply. In general I would like a profile to perform an optimisation in regards of distortion and vignetting. Distortion can be very complex and should best be corrected by professionals from Adobe and camera/lens manufacturers, not by hobbyists ... In particular a fisheye lens should have an optional correction towards rectilinear, you got it 🙂

The Lens Profile Creator works with any lens.
And it would be much quicker for you to create the profile than waiting for Adobe to work through the hundreds of lens profiles that customers have requested.

What exactly do you want the profile to do? Do you want it to transform the fisheye look to a rectilinear look? e.g., take the 8 mm circular image and turn it into a rectangle and fill the frame?
