Is there any chance at all of having LR3 provide lens and camera profiles for the Olympus E3 digital SLR ?

The Adobe Standard profile in Lightroom and ACR provides a very different color rendition that what the camera originally creates. Especially the skin tones have seen lots of praise all over the web and from many OM-D shooters.

I would like to ask for camera profiles that provide a color rendition as close to the original Olympus Picture Modes as possible. At least for the main ones (Vivid, Natural, Portrait, Muted).

Thank you!

Support for distortion correction for all MFT lenses and cameras has been there automatically since the beginning, for both Panasonic and Olympus cameras. This happens automatically, without any action needed by the user. You should not expect to find any profiles listed in the popups, because the corrections are always applied.

Please, please add support for Olympus Micro Four-Thirds lenses in the form of lens profile support (esp. M.Zuiko 1.8 12 mm and 45 mm primes)! I have read here that Lightroom would apply automatic distortion and vignetting correction... but when I pull down the list of manufacturers there isn't a single Olympus model (although the list contains some at least for me exotic sounding names)?

Do you mean the distortion correction applied by the camera itself?
Because that only applies to Olympus cameras with Olympus lenses or Panasonic cameras with Panasonic lenses. They don't cross correct.

(Oops, looks like my post from yesterday got deleted or never made it thru.)

Raw files shot with Micro Four-Thirds models already have a baseline level of distortion correction applied. This isn't quite the same as saying that they "don't need any further correction," though. In some cases, you may find that the results need a bit of tuning, which you can take care of using the Distortion slider in the Lens Correction -> Manual panel.

The Raw files shot with Oly-Cameras do need a distortion correction. I've created a lot of panoramas and it was a very hard work to get all in a good way together. So I took the lens profile creator of Adobe and made my own lens profiles. Now it's even easier to build a panorama.
May be in a few days I get it linked on my homepage.
Then I'll show it here ...

I know this is an old comment, but can you elaborate on your first paragraph? Does that mean that RAW files shot with Olympus cameras and lenses don't need further distortion correction.

For the Olympus Micro Four-Thirds models (E-P1, etc.) we already have automatic distortion correction applied to raw files that are read into ACR and LR.

As for SLR models and lenses ...

We have been working with some lens vendors to build profiles. This can result in very high quality profiles, as they are based in part on the original optical design of the lens, and in part on real-world testing and tuning. A number of vendors have contributed to this effort (including Sigma, Tamron, Pentax, Leica, and Zeiss). Unfortunately we have not yet been able to supply profiles from Olympus in this vein for their SLR models, but that's not to say it won't ever come.

I am very disappointed that Adobe has not included ANY of the Olympus pro and semi pro lenses in the Lens Correction profiles in camera raw 6.4.1. I use the Olympus 12 - 60 SWD and 50 - 200 SWD semi-pro lenses which I believe thoroughly deserve to be included, along with others I am sure. Tamron, Sony and Pentax et al have been included. How can you justify none of the Olympus lenses? Disgraceful and somewhat elitist of you.
