P: Lens Profile requests and information

Lens Profiles apply to Camera Raw, Lightroom Classic, and the Lightroom Ecosystem products (Desktop, Mobile, and Web).

 

Lens Profiles are available for a wide array of lenses. Not every lens is currently profiled, and of those profiled, not all are profiled for all camera and file types. For example, there may be a profile for a particular lens and camera mount for the raw file but not for the JPEG. Normally, profiles for JPEG are not supplied unless the camera does not apply a correction (e.g. iPhone, GoPro). 

A complete list of profiled lenses can be found here: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/supported-lenses.html 
other helpful info: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support.html#Supported_lenses 


Lens correction for all Micro 4/3 (MFT) lenses and many newer cameras, including Panasonic and Olympus cameras, and other cameras (including Fuji X,  Leica Q, and Nikon Z series)plus many point-and-shoot models from Canon) happens automatically without any interaction by the customer. A notation will appear in the Lens Correction Panel designating this. 

Note: You should not expect to find any profiles listed in the pop-up notes, because the corrections are always applied.

If you are unsure whether your lens is supported automatically refer to the "info" button/icon on the Lens Corrections tab.

If your lens is not on the supported lens list and is not one of those whose correction happens automatically, you can create your own profiles using the Adobe Lens Profile Creator. Download the Adobe Lens Profile Creator: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html#resources 

If you desire an Adobe-created Lens Profile, please make your request in the comments of this thread. Be sure to include the full lens model/description and the camera mount you desire. ETAs for new lens profiles are not available.

Keep in mind that lens profiles cannot be made for tilt/shift lenses, and the tilt or shift settings cannot be recorded in the Exif data. A feature request exists here for Tilt-Shift Lens Profiles: https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-ideas/p-lens-profiles-for-tilt-shift-lens/idi-p/12221166 

 

Note: The Lens Profile Creator is currently supported for Windows and 32-bit Versions of the Mac OS. 

 

ETAs are not available for any lens request.

I would love a lense profile for DJI Air2S.  A great feature of new drones is the ability to create hyperlapses, but I have found that lense distortion can cause significant issues when creating hyperlapse videos from photos.  The premiere warp stabalizer helps a little, but a consistant lense profile would be best. Thanks,

Hello I want to request a profile for the Samyang 85mm 1.4 for Sony. I have had this lens for a while now but there has never been a profile available for it.

Please add the AF Nikkor 20-35 1:2.8D to ACR.

 

Why? It is an old lens but there are a lot of these around still, not least because it has the advantage of low weight and large aperture. It also has optical quirks and could really use a lens profile. With the unexpected but seemingly accelerating use of film stock, many people are re-buying older analogue equipment, and many of Nikon's older og semi-old AiS/AF/AFD lenses do not have profiles.

 

I don't understand why Adobe are no longer supporting user-created lens profiles.

 

I would happily be willing to go through the motions to generate the necessary measurement images and create a quality profile for the benefit of the community if Adobe would support the process. For all the lenses I have with no profiles, in my opinion that is valuable content. I am a professional photographer and use a fairly wide range of equipment - to be able to maintain optical consistency is paramount.

I have a profile for the 20-35 that I downloaded a number of years ago.  If you would like a copy of it, I can send it to you.  Send me an DM or an email with your email in it, and I will happily forward a copy to you.  I know it works in LR, because I installed it from my old setup to my new setup this morning.  I have a number of vintage Nikkor lenses, and I must say some of these venerable lenses are definitely worth owning given how inexpensively you can pick some of them up!

A profile for the Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D lens for Fuji GFX 100S would be very nice. It's a good lens but needs a good profile.

Buenos días a todos:

He observado que LR Classic trae los perfiles de lente para los objetivos de 5,7 y 9 mm del iPhone 13 Pro Max, pero no para el ultra gran angular de 1,5 mm. ¿A qué es debido esto? Esta situación me obliga a corregir manualmente cada foto hecha con este objetivo (y hago muchas). Sería de gran ayuda que se incluyese un perfil para este objetivo en una próxima actualización. Gracias!!!

Hi!

 

Can we please add a lens profile for the Google Pixel 5a?

 

Also, can we please, please, please update the lens profile documentation on Adobe's website? The documentation (Work with lens profiles in Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Camera Raw) reference the lens profile creator software and links to downloading it, but you click that link and find out that it hasn't been available since 2018! And this documentation page says it was last updated in August 2021!

 

Correct image distortion and noise in Photoshop (adobe.com) also references finding lens profiles online created by users, and I can't find this option in the latest version of Photoshop (2022) and assume that it's no longer an option since you no longer allow users to create lens profiles. (Likewise, this documentation page says it was last updated in April 2021.)

 

Thanks!

Please see Digital Negative (DNG), Adobe DNG Converter | Adobe Photoshop which states:

 

"As of 1/1/2018, the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader is no longer developed and is unavailable for download."

OK, I feel like an idiot, now seeing that the Adobe Lens Profile Creator is still available. The headings on the download webpage weren't clear, and so I thought that the tool wasn't available. I think it would help adding some whitespace separating those two sections because right now they blend together.

 

This does resolve the issue with the first URL I linked to in my original post as the creator tool is available, but we still need to fix the reference in Correct image distortion and noise in Photoshop (adobe.com) since downloading user profiles through Adobe appears to be no longer supported.
