P: Lens Profile requests and information

  • May 3, 2011

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.

    Visit, the iPhone 13 was just released, so it may be some time before we see the lens profile for the ultra-wide lens. It took a long time for the iPhone 12 ultra-wide lens to be added, and it only very recently was included.

    Hello! I'd like to add a request for the RF 50mm 1.8 STM as well. It's been a while since it has come out. It would be great to have Adobe support the new Nifty Fifty! It's a great carry around lens which I'm sure many people have. Thank you 🙂

    We're not Adobe in the Discussions part of this forum. We can't add the requested feature.

     

    You need to request new features from Adobe in the "Ideas" portion of this forum.

    There is a dedicated page for lenses' profiles, but the problem is there is no way, afaik, to import them into LR.

    Until such time, you can use the RF 24-105 F/7.1 profile. I've had good results.

    Need distortion correction for the hugely popular RF 16mm Lens ASAP. 

    If Adobe stops supporting Canon lenses as it has stopped supporting the bodies, it will not be worth the subscription renewal.

      With RF lenses, the camera embeds a lens profile already. Lightroom applies this. You can see that in the lens corrections panel at the bottom "Built-in Lens Profile applied." Since Canon already supplies these profiles, Adobe doesn't create their own ones. This is true for basically all mirrorless cameras and confuses a lot of people. You might see some listings for other RF lenses but those are for lenses where the built-in correction was way off and they did their own. Adobe is widely criticised for not making this built-in correction a user choice. They did make it a choice for the most recent mirrorless cameras but not the first ones that came out. So slightly older cameras still cannot turn off the corrections, even if you turn them off in camera.

       

      Anyway I would guess all your images with this lens are already being corrected. Another problem with these built-in profiles is that Adobe doesn't apply the vignetting correction quite strong enough and you are always left with some sort of vignette. The distortion corrections are usually spot on though. I don't have this lens (nor that camera) so can't judge how good the built-in correction is.

      this is absolutely not true. at least not for this lens. I have the newest version of Lightroom for Mac, just took a bunch of test shots and imported the CR3 files. there is no options for lens corrections available. I can use the geometry distortion feature to correct it myself. but Lightroom is not taking care of it. it's real obvious if you compare it to the JPEGs

      A lens profile is sorely needed for the Canon RF 24-35mm. Please add it ASAP.
