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.

Does anyone know what the lens profile settings should be for the above combination? Also how to set a custom profile setting as currently in LR as "save new lens profile default" is in light grey. Does this change if I put in new manual settings, and if I do that can I rename these settings if I save them? Thanks

 

Using LR version 10.4 and Win 10

There are currently two profiles for the lens you mention, but neither is intended to be used with of second extender.

 

Canon EF 200-400mm f4 L IS USM is intneded to be used when lens is in 200-400mm mode

Canon EF 200-400mm f4 L IS USM EXT is intended to be used when the internal 1.4X extender is brought into use.

 

Typically, any Canon lens with an extenal extender fitted will be denoted by +1.4x III or similar suffix.

 

I see that at you've also submitted a request for the lens plus external extender on Ideas forum.

 

Choosing to save a new default profile does not provide any means for renaming the settings.

Thanks Ian

 

Yes, I saw those and thank you for confirming my thoughts. Given that the lens has been around for some years and is intended to be used with extenders it is disappointing that Adobe has not yet given the lens profiles. I assume others have requested the same as I cannot be unique! It is also a shame that I cannot even create one manually as I have no idea what the profile should be. Currently using the lens profile for Canon EF 200-400mm f4 L IS USM EXT. Is there a way of adding this via a batch setting do you know as currently having to do one photo at a time. LR saying none at present as cannot identify the combination.

 

RE saving a new profile: I saw this change from light to dark grey once I had opened "manual" settings. So from what I understand, if I had say 2 or more new lens profile settings I could not name them as to what they are? Is this right? If so another development idea!

 

Many thanks again

I would like you to add Leica Tri-Elmar 28-35-50 Lens 11890
This is for the Lens correction or compensation. This lens is missing from the list.

Also, for TIFF files Leica camera and lenses is not on the list.

Your fellow members in the community site do not work for Adobe, We are not the ones to make a request for change to.

 

The old website to properly make such a request is currently set to read only and is in the process of being migrated over to the community. Currently scheduled first of September. 

 

When Adobe finishes the migration, you should see two new modules in the community site, Bugs, and Ideas, you would post your request in Ideas.

 

If you, on the page you are currently at, scroll up to the top left, you will see Adobe Support Community, click on that,In the page that shows up, change the sort to Alphabetical, then scroll as needed to find Ideas (when it is ready)

I would be nice if Adobe could support some of the new Canon RF lenses, especially

 

- Canon RF 70 200 f4 L IS USM and

- Canon RF 14 35 f4 L IS USM

 

The RF 70 200 f4 is out now nearly one year and there is still no profile.

The RF 14 35 f4 ist new. Because of the strong distortion at wide focal lenght a profile for Lightroom is necessary.

 

For me as a Canon user, future support for the new RF lenses from Adobe is important!

 

Thanks

 

Patrick

I would like to add my voice to this request for profiles for these Canon RF lenses.

Canon's RF 70-200 f4 L IS USM and RF 14-35 f4 L IS USM are not obscure, little used lenses but exceedingly popular pro/semi pro lenses part of Canon's f4 holy trinity.

As Patrick said above the RF 70-200 f4 has been available for a year and sorely in need of a profile and any ultra wide lens would need some distortion correction and the RF 14-35 f4 is no exception.

Please urgently consider adding these profiles.

Many thanks

As per the requests from the guys above. I recently went to iceland with the 14-35mm and the images are badly in need of a lens correction filter in Lightroom.

These lenses in Arri PL mount are available to use with the Nikon Z7ii via an adapter. I have a 50mm version. It would be fantastic if lens profiles were available for correcting images when importing to Camera Raw.

I'm wondering why there is still no lens profile in Lightroom for AF-S NIKKOR 120–300 mm 1:2,8E FL ED SR VR - Nikon. It is now over a year since this lens was introduced and I'm missing it. Is Adobe disinterested?

I have the Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 FE (for Sony) lens.
However, Lightroom Classic does not automatically select the lens profile.

I'm a beginner, so it's hard to set the value manually, so I want to update Samyang's lens profile in the Lightroom Classic soon.

Hello,
are there actually profiles for Lighroom of the two Canon RF lenses 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM and 50MM F1.8 STM, or when will they be added to LRC?

The lens profile for the RF 35mm is already available in LrC, and I believe the RF 50mm profile is also there. If you are not seeing them, can you confirm the version number of Lightroom that you're using, and can you also confirm you have a raw file selected (the vast majority of lens profiles are only available for raw files).

Hello,
Yes, the RF 35mm is available, but it is not automatically selected in the lens correction as with my other lenses. The RF 50mm 1.2 is selected automatically.
I can't find the 50mm 1.8 STM in the list.
I use RAW files with LRC version 10.3.

Hi!

 

I have the latest version of Lightroom and I do all of my shooting with Gopro Hero 8 Black. In the Lens Correction section I only find settings for Gopro Hero 7 Black. And im not really satisfied with the outcome using that. Can I download settings for the Hero 8 somewhere or will it be the same as Hero 7?

 

Most of my footage is with RAW and I do timelapses, so yes the Hero 7 straightens the horison but everything else in the corners get a weird distortion. Any help to this much appriciated!

 

Not the best example maybe, but look at the bench in the picture I attached

 

Best regards

I have been inquiring about the same matter since the launch of Hero 8. I guess they have no plan to add the lens correction for this device. What a deal breaker. Really love using this app with Hero 7 Black. However, I guess I'm gonna delete it and start using something else now. Your loss, Lightroom!!!

Still no support for the Hero 8 a year later. Only goes up to Hero 7. GoPro is now advertising Hero 10. It appears Adobe has dropped support for GoPro for some reason. This is disappointing.

Yesterday I bought the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art for Sony-E, but I saw There was no profile available in Raw 12.1. Instead it takes the profile of the Sigma 24-70mm DG OS HSM A017. Does anybody know when the correct profile wil be recognised by Raw?

Hi there,

 

Sorry that the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN lens profile is not getting recognized in Camera Raw 12.1 version.

 

I do not see this Lens supported by Camera Raw yet. You may also check the same here: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/camera-raw/kb/supported-lenses.html

 

Would you mind checking out this article https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support.html and let us know if that helps?

 

Thanks,

Akash

More than two years on from the OP.....I have the L-Mount version of this lens.

 

There are currently three lens profile versions available in Lightroom and Camera Raw (v14.5) : Sigma L, Sony and Sony V2.

 

Sigma L corrects for vignetting but makes no optical corrections (as suggested in Adobe's current list of supported lenses). Sony partially corrects optical distortion, but not vignetting, Sony V2 partially corrects optical distortion and most vignetting.

 

Photolab 4 (DXO) does an near perfect job of correcting both optical distortion and vignetting automatically.

 

I would rather not have to open raw files in Photolab and export to Lightroom. Could Adobe be persuaded to re-examine the profile for this lens?
