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.

Hello,
I was playing around with lens profiles in LightRoom, and i saw that there is no such profile as this very common used by starters lens. Is it true that this profile does not exist at all; or you have to use another profile?
Kind regards!

You'd receive a more useful and prompt response if you posted this to the Lightroom community forum.

Hello,

 

It would be helpful to have the lens profile. I see it is not available in the latest update.

The built-in profile only corrects chromatic aberrations.

Thanks

The DJI Air 3s telephoto and wideangle camera support and lens profiles are listed as available since Camera Raw 17.1 but only telephoto profile is supplied and showing in Camera Raw and Lightroom Classic for drone DNG files.

SAMYANG 35-150 F2-2.8  FE

 

This lens has been released for more than two years. We need a quick update, please

SAMYANG AF 35-150mm F2-2.8 FE

This lense have been released by Samyang for about two years. However, Lightroom is not providing a profile. Many users are replacing the profile of the Tamron 35-150 lens in the same field of view.

Samyang lens users have been hit a lot. I would like to request an update quickly.

 

<KOREAN 한국어>

삼양옵틱스 AF 35-150mm F2-2.8 FE

 

이 렌즈는 출시한 지 2년이 되었으나 라이트룸에서 제공하는 렌즈 프로필이 없습니다.

많은 유저들은 탐론 35-150 프로필로 대체하여 쓰고 있습니다.

 

빠른 업데이트를 부탁드립니다.

I'm reaching out to the community in hopes someone might be able to help me track down a lens correction profile for my Voigtlander 125mm f2.5 APO Lanthar macro. I've looked high and low, with no success.

 

Thanks for any direction offered; meanwhile, I've downloaded the installer for Lens Profile Creator and will look for an earlier Mac to run it on, if it won't on my M3 Mac.

Has anyone previously created (or know where I can find) a lens profile for my Voigtlander 125mm f2.5 APO Lanthar SLII (F-mount)? This would be used in LR Classic. Thank you.

 

I discovered too late that Adobe used to offer a lens profile creator... I'm running Mac M3 silicon, so not sure it would even run natively on my computer, if I found a copy.

Can someone send me a non-Raw lens profile for Canon EF-S 15-85mm F3.5-6.5.

Lens profiles for non-raw files are very rare. Adobe only created a handful themselves when lens profiles where first introduced about 15 years back. You're only hope is that someone created a proffile for there own use, which is a very long shot, especially given the procedure is time consuming, requires bright even illumination, etc. I've provided a link below to a blog post that I wrote back in 2010. Would I go through this process again? Not while we still have a sun in the sky!

Ah, @Ian Lyons -  your post takes me back. I remember those larval days of Lens Profiles and printing calibration targets and then shooting them. In fact, the first time I met Tom Hogarty was when I was presenting Lens Profiles to the Twin Cities Lightroom User Group. He came up afterward and introduced himself and told me that was 'his' feature I presented.  Like you, I would not be interested in building my own again.

Dear Adobe,

 

Upon recently purchasing the Nikon AF-S 120-300 f/2.8E FL ED VR lens I have discovered that Adobe does not currently have a lens profile for this particular lens. This is a bit unsettling in that this lens came out in 2020 (with the release of the Nikon D6 camera) and is one of their top level professional lenses used in the industry. Please consider this addition to the next update for LrC (Lightroom Classic). I'm currently running latest version of LrC (14.2). Thank you.

Hey, @simon28997170cvbr. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

 

The specific lens isn't supported, as per https://adobe.ly/4hrKqb8;

What format are the lens correction profiles you've received? You can follow this conversation to import Lens Profiles manually: https://adobe.ly/3FhpxCd

 

Let me know if it helps. Thanks!
