Sony DSC-R1 (Cybershot) Lens Correction Profile for CC 2017

I have CC 2017 on macOS/10.12.3, including Camera Raw CC, which is up to date.  Neither this camera nor its built-in lens are in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/ or /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/ .  Also, there are not on the list of supported cameras and lenses at Supported lenses .  This is just about lens correct, as I have no problem reading the RAW (.SR2) files.

The Sony DSC-R1 is a 10-megapixel APS-C camera with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 5× zoom lens f=14.3–71.5mm (24– 120 mm when converted to a 35 mm still camera)  F2.8 – 4.8. 

Any suggestions?

Hi,

The Sony DSC-R1 predates the external Lens Corrections feature in Camera Raw by several years. It also predates the introduction of DNG opcodes for correcting lens aberrations automatically. As far as I can determine, Adobe has never shipped a lens correction profile for this camera.

There does appear to be a user-generated lens profile for the DSC-R1 in the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader (link on the page below).

Digital Negative (DNG), Adobe DNG Converter | Adobe Photoshop CC

You should be able to find it by installing the ALPD and searching for Sony in the "Make" field. Then click the Download button after selecting the profile and it will be downloaded to the location where Camera Raw can load the profile.

Regards,

- Chris

If that camera has built-in lens correction then there isn't any need for there to be a lens profile in Lightroom.

If it were so, the zoom lens was very good but had some wide-angle image distortion, see Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 Review: Digital Photography Review .  Apparently, there was a DSC-R1 lens correction profile for Lightroom 4.1, see Lens profile does not show up in Lightroom

If you use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader as shown below on macOS Sierra 10.12.3 you can download a profile for your camera and it should show in both camera raw 9.8 and lightroom 6.8

In order to install the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader on macOS Sierra follow these steps:

1. Download and install Adobe Air from here

    https://get.adobe.com/air/

2. Install the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader

    Adobe - Adobe Lens Profile Downloader : For Macintosh : Adobe Lens Profile Downloader 1.0.1 : Thank You

Note: to install these things right click on the installers and then click on Open
