Question

Installing Lens Profiles

Rokinon/Samyang have a profile available for their 24mm T/S lens.  I have downloaded the profile - it is a .lcp file - and have copied into the following location

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0

I also tried installing it in the root LensProfiles folder.

In both cases, the profile does not appear in either Lightroom nor Camera Raw.  Lightroom was closed when the profile was copied to the folder and re-opened afterward.

Does anyone have insight into the installation of lens profiles and why the profile may not be showing up?

Thanks.

    Lens profiles are normally for raw images or jpeg images, not for both. Have to checked that you have selected the correct image type? The location should be correct.

    I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the profile would be for RAW files.  I'll create a JPEG and see what happens.

    I downloaded the 24mm T/S lens profile for Nikon D800E (I have Canon full frame cameras but there are not versions for full frame Canon) and opened it with a text editor. It looks like it's not a raw profile:

                      <stCamera:CameraRawProfile>False</stCamera:CameraRawProfile>
