Trouble Importing Custom Lens Distortion Correction Profile for YN50mm F1.8S DF DSM on Lightroom

Hello Adobe Community,

 

I am reaching out in hopes of finding a solution to an issue I’ve been experiencing while trying to import a custom lens distortion correction profile into Adobe Lightroom.

 

I am using a Yongnuo YN50mm F1.8S DF DSM lens with my Sony A7C II camera. Unfortunately, Lightroom does not natively include the lens distortion correction profile for this specific lens. Aware of this, I contacted Yongnuo support and they kindly provided me with the lens distortion correction profile file (.lcp).

 

However, I am having trouble importing this .lcp file into Lightroom. I have followed the online methods suggested, which include placing the lens profile into the following directory: /Users/(User Name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0. Despite this, the profile still does not appear in Lightroom.

 

I have reached out to Adobe support, but they were unable to assist me in resolving this issue. I am now turning to this community, hoping that someone here may have encountered a similar issue or has knowledge on how to successfully import custom lens profiles into Lightroom.

 

Here are the steps I have taken so far:

  1. Downloaded the .lcp file from Yongnuo.
  2. Placed the .lcp file into the /Users/(User Name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0 directory.
  3. Restarted Lightroom.

 

Unfortunately, the lens profile is not appearing in the Lens Corrections panel under Profile Corrections. I am using the latest version of Lightroom, and my operating system is up to date.

Has anyone here successfully imported a custom lens profile into Lightroom? If so, could you please guide me through the process or offer any advice on what I might be doing wrong?

 

I would greatly appreciate any help or insights you could provide.

 

Here is the version of lightroom and my OS

Lightroom version: 7.0.1 MAS arm64 [ 20231009-1554-4d993f9 ] (Oct 9 2023)
NGL Version: 1.35.0.19

VF Version: 1.0.135.7

Operating system: macOS

Thank you in advance!
