On the latest Lightroom Classic release version 13.5 there is a new lens profile (v3) for the Canon 24-240 lens. It has reintroduced the "bad borders" bug. Workaround is simply to select the older v2 profile.
I was on holiday during august. It seems that Adobe updated Photoshop / Camera Raw in this time. And now I have a problem with the objective profile correction:
There are 3 versions I can choose from - the newest one (V3) creates edge artefacts around the whole photo. When I manually choose V2, everything is fine again. But every time I open a new photo, the setting is V3 again...that's awful to work with. I know the artefact problem existed already a while ago, because I already had some issues with it around 2021 / 2022.
Not sure if we can call 24-240 "amazing"... It is way too heavy and huge for my taste. On a R8 makes the combination really front heavy. It is surely a very useful range of focal lenght, e.g. for street/city photography.
I love my R8 and 24-240. I hear complaints about lenses being front-heavy all the time and don't understand. If you have your left hand on the zoom and control rings the combination balances quite well. If you don't have your left hand there, how do you zoom or do exposure compensation? (That's what my control ring is set for.)
I understand everybody is different, so I am not arguing with you. I am just curious how you hold your camera that feels front-heavy.
Since some days I discover some artifacts in my images after I imported them.
When I inspect the RAW files from file system I cannot see this kind of artifacts. Also with competetive software this is not visible. This artifacts will also be exported. I tried with 13.5.1 and then downgraded to 13.5 but still this issues persists. This is extremely annoying because it makes my Lightroom unusable.
System information:
Lightroom Classic-Version: 13.5 [ 202408062022-6258095b ] License: Creative Cloud OS: Mac OS 14 Version: 14.6.1 [23G93] Architecture: arm64
The images are all made with a Canon R6 Mk2 with CR3 RAW files.
having issue with photos in lightroom. Camera R6 Mark II.
When importing Cr3 files - some photos are like getting extended, lightroom adds strange frame.
Screenshot you can see below. 1) Embedded preview and how it looks in Digital photo professional and other software. 2) develop screen - with this strange frame. after export to jpg frame also is there
Adobe Photoshop 25.12, Lightroom Classic 13.5.1 & Bridge 14.1.2 destroy images by adding a "pixel frame" around the images, when Canon RP shots are taken with a Canon Zoom RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM objective (others objectives not tested jet) - see pictures below.
The problem seems to be an incorrect RAW Filter for Canon RP / Canon Zoom RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM in the actual Adobe Camera RAW Filter version 16.5.1 and shows up since updating to the latest versions.
The problem occures e.g. when pictures are beening imported or synchronising in Lightroom.
Old Canon RP / Canon Zoom RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM pictures are not effected, as long as they are not beeing imported new. If you copy old pictures in a new directory and import them new into Lightrrom, the problem occurs, too.
The Canon image tool "Digital Photo Professional 4" (thank god) does not show any issues on old an actual Canon RP / Canon Zoom RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM photos.
So the problem seems to be the actual RAW Filter for Canon RP / Canon Zoom RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM
I am using Lightroom Classic, but only because this issue was initially happening on Lightroom Cloud. The issue was that I have RAW images from a Canon R5 that are getting pixel tearing/stretching around the border when I import to my Windows machine, that did not happen when I previously imported them into a MacOS machine. My Windows machine has a separate graphics card so I was thinking that was the issue but even after disabling it to run on CPU mode only and re-importing, I still had the issue. I am also using RF Canon lenses which typically require that you use lens profile corrections in order to crop out the unsuable portions of the already very large images.
What I found out was that I have a newly updated version of Photoshop on my Windows machine compared to my Mac and it was applying a v3 profile to the RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 lens I have. When I would turn off the profile correction, everything was fine. Using V1 or V2 was fine as well so I settled for V2.
I don't know if some change was made on Canon's end or Adobe's but it seems there is a miscommunication on the profiles, or maybe I need to update my camera's firmware. Either way, I couldn't find anything about this and figured someone else might benefit from my insight at some point to check that after matching the Make and Model to your Profile Correction you check the Profile Version as well.
I shoot RAW with a Canon R6 mkII and other Canon cameras. WHen I use this one with a Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 at focal lenght settings greater than 50mm I get a border of short fine lines around the image. I'm running MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1. Rolling back to CR plug-in v14 solves the issue. It doesn't happen with any other of my Canon gear combinations. First line support (Vincent) suggested I report this to you, and that it might be fixed in the next release. I'm happy to supply sample RAW files if required. Vincent has my details.
The "picture frame" or "borderline" around the photos is a known bug that came with the latest Adobe RAW profile update.
The good news is: ALL THE RAW FILES ARE OK🙂 It´s NOT a defect of the sensor or picture. It´s only the buggy Adobe RAW Filter that produces the errors.
Let´s see how long it takes until Adobe fixes that problem.
There is a workaround, too: You can switch to an old RAW Profile that will not show this errors
In Lightrrom: 1. Go to the "Lens Correction" / (German) "Entwickeln") window / Fenster 2. Click on "Lens Corrections" / "Obbjektivkorrekturen" 3. Profil: "Enable Profile Corrections" / "Profilkorrektur aktivieren" 4. Select "Profile": Adobe (Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM) v2 And everything will be ok 🙂
Thanks for responding to my post. Adobe front line support acknowledged that tere are problems in Camera Raw 16 and that a new version will be available after the Adobe MAX event in mid-October. Having experimented with the issue I believe that the border is an addition to the real image and not a distortion of it. You are right, the files out of the camera are fine. Opened with Apple’s Preview app of Canon’s Digital Photo Professional they are fine. There is something in the RAW file from the 24-240 that is upsetting Adobe’s Camera Raw plug-in. Curiously, I’ve found that the issue disappears if the focal length is less than about 50mm,
Thanks again for your work-around. I adjusted the <Distortion> adjustment to zero and that covered it!
ACR/Photoshop for MAC, has recently begun distorting the outer edges of my photos once I apply the auto lens corrections. Here's an example. Any suggestions or is this a known bug? Thanks.
Hi there All my imported RAW files have a strange border after imported with Lightroom Mobile to my iPad Pro. So i have to crop every image. See Attachment. Any suggestions or explanations?
In the app Settings, under Import, what is selected for Raw Default Settings? Adobe default or Camera Settings? Does it help if you import using the alternate setting?
If you sign into your same account at lightroom.adobe.com, thr LR Web app, do the images look the same there?
I use the Canon R5 with the Canon Lens 24-240mm. LR iOS App on iPad Pro Ver. 9.5.1. Aspect Ratio to FULL Resolution (3:2).
Normaly I use the Adobe default Import Settings. I changed that and the problem is still there. In the LR Web App on lightroom.adobe.com the pictures have the same failor.
The funny thing is, that in May, i used the same equipment for a trip, importet more then 1500 RAW pictures without any problems.
