P: Lens Profile requests and information

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.

We have begun the process of profiling lenses for the Sony Alpha system. For example, in Camera Raw 8.3 / Lightroom 5.3 we provided new lens profiles for three major zoom lenses:

Sony 16-35mm F2.8 ZA SSM
Sony 24-70mm F2.8 ZA SSM
Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G SSM II

You can expect more in the future.

We need Sony 20-70 f/4 profile support. Please.

Until Adobe provides the lens correction profile, my workaround is to open the ARW in Sony Viewer and output it as a TIFF. It appears the distortion correction is embedded in the lens, so the TIFF is distortion-corrected.

Hello,

I have a little problem. I just noticed that Lightroom or Camera Raw or Photoshop can't find the profile of my lens. I mean an Olympus E-510 in 14-42 mm. Several years ago, it was still in the database. But I have the impression that it is no longer there. And I did not find it in the database on the Adobe site of compatible profile. Not having the skills to create the profile, I wondered if you do not have a copy of the profile to install?

If it can help, here is a picture of all the Exif data of a photo from my camera.

Could you please add the Lens Correction Profile for the Samyang 24mm AF 1.8mm FE lens? 

It is not supported in Lightroom Mobile on iPad.

Thanks!

Any solution for the barrel distortion on the new Sony FE 20-70mm f4 G in Lightroom? We need a new lens profile for this in Lightroom Classic. The installer for creating a custom lens profile does not yet work on MAC Ventura 13.2.1 so we can't yet create one ourselves either. Auto transform is not a solution as the distortion is still there at 20mm after auto transform is applied.

Maybe it can be difficult to create tilt and shift lenses profiles. Maybe it can be hard to correct vignetting automatically when the lens is shifted or tilted, I really don't know. But it would be nice to to be able to correct at least the tiny lens distortion of these lenses. 

 

Thanks.

Ligthroom no tiene incorporados ningún objetivo profesional de Fujifim ni tampoco sus cámaras,. es una vergüenza.

"Ligthroom does not have any professional Fujifim lenses built in, nor do their cameras. it is a shame."

 

 

You may be editing a JPEG rather than a raw. Triple-check by typing "i" to show the info overlay in the upper-left corner, displaying the file name.

 

Which camera model and lens are you using?

The new Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G has significant barrel distortion, especially if you're shooting real estate. As of March 22, 2023, the best Lens Correction profile in Lightroom Classic has been the Sony E 11mm F1.8, however is Adobe coming out with a new profile specifically for this lens?

Usually, Adobe is adding new lenses with every new release. That said, I'd expect the lens to be added with the next release.

When that will be? They don't tell.

Please make the lightroom camera app in Android able to change lens with mobile that have multiple lens option. S23 ultra have a very amazing telephoto lens that would be wonderful to use with Lightroom camera app. Currently we are able to use only the main wide lens
