Under "Lens Correction" only 8 lens profiles are listed, most of them for lenses I do not have, and does not list some lenses that I do have. How do I find and install profiles for the lenses I do have? I searched support site and contacted a Chat session. Neither was any help. Chat said to get profiles from lens manufacturer but when I checked the Nikon site they do not list any lens profiles. Chat session said that the profiles that are listed were defaults that were part of the program.

Are you working with jpeg file or raw file? The vast majority are for raw files, very few for jpeg files.

I don't know what happened but I never received an email that I had received a response to my question so here is a follow up.

I was using Nikon RAW files. I did receive an email response from Adobe with links to various sites but none of them addressed my question. They just directed me to a list of lenses Adobe supports, how to bring up the list of lenses in LR, and how to create lens profiles. My question is since Adobe lists around three dozen Nikon lenses that it has profiles for why does my version of LR only display eight profiles? Has Adobe deliberately left profiles out of LR v6 (i.e., standalone) to try to force users to use the more expensive (and revenue generating) CC version? A very simple question. Why wont Adobe tech support answer it? I'm really disgusted with Adobe tech support.

P.S. Any ideas why I did not receive an email notifying me that I had responses to this post?

Hi first time user and I think I am in the right place. I have LR 6.0 and Win 7. I have located the profiles I want from the DNG converter and have saved them to a folder. From a previous post

This where the supplied profiles are installed:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\Resources\LensProfiles\1.0

And this is where you must put the custom profiles:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0

I put the files in the first location as I couldn't find the second. I have restarted both PC and LR but even though the profiles are in the LR Lens Profile 1.0 files they don't appear when I try to find them in Develop module.

Can anyone offer some advice ?

First, please update to the latest LR6 version which is LR6.13. Use the update option from within LR or download directly from here: Download Photoshop Lightroom

Read my post and use the link posted earlier in this thread to find the correct location for adding profiles.

Here's a list of all supported lenses and the LR versions needed: Supported lenses

You probably loaded a JPG photo. Most of the lens profiles are for RAW only.
