I went in my Mac to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/ and found no lens profiles. Also, when in DEVELOP mode sometimes the lens I took the photo with appear and in other cases it does not, how can I add specific lenses to my lens profile folder?

For example, I have a Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II lens and in some photos it says the focal length was 16 mm but this lens profile does not appear and it's the only 16 mm lens I have, in other photos this lens profile appear.

    I have run into the same issue of my 17-35 lens profile not being there.  I tried to download the lens profile downloader as suggested by the group and have run into an error msg.

    There is no application set to open the document “Adobe_Lens_Profile_Downloader_1_0_1.air”.

    it then gives me the choice of finding an application to open it in or find an app at the App Store. 

    Any suggestions of how to get the downloader to open.  thank you so much in advance for any help you can offer!

    You need to have Adobe Air installed to run it: Adobe - Adobe AIR

    Downloading the Adobe - AIR did allow me to download the Lens Profile Downloader.  I found the lens and click on the lens and it began the loading detail.  Then an error box came up saying "Loading Details Failed".

    Lens profile support: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html

    Supplied profiles may mostly work with RAW only. Can you select the profile manually if it is not selected automagically? Are you shooting RAW or JPG?

    You can install the downloader to check if somebody else already created a profile you are looking for: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5492

    If nothing is available, you can create your own: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5489

      Hi and thanks for the reply. I'm shooting RAW and save the files in CR2 format.

      I went in my MBP into this Applications/Adobe Photoshop Lightroom X/Right-click Show Package Contents/Resources/Lens Profiles and found that what is stored is a combination of camera body and lens, for example:

      • Canon EOS 5D Mark III (Canon EF 200-400mm f4 L IS USM EXT) - RAW.lcp
      • Canon EOS 5D Mark III (Canon EF 200-400mm f4 L IS USM) - RAW.lcp

      Ans these are the only two lens profiles I have associated with the Canon 5D Mark III

      And the downloader is only available for Windows machines, not Macs.

      Any suggestion on how to add lens profiles?
