Question

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?

    Lens profiles are format-specific. There are far more profiles for raw images then there are for JPEG images. You haven't mentioned the operating system you are using. I use Windows 10. Here is a snapshot of the path to where the lens profiles are located on my system.

    ProgramData is a hidden folder that you will have to choose to display in order to have access to it.

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