Lens correction profile for Samyang 14mm UWA f/2.8 If Ed Umc Lens, for Adobe PS CC and Adobe LR CC for Mac

Can anyone help with this?

After researching many site and discussions I haven't been able to resolve this issue, and apparently a question for many using the Samyang or Rokinon 14mm lens.

How can I obtain or create, and install in Adobe PS CC and Adobe LR CC for Mac - with Yosemite OS X (v 10.10.3) - the lens correction profile for the Samyang 14mm UWA f/2.8 If Ed Umc Lens?  I'm using it with the Canon 6D.

You can try this one:

or there are several listed for download using the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader

(choose your make of camera and then look on the Lens Model list and Samyang would be toward the bottom of the list)

There is also an Adobe Lens Profile Creator which you can use to make your own profile.

Thanks for your feedback too. I really appreciate the help but it isn't specific to the new Adobe CC Photoshop and Lightroom. I don't know if these profiles "out there" worked on previous versions but I can't get them to work in the current CC version.

If anyone has specific steps to install a working Lens Correction Profile for the Samyang 14mm (of Rokinon) it would absolutely appreciated.

An update, a few hours after my post from May 24, 2015 9:02 AM

To confirm a suspicion that's bugging me about the installation and the reason why the previously installed profile wouldn't work, I followed the same steps I described previously BUT with a different lens profile available for the Rokinon 14mm and Nikon D600. The lens is the same as the Samyang 14mm, from what I know.

The lens profile is available at: http://www.svenstork.com/essays/rokinon-14mm-lightroom-lens-profile/

From what I read in my original research, before posting for help on this community, many Canon full-frame camera users are using this lens profile with the Samyang lens. I wasn't able to install and try this profile.

I'm happy to report that - at least - this lens profile for the Rokinon 14mm  is now showing up in Adobe CC (LR, PS, BR) and working fine in the lens correction module for Nikon.

Goes to show that my way around the installation issue I encountered wasn't the problem.

Then, I repeated the steps for the Samyang profile, available for the Canon at: photo-worX.de - Fotoecke -> Bastell Ecke -> Adobe Lens Profile - Samyang 14mm f2.8 ED AS IF UMC and it didn't work - again.

I have no clue why this is happening on my Mac. I opened, side by side, with TextEdit ,both profiles mentioned in this post and I couldn't see the reason. Then again, I'm really not an expert in codification. I just want to use the Samyang 14mm profile.

So far I have been able to accomplish the installation of - at least - another profile in a hidden path on my machine. That, in it of itself, is fantastic! The Rokinon profile seems to do a nice job in the geometric distortions on the Samyang 14mm.

I hope you or someone have the final solution and/or an updated version of the Samyang 14mm lens profile for the Canon.

Thanks again. Really!


It may be that particular profile only works with jpeg images and I wasn't able to find a camera raw file taken with that lens, so i was using a jpeg for testing.

Glad you made some progress and least know how to install the profiles.

If you use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloaderr there are several profiles for that lens listed under canon and the adobe lens profile downloader installs the profiles for you

There's a profile out there (for LR at least), if you search it should come up pretty easy.  It's decent, but there's a fair bit of mustache distortion that it can't totally fix.  It's fine for most shots, you can't really notice the distortion unless you enjoy taking pictures of brick walls or other repetitive patterns.

Edit:  Oh, you're probably looking for a 6D profile?  Don't worry about it, just get the 5d2 profile, that's what I'm using and I have a 6D.

I appreciate your feedback but it is part of my previous research that hasn't worked out for me, hence my question in the Adobe Communities. I have downloaded and installed previously the 5D-MII profile in my the Lens Profiles 1.0 for Canon and the profile simply doesn't show up in Adobe CC.

Profiles that don’t ship with your current Adobe product need to be put into a separate area under your Users folders.

Refer to the “Your custom Camera Raw & Lens Profiles should be installed to the User folders…” section:
