Question

P: Adobe Lens Profile Creator is not supported on Mac OS 10.15 and later

At Adobe MAX, users hinted me to the Adobe Lens Profile Creator (last version 1.0.4) to create profiles for lenses not supported. However, as I browsed through documentation it seems this is not supported anymore?

Is the default solution to ask for lenses to be supported?

I have quite some vintage lenses on my Fujifilm X-T2 and doubt they will be included?

Minolta MC 58 1:1.4, Zenit Helios 44M 58mm f/2 and more - but also a new 7artisans 60mm F2.8 Macro for which I would love to see (or create) a profile.

 

Best regards

I had a client that sends me pictures made with his samsung s24 ultra...

using wide angle lens. So I need to straight them,

i che for that "camera" in the lens correction filter and it does not exist...

so I click the button to "browse Adobe lens profile creator" and it does not exist.

im using PS 25.5.0

why they left dead links of features?

is there any fix or solution for this missing tool?

 

if any one else has this issue, can comment about it?

Thanks!!!

    You can get the Lens Profile Creator from here, but the companion database that Adobe used to have where users submitted their own custom lens profiles is no more and i believe that's what is referenced in the "Browse Adobe Lens Profile Creator Online "

    The Adobe Lens Profile Creator continues to be supported, though Adobe has not updated it to run on Mac OS 10.15 and later. If you have Mac OS 10.15, you have some options: Use a colleague's computer running 10.14 or earlier or running Windows.  Use Parallels ($80) to install a virtual machine running Windows on your Mac.  (You could instead try to install an earlier version of Mac OS in the virtual machine, but Apple makes that unreasonably difficult.)

     

    While you can submit feature requests to Adobe for profiles for old lenses, Adobe generally only creates profiles for new lenses.

    It seems the Adobe Lens Profile Creator utility is still on version 1.0 after more than 10-years of neglect (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html#Adobe_Lens_Profile_Creator). Does anyone have any idea whether or not Adobe intends to update their Lens Profile Creator utility, as it is not compatible with the latest version of Mac OS 10.15 Catalina (and soon might not be compatible with any modern computer)? Might anybody out there have any suggestions for alternatives in the meantime?

      Doesn't sound like it will be updated from a note in your posted link.

      The original post was about the Adobe Lens Profile Creator, not the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader. Adobe says that it has abandoned the latter, but has said nothing about the former, which is still esssential software for some circumstances (including my own circumstances). I have the same question.
