  • There are separate lens profiles for raw and non-raw files. Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Lightroom display only the profiles available for the file type of the selected image.

I'm sorry but this makes no sense. I have an "S" 16-50 on an NX1 and shoot raw and Lightroom does not provide a lens profile, yet it's hard to read the support file and come up with anything other then it should be supported. Maybe this is part of the reason why Lightroom butchers raw files from an NX1/16-50s (going directly from SRW to LR). Something is screwy somewhere, and I don't have the time to get in a peeing match between Adobe and Samsung about who's right and who's wrong.

As I mentioned in another thread, using Samsung DNG converter then to LR provides much better results. Again, something is wrong with the Adobe RAW converter (at least with NX1 SRW files) and this may be part of the reason the lens profile availability gets trashed in the same process.
