Samsung lens profiles for Lightroom
1

Reading here http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/lens-profile-support-lightroom-4.html#main_Samsung i see that Lightroom has profiles for most NX lenses, but in Lightroom 5.7 in the Lens Corrections tab there are obly profiles for 18-55, 30mm and 50-200, my 45mm isn;t listed there. What am i doing wrong ?

Tried the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader it gives profiles for 16mm 20mm and 60mm but for nx10 and nx100 bodies.

Where are the profiles adobe claims ;

Your are not doing anything wrong, Adobe doesn't provide lens profiles for most of Samsung's lenses.

  • 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.

I read that, but the profiles are not shown either with raw or jpg.

Re: Samsung lens profiles for Lightroom

Just an FYI, I notice that the NX1 (shooting with a Samsung 'S' 16-50) does not store the lens information at capture in the meta-data.  (As well a lot of other information that a Canon 5DMII does).  I really wish Samsung would put a little more effort into the little details that don't cost anything.  It's a shame because Samsung is on the cusp of having a really great system in the NX1 if they'd just go the few extra steps.

Re: Samsung lens profiles for Lightroom

I've got Samsung NX-1 and in LR 5.8 -> Develop -> Lens Corrections -> Basic just check for "Enable Profile Corrections" and "Remove Chromatic Aberration" for the RAWs and LR seems to recognize the correct lens I've used. (Both for S16-55 and S50-150)
It does a fairly good job, but unfortunately not as good as the NX-1 do for the JPEGs. I really hope that Samsung and Adobe cooperate to come up with better Profile Corrections in the future, because at the moment it's hard to get as good results in LR from RAW that the JPEGs are, straight from the camera.
