Advertisement Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Hi 01af, Take a look here Lightroom 3.4.1 and Camera Raw 6.4.1. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
HankBar Posted May 25, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 25, 2011 I posted and deleted this first in the wrong (X1) forum, so I try again: Maybe a first step (or I missed something that already was there), but today I had the update on Camera Raw and, lo an behold, there are some Leica lensprofiles. I saw only three (all summarit-S). So, the massmarket is served , now the M market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted May 25, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 25, 2011 Hank--those Summarits are the S2 lenses. You're not the only one who made the error; we all jumped for joy when we first saw the Leica lenses listed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted May 25, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 25, 2011 It does seem strange that Adobe have started with S-series lens profiles. I wonder if they considered M-series lenses would not benefit from profiling? They have had plenty of time to profile selected M-lenses if deemed desirable.

HankBar Posted May 25, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 25, 2011 Yeah, I did not notice these profiles before, so I was wondering if this was a sign of changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
01af Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted May 25, 2011 I always kept wondering why Leica chooses Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to bundle with their digital cameras but refuses to exploit the software's full capabilities by not providing any lens profiles. Now, since the first three Leica S lens profiles for Camera Raw and Lightroom have appeared, there's hope that M lenses will follow soon. Adobe Labs provides the Adobe Lens Profile Creator so you can always build your own lens profiles at home ... but it's an awful lot of tedious work if you want to get it right. Lens makers can feed data from their blueprints into the profiles so to them, making profiles is easier than it is to end users. Until Leica eventually provides us with M lens profiles, I'll use the Lens Corrector plug-in to Photoshop from ALPA Switzerland. It includes profiles for all current Leica M lenses and also for a few discontinued ones. However unlike Adobe's lens profiles, it addresses geometry only, and only at infinity focus—no chromatic aberrations and no vignetting. Still very useful for architectural photography.
