tashley Posted April 27, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 27, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) The lack of lens distortion corrections is increasingly annoying: it should have been fixed in the most recent round of Creative Cloud updates but the distortion corrections are still not working. On some lenses this is a real issue and on others it’s less important. Subject matter also makes a difference. But for my sort of use, some lenses are almost unusable at the moment… see the shot from the Trip-Elmar today at, I think, 18mm. More mustache than a mariachi… Leica says of this lens: “Due to the minimal distortion and barely perceptible field curvature, it can be recommended for highly demanding architecture photography even at the 16mm setting” I don’t think so. We need these lens corrections and we need them now! Who should we be talking to about this? Welcome, dear visitor!

anickpick Posted April 27, 2022 Share #2 Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) + 1 / it's a big annoyance. If they don't fix it, I'll sell the WATE and buy a Voigtlander lens. I'd hate to do so though. Edited April 27, 2022 by anickpick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Bonn Posted April 27, 2022 Share #3 Posted April 27, 2022 Does anyone know if C1 has this issue too? Do the jpegs have this distortion too? adobe don’t make a lens profile for each camera, just a profile for each lens (ie adobe have a profile for x M mount lens and it should work whether it’s an M9/240/10/10R/11) and this clearly isn’t working… 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Brown Posted April 27, 2022 Share #5 Posted April 27, 2022 The moustache distortion - definitely the nastiest of all radial distortion types - is one of the most difficult to fix. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the full latest version of C1 (and the latest LR CC) - I just don't have an M11! My point is this. To identify a problem first note where you can observe the problem. So is this a problem with the M11 and every single RAW app out there (including the in camera JPEG engine) or is it just in LR/ACR? So.. does this happen in C1? (I assume yes!) My hunch is that this is adobe's job to fix... if for no other reason than ideally it's their job to support cameras not camera companies job to support them 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I select the 28 Lux profile in C1 (C1 creates these themselves) and adjust the distortion correction slider, it appears to correct the distortion. There is no option to choose "Manufacturer Profile", but I think that's because I may have had lens detection turned off. My replacement M11 arrives tomorrow, so I'll try it again with lens detection on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erudolph Posted April 28, 2022 Share #9 Posted April 28, 2022 Some lens profile corrections are being applied: 35mm APO-Summicron-M and the f/.95 Noctilux 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted April 28, 2022 Share #10 Posted April 28, 2022 Note that lens corrections with Tri-Elmar work if I change the model name from "LEICA M11" to "LEICA M10-R" (I used DNG Cleaner to change the name). Seems clearly an Adobe bug. 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems clearly an Adobe bug. IMHO that’s 100% the answer slightly OT but years ago C1 had a similar thing where lens profiles for the Fuji X-T2 worked but the same lens profiles for the X-Pro2 didn’t.

To my eye….. the C1 lens profiles for the 35 rit, 90 rit and 50 lux do absolutely nothing at all. Despite C1’s claims of testing their lens profiles extensively.

Seems clearly an Adobe bug. I forgot to add.. Great work Srdjan. You’ve proved that Leica’s DNG content (this is separate from the dcp file folks) is correct and implemented as per their previous cameras. Adobe appears to be incorrectly rendering the file against the parameters contained within its own lens profile files and has work to do (and no folks, this doesn’t mean making a new dcp profile file) Now that adobe officially lists the M11 as ‘supported’ FWIW I think that M11 owners start logging this bug. https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based-bugs/how-do-i-write-a-bug-report/idi-p/12386393 https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html Edited April 28, 2022 by Adam Bonn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, something is wrong with many C1 M lens profiles with regard to distortion correction. But unlike LR, I don’t think it’s tied to using the M11 profile, since I noticed the issue with the SL2-S as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdmesa Posted April 28, 2022 Share #19 Posted April 28, 2022 We need a Lens Distortion Alliance 😂 In C1 I gave up on having a profile for all my lenses a long time ago. C1 is years behind delivering profiles for new lenses from major manufacturers. C1 has fewer profiles in general than LR because they create their own, whereas Adobe will use manufacturer-provided profile data for theirs, which speeds up the process. The benefit to the C1 profiles is they are often more accurate than what the manufacturer delivers. Of course in C1 if there is an embedded profile from the manufacturer, I can select that instead of manually choosing the lens, but when I do that, I can't change how much distortion or vignetting correction is applied – it's all or nothing.
