Originally posted by Adam I think the downloader is now essentially bundled with camera raw, and is being limited to supported profiles. Also I think it only provides access based on your version of ACR.
Based on this forum thread, it seems that all you have to do to install custom profiles is copy them to the appropriate folder on your system:
Adobe lens profile downloader? |Adobe Community
Not sure though, as I haven't had a need for custom profiles (also I was pretty sure all the FA profiles were already included in PS; can check when I get back on my PC).
Hi Adam,
Thanks for that handy link to adobe, I will have a more intense look at this later.
I believe the profile file has the extension .LPC and these profile files are not unique to Adobe, so in other words most other photo editing software can use these files.
I have been thinking that this site already has a fantastic lens database which gives information and reviews of every lens available to fit a Pentax camera.
Given that I would like to ask, would it do any harm to add in, to the top of each of these lenses pages in the database, a link to a download for that particular lenses profile file?
I think that this could add to the Pentax Forums site's already highly useful lens database, making it more useful than ever before.
Cheers.
