What is also missing (sorry for being pedantic) is the option to apply camera settings. Clearly, the quality of the result I get for my new Olympus lens/camera is substantially inferior to Lightroom's excellent treatment of my Nikon D700 images. I'd loved to agree wholeheartedly but in my experience (and professionals in the community) the automatic lens correction for Olympus lenses (for instance, the excellent 12mm f/2.0 for MFT cameras) does not fully remove distortion (I have to manually set this to +7 in the lens correction panel). I suggest that you add this recommendation to the chart shooting guide. Either you need smaller charts A5 to A10 or you have to give up the minimum distance approach. In the case of some lenses, for example macro lenses, both recommendations do not match together. There is only one question left for myself: For the shootings you promote minimum focus distance, 2xminimum focus distance, and 5xminimum focus distance. Really, I have to wow your work, i.e., the lens profile creator itself as a solution, but also the guides. The guide is simple, well understood, but nevertheless very detailed. I was intensively working through Adobe's "Calibration Chart Shooting Guide". If I will find some time, I will make use of the Adobe Lense Profile Creator and publish the results on Adobe's platform.īut still, these lenses from OLYMPUS definitely deserve more attention than is currently evident.ĭid the people, who maintain the downloader, give you any feedback about the OLYMPUS pop-up? The most practical thing would be just to change the name in the drop-down list to "OLYMPUS IM", as what it is de facto. The lens correction should take place at an early stage of the workflow.Ī correction with a PS plug-in would be too late for the raw workflow. PTLens offers camera profiles for theses lenses, but unfortunately - it is a Photoshop plug-in and does not support ACR. Please do not forget about the E-System of OLYMPUS for professionals, the OLYMPUS four thirds system.
The consumer level of the E-system might be substituted by newer developments such as the micro four thirds system in the future,īut nevertheless of the latest micro four thirds developments on the market,
I will give a list of camera bodies and lenses that represent the part of the OLYMPUS E-System - extra for professional demands. Maybe Adobe needs to additionally support the OLYMPUS four thirds system - just because of that bug. That wants to use Adobe Lens Profile Downloader for the OLYMPUS Four Thirds system.Īs a consequence, the list cannot be representative for the OLYMPUS needs and interests around the world. I think and I hope you agree that this "bug" is little known to the community You have to type by hand "OLYMPUS IM" into the Camera Make field and then you will find a small selection of camera profiles. If you select "OLYMPUS" from the Camera Make drop down menu, you will not find one profile. Unfortunately for OLYMPUS, the Adobe Lense Profile Downloader has a bug: You have a good answer and a good solution, nothing to complain.
