    Profile for Nikon AFS 17-35 f/2.8?

      Is there a profile available for Nikon AFS 17-35 f/2.8?  I cannot find it.

          Yes. There is a Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 profile because I developed one with my D700, and sent it to Adobe for the database. My

          profile has the following: apertures f2.8, f8, f11, f22. Focal lengths: 17mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm.

          Nine images each set. I am looking at an image now in CS5 shot with my 17-35mm lens and I see the Adobe global symbol after "searching online", and my profile is there, there is also one for the D3S with this lens, in the Adobe database for the 17-35mm f2.8 Nikon AFS lens. The Adobe user-contributed profile that I send for the D700 has the same listings as mine and the same distances for each set, so that one is my profile, I hope you find it useful.

          The profile that I developed for the Nikon 17-35mm F2.8 lens  is for raw images and was developed on a D700, full frame sensor.

          Hope this helps,

          Debra

            Thank you.  I see your profile and the less extensive D3S profile.  I must not have been searching right.  I'll check it out.

             

            Now here is a question that must have been asked before.  If I use a profile on an image, I will want to back it up an identify it somehow.  So that I can always go back to it.  How is that done?

              You're welcome for the info. and profile.

              Yes, you should back the lens profile from the user contributed database, up to your local machine (your own hard drive) so you will not have to search for it each time.

              WIthin Photoshop CS5, in the Lens Profile menu(that you have reached by choosing "Filter" on the top menu, then "Lens Correction"), you will see the middle menu on the right which states "Lens Profiles". Immediately to the right of this title is a small icon, that looks like a miniature triangle with lines beside it. Click it (left click). Choose "Save Online Profile locally". The profile is automatically saved to this location(I use WIndows XP and it varies according to your operating system):

              C:\Documents and Settings\HP Owner\Application data\Adobe\Camera Raw\Lens Profiles\1.0

              Downloaded

               

              The file is not named well, I tried this with the D3S Profile and it is named with mixed up letters about 50 letters long. I would rename the file(right click the file and choose rename) to something more obvious, like "Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 AFS RAW" or such, and leave the extension as it is, which is .lcp.

               

              Thus the lens profile is saved to your hard disk and Adobe should find it and show the new name if you renamed it,when you invoke the Lens Profile command and you have an image (Raw) shot with that lens and the exif data shows that lens to be the one taking the image.
