Missing Lens Profile

[AlanH614]

I understand that many Canon lens profiles are now built into Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, etc. I checked the appropriate path on my Macbook to find the lens profiles, but there isn't one for my Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS zoom. I see the v2 profile in there, but not my version. Interesting, too, that many profiles are camera body specific while others are not. Anyway, since Adobe discontinued their lens profile downloader long ago, is there any way to get the needed lens profile into rawmakase for use there?

Yes—the profile for your original EF 24–105mm f/4L IS USM is still supplied by Adobe. I checked the maintainer’s local Adobe files, and it’s named:

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (Canon EF 24-105mm f4 L IS USM) - RAW.lcp

The “EOS-1Ds Mark III” prefix identifies the camera used to create the profile; RAWmakase doesn’t require your photos to come from that body.

There are two sources of lens corrections: some cameras embed correction data in their RAW files, which RAWmakase can read for supported formats; Adobe also supplies separate .lcp files. For this lens, import the Adobe .lcp. RAWmakase doesn’t automatically use profiles from an Adobe installation.

On your Mac:

1. In Finder, press Cmd+Shift+G and enter:

   /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Canon/
   

2. Find the exact file above. Choose the version ending in - RAW.lcp, rather than the similarly named file without that suffix or the IS II profile.
3. Open a photo in RAWmakase, go to Lens Corrections → Import Lens Profiles…, and select that file.
4. Turn on Enable Profile Corrections. Setup → Auto should select it when the RAW records the expected lens name. You can also select it through the Make, Model, and Profile menus.

If it isn’t in the shared Camera Raw folder, the maintainer’s Lightroom Classic installation also contains it here:

/Applications/Adobe Lightroom Classic/Adobe Lightroom Classic.app/Contents/Resources/LensProfiles/1.0/Canon/

You don’t need the discontinued Lens Profile Downloader for this lens.

I think I'm finally starting to get a handle on Lens Corrections...it's far from intuitive, but selecting lenses manually seems to work, expect for the 100-400. That one is downright strange!

The automatic lens-profile matching issue described above is now fixed in #612 and will be included in the next release. RAWmakase now handles the extra space after “EF”, so the imported profile for your original EF 24–105mm f/4L IS USM is selected automatically with Default/Auto. The misleading “isn’t imported” message has also been corrected.

Your report about the unusual result with the 100–400mm still needs separate investigation.

[Bug Report] I have the same issue on my Ubuntu 26.04 desktop, latest release 0.4.4. I uploaded my zip file here. Do I need to add it to the Issues bug report?

Where exactly did you upload it? Please open a new issue with more details.

This should be fixed. If the problem persists, please open a new issue (not a discussion) with relevant details and files needed to reproduce.
