Tokina 11-16 and LR3...which lens correction profile?

Just got a Tokina 11-16 and wondering which lens profile others are using to correct for this lens in LR. Or is there a lens profile for this lens specifically available somewhere?

Thanks.

Whoops! Just answered my own question...

-->clicky<--

Not sure why this didn't show up when I searched here. Came up when I Googled. Sorry, it's early, couldn't sleep.

Still trying to figure out how install the lens profile into LR3 without using CS5 (I don't have that just CS4.). Anyone know how???

I don't think you need to have PSCS5, unless you want to access the Adobe Lens Profile server:

From here:

Apparently, you can just copy them into one of these folders:

User profiles location:

Mac OSX: /Users/(User Name)/Library/Applicat​ion Support/Adobe/CameraRa​w/LensProfiles/1.0
Windows 7 or Vista: C:\User\(User Name)\AppData\Roaming\​Adobe\CameraRaw\LensPr​ofiles\1.0
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\(User Name)\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\L​ensProfiles\1.0

or

Shared profiles location:

Mac OSX: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRa​w/LensProfiles/1.0
Windows 7 or Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\C​ameraRaw\LensProfiles\​1.0
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\L​ensProfiles\1.0

I've got it in the appropriate folder on the Mac but it's not showing up to use in LR3.

Have you re-started Lightroom since you put the file in the folder?

Yes. Still a no go. I'm a bit confused. Everything I've seen on the Web says to install it via CS5, which I don't have. So I've tried everything I can think of. Someone said I have to import it into LR but I have no idea how as there is nowhere I can see to have it import a lens profile.

Really quite confusing...

Have you gone to this knowledge base with various links:

Here is one from the bottom of the long list of lenses to a "Profile Downloader" that may be helpful if you haven't seen it, although it's on the same page as the Profile Creator:

I'll say that I don't know what all is involved because I've never used the creator or "iported"/installed any profiles -- the installed list includes pretty much all my Canon lenses from what I can see.

Is the profile you downloaded for a Raw file or a rendered file like a JPEG, TIFF or PSD? Also, what type of file are you trying to correct? Raw of rendered?

Profiles designed for Raw files will not work with rendered files and vice versa. So if the profile were for a Raw file and you are trying to correct a JPEG the profile will not be accessible in Lightroom.

This one is for RAW files. I only shot RAW so it shouldn't be a problem for me.

Thanks. I hadn't seen the downloader. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to allow you to actually bring in a profile. It has to find it online (I'm guessing on the Adobe site).

Why the hell do they make it so hard to do this????

Ok, finally figured it out thanks to everyone!

Seems I didn't put it in the correct folder. Supposed to be (as was pointed out):

On my Mac
Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRa​w/LensProfiles/1.0

I was putting it in one of the folders within 1.0.

Ugh...

Thanks again!

Glad it was an easy fix

LOL! Easy fix just a difficult time looking for the solution.
