adobe and tokina

[pinco000]

hi guys, Im wondering why adobe doesnt list ANY tokina lens profiles for the lens correction?
I own a tokina 11-16 f2.8. Wonderfull lens but at 11 it need correction. Im not able to create a profile myself.
So I went for adobe lens profile downloader to be dissapointed even more.
The profiles for the tokina 11-16 are for Nikon D300, not for D7000
Cant understand adobe! I dont think that tokina is a smaller manufacturer than the majority of manufacturers listed in photoshop cs5. ;(

I thought that users supplied the lens/camera profiles. :shrug: But even if they don't supply them all/any, as with any situations where there are a lot of variations, the most common combinations will supplied first. There are a lot of D300/S's floating about, so they will be supplied before the D7000. Tokina are not a major lens manufacturer, being behind the camera's own brands (which most people will have) and then Sigma. Add to that a lens which is not a mainstream high selling lens like the 11-16mm, and it is understandable why your lens/camera combination may not (yet) be supported.

They do offer the lens profile creator software, but if few people own the lens/camera combination you have, and those that don't have the inclination to do the profiling, then there may never be profile available. :shrug:

Frustrating I know, but I think that is your reason.

And there is always the option to do it yourself if the problem is big enough. I considered it when the lens profiles appeared and my camera/lens combination were not available, but felt it was not that big a problem when I looked at the Lens Profile software. Luckily profiles have been created for my camera/lenses.

Lucky indeed. But as I said, it wasn't available initially.

Have you tried an internet search for profiles?

There may be someone who may have done the profile, but not uploaded it to Adobe. :shrug:

Ok..I tried and found the profiles quite poor :thumbsdown: a simple preset from manual correction works fine most of the time :1st:

If you look at the way these camera profiles are produced ( The way Adobe recommend) it's very complex and time consuming. They can't do every lens/ camera combination available. They are doing the most popular ones first, plus in many cases rely on the equipment manufacturers supplying the equipment for these profiles.
