Lens Profiles and colour profiles

[mikeyp2000]

On the A77, Sony supports several lenses for automatic correction (distortion,  CA, vignetting etc).  This facilty is very good but only works in JPG.  Could Sony provide  profiles that work for RAW files?  Specifically I'm thinking about Adobe  Lightroom or ACR for Photoshop.  Other RAW converters may also support  lens correction and would benefit from Sony's help on this.

Sigma  provided Adobe with a complete set of lens correction modules for  Lightroom/ACR and these are tremendously useful.  It would be great  if Sony could do the same for their lenses.

On a similar note, other  manufacturers (eg Can*n and Nik*n) get better support for colour  profiles in Lightroom/ACR.  Canikon RAW shooters can select  Standard/Vivid/Neutral/Landscape colour profiles in LR/ACR to match colour output from a RAW and in-camera JPGs.  It would be  great if Sony could generate a similar set of colour profiles for the  A77 etc.

Cheers

Hi Mikeyp

There is alerady full support for the A77 in LR 3.5. However lens correction isn't camera-dependant, so it's really a question of which lenses Lightroom supports.

A list of compatible lenses can be found here. Bear in mind the Adobe Lens Profile Creator is available should your lens not be supported.

Cheers
