Irix customers requested updates to the lens correction profiles for Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom and the manufacturer has delivered. The news posted on their website a few days ago announced not only the improvements asked for, but 2 new video tutorials to help install the new profiles.
…more accurate correction data for distortion and vignetting…
The improvements include more accurate correction data for distortion and vignetting, along with more standard cataloging within Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw. The earlier version of the profiles required the user to look up the profile under the name of the camera manufacturer. This updated version can be found under the Irix name after installation. Correction for vignetting is precise and completely automatic once the lens has been selected. Remember, radial distortion is well-controlled in these lenses, so the noticeable effect will be minimal. You will notice an increase in exposure at the corners of your images.

The installation videos have been provided in response to questions about how to install the profiles. Although they’re available on the Irix Youtube channel, we’re providing them for you below. (You’ll want to view them in full screen mode.) There’s one video for Windows and another for Mac. You only need to install these in one folder to use them in both Lightroom and ACR.
Here’s the Mac version:
And the Windows version:

I have installed the lens correction profiles as your video shows but the IRIX lens isn’t listed within Camera Raw. Using Photoshop CC. It does show and work in Lightroom. What can be done to allow use in CameraRaw within Photoshop CC?
Hi, Clarence. If the profiles are installed in the directory shown in the video, they should be listed in both LR and ACR. Please open Creative Cloud and make sure your CC apps are up to date.
Also a quick typo at the beginning of this blog. Cusomers asked. Irix listened.
Thanks, Jim. That has been corrected.
The link for the profile doesn’t work anymore
Julie, thank you for notifying us of the out-of-date link. The profile download link has, indeed, been moved and we weren’t notified. Here’s the correct location: https://bit.ly/3jQcPd5
We’ll be updating it in the article. Thanks again!
