Why doesn’t my Sigma 18-35 lens profile appear in Lightroom?

I’m using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe says the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 is supported, but I don’t see it in the Lens Corrections/Profile section. Do lens profiles need to be added manually, and if so where do they go? Also, does it matter whether the image was shot in RAW or JPEG?

You can either wait for Adobe to add it in an update, or if you can't wait you can download the Lens Profile Downloader. If the lens profile isn't available yet you can make your own with the Lens Profile Creator. Both are available to download from Adobe here.

If Adobe lists the lens as supported, the profile may appear automatically only for certain file types. In this case, the key issue is that Lightroom lens profile support was working for RAW files, not the JPEGs being edited.
If the profile still doesn’t show up, it may not be included in your installed version yet. Then you can either:
- update Lightroom/Camera Raw and wait for Adobe to include it, or
- use Adobe’s Lens Profile Downloader to get an available profile, or
- create your own with Adobe Lens Profile Creator.
For manually installed .lcp profiles, Lightroom/Camera Raw looks in Adobe lens profile folders on your system. On Windows, users have reported success placing the file in the Camera Raw LensProfiles folder under AppData, and sometimes also in the Adobe program/profile folders listed in Adobe’s readme files.
So the practical answer is: first try a RAW file from that lens, then update Lightroom if needed, and only manually install/download a profile if it still isn’t available.
