This document provides instructions for installing and using the interim Lens Correction Profile (.lcp file) for the Sigma 135mm F1.4 DG Art lens (Sony E-mount). This profile is intended for use with Adobe Photoshop Desktop Edition and Adobe Lightroom Classic until official profiles are released by Adobe.

Installation Guide
Before starting, ensure all applications on your computer are closed.
Step 1: Download and Unzip
Download the ZIP file from the official Sigma support website. Unzip the file to extract the .lcp file (SIGMA135mmF14DGA025_RAW_SONY_SE.lcp). Note: macOS users using Safari may have the file automatically unzipped.
Step 2: Copy to Directory
Copy the .lcp file to the specific folder for your operating system. Note that these folders are often hidden by default.
For Windows Users:

- Check the 'Use profile corrections' checkbox.
- In the pull-down menu, select 'Sigma'.
