In Camera Raw in Photoshop and in the Develop Module in Lightroom, the lens profile popup will only display the profiles appropriate for the file type. So if you’re looking at a raw file, you get to see raw-based lens profiles. If you’re looking at a jpeg, you get to see non-raw-based lens profiles.
Adobe provides many more raw-based lens profiles, than non-raw-based lens profiles. Unfortunately, lens correction quality for non-raw files (JPEGs, TIFFs, etc.) can be very problematic. This is because it depends on where the JPEG/TIFF came from, and how it was previously processed. For example, a JPEG that comes straight out of the camera is very different from a JPEG that somebody created from a raw file in ACR. If you try to apply the same non-raw-based lens profile to these two cases, you can get quite-different results (even though they’re both JPEGs from the same camera & lens). In other words, correction quality is not very stable.
