Problem Lens Correction CO 7.0.1

Ralph Eisenberg
This is probably a user error, but the lens correction tool seems to kick in automatically for one of my lenses when I create a session. At the same time as previews are generated, CO detects this specific lens, and automatically applies image specific correction for chromatic aberration as well as distortion (100%). Can something be done to eliminate this behavior?

    Hi

    I had the same problem - please see this link

    Thank you Ian. A very helpful and edifying link.
    I find it absolutely stupefying that for certain random lenses, corrections are applied and imposed independently of the user's intentions. And a fairly arcane workaround must be instituted to circumvent this automatic process. Since v7, I've had more crashes than in the previous ten years of using CO (previously virtually non-existant), but this tops it all.
    I can now better grasp why after using CO almost 100% of the time for my conversions, both because of its outstanding workflow and unsurpassed conversion quality, my usage, with the exception of viewing Raw files for selection, has fallen to nil.

    Hi Ralph

    I agree - it is really annoying and unnecessarily time consuming to have to check all images just on the chance that corrections might have been imposed by default, particularly as it only happens on certain lenses! There should be a way of setting this to Always Off.

    I am going to send in a support case on this and request they address this in a future version - perhaps if you could do the same it may get more attention?

    Regards

    Ian, your attitude is very constructive and should undoubtedly be emulated. There are currently, however, so many glitches in the program that it seems like a full-time job to write support cases for them individually with a dubious probability of their eventual correction. Perhaps attention should be directed to the Lightroom implementation of this feature.
