P: Merge to HDR automatically applies lens correction profile to Sony ARW (RAW) file

I'm using Lightroom CC, Sony A7r camera, generating Sony Raw files (AWR) and my problem happens with all of my Sony lenses (all of them have lens Profile Corrections, but I have it turned off on import).
I bring the images into Lightroom without lens correction. When I send my bracketed exposures into Merge To HDR with auto align and auto tone turned off, Lightroom automatically applies the lens correction profile. This is not a problem for most of my lenses as I want them corrected EXCEPT for my Sony 16 mm fisheye converter. I don't want lightroom to correct the fisheye distortion. I talked with someone using Nikon RAW files and Lightroom does not correct their fisheye distortion (don't know about other lenes). How can I prevent Lightroom from applying profile correction to my images upon sending them to Merge to HDR? Thanks

    This should now be fixed as of the ACR 9.6 update released today. You can find more details here: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2016/06/camera-raw-9-6-now-available.html

    Both Rikk and Chris Castleberry are Adobe people, and Chris in a reply further down in the discussion, said this is a bug.  Thanks for posting and providing sample files to Rikk.

    I moved the fisheye lens correction profile to the desktop as suggested above and now the merge to HDR gives me nice fisheye distortion. Thanks for all you help. Hopefully it can be fixed fairly quickly.

    I moved the profile to the desktop and now my fisheye looks great. Thanks for the work around. Can someone move this on to Adobe to hopefully get it fixed?

    Thanks

    Steve, I am only speaking of the notification by the application of an internal profile's being applied in the Lens Correction panel - not the appearance of the image itself.

    Ok, move that profile from the LR folder illustrated, earlier, to the Desktop, then restart LR and see if things work any better.

    The lens profile information says that there is a chromatic aberration correction built into the RAW file. There is no mention of other lens correction.

    The unwanted correction looks EXACTLY link what is applied by the enable profile correction. When I get a chance I will superimpose the two images in Photoshop, but I believe they are identical. I'm using Windows. The profile is Sony FE 16 mm F3.5 Fisheye

    To me the bug looks to be that within the HDR operator, an external profile is being treated as an internal-always-on profile, so the effect is being baked in erroneously.

    Your screenshots illustrate the difference of what you see compared to what you want, but don't show the LR settings in their entirety.

    Q1:  Looking at your first screenshot, what does it say at the bottom of the Lens Corrections area?  Is there a circle-i that says built-in lens-profile corrections have been applied, or not?  And if so, if you click on the circle-i, what kinds of distortion does it say have been corrected?  I ask because the screenshot doesn't include the bottom of the lens corrections area, unfortunately, only the top that does show no "old-way" enable lens profile corrections have been applied.

    Q2:  Using one of your original raws, if you do enable the "old-way" lens profile corrections with the checkbox, does the raw file change to have the unwanted corrections exactly like the HDR output version?

    If your answer to Q2 is Yes, then a workaround would be to delete the external lens profile file for this lens on your brand of camera--or at least move it out of the LR Resources folder so LR cannot find it, that way it cannot perform the correction, hopefully.  It's possible you'd need to also delete the other copy of the profile used by Photoshop in case LR looks, there, as well.  I know where these are located on my Windows PC but am less sure about where they'd be on a Mac. 

    On Windows the LR & PS locations of the profiles for two 16mm Sony fisheye lenses are:

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\Resources\LensProfiles\1.0\Sony
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles\1.0\Sony

    with these profile files possibly being the one that is being used:

    04/12/2016  11:33 AM            15,562 SONY (Sony 16mm F2.8 Fisheye) - RAW.lcp
    04/12/2016  11:33 AM            11,403 SONY (Sony FE 16mm F3.5 Fisheye) - RAW.lcp
    04/12/2016  11:33 AM            77,600 Sony NEX-5 (Sony E 16mm F2.8) - RAW.lcp

    It should be possible to tell which one if you look carefully at the profile information after checking Enable Profile Corrections.
