P: Anamorphic Lens Support (De-squeeze)

I shoot video using the Red Epic camera, which shoots super high resolution video. I often pull high-res photos from the camera and use them in Lightroom. However, I'm hoping to add a feature that supports anamorphic lenses. These lenses shoot natively-stretched pixels. Meaning, the images are stretched vertically 2:1. It's a classic way to shoot movies, and I wish Lightroom supported a way to select the pixel aspect ratio so the images can be viewed undistorted. Currently, I have to stretch them in Photoshop and export. Which is a bummer because the Red Camera's raw files are supported in LR, and I would love to use those files straight from the camera rather than make new ones. Anyone else agree?

Greetings all,

Updates for Camera Raw are available. The April release (18.3) has an update regarding this feature request.

If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by hitting [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

Thank you for being so patient.

This is a great step in the right direction!

Are there plans to make this available in the Lightroom and Lightroom Classic applications?

The ability to change the pixel aspect ratio or just enter a “squeeze” (vertical stretch) or “desqueeze” (horizontal stretch) ratio would be so helpful.

If Capture One can do this so can Lightroom.

Please just let us manually set dimensions or the pixel aspect ratio. Maybe there’s a way to display the change in Lightroom without changing the actual RAW file just like any other adjustment.

Hi @l_e_x_y_ —

Would you be willing to share that automation? I would really love edit the stretched images in Camera Raw as I often find adjustments need to be made after they're opened in PS and stretched there, which as you know makes the entire process quite clunky.

Hello @Rikk Flohr: Photography

I wanted to check in to see if you can report on any updates on anamorphic support in Camera Raw. I was not able to provide samples when you requested them, but am happy to provide additional images shot on a variety of anamorphic lenses if needed. If that's helpful, please let me know!

Still extremely relevant. Hoping for a dedicated slider or option to easily desqueeze anamorphic photos in Lightroom (both Classic and CC).

Thansk to ChatGPT I now have an app (automator) on my mac that I can just drop a folder on... and it desqueezes all the dng's in it. And it skips the ones it has already done 🙂
So the workflow is very simple:

1. Import via Lightroom and convert raw to DNG
2. Drag my Anamorphic 1-33 folder on the app icon on my desktop
3. Refresh the folder in the lightroom catalog
