P: Anamorphic Lens Support (De-squeeze)

Yeah, the way it has to be done right now, doesn't allow the full resolution to be used.

Adding a vote here. Autofocus anamorphic lenses are now a thing, so this topic will rapidly become less niche. I'd echo other comments that this is not necessarily linked to profiling specific lenses. I personally do not want to remove all the distortion and vignetting from my anamorphics, I just need the proper pixel aspect ratio. As has been pointed out, this won't be in metadata, so it needs to be manually set.

Crucially, this should not be handled by the existing Transform controls. Even if the Aspect slider could go farther, it would be a bad way to correct for anamorphic distortion, as it would make any other transforms wonky due to the order of operations.

Pixel Aspect Ratio is well understood by other Adobe apps. Time for Lightroom to join the party. Anamorphics are a blast!

Lens profile version wouldn't work for vintage lenses, anamorphic adapters, or custom made/modified lenses.

This would also likely be significantly more dev time than just a ratio input to de-squeeze.

It is nice having it for sure.

yeah but specific desqueeze funtion would be good too. for vintage stuff that there might be no lens profile. both would be key though

Just basic lens profiles are all that is needed.

I'll add to the sentiment of adding anamorphic de-squeeze support in light room. Would be super helpful please and thank you!

Same here, I am using anamorphic adapter for my still camera and still lenses. Really hope for a desqueeze function to make everything simple thank you Adobe!

With the recent introduction of AF anamorphic lenses from Sirui and Blazar, this feature is going to be needed more than ever. I am shooting a lot of anamorphic photography now and the round trip to and from Photoshop is tedious, takes up a lot of additional hard drive space to store additional TIFs, and should be totally unnecessary. Adobe, get on this!

Update regarding my previous scripts if you are not familiar with Powershell scripting environment:

• PowerShell 5.1 is installed on every Windows computer and my scripts should run fine with this relatively old version but I always install recent 7.x version from Microsoft https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.4
• You have to run them from Powershell shell - I'm using Microsoft Windows Terminal https://github.com/microsoft/terminal but it should be ok for default Windows installation to just search for 'Powershell' in Windows start menu and run it and start the scripts from there
