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?

Right, just allow that Aspect slider in Transform tab to go to -500 or so from the current -100.
I mean, the feature is already there, enhance it a bit, that’s all.

I'd like this too, it's a pain going to Photoshop.

In my mind the slider should rest at 0 in the middle for no distortion. Negative numbers on the left and positive numbers on the right, with the ability to type in any aspect ratio needed. Different anamorphic lenses are going to continually be introduced, including 1.8x format.

so Adobe dev team, is it possible to implement this in order to help and optimize our workflow?
just modify the aspect slider with a guide at 2x and 1,33x
please!!

Taking every photo into Photoshop is a huge pain if you ever go back and change your mind about the raw parameters. As someone else mentioned, there is already an aspect slider. This just needs to be extended to allow for common desqueeze ratios like 2x and 1.33x

I second this. Especially for the Lightroom Mobile (iOS app)

With anamorphic lenses now even available for mobile phone cameras (Moondog / Moment) I would very much lke to see this across all flavours of Lightroom
