P: Embedded DNG Gainmap Metadata toggle

Hello everyone, I am here to request for a new necessary feature for Adobe Lightroom.

It's basically a toggle for "Embedded DNG GainMap" which allow us to disable the lens corrections done via Metadata of RAW file.

I am a professional photographer who mostly shoots DNG RAW images for my Documentry Street photography with an Android smartphone which embedds the "lens vignette correction" & other "lens corrections" in the metadata of DNG file.

With current Lightroom version this metadata is always read and the DNG is auto corrected which is fine for most but sometimes when an artist wants most control out of the DNG this feels like a restriction.

There are times when I want that organic lens vignette and hue shift at the edges of my frame to highlight the subject at centre or sometimes I don't like the excessive noise at the edges of frame as they are digitally corrected by increasing the exposure to correct the lens shading.

I kindly request the Adobe Developers team to please offer this toggle switch in the optics section of Lightroom right next to "correct chromatic abbreviation" toggle.

Thanks & Regards
