why does bridge correct my Fisheye files?

Question

If I photograph with Canon R5 and fisheye 8-15 mm. fixes bridge my files. Right when they come in they are "round" like the jpeg files, but after 3 seconds they straighten up. Can this be changed?

Hi @maj-britts76717509, Bridge, by itself, cannot do this as Bridge has no image-adjustment capabilities at all built into the application code. It can display changes in the file from what Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) adjusts within the image. However, I'm not aware of any way to auto-apply those settings after importing images.

You should be able to "undo" those changes by opening the files in ACR, going into the Optics tab, and unchecking the Camera Profile Corrections. I have a Canon 10–22 mm lens for my Canon 7D m2 lens, but I've never seen anything like this before. Can you share an image (via DropBox or equivalent) so I can see if I can replicate this?

I have this same problem. And the fix here does work, thnakyou. I'm including a partial screen shot here to show 6 images all shot at 8mm, one with the "fix" applied.
You can even apply the fix in mass. For example I just shot 1167 images at an aircraft museam. 114 are fisheye images. I can sort, select all them all, and apply the fix.

But of course I don't think Bridge, ACR, or photoshop are "fixing" my fisheye images by makeing them non-fisheye. They are (explative deleted)ing them up, and I am undoing that. I shot with my $$$ fisheye lens because I wanted a fisheye image. I can't imagine anyone buying a $1200 fisheye lens and wanting non-fisheye images. The profile corrections here are wrong. Imagine if Adobe looked for images shot with f1.2 lenses and then sharpened up the background because they were too blurry.
