Lens Correction settings on RAW files from Canon R6 mkiii

When importing RAW files from my Canon R6 mkiii, Lightroom automatically applies “Remove chromatic aberration” and “Enable profile corrections”.

This is all very good, as I do normally tick these settings. However, this has become a problem when using my Sigma 12-24mm lens as I’m not able to adjust the amount of distortion I need.

I previously shot with a Canon 5d mkiv, and Lightroom would not automatically apply these settings. I would then tick the boxes to apply the settings, and had adjusted the default for the lens to also apply a specific amount of distortion. I was very happy with this.

I now find that the photos with said lens have too much distortion, and I can't correct it properly.

In camera, I have all the “Lens aberration correction” settings disabled.

 

Anyone know how to prevent Lightroom from automatically applying “Remove chromatic aberration” and “Enable profile corrections” to imported photos?

    This can be done in the preferences in Lightroom. Create a preset in which the lens corrrection is disabled and  assgin it to the appropriate camera model.
