Question

Unable to save profile correction changes with RAWs that contain embedded profiles

Lightroom 14.1.1 on macOS 15.3, MacBook Pro M4 Max

 

Using a Canon R5MkII with a Canon RF 24mm F1.4 VCM lens which comes with forced profile correction in the RAW based on how the lens is built.

 

Bug: Currently if you load a RAW image, it does not load the Adobe Camera RAW profile for the lens:

Model - Canon RF 24mm F1.4 L VCM

Profile - Adobe (Canon RF 24mm F1.4 L VCM)

 

but instead defaults to the built-in correction:

Model - RF24mm F1.4 L VCM

Profile - Camera Settings

 

This profile is unable to be modified and saved with any new default changes, i.e. changing the Vignetting, then going to Save Lens Profile As Default, will NOT save the changes as designed.

 

Optimal situation: Allow the user to save any lens profile corrections for lenses with embedded profiles for future use, or allow the user to select the Adobe Camera RAW version of the lens correction profile as the default for the lens.

 

Steps:

1. Edit a RAW file, change the Vingetting setting to 50, and click Setup: Save New Lens Profile Defaults.

 

2. Edit a second RAW with the same lens, and in Lens Corrections, change Setup to Default (if it's not already). Observe that Distortion and Vignetting are 100 (incorrect).

 

3. Select the Adobe Camera RAW profile for the lens, edit Vignette to 50 and Save New Lens Profile Defaults.

 

4. Open another RAW file, immediately change the profile from the Embedded to the Adobe one. The correct settings will have been applied, but both Vignetting and Distortion will still be shown as 100. Only after moving the slider bar slightly will either immediately jump to the near 100 setting, showing the profile did save the new defaults but something is showing it incorrectly on top of it.

Recently bought the Canon RF 24mm F1.4 L VCM lens for my Canon R5MkII body

 

Upon importing RAW images to Lightroom, it loads up this camera profile:

Make - Canon

Model - RF24mm F1.4 L VCM

Profile - Camera Settings

 

For some reason this profile being loaded is giving me issues customizing the default lens profile settings for this lens. I can't save adjusted settings as a universal default for this lens. 

 

If I go to model, I can find the proper profile:

Make - Canon

Model - Canon RF 24mm F1.4 L VCM

Profile - Adobe (Canon RF 24mm F1.4 L VCM)

 

How do I make this lens load up this second profile by default and not the odd "Camera Settings" profile.

 

All my other lenses properly load the Adobe profile for their lens, it just this specific lens seems to only load the Camera setting one.

To change the default lens profile, select it and then choose 'Save as new Lens Profile Default' from the Settings pop-up menu in the Lens Corrections panel.

That does not work for this lens, unfortunately. 

 

I load up the RAW file, it loads

Make - Canon

Model - RF24mm F1.4 L VCM

Profile - Camera Settings

 

I change the vingetting and save as new lens profile default. Closing and restarting lightroom and importing the same RAW or a different RAW with the same lens will still load the same profile as above but with zero changes.
