P: Disable built-in lens profile

[Tokumeino]

I own Micro43 and compact cameras, where lens profiles are integrated in RAW files. With software like Capture One Pro, I can easily enable or disable theses built-in profiles. Actually, there is even a slider allowing to enable 0% or 100% of the built-in profile, and whatever percentage in between.

In LR (CC, Classic or LR6), the checkox for enabling or disabling profiles does not work with built-in profiles, which always stay enabled. This seriously limits the possibilities of several cameras which possibilities get unleashed by actual RAW developpers like Capture One Pro.

I'm actually a COP user (after switching from LR) but DAM sucks with COP and this built-in lens profile thing is the only deal breaker for me to come back. So please let users disable built-in lens profiles, or at least offer workarounds.

As a workaround, a dumb "zero" profile that would replace the built-in one (not coming on top of it) could do the job.

Adobe really should enable this for older cameras. Most of the cameras that are not enabled for this are currently sold models. I find it terribly annoying I can't disable built-in profiles for the Nikon Z7 I mostly shoot with. Nikon's software easily allows me to disable the profiles and Adobe doesn't apply the built-in correction correctly in the vignette (Nikon does).

@Victoria_Bampton_Lightroom_Queen Well, thank you for you reply, but my concern is not the ages ago cameras and lenses but new lenses and cameras we use like the Nikon Z equipment i have now. Adobe is a tool to make our life and work easier, not pleasing equipment companies!

Reviving this issue. PLEASE implement the existing fix for newer cameras to the first generation of Nikon Z cameras.

Just bought a new Z9.  Images taken with the Z lenses, especially ultrawide lenses, are STILL being autocorrected. I thought this was fixed??? C'mon, Adobe, get your act together. Otherwise, well,there are other editing packages, I use several. Adobe might go the way of the dodo on my PC if this is not resolved.  Storm and lighting shots look awful.

OK so April 2025 guy here... my Panasonic cameras are all importing with the stupid "default lens profile applied" setting.

The problem with this is, in the $70 ACDSee Program, you open a raw file and that is what you get. No cropping of my wide angle photos.... which I LOVE. The problem with that program is that the raw files don't have any of the other color corrections etc. that LRC picks up on. I love THAT feature in LRC. I tried to make profiles that will remove the lens correction, but it hasn't worked. I have not seen a step by step instruction from anyone suggesting this. I am new to LRC and need an actual I-am-totally-new-at-this step by step on how to remove the default profile. What it seems like in the comments, this isn't possible. They really should fix this. For me, this is the ONLY flaw I have seen with LRC, except for the fact that you cant sync all of your files to the cloud unless you use the "new" lightroom cloud version.... I want all of my photos on my desktop AND the cloud, without having to do anything other than right clicking a folder on my PC within LRC and selecting sync with cloud and it copies and syncs all RAW, JPG, and XMP files with the cloud. 

Dang... I really hope they can fix the lens profile thing. I can deal without the cloud thing since I have a bunch of backups, but it would be nice to have a cloud backup since I have 1tb of storage space with my subscription. They never make a perfect camera or a perfect software I guess......

For whatever it's worth, here's another reason to extend control of correction profiles to older cameras and all lenses for currently allowed cameras. If I shoot with a Nikon Z6 and Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 G2, as far as I can tell, Lightroom is applying a profile for a Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8 — how is it helping me to have a profile applied for the wrong lens? This refusal to allow us to control how OUR photos are rendered is patronizing and insulting. Do better Adobe.
