Automatic fisheye correction on import?

[mycroft_holmes]

Hi,

recently I started noticing the same issue described here:

Re: Lens Correction Issues

Namely:

1) I import all my pictures with a copyright preset, no development settings

2) all my pictures taken with the sony 16mm fisheye have the lens correction automatically turned on (this lens has an adobe supplied profile).

I'm not sure when this started happening because I don't use a fisheye exactly everyday. I can say that this doesn't seem to happen for any other lens.

I don't have another fisheye here, so I cannot test.

Also it didn't happen the last time I imported such pictures (same catalog, same computer, different Lightroom - it was july 2016).

Does anybody have an explanation?

thanks

I had the same problem where my circular fisheye images were being "corrected" in front of my eyes. Here is what worked for me:
Wait until the import is complete. > Delevope > Select one image > Lens Correction module > Uncheck "Enable Profile Corrections" > The image goes to the uncorrected, circular fish eye > "Gallery View" > "Select All" (of the corrected fisheye images you want uncorrected)  > Sync Settings (on the lower right of Lightroom) > In "Synchronize Settings" window "Check None" in lower left > Select "Lens Corrections" > Check "Enable Lens corrections"  > "Synchronize" > And watch them all go to uncorrected.

Yeah I just noticed the automatic fisheye barrel distortion correction is enabled in LightRoom Classic 14 2024.  I use a Sigma 8mm circular fisheye on a crop sensor camera and I explicitly want that distorted look.  Adobe should really display a prompt like "fisheye lens detected - would you like us to correct it?". Yes/ No ?  I like the idea of having the ability to correct it but not have it forced on me without prompting.

@anthony_maw: "I like the idea of having the ability to correct it but not have it forced on me without prompting."

With many / most Sony lenses, you can explicitly enable/disable lens profile corrections in the Lens Corrections panel:

By default, that option is disabled. Are you applying a preset on Import using Apply During Import > Develop Settings > preset, or have you changed the raw defaults for that camera in Preferences > Presets > Raw Defaults?

dpreview.com doesn't have a sample image for the Sigma 8mm, but I verified this with a Sigma 10-18mm image.  

If this doesn't help, please upload a sample raw with that lens to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar and post the sharing link here.
