Question

User preset to Enable Lens Correction not working on import

Have a User Preset that, while selected, is not applied on Import. The preset has only two checkmarks: Treatment & Profile and Enable Lens Corrections.

 

Using LR Classic 11.4.1 on an iMac with macOS 12.4.

 

Eventually discovered LRC stored the preset in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings/EnableLensCorr on Import.xmp.

 

However, it is not being applied when importing a NEF file from a Nikon D850. After import the Enable Profile Corrections box is unchecked; toggling it manually shows and removes the correct Lens Profile.

 

Also, when I open the XMP file, I see this line:  crs:LensProfileEnable="0"   Could this setting explain why the preset is not applying the lens Profile Correction on import? Ofter setting a variable to zero turns it off. Will attach the file.

 

In the Develop module, in the presets section on the left side of the workspace, other presets are applied to the image in the workspace when moused over. However, the problematic preset, when moused over, only removes the Lens Profile Correctio if it had been manualy applied. 

 

In extensively searching this LRC community, tried many changes: various Preset Preferences: For Global: Camera Settings and Preset. When Camera Settings selected, correct camera is displayed (Nikon D850) and Default selected to be the desired User setting. Also tried toggling "Store presets with this catalog" on and off. I do not want presets stored with the catalog as I use several catalogs. Each time a preference was changed, LR was Quit and restarted. Still no happiness. 

 

Is this an instance where Adobe has acquiesced to a Nikon request to disable presets on import? Or is this a bug?

 

Thank you,

Doug

It's possible that your camera defaults override this preset, so it's logical to set the preset as your camera default in Preferences - Presets. https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/raw-defaults.html

Thanks for your comment. It appears LR is not storing the preset preference. In Preferences | Presets, I set Global to Camera Settings, Camera to Nikon D850 and Default to Camera settings. Then closed Preferences. When I reopen Preferences | Presets, the camera has returned to the default Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Normally, when a preference is selected, it is stored when Preferences is closed. As a further test, I closed and then reopened LR after setting the camera; on reopening, the default Canon camera has reappeared. The issue is not resolved.

Maybe you should try resetting the Lightroom preferences, and then set your preset as camera default again. https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/
