P: Perspective correction from Camera metadata not supported for Leica Q3

[Wilson Laidlaw]

When perspective correction is selected in camera for the Leica Q3 (I have it set to On/Off on the Q3's option button #2), this does not appear to activate in LR Classic when converting the DNG, using the camera's image metadata. Only manual perspective correction appears to be available, which makes the camera feature rather pointless. I am using LR Classic (V 13.0.1) on an M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and with Sonoma 14.0 Operating System. Profile corrections does not list the Leica Q3 but only the M, R and S models.

"The November 2023 Lightroom update still does not support perspective control for Q3 :(. "

Right, LR 13.0.2 fixed just one bug:

(You have to dig deep to find this page: In LR, do the menu command Help > What's New, then scroll to the very bottom and click Fixed Issues.)

LR generally releases a non-patch version every 8 weeks, so we might expect to see LR 13.1 this week or next.

Lightroom 13.1 supports Q3's Perspective Correction.

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, please mark this Idea as implemented -- I too observe that LR 13.1 automatically applies perspective corrections recorded by the Leica Q3.

My only issue is the LRC and LR seem to handle things differently. In LRC the perspective adjustment is applied as the image is imported.  You can undo the adjustment should you so wish.  In LR the adjustment is not applied on import.  Rather you have to go to Geometry and select the guided option to apply the correction.  Just seems odd to me that LR does not apply the correction on import... I prefer the LRC approach,  Still it is no big deal as long as it is clear what the user has to do to apply/remove the correction, which it currently isn't.

In LrC, the perspective correction is applied automatically only if you set Preferences>Presets>Raw Defaults>Global to Camera Settings. I do not know whether there is such a setting in LR,
