Lr6 custom Lens Corrections Q:

[Immaculens]

In the Lens Corrections Panel - I have been trying to get a custom setting to stick and apply it on import when using a lens.

In manual settings I set both CA sliders to '2' and then I click the Setup drop-down menu to "Save New Lens Profile Default" - but when I go to another image using the same lens and enable Lens Corrections - my custom settings to not take effect.

Example, my Sigma 30 1.4 Art. I set the manual CA sliders to '2', then Save New Lens Profile Default, but it does not happen for the next image.

Very little help out there with google. What is the "Custom" and  "Save New Lens Profile Default" for if not to customise the profile?

Much thanks ~

Try saving a user preset –see image below. After setting the CA panel keep your image selected and click the plus icon on the presets tab in the left hand sidebar. After you create a new user preset it can be selected in the import dialog to be applied to all images being added to Lightroom.

I did create an import preset - however it applies the custom Defringe '2' adjustment to all lenses... I want it to be applied only to images I use the Sigma 30mm with...

I tried 'Auto' instead of Default but nope -  can't seem to find the correct settings so that the Defringe '2' setting is only applied to my Sigma...

Lots of Sigma lenses should be automatically recognized with raw images. So it should not be necessary to create a custom profile. Is your lens not in the list:

Yes my Lr recognises my Sigma Lens and all lenses.

I'm trying to customise an import preset so that when this lens is used - I want it to add a bit more defringe.

The problem is that it adds the defringe to all lenses on import.

You could start by applying a basic auto preset and then apply the custom ‘2’ tweak using auto-sync while all are selected. But don’t for get to switch off auto-sync immediately afterwards as it can have unintended consequences.

You have to manually apply the preset you saved.

There is an option to update the Camera Defaults based on the cameras serial number. But that will be for all shots from that camera and I'm not sure what you are looking for, as far as the lens correction goes.

And in fact that is exactly what they do. But your question and what you want to do have nothing to do with that or any lenses profile. IIRC, it was back in Vs. 4 (P.V. 2012) that the new CA Correction and Fringe Correction became separate and independent tools that were no longer part of the profiled lens corrections and functioned without regard for whether the profile was applied or not. Profiles now control only Vignetting and Distortion.

CA and Fringe corrections cannot be tied to one particular lens.

That is a helpful read
