It would be very nice if Adobe would incorporate these corrections into their lens correction profiles.
Hi David,
While I'd agree that that would be nice, I doubt that it would produce optimal results (and I would readily agree that my preferred standands exceed those of normal/average people). The reason is that each, and I mean EACH, lens is a bit unique.
So while adding another step(-up) to 'average' image quality control, I (don't/)wouldn't object if offered as an option.
It would also be very nice if Adobe would offer a feature to move lens corrections off axis, to account for the movements of perspective control lenses. Capture One at least offers this for lens distortion.
I'm just being realistic about this, while I agree (which is easy as a licensed Capture One Pro user looking for ultimate quality and already having those options), it probably/apparently doesn't serve a concern of most LR subscribers. I'm okay with that, that's one of the reasons I abandoned LR, and several other Adobe offerings. While it serves a lot of people, it simply doesn't serve those seeking the best.
As an anecdote, I vividly remember a 'discussion' with a prominent and widely respected National Adobe representative for my country (The Netherlands), when asked when Adobe intended to improve the resampling quality of Photoshop, he said there was nothing wrong with it, period. At roughly the same time, I was investigating opportunities for improvement with people who would later be contracted by Phase One, who did value progress more than short term subscription earnings.
Cheers,
Bart
