I may go off on a side rant. I'll try not to.

I shoot RAW images almost 100% of the time and I use Lightroom 100% of the time. Given that as background:

My specific question is if "Lens Aberration Correction" applies to RAW images. I guess, there might be three sub-parts to that question for the three sub-settings: peripheral illum corr, distortion corr, and DLO. Do they (if enabled) apply to RAW images?

If they do, then I'm curious what is being done. Is the raw data being altered or do extra EXIF bits get attached to the photo for use later in post?

The second, side question is do folks shooting RAW and using some type of post processing tend to use each of those sub-settings? I know that will be subjective; some will, some won't. I'm interested in your views and reasons.

The rant would be... this type of information should be somewhere "official"... preferably in the manual but I'd be content with an official secondary source like white papers or supplementary documents. I'm always afraid when I say that that someone will come back and say "its right here"... but I've searched and didn't find it. If its out there, please teach me how to fish

Thank you for your time,

Perry

All the manufacturers are now doing lens corrections. I think some lenses are specifically designed to be used with it.

You can turn it off and you can turn it on in Lightroom and I presume DDP.

Greg.

Was about to ask same question

I shoot raw 100% and use only Lightroom, no DPP.

So if setting is on, die MR recognise it or not?
