Going through the vacation pictures (some 1500+ btw, decided processing CR3's with DPP), this my comment will be about Tokina 11-20 lens, I was swapping that lens in and out with Canon 18-135 so I can compare now.

I am seeing the Tokina is wider and some pictures are distorted depend how I was holding the camera, good I saw on camera backscreen on time, in viewfinder this won't be visible.

Whenever I was leveling the camera to sidewalls the distorsion is less noticeable and the scene is nice wide and with slight crop things can be fixed, but there were occasions I wanted to do "birdview" or "frogview" in example above people heads, both the closer objects (and people as well) and far objects have a great amount of perspective distortion.

Getting back to DPP, I see the (in Canon body) registered Canon lens corrections in pictures editing have the slider active (and doing something with 18mm wide shots) in contrast to non-registered Tokina lens, those sliders are grayed out. This the first thing I don't like in DPP, if I am correct LR have lens distortion correction still working no matter what lens.

Could this "Canon Lens Correction' be tweaked or hacked to take a similar performing Canon lens presets and load with Tokina made pictures?

As far as I know, Canon never provides in-camera lens profiles for 3rd party lenses. And I think it's unhackable.
