Re: Canon R5 help...weird swirls in images

I'd just like to thank everyone for the replies and for the help. Sorry for the time it's taken to respond to this.

It seems this was caused entirely by Adobe Lightroom/ACR, which with lens correction turned on it creates the swirls, but the R5 images seem much noisier in Lightroom or ACR still. Seems to be Adobe software causing the issues.

So, I did some tests in Capture One with the same images and couldn't reproduce it, no matter what lens correction, corrections or edits I did.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you so you all, not only did you guys help fix the problem, but you saved 2 sets of images I'd shot and thought were ruined by the camera and managed to keep my clients happy.

The images when editing are certainly less noisy in Capture One compared to ACR, and certainly no swirls. Looks like I'm moving to Capture One from now on and ditching Adobe (which has been getting clunky for the past couple of years now) I just wish Capture One export was faster on my MacBook Pro.

The R5...I still think is noiser than my 5D IV when it comes to needing to pull detail from shadows in low light, but at least the rings/swirls are sorted out.

Thanks everyone!
