You have to activate it in the lens corrections panel by checking a box. If the lens used for the image is in the database then it will activate. You can then disable it manually. Most positively notable on the DA Ltd 15mm & 21mm. It's almost like getting new & improved lenses.
This is more automated on RAW files (I haven't tested jpegs). If you import tiff or PSD images the tool is clueless about what lens is used even though the exif data is accurately displayed.
Originally posted by WerTicus I wonder if there is a way to make LR automatically select and apply the correct lens to every photo as it imports....
By checking the box the corrections will be automatically applied in the Develop module. That said, I don't recommend applying lens corrections until near the end of your workflow as it slows down LR significantly. LR 3 is already slower than earlier versions, and this compounds matters further unfortunately. Doesn't make it unusable, but when I import a couple thousand images, it does try my patience. On those large jobs, I'll defer lens corrections until the very end and simply paste the settings on everything relevant in grid view.
Still LR is the most efficient and best tool for post processing.
