I thought I had created a lens correction profile to use on import in Lightroom 4, but I've just noticed that they are all screwed up. So here's what I've done. What am i doing wrong?
1) I go to a .DNG image and click "Reset" in the Develop module.
2) I go to LensCorrections. Under Color, I check "Remove Chromatic Aberration"
3) Under Presets, I choose Setup "Auto"
4) I choose Lens Profile "Pentax". ** At this point, the correct lens is picked by Lightroom**
Up to here, everything is fine. I then save this as a new Preset.
Now I apply this preset to a .DNG image taken with a different lens. Lens Make profile then goes to "None".
So, I try something else:
1) I go to a different .DNG image. Again, I remove chromatic aberration.
2) This time, under presets, I choose setup "Custom".
3) I choose Lens Profile "Pentax". ** At this point, the correct lens is picked up by Lightroom**
Again, up to here, everything is fine. I then save this as a new preset.
Now I apply this present to a .DNG image taken with a different lens. The lens profile goes back to the profile for the lens I had used to set up the profile in the first place.
I've been going round and round with this for awhile, trying different combinations of keystrokes, etc. I want a Preset I can use at import that will detect which lens I have used and then apply the proper correction. I know I must be making some stupid mistake but.... aaarghh!!
Thanks in advance.
