5DM3 Lens Aberration Correction vs ACR Lens Correction

[lessmore]

The 5D Mark III has optional built in "Lens Aberration Correction".

My previous workflow with Adobe Camera Raw was to enable the "Lens Correction" feature that automatically matches your Canon lens and corrects for any distortion/vignetting during RAW conversion.

Here is my question. If I enable "Lens Aberration Correction" in the 5D Mark III and also have "Lens Correction" enabled in ACR, will that actually double correct lens issues, thereby causing the photo to be damaged (over corrected)?

Does anyone with a previous camera that has in-camera Lens Aberration Correction have experience with this issue? Thank you.

It's a bit too early to know how this is going to work. But my impression is, if you shoot JPEG, the correction is baked in and shouldn't be redone (unless you feel it needs it). If shooting RAW, the software should read the correction as metadata and apply it under your control (I.e. like a preset amount on the software's sliders). It would then be activated if you had activated it in-camera,and would not be double-dipped.

That's how I would do it if hired to design these things, but again, it's too early to know ow they will actually design these things, potentially for good reasons.
