When will we have Lens Cast Calibration in Lightroom

Hi,
I do postproduction all the time for a couple of other photographers. They send me the raws and I develop them. My favourite tool to do this is Lightroom, especially since the quality improvement in version 3.
However, I often work on architecture shots that were done with a digital back on a technical camera (TC), mainly PhaseOne and Hasselblad backs. All these backs suffer heavily from colour casts when used with wide-angle lenses on TC's, due to the strong inclination of the lightrays on the sensor.
These images have to be developed in the raw software of the respective brand, CaptureOne for the Phase backs, and Phocus for the Hasselblads.
Both have a special function to analyse the cast of a separate image which has to be shot each time with a translucent white cap on the lens.
These casts are then perfectly filtered out, and one can carry on with the rest of the development of the raw file. But this has to be done within Capture1 or Phocus, 'cause you can't export a DNG with the lens cast corrected. You can of course export a Tiff to Lightroom, but then you loose the whole dynamic range of the raw.
It's this feature that I'm really missing in Lightroom. I prefer using Lightroom, because I use  the local adjustment (gradients and brushes) all the time.
None of this is possible in CaptureOne or Phocus, a shame really. I wrote to the developers of CaptureOne to ask for local adjustments and it took me 6 mails before the good man understood what I was talking about. Don't they look at Lightroom?
So Adobe developers, if you could add Lens Cast Correction (or Scene Calibration as it is called in Hasselblad's Phocus), you have the best RAW program in the world, and I can finally dish all these other brand-infected stuff from my hard disk.

What about this
Scenario
Take 2 images, from as close a standpoint, ie with camera on the tripod etc.
1 is the original image,
2 is the one through the white lens cap.
You now have the colour cast from centre to corners in the capped image as a reference to work from.
All that needs to be done - I guess in photoshop - is to remove the colour as referenced by the capped image from the shot.
Simple in photoshop - like everything is - a plugin / mask / reverse biased logarithmic flip flop or what ever.
The process in lightroom would most definitely be a develop setting - where one image would be the reference and this could then be applied to one or a selection or all the images.
As Ssprengel remarked, this is specalised and probably many people would not need it. Then many people did not want the lens correction, and the number of posts and discussions about that are rising most days.
Rob, one for your sleepless nights
subtracting  R,G,B on a  pixel by pixel basis from an image, very very simple to do surely....  I'm sure Pixelbound would be impressed, and another notch on your  bedpost of plugins for lightroom.

    When will Apple have a searchable text reader and upload file capability? I have a large text file I need to upload to my iPhone, search, and dial.
    Anything planned?

    I had a Palm the I used for work and travel it had a very nice application called DOCUMENTS TO GO. It allowed you to upload, view, and edit .doc, .xls, and .ppt files. this was very handy when traveling. Also, I could sync my palm with my iMac and work PC using bluetooth, took care of the file transfers as well. I would like to have the same capability on my iPhone. I bought it to replace all of my old stuff i need it to the same as my old stuff. I hope that Apple reads this and gets on the ball. Until then I still have to carry my Palm or thumb drive on trips.

    Me TV is most often a sub-channel (secondary or tertiary channel) from local broadcast TV stations that may or may not elect to offer them over the air and-or offer them to Comcast to have available on cable.
    There is not currently a broadcast station in your area that offers Me TV.

  • When will iTunes have a Ukraine store?

    When will iTunes have a Ukraine store?

    The following must be said in relation to this discussion ...
    Ukraine is a modern European country of more than 45 million people.  Ukraine is an independent state with its own unique language and culture.  Since breaking free from the evil Soviet Union, Ukrainian society has taken major steps to rid itself of the stagnant Soviet model which included Russified linguistic, cultural, economic, social, media, and political tendencies. Ukrainians should not have to depend on Apple in Russia or Poland, or any other neighbouring country to fully enjoy Apple products.
    Apple Inc. can start by fully enabling APPLE.UA as the official site for Apple in Ukraine - oh, and please make sure the website is presented in the official language of Ukraine - UKRAINIAN !!!

  • When will we  have IOS6.0 for IPDA one?

    When will we  have IOS6.0 for IPDA one?

    Apple stopped selling the iPad 1 two and a half years ago.  Your iPad 1 can still do all the things it could do back then.  It is not capable of running iOS 6 since it does not have some of the chips in that iOS 6 requires.  There's nothing anyone can do about it.  If you find this unacceptable, please contact Apple.  There's no point posting about it here: nobody from Apple has any responsibility for reading these groups.  We are just users of Apple devices helping each-other solve technical problems.
    If your needs have changed in the last 2.5 years, then you will have to buy a new device.  If your needs are still the same as they were 2.5 years ago, then your iPad should still be doing the same things it did back then.
    I trust that this answers the question you have about your iPad.  If you need help with a technical on a different subject but still related to "iPad in Business and Education", please do not hesitate to post it.
