Hi all,


While editing my photos in Lightroom, I've observed that applying lens profiles in Adobe Lightroom sometimes seems to introduce more distortion.


Example:


Without the lens profile correction:
DSC_7699-HDR-2.jpg


With the lens profile correction:
DSC_7699-HDR.jpg


is this a problem with the lens profile, or is it a shortfall of lens profiles in general, or is it just my eyes, and the "corrected" one actually does look better?


Is any lens profile correction applied in camera only applied to the JPEG version, or is the correction applied even before the RAW file is saved? (in which case, it is pointless applying the lens profile in lightroom, as it would then be "overdone"...)
