Adobe Lightroom 3/Camera RAW 6 to have full suite of Lens Corrections

Adobe has posted a video to YouTube showing off the full suite of lens corrections that will be in the final release of Lightroom 3 and CS5′s Camera RAW 6.Thought the demonstration is done in CameraRAW 6 the full set of functionality is supposed to available in Lightroom 3 as well.

To me, profile based corrections and the ability to control vertical and horizontal perspective distortions is huge. No more will have I have to take images into Photoshop just to fix a few minor but annoying distortions. The profile corrections handle geometric distortions, vignetting and CA which makes them a 1 click stop to produce a cleaned up image to start processing form. Even nicer, the profile based corrections can handle lens distortions that are more complicated than simply barrel and pincushion distortions.

Finally perspective corrections are an nice added bonus for fixing up those shots with annoying converging lines. Of course a perspective correction lens would be even better but Lightroom is ~$300 and good PC lens is ~$2400.
