Using DLO with Lightroom & Photoshop

[Bazsl]

Is there any Canon publication or article or video that describes the recommended workflow for using DLO in DPP with Lightroom and/or ACR? Specifically, I cannot find any definitive information on whether the changes made to a CR2 file by DLO will be visible when I open that CR2 file with Lightroom or ACR. Can anyone point me to any authoritative information about using DLO with Lightroom/ACR? Thanks.

I understand. It is unfortunate that Canon and Adobe cannot find a way to make DLO work seamlessly with ACR so more people can take advantage of it. The way things are now Canon is losing most of the benefit of DLO for Canon users because most of us will not spend the additional time required to Apply DLO then export all of the images as TIFFs then import both the TIFFs and raw files into Lightroom.

If Canon and Adobe could agree in the interface for a DLL that Canon could provide to Adobe which ACR could call to apply the adjustments when the raw file is read both Canon and its users would be benefit because all canon users could realize the benefits of DLO with only one additional step in their workflow and Canon's algorithm would still be their secret..

I fail to see your point. 

Canon's DLO is inferior to what Lightroom offers.  I never found reason to use DLO.  The one time I did try to use it, I didn't like the results.  I had Canon lenses, and so I had no use for the DLO. 

It's either/or.  You either apply specific lens correction on Canon lenses in their database, or you apply a generic lens correction with DLO's single slider.  You cannot use both Canon tools at the same time.  It's one, or the other.

Lightroom has its' own database of lens correction data, which includes Canon lenses and 3rd party lenses.  You can even create your own custom lens correction data file, if you so wished.
