Maybe a silly question - if I understand correctly, then a first collection of some lens profile corrections are coming in 1.8? This would be great, although I use more zoom than fixed focus. But very keen on this feature. But there currently is a form of correction in 1.7 - this lists only cameras models. So what's being corrected - the visual geometry for the sensor itself? (I guess the correction effect for lenses could be much larger). Or am I completely mistaken?

Interesting thread for this newbie. I think I get that aphoto has been designed to be usable across multiple apps with performance and/or rich info stored. There's certainly value in this, and I'm not bothered about the size of the aphoto in itself - I would not keep my source/final versions in a proprietary format. But myself am more interested in auto-sync photo editing between ios and Mac, i.e. an alternate to the LR/PS cloud offering. I think the aphoto format seems too large for cloud upload speed and storage...maybe it's not too bad if I have to save to a tiff earlier on, but anything that help streamline that workflow would go a long way. I think this is a market area that some vendors will try to jump into...Affinity is already there with a great app on the iPad, but I think the weaker point there is the workflow and ease of integration/use of (non-iCloud) cloud storage.
