Thhanks.

In the beta version, my settings are exactly the same as what you attached. In the older production version I am using, the option is on to make the lens correction or not.

Gabe, Thanks. This has been an ongoing problem. I am using version 1.7.1.404. It still recognizes both lenses. The newer production version does not. The recent beta versions have recognized the older lens but not the newer one. However, the lens does appear in the pull-down list and can be applied that way. Let me know if I can be of further help. --Randy Williams

Gabe, Here are two files. The CR2 file is with the 18-250 lens and the CR3 file is with the 18-300 lens. Anita and Randy at the Top 01.CR2 Church_Door_01.CR2

I just checked with my older Sigma 18-250 lens and it is correctly and automatically identified.

I suspect this is also similar to the identification of the Tamron lenses. Attached is a screen capture of the metadata captured and the lens adjustment in develop persona. As you can see, the lens is identified in the metadata but is not selected in the lens correction section. One can manually search and add the lens identification and by creating a favorite the search is less difficult. An older version of Photo did the identification correctly and automatically.

Patrick, Thanks. All of you have been most helpful. --Randy

Chris, Thanks. I will also take Patrick's links and follow them. I had been thinking that the links would be something I could find on my own but Patrick made it easy for me. --Randy

Chris, Yes, you are correct. I just want to know how to make sure that this doesn't happen again. Is the best way to monitor the forum and look for the announcement of what is changed in each version? --Randy

Chris, Thanks much. This worked. I had to go digging to find my product key but that was not too hard. Will you notify me when I can go to the next version without losing my lens corrections in the develop person? --Randy

Chris, Thanks. I tied this the other day and it failed. I just tried and it failed again. Here is a screen shot. Do I need to uninstall version 1.7.2 first? --Randy

Lee, I realized this morning that I had the same "old" version of Affinity Photo (1.1.1.404) on my travel tablet. I brought up one of the CR2 images from the Ireland trip that used the Sigma 18-300 lens. I did a screen capture of the develop persona that shows the lens being identified in both places and the lens corrections being applied. If the lens can't be added to version 1.7.2, I would be perfectly happy to back to the version of 1.7.1.404 that works. Thanks. --Randy

Lee, Thanks so much for your prompt reply. As a company, you have been extremely responsive to all of my requests for support from the days of the Serif photo programs on. I did not add any lens data. As a matter of fact, I was pleasantly surprised and pleased that my favorite walk-around lens magically appeared when I installed version 1.7.1. It makes my pictures look so much better. Here is a link to a folder that contains two files: 1. An older file with a different Sigma lens that is recognized by version 1.7.2 2. A recent file, the same one in my example that would have been recognized in version 1.7.1 but is not in version 1.7.2. https://1drv.ms/f/s!AoSjLwroAG_-g8xAxKDFh52LIV4cig I hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of further debugging assistance. --Randy

I just upgraded from version 1.7.1 to version 1.7.2 and my lens is no longer listed on the lens profile when I enter the develop mode. It did get listed in version 1.7.1. This is in the lens correction panel. The information listed at the top with the camera make and model and the lens make and model are correct. I tried to go back to version 1.7.1 and the install failed. I would like to have a version that supports my lens. What can I do? Thanks.

I have been using PhotoStack as a cataloging tool. I was wondering if there are any plans to replace it with something in the Affinity line of products. Thanks.
