[Develop Persona not automatically making Lens Corrections]

Many thanks for spotting that! Is this something that Serif would fix in the next upgrade of Affinity Photo? How does one bring it to their attention?

 

Cheers

Thanks to all who have replied. Here is a RAW image taken with the Nikon 24-85mm lens - if you are interested the location is Sunderland Docks in North East England,_DSC4298.NEF

This may not matter but in the Development Assistant which RAW Engine are you using? If you switch to the other one, does anything change?

The Develop Assistant sets the RAW Engine to 'Serif Labs' and Default lens profile to 'Auto select'. Sadly changing the RAW Engine to 'Apple (Core Image RAW)' does not make any difference - Affinity still does not apply the lens profile of the Nikon 24-85mm lens.

[Develop Persona not automatically making Lens Corrections]

I use Affinity Photo 1.10.4 on an Apple iMac with 3.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 and using OS Monterey 12.2. The problem described below also happened when I was using OS Big Sur.

One of the lenses I use on my Nikon D750 is a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR.

When opening RAW images on the Develop Persona, Affinity does not automatically apply the lens correction - I have to do it manually. Affinity reads the EXIF data for the lens and knows it is the 24-85mm lens - it just does not automatically apply the lens correction. 

This contrasts with my other Nikon lenses (17-35mm and 70-300mm) where the lens correction is automatically applied to RAW images when they are opened in the Develop Persona.

Is there are fix to this problem?

A sanple RAW file is too large to attach to a thread - shall I sent it tou you by WeTransfer?

Further information:

• the EXIF data for images taken with this lens includes the correct lens information
• I don't have this problem with my other two Nikon lenses

[Lens Profile Issue]

I have a problem when I use a Nikon Nikkor AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 G IF-ED lens with my Nikon D750. When I open the RAW images in Affinity Photo Develop Persona the lens profile does not automatically apply - I have manually select the lens from the list each time. Is this a bug or have I missed some settings?

[STITCHING OF PANORAMAS]

I have just switched to Affinity Photo on my Mac (running OS10.12.5) from an old version of Photoshop CS3 that I transferred from an earlier Mac (running OS 10.6.8).

 

I am generally very happy with Affinity - which is much more stable than CS3.

 

However, in stitching panoramas from multiple photographs I miss the functionality in Photoshop to choose between 'Cylindical' and 'Perspective' modes of stitching - the latter being much more use with architectural shots.

 

Is there any chance of this refinement being built into Affinity's Panorama Persona?
