I suppose this is a HEIC photo i.e. one taken with a current iPhone/iPad?

You might want to refer to the Duden in this case. Sektion is used in the sense of department, organisational unit and in the sence of autopsy. I agree that the online synonym entry for "Sektion" contains "Abschnitt". That's why I said "awkward", not wrong. Abschnitt is simply clearer, in wider usage and overall better.

Hi, this is not really a bug. But I strongly suggest to change the translation of "section" in the German version to "Abschnitt" (it is "Sektion" now). Though "Sektion" is used in German, it means "department" rather than "section of a document". Cf. Duden re "Sektion". Furthermore "Sektion" also stands for the cutting up of a dead body for medical research (like a medical examiner does). Both meanings are probably not what you want to convey here.

That makes AP quite useless as an extension to Apple's Photos app. Photoshop works like this: On "Edit with PS" in Apple Photos, it converts the HEIC to TIFF which can than be worked with in PS. On closing it there, it write a HEIC again for Apple's Photos app. So you can use PS with HEIC files from Photos in a roundtrip fashion. But you can't with AP.

Interestingly, Photoshop as an extension to Apples Photo converts an HEIC to TIFF before opening it. On saving, it reconverts from TIFF to HEIC. That seems to be a reasonable approach (at least it works for me).

I'm aware that the Beta now (finally) is able to read Apples HEIC format (i.e. photos taken with newer iPhones). However, it seems not to be able to write that format. When I want to save a file opened via the Apple Photo extension in AP beta, it suggests saving it as JPEG. Which makes it useless as an extension, because it would need to replace the original HEIC file. Any plans in amending that in AP 1.7?

@TBolt: The beta has limited support for HEIC: It can read it, but doesn't write it. Which make it not very useful as extension for Apples Photo.

I'm afraid that there is no simple solution to this problem. You might want to hold your lens right at the window when taking a photo. That's what I do in museums, for example. However on a shaking bus? It might not be possible. If you have a real camera (i.e. not a smartphone) you could by a polarisation filter (not sure if that's the name in English). That permits to reduce the reflections, but possibly not completely. In a photo software like AP, AFAIK you have no other options but stamping out the reflection. Tedious.

You might want to rephrase your question in English – chances are a lot better that it gets an answer. And you might also give some more detail, like what SOFTWARE are you talking about, which PLATFORM, WHERE you want to insert the link. Je te conseil de poser la question en Anglais. Il n'y a pas tellement des gens qui parlent Français içi. En plus, tu devrais donner plus de detail: de quel logiciel est-ce que tu parles, sur quel type d'ordinateur etc.

The online list of supported lenses seems to support the G7 Mark II now, but AP does not apply lens correction automatically. What is the problem here?

I'm sometimes baffled by the GUI choices in AP. Examples: - to change the name of a layer, you click on the old name and simply type in the new one. Easy. However, to change the name of a "reserve channel" (not sure about the english term here), you have to right-click on it's name, select "rename" and then you can start typing. Tedious - Even worse is the handling of "apply" and "cancel" in the dialogs for live adjustment layers vs. live filters. To say "apply" with a layer, you click on the "close" icon of the window. I doubt that there is ANY interface guideline anywhere that suggests "close" as a synonym for "apply". Conversely, on the filter dialogs, clicking on the window's close icon closes the window and DOES NOT apply the filter. There is a dedicated "apply" button for that. May be it is just me, but I consider this behaviour very inconsistent and counter-intuitive. Dialogs should have "apply" and "cancel" buttons that perform (or don't) the desired action. - It is not possible to save ALL current settings as defaults. Some are saved, others aren't. Consequently I find myself over and over again setting the same values for some tool. - Notabene, the "show grid" toggle in the perspective tool is always on. Even in the video tutorials, the first step with this filter/tool is always to turn the grid off. Why can't the stupid dialog remember this setting? - Pressing DELete with a layer selected does sometimes delete the layer (as it should). Sometimes it doesn't. - Trying to change the brush size with a shortcut key does not work if the input focus is currently on the hardness of the brush or some other brush setting. Keyboard shortcuts should work regardless of input focus. New features are of course always welcome. But it would be nice if some work could go into the usability, too.

Hi, After reading through some threads in the bugs forum, I learned why there is no automatic lens correction for my Canon Powershot G7 X MarkII - it is not part of the lensfun database. Obviously, since this database has last been updated in 2015. I'd appreciate it if there where other ways to provide for lens correction (direct contact with the lens/camera manufacturer?). Right now, I'd either have to manually correct every single raw image for lens distortion or use the somewhat ugly development software provided by Canon. A better solution would be appreciated.
