NIKON Camera and Lenses

[Tex4aviation]

I am working on some 56 architectural pictures and I loose a lot of time with perspective corrections. It would make the process easier if I could just delete all the cameras and lenses I don't have, or configure the software to only show my lenses ?

Well you can if you don't mind an unorthodox approach
Go to 
C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Resources
Find lens-correction-data.dat rename e.g. lens-correction-dataOLD.dat

Copy required .xml files to C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Photo\1.0\LensProfiles

Restart Photo, tada

Entirely unguaranteed, use at your own risk but it works on Windows 10

if any mod. sees this please don't tell the devs. what I done

The lens profiles are available here https://github.com/lensfun/lensfun/tree/master/data/db

Not sure what hardware you're using, but on the Mac version when you select the lens you can 'favourite' a lens and show only recent or favourite lenses if that helps.

That’s the location on your Windows PC but it’s different on a Mac. Here’s the URL of the online version of that page:

The lens panel help topic omits any mention of the All/Recent/Favorites/Detected function in the dropdown below the "Lens Correction" text.

However, there is an online Lens Correction help topic that does mention this feature & explains how to mark a lens as a favorite.

That'll be my fault for using the copy link button at the bottom of the (lens correction) page instead of copying the link from the previous (lens panel) page. Weird or what?

For the online help topics I have noticed that the 'copy' button copies a link to the first topic selected, even if I then use one of the other links in that topic to open one of the other linked topics.

So my guess is you first opened the "Lens panel (Develop Persona only)" help topic & then in the "Available Adjustments:" section you clicked on the Lens Correction link. If it works for you like it does for me, that copies the wrong link to the clipboard.

Yep except that I use help locally with Chrome, it's such a waste of electrons using online help. I suspect that the poor linking is because of the use of <iframe>s but rather than delving into the html I am going to open another beer
