Barrel distortion correction?


Recommended Posts

Hello!

I shoot many photos with a Canon Elph 500 HS, a compact with a great 24mm, F2.0 lens.  I use CHDK to enable RAW mode on the camera, which is great except that I then miss out on the camera's barrel distortion correction.  This is one of the reasons I am thinking of purchasing Affinity Photo.

I assume I can use Affinity Photo to correct for this (can I?), but can this somehow be made a near-automatic procedure, or will I have to fiddle around for each and every photo?  Will it be possible to create a lens profile?

A sample photo is attached.

Many thanks.

Hi sky7i, welcome to the forums :)

 

Affinity Photo has Lens Correction but it's not automatic. Also, AFP doesn't yet have Lens Profiles so Lens Correction has to be done manually. I'm sure our devs will improve this part of the app in the future :)

 

Feel free to download our 10 day trial of Affinity Photo to see what's possible: https://affinity.serif.com/photo/
