How to add Sony ILCE-6700 Camera + lens corrections in Affinity v1.10.8?

[Patje]

Dear fellow users,

I recently bought myself a new camera and now I cannot see my camera listed in the 'lens corrections' list. I am using Affinity v1.10.8, since I am not using it that often.

Is there a way to add the library of cameras and lenses into Affinity v1?

 

Kind regard,

Patrick

Welcome to the forums @Patje

You cannot add support for extra cameras or lenses to the applications as the support for them is built in to the applications when they are ‘shipped’ and the V1 applications are only updated to keep them running on newer OS versions with no ‘extras’.

Photo 1.10.6 on windows opens files from this camera
If you have missing lenses, try and find them on lensfun, https://github.com/lensfun/lensfun/blob/master/data/db and get the lensdata from there
If they're not there you can try downloading Adobe DNG Converter which has a bunch of lcp files that Photo can use same as xml's

The Adobe DNG Converter app is available for Macs. You can download it at https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/adobe-dng-converter.html.

This is my understanding for V1 windows:
Camera and lens info is contained in C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Resources\lens-correction-data.dat and this can be topped up by entries in
C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Photo\1.0\LensProfiles

mac files will be elsewhere but the LensProfiles folder must exist

Add the attached xml to the LensProfiles folder, restart Photo and the Sony 6700 should be available in the Filters/ Distort/ Lens Correction drop down as well as a silly one at the top. Not that I've ever understood why you need to select a camera if it doesn't have a fixed lens
