Lens correction tool and RAW upload

[fmateojr]

Hey there, was looking for the lens correction tool in the Develop persona...any hint of when that will be ready?  Also opened a RAW (.ARW on my Sony A77) and it was significantly brighter than the actual photo.

Lens correction is already in the Develop persona in the Lens panel. If you mean auto lens correction then we plan on adding that at a later date.

 

If you could post on the forum or send to support@seriflabs.com one of your Sony A77 photos then we will have a look.

I second auto lens correction :)

I would very much like to see the lens correction funtions outside the Develop persona as well. I use RAW Photo Processor for developing (and that won't change), but I do need distortion correction.

Please do not make auto lens correction the only option--I sometimes need to turn it off, which is one reason I look for alternatives to Adobe.

I almost use the lens correction outside of the develop persona. There is a live filter for that.

 

Best regards

A far simpler solution would be the **functioning** integration of PTLens into AP (i.e. as a plug-in). Maybe the Affinity team should contact Tom Niemann at http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/index.html for more details.

I'd like to see the lens correction go to higher values.  I's can't quite defish a fish eye effect on my 10mm Sigma

Surely you can turn it in Adobe, I know you can in LR.

Traveling Man--no, in ACR lens correction is always on. I switched to DxO because of it. Maybe they saw the light and implemented it at a later date...?

Yes, you are correct. I thought it could be turned off, at least in LR, but the is not the case. That said, I cannot think of a case where I would want to turn it off.

Travelling Man--in my case, I have an enthusiast compact camera (Sony RX100) which by default produces severe barrel distortion. In fact, most "serious compacts" have terrible distortion due to their svelte lens designs. When the lens correction is on in my RAW developing tool, the barrel distortion is fixed, but the quality (sharpness, clarity) suffer greatly, and can't be fully recovered. While it might be ok for the occasional photo, I really want the option to choose which is better for my photographs. For other camera/lens combinations I have, the severity of the distortion is much less, so the lens correction doesn't make as much of a difference in the overall quality. At the time I switched, DxO and CaptureOne were the only pro tools that allowed the lens correction to be turned off.

[Travelling Man]

I don't use a compact but I use ACR via Lightroom. I have the option in the develop module to switch lens profile correction off and to handle same manually.

[Asha]

I'm confused--earlier you said you couldn't turn it off.

[Travelling Man]

Yeah, I know I got confused with something else at the time, sorry . You can turn it off in LR and also in PS CC

[Asha]

I finally got off my lazy butt and opened a DNG in both CS6 and CC2015--I see what you mean. There is both a Lens Correction and a Camera Profile. The Lens Correction is the thing I had trouble with, but it looks like Adobe added the ability to turn it off in the latest versions. It has been so long since I switched to DxO that I didn't even bother to try PS. I'm glad they finally fixed that issue!

 

So, back to AP--I'm saying I don't want Lens Correction to be automatically turned on without some kind of toggle to turn it off!

[Daphen]

When I toggle lens correction in Photo it doesn't actually do anything, I'm still missing data from the corners of my original RAW file, data that is visible in Photoshop when I disable the lens correction. What can I do to ACTUALLY turn the lens correction off?
