Manual selection of lens profiles

[clfry]

I recently purchased a license to Affinity and was really hoping that by now there would be an option to manually select a lens profile from a list for images that do not contain lens info (ie: non-raw)... could I be missing something? This would be extremely useful... in fact crucial, to my workflow, especially for lenses like the Samyang/Rokinon 14mm that has a complex "moustache" distortions that can't be corrected using the manual correction tools...

Hi clfry,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
There's no way to do this in Affinity Photo. I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests & Feedback - Suggestions for Affinity Photo on Desktop section.

To add to this... while trying to find a work around, I opened a RAW file and the distortions were not corrected, even though the lens is in the profile list found here:

Another good argument for the ability to select and apply profiles manually...

I posted something very similar a while ago. I have the same lens, which is supported by the database used, it's just not automatically found and corrected due to the lack of EXIF data. I made the same suggestion a month or so back and feel like it would be a very easy feature to add and would benefit a lot of people!

Yes, please add this functionality!
