HDR Merge with DNG files does not apply lense corrections

[dligocki]

Affinity Photo Windows Desktop v1.7.1.404
 

When using the 'New HDR Merge...' function, DNG image lense corrections are not applied during file load/merge process. 

Reproduce:

1. File > New HDR Merge...
2. Click Add, select 2 or more DNG files
3. Click Ok
4. HDR image will not have lense correction applied(hdr_lense_missing.JPG) when compared to single DNG image opened using the standard File > Open

Hi @dligocki,

Welcome to the forums. 

HDR merge has got a simplified pipeline and will not access the full RAW engine. This is the correct and expected behavior. We always recommend processing your RAW files before any other operations. 

Thanks,

Gabe.
