Luminar 4 lens correction
AnsweredI'm aware there're already several posts regarding lens correction.
But I'd like to share my experience so far:
- applying any "Look" always resets lens correction, IMHO this has to be regarded as severe flaw
- missing feature "always apply lens correction", why such basic feature is missing?
- no way to select lens profile at all (?)
- Sony alpha7 + FE24-105 F4: Lens correction is not as good as in Capture One 12
- Leica D-lux 7: Lens correction looks almost perfect
Best.

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your feedback. Let me please address your comments point by point.
1. If you'd like to preserve lens correction, I recommend you to apply the look on a new adjustment layer or apply the look first and then tweak the lens correction.
2. Luminar 4 uses a pure RAW converter, thus it opens the file as it was taken without any automatic adjustments. You need to perform the lens correction manually.
3-4. This is something that our team will be improving in the future.

Hi
So I came here as I'm interested in a photo editing software package and was curious as to whether it had camera and lens profiles that you can select to fix any distortion.
I'm currently using Corel AfterShot Pro 3 and it seems their lens correction doesn't work as you can see from the attached screenshot. The JPG straight from the camera (I shoot in RAW + JPG) was corrected by the A6400 fine.
My current setup is Sony A6400 and Sony 18-105 F4 OSS lens.

Hi Thomas,
The Auto Correction is for raw photos only and would not have a significant effect on correcting the distortion of this image. Instead, I recommend using the manual sliders toward the bottom of the Lens & Geometry tool that you have selected to correct for vertical and horizontal distortion.

Hi Angela,
Thank you for your reply.
The file in question is a raw file from a Fuji camera (.RAF), see screenshot.
I have since tried converting this to a .dng/.DNG file using the Adobe DNG Converter.
However, Luminar does not seem to like this, as it freezes whenever I try to load the newly converted DNG file :-(
