Accidental "tunnel vision" effect
Answered
Hi,
I am VERY new to Luminar 4 as I just downloaded the trial version yesterday but I must say so far I am loving it! However, I have done something and I cannot figure out how I did it or how to undo it. That is, I've created for lack of a better term, a tunnel vision effect on many of my images. Can someone please tell me what I did and how to undo it?
Thanks!
David

Take a look in the history for this picture (right-lower position, clock icon). May be it can help.
A possibility can be in the Lens & Geometry menu, the Lens distortion slider, but it should not create the black vignette. The Vignette menu can create this effect, but I think it is not so strong ...
I would try to move the Lens distortion slider and see if it helps.
Is your picture a RAW file?. Maybe the program has not automated correction for your camera yet..

Thanks Jose!
I couldn't remove it using either Lens Distortion or Vignette menus. The history panel doesn't show anything other than sky augmentation and replacements.
This seemed to occur on quite a few images by simply hovering over the AI Image Enhancer look near the bottom left. I saw it happen several times and I was sure I didn't click on anything.
The image is a RAW file from a Sony RX100 Mk VII. I have opened quite a few RAW files from this camera in Luminar but only some of them were affected this way.
Here's a screenshot of the history panel. Clicking "Original" at the top right of the history menu removed the sky replacements and augmentation, but that's it.

here are two jpgs exported from the same RAW file. The first from Luminar and the second from Lightroom. Both were taken at the widest lens setting and there are no enhancements applied to either. Now that I see them side by side I can tell that if the Luminar one was cropped to the same aspect ratio as the LR one, they'd be approximately the same. Is there a way to have Luminar automatically correct for this?
Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I'm new to photography as well as Luminar.

Hi guys,
The thing is that Luminar 4 uses a pure RAW converter. It shows more information than any other photo processor. These black angles shown on the RAW photo appear due to the optic peculiarity of the lens structure.
There are Lens and Perspective Correction tools in Canvas Tab > Lens and Geometry, so you can fix your photo manually. The only reason you do not see these black angles in Photoshop or Lightroom is due to the automatic Lens Correction.

After looking through the support forum it appears this issue has been going on for quite some time. Ticking the auto lens correction box helps, but it doesn't always solve the problem completely. And while the software is reasonably priced I am hesitant to purchase it given this issue. Can you say this is something that is currently being addressed? And is htere a fix in the near future?
If this problem was solved I would purchase this immediately but I just don't know if I can justify it while this problem persists.
Thank you.
