#Lightroom ptlens how to#
So for the final prints I fully rely on the software that generates the Jpegs.ĭoes anyone see a chance how to get around this, i.e. My low cost laptop monitor is not calibrated at all. But for the colors I do not see a chance for me. Whereas I think it might be a hard job to derive the values for lens distortion I finally would manage to do this. So none of the open source raw converters (darktable, gimp, rawtherapie, libraw.

It's a great tool! But there is one thing I that really bothers me from the very beginning: The parameter for lens distortion correction and for colour calibration are not publicly available. None of my cameras made me nearly as happy as my Q does today. Good luck, and if you make any new discoveries, I would love to hear of them! And no, I a not affiliated with the makers in any way. There is a trial version that you can try for ten photos. It offers a stand alone tool and photoshop plugin and performs a much better correction than any other tool I have tried, including ACR and DxO.

I found that especially in full summer sunlight, this is well worth it for the Q.Īs far as lens correction is concerned, the by far the best tool I found is PTLens. If other converters offer profiling this way (ACR does too, through the use of Adobe's DNG profile editor, which in itself is an improvement), you could buy an X-Rite color checker or color checker passport and make your own profiles for different lighting conditions. That works great, but it is not easy to achieve an even and usable exposure of the color checker target. I you make a donation to the makers (otherwise it is free), the profiling function is unlocked and you can create your own color profile using a color checker card. This converter does not apply any lens corrections, but it does have a built in color profile for the Q. I prefer Raw Photo Processor (RPP, only for mac) as raw converter. I can give you couple of tips from my own experience. I do not like Adobe raw converter (ACR) at all, lousy color, introduces all kinds of shifts if you are not careful. I see that you have stumbled upon the same issue as I have.
