In DPP there is an Option called Lens tune in the noise menu, What does it do?


If you guys need a screen shot I can post one when I get back from dinner.

    Do you mean lens aberration correction?

    It isn't a bad addition to DPP. The latest version also has highlight and shadow fix sliders added.

    Canon lenses that are hard-programmed in the DPP software can have chromatic abberation, barrel and pincushion correction, and light fall off correction with that tool. Non-Canon lenses and Canon lenses not yet on the list cannot be corrected and the tool will be greyed out if that's the case. The list of lenses that can be corrected is in the PDF instructions. Those lenses roughly correlate to the in-camera fixes in the latest Canon bodies.

    For a more comprehensive tool, and one that includes not only Canon lenses, but most all popular lenses for most camera bodies (plus point and shoots), you can use the popular PTLens plug-in for Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro, etc.

    David,

    thanks for pointing out PTLens. I was unaware of it.

    The only one of these tools in DPP I use consistently is CA.

    I did begin to do the lens adjustment as a matter of course, but then found that it softened the image very unacceptably. So, warning about that!
