Hi
I often read about how Lr has lens tables that correct for know distortions like chromatic aberration. How does Aperture stand on this matter?
TIA

How do handle lens-specific distortions like chromatic aberration?

Mark,
I’ve never played with Lr’s lens correction features, so I’m partially talking out of my posterior here, however my understanding is that it’s for distortion of the image that you’d get from a really wide lens, for example. Chromatic aberration is different; that’s the color fringing you get from less-than-perfect lenses. In Aperture, there is a CA adjustment tool that can do a stellar job in removing the colored fringing you’ll find in some images. Check out Live Training 016 for a video on how it works in Aperture.

Aperture doesn’t do this natively. You have to use a plug-in like PTLens. A fully rendered RGB file will be created, sent to PTLens where PTLens does it’s magic in a pop-up window so you can make adjustments, and when done the edited RGB file shows up in your Library. If you make any changes to the raw file, you will have to round-trip it again through PTLens to create a new RGB (TIFF) file.
We all have hopes for an Aperture 4 release and that it will include this feature.
