Retested DPL6.8, this time on macOS Monterey on iMac 2019:
Crop and Distortion parameters are different in the preset and the sidecar. Nevertheless, they both act correctly…and I suppose that it’s caused by the sidecar having a “Base” and “Overrides” section while the preset has the “Base” only. If we look at one section only, we get a wrong idea (well I did) about how DPL works. I extracted the respective parts of the sidecar for illustration:
BASE (from “no Correction” preset)
CropActive = false,
CropAuto = true,
CropRatio = 0,
CropRect = {
0,
0,
1,
1,
},
DistortionActive = false,
DistortionAnamorphosisKeepEntireImage = false,
DistortionFocus = 128,
DistortionIntensity = 0,
DistortionKeepRatio = false,
DistortionType = "Auto",
DistortionTypeAuto = true,
OVERRIDES (from what I set in DPL)
CropActive = true,
CropAuto = false,
CropRatio = -1,
DistortionActive = true,
DistortionAnamorphosisKeepEntireImage = true,
