@Tord , similar feature requests have been around for quite a while. Some of the requests are for specific lens models, others are for more general ideas like manual selection of modules.
DxO creates modules for specific body-lens combinations. Making PhotoLab choose a different module does work, but it can lead to the following issues
colour shifts
inadequate precision of optical corrections.
DxO strongly dedicates its software to precision … and selecting “wrong” modules contradicts that very mission. I’d therefore be surprised if we saw manual selection of modules in the next releases.
Nevertheless, DxO could be more open-minded to manual selection of modules, the consequences of which could be handled in different ways, e.g.
pop up a warning about reduced precision (could be a first step)
include in the software, the algorithm to mathematically fit any tested lens to any tested body (could be done as a separate “module creator” app)
other (I trust DxO to be able to come up with a solution)
SyberSitizen, the guy who did this is often on DPreview’s site, and did so very successfully:
But hacking each file is not something I like to do, so I thought you easily could include this trick, as it doesn’t seem to be very complex to do! I have both lenses, and been photo-editing since the early '90s, and owned an SLR camera since the '60s!
Hello Tord, Can you please provide sample images to analyse this problem? Upload Raw + Jpg here - http://upload.dxo.com and let me know when ready. Please clarify which lens you are using and the change in Exif you are exactly doing. Thank you !
Yes. These two lenses have totally different optical designs and even if some exiftool editing might trick PL to parse the camera and lens combination - the result will not be beneficial.
