These corrections are often all the adjustments required. When a file is dropped onto the workspace, performance data from more than 18 years of camera and lens testing is used to apply seamless corrections automatically. It can only be used for editing still images and recognises raw files from most cameras past or current – except those from Fujifilm’s cameras with X-Trans filtration (which many raw processors can’t handle).
