Photo distorted when opened with DXO PhotoLab 3 even after disable all presets and lens correction

Hello,

On most hybrid cameras you have some embedded optical correction, like distorsion, you can’t disabled.
When you get the JPG from the camera the correction is then applied. On the RAW image (here your NEF) it depends on the software you use. PhotoLab doesn’t apply the embedded correction, that’s why RAW images have distorsion when you open them in PhotoLab. We don’t add this correction, it’s what your file truely is. To correct the distorsion we prefer to propose a module calibrated fully for the RAW because it’s better to not mix 2 correction and do it at once.
(Embedded correction is not perfect, there is still residual distorsion, that’s why we also propose a module to perfect correction on JPG images even if this time we have to comppose with the embedded one)

For the Nikon Z 50, we add its support but we couldn’t get the Z DX lenses soon enough to add modules for them at same time of Z 50. It was important to support the camera as soon as we could, we will add optical modules for Z DX lenses in February. Modules for other lenses (Z full frame and non Z lenses) are already available.

Marie
