It's Affinity, I ran into this a few months back too. It's possible to create a Lensfun profile for your drone's camera, there's a couple of tutorials here. You can then update the Lensfun database Affinity uses. Alternatively, if you have access to a Mac or iPad Affinity can use the Apple...

Do the Air 2S DNG files contain an embedded lens profile like the Mini 2 does? I really wish companies would just use the profiles included in the files, that's what it's there for, instead of coming up with custom profiles of their own that may or may not correct the image properly.

I'm using a Mini 2 that has lens distortion like all the other DJI drones :) The DNG files have a lens profile in them and if the software uses it, it fixes up the images perfectly. Sadly as I found, most don't use it and reluctantly found myself paying for Photoshop and Lightroom. I'm always...

Thanks @vindibona1 just gave the trial of Capture One Pro a whirl. Out the box is managed to deal with the lens distortion well (as have others I tried that used the Apple Core Image RAW engine vs their own implementation) but left vignetting on the image and failed to deal with hot pixels...

FYI I looked at this a few weeks ago, at the time it ignored the lens profile in the DNG which means without manual correction your pictures have lens distortion and possibly vignetting. I was able to get Mini 2 images looking OK at a setting of -30 but Lightroom uses the files inbuilt lens...

Youtube's secure in my view. Your account: Very secure, set up 2 factor auth and it's unlikely your account will be compromised during it's life. Video privacy: Unlisted videos are accessible to anyone with the link, if you're not filming anything extremely sensitive and trust the people you're...

Is there any reason why you don't want to use Youtube? After I'm done editing a video I upload it to Youtube and set the sharing permissions to 'Unlisted' which stops it showing up in searches or on my profile but allows me to send a link to people to see it. This allows for hosting 4K videos...

Had a quick look at this in regards to lens distortion and hot pixel removal with pictures from a Mini 2. Lens distortion: The lens profile included in the DNG file appears to be ignored and the app doesn't have a built-in profile it can use. This leaves distortion and potentially some...

Yeah, it took me a moment to get my head round how it operates (I was used to developing DNGs in Affinity Photo at that point) but it’s super easy to get good looking pictures from it. Little bit torn between using CC vs Classic but seeing as a photographer friend using Classic just lost a few...

I've just been talking about Polarr in the Mini 2 area. After years of using Affinity Photo I ended up subscribing to the Lightroom/Photoshop package shortly after getting my Mini 2. I'd never used DNG files before so after I was made aware of lens profiles and distortion I started exploring...

Just finished up with Polarr. Web version: Edits the DNG preview file so unusable for DNG (happy to be corrected if I've missed something here) MacOS version: Loads up the actual DNG file fine. Appears to be using the in-built lens profile via the Apple RAW engine so distortion-wise it looks...

After years of using Affinity Photo I gave in and subscribed to Lightroom after buying my Mini 2. I never needed to process DNGs before and after seeing a post on the DJI forums about lens distortion I ended up down a rabbit hole of lens profiles, open source databases and more. Affinity Photo...

I went with DJI Care Refresh to cover accidents which damage the drone and a yearly membership to FPVUK to cover public liability (it provides £5 million cover). For me the combination of the 2 is the simplest way to be covered and I think you’ll struggle to find something more cost effective...
