Hi,
It would good if you would please add lens correction profiles for the Sony A57, especially for the Kit Lens and the Sony 50mm f1.8,
as you do have some for the A58 (although it looks like they are for Sony E mount, not A?).

Re: Sony SLT-A57 Lens Profiles
To reveal the lens profiles try this:
Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Corel\Corel AfterShot Pro\supportfiles\Profiles\LensProfiles\profile_sony.txt (This is how win7 64 places it. Location may differ with other OS. Search for the file name to find it. )
MAC users chime in if you can advise on differences.
Save a backup copy of the file somewhere.
Open the file in a text editor like notepad, wordpad or word. You will see a listing for each camera that starts with the words "begin camera." Some are at the beginning others at the end. There is no A57 listing. Add this to the file:
begin camera
group: minoltaSLR
group: genericSLR
multiplier: 1.5
menu_make: Sony
menu_model: a57
exif_make: Sony
exif_model: a57
end
I don't think the location in the list matters as long as there is a blank line above and below and you don't split an existing listing. Do not use a58 or a37 listings as a template. They are wrong (see link below).
This file is protected so you will need administrator privileges to alter it. Be sure save as txt file. If you cannot do this in place, copy it to a non-protected location, edit and save there. Then copy back to original location.
This procedure may not work, but worth a try. See http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=51470 where I solved a similar problem with A99V.
If you mess up you can just reinstall ASP right over existing installation to clean it up.
