[BUG] ASP 3.0 Lens correction db is buggy - and workaround

[_andreas_]

Today I bought the ASP 3.0 update. I am not sure to be happy about
I found some stupid typos in the lens profile, which costs me tree hours of my life to find out and fix.
May be Corel has no quality inspection...

Lens correction for the Sony RX100M4, as I mention here, does not work any longer.
lens-cameras-db.xml and lens-db.xml are now xml-files instead of txt-files in ASP 2.0.

lens-cameras-db.xml maps the Sony RX100M2, RX100M3 and RX100M4 to the -wrong!- Sony R1 Lens profile!
lens-db.xml contains only one profile for the RX100 and no profiles für RX100M2, RX100M3 and RX100M4.

Workaround:

add a RX100M4 Profile in lens-db.xml

Code: Select all

<Lens raw="true" skip="false">
  <Model>Standard</Model>
  <Mount>sonyRX100m4</Mount>
  <FocalLength max="25.7" min="8.8"/>
  <Aperture>0</Aperture>
  <CropMultiplier>2.7</CropMultiplier>
  <Converter factor="1" detected="false"/>
  <CorrectionCoefficients>
   <RadialDistortion focal="8.8"  a="0.02266" b="-0.09581" c="0.00190"/>
   <RadialDistortion focal="10.9" a="0.02376" b="-0.09457" c="0.03217"/>
   <RadialDistortion focal="13.0" a="0.02326" b="-0.08674" c="0.04569"/>
   <RadialDistortion focal="14.7" a="0.02340" b="-0.08395" c="0.04970"/>
   <RadialDistortion focal="16.6" a="0.02045" b="-0.06253" c="0.02684"/>
   <RadialDistortion focal="20.0" a="0.02295" b="-0.06814" c="0.05127"/>
   <RadialDistortion focal="25.7" a="0.02377" b="-0.06078" c="0.04156"/>
 </CorrectionCoefficients>
 </Lens>

Map this profile in lens-cameras-db.xml to RX100M4:

Code: Select all

<Camera skip="false">
        <Maker>SONY</Maker>
        <Model>DSC-RX100M4</Model>
        <CropMultiplier>2.7</CropMultiplier>
        <Mount>sonyRX100m4</Mount>
    </Camera>

Works properly for my RX100M4.

Be careful while editing these files, one typo in these XML-Files will fail ASP to start! (I tried it! )
Backup both original files before editing!
