I just went back to a series of prints that I shot with the kit lens back in August. Turned on profile/correction for all of them and was surprised to see the edges brighten up (didn't notice vignetting before, but I guess it was there) and the field flattening out a bit (hadn't noticed the distortion, either). So... there is SOME correction going on there - but nothing too severe. Nice to have that in there for the rare times I use the 18-55! BTW - is there any way to highlight a group of shots and turn on the lens profile correction for all of them "en masse"? -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
