HI,
I'd be grateful for some advice about available lens correction software.
I am considering purchasing my first mirrorless camera (the Canon R6) along with the 24-240 RF mount lens as my main walkabout lens. Now as I'm sure you know, this lens has had some incredibly contrasting reviews and views. It appears to be a pretty good all round lens (for the price), but with some glaring issues in respect of extreme vignette and chromatic aberration, particularly in the 'wide' angle part of the range of the lens. These can be corrected in camera when creating Jpegs, but prohibitively impact RAW output. One professional reviewer stated that it was a great walkaround lens that he would continue to use, but that he would definitely not recommend the lens to anyone without the ability to use lens correction via software such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom Classic.
Here's my problem. I am an amateur photographer, don't want to spend a fortune, currently only use Photoshop Elements for post edit. and am completely against subscription software. If it was possible I would gladly pay to purchase Photoshop outright, but it's no longer available to purchase outright. Are there any other software packages out there (on a purchase rather than subscription basis) that could deal with lens correction in a similar manner to that of Photoshop and Lightroom.
I'd be very grateful for any advice.
Thanks.
