Hi Adam,

Though primarily developed for tech camera users (Alpa, Cambo, Horseman,
Arca) because you are moving the back to the far limits of the image
circle, it is useful in all formats, especially with wide angle lenses. You
can use this CaptureOne LCC correction process for any raw file that can be
managed by CaptureOne.

I think "Cornerfix" does the same thing specifically for Leica (DNG
files?). https://sites.google.com/site/cornerfix/

Also, I got my physics mixed up on my response. Forgot my Roy G Biv. The
reds and blues separate the most...
Best,
Bob
