![]() ![]() I’m not sure if we want to do both of these at, you know, in both software, you should be able to do one or the other, or probably PhotoLab will give you a better option to use all of these at the same time, versus doing one and one app and then doing something else and another app depending on what you need to do. ![]() Now we could do that in PureRAW with the other review I did previously. So it says it can fix barrel, pin cushion, and fisheye distortion. So you can see the horizon is curved or warped there. So this will fix, or it says Cheap optics can look pro once processed with our award-winning optical correction tools.Īll right, we have some warping going on from the wide-angle lens. We’re going to take a quick look at other options. So I’m not sure exactly what we’ll get or be able to do on ViewPoint. Now, I’m going over this because I’ve never watched any video tutorials on how to use ViewPoint or read any blog posts. So if you need to expand the curves of an architectural setting like this, then we have different grid options. So that’s like the mesh tool, I think, in Photoshop. You can also reshape your images with a warping tool. We have this tool in Lightroom, so we’ll see if we get similar or better results. So we’re going to figure that out together because I’ve never used ViewPoint before, so we’re going to check it out for the first time together.Īll right, so continuing on to get the perfect angle.Įvery time can be used as a standalone app or with Photoshop or Lightroom. Is it going to be more accessible, or is it more complex?īecause if we look at their website here, we have a screenshot of their ViewPoint app, and there are a lot more sliders and things to do, which means there is a more significant learning curve for using ViewPoint. Or is it going to gimme the same results? Is that something that ViewPoint will be able to avoid creating this gap here? I did that purposefully because I wanted to start from that corner so that it flows into the image this way, but now I have a gap. We have a gap up here versus where I initially started the pier in the top left corner. This was a 20mm lens, and this is the Bra Brant Straight Pier in Burlington, Ontario.Īnd then, with Transform, I could straighten out those columns, but it affected the composition. The columns are leaning to the left, and that’s due to the wide-angle lens that I used. Let’s take a look at the before and after this way. And you can see I’ve applied some edits here. Before we get into that, let’s take a quick look at what ViewPoint does or what DXO says it can do.Īll right, so ViewPoint gives you complete control over lines, angles, and shapes, adjusts perspectives and fixed distortions, “warp” specific areas, and corrects wide-angle stretching for perfect images.Īll right, we have a tool in Adobe Lightroom that allows us to do these types of geometric adjustments, and it’s called Transform.Īnd if we take a look at this image here, let’s go ahead and go inside.Īnd there it is Transform. So we have access to all of these folders here. This reminds me of the Adobe Bridge app, which comes with Photoshop. We’re going to take a couple of images and see how easy it is to use ViewPoint and whether or not it does what it says it will do, which is, let’s take a look here.Īll right, update-new update. Now that I have ViewPoint installed, I need to activate it. And then I’m just going to follow these instructions. So the first thing I need to do because I’ve never used or touched DXO ViewPoint, is install it.Īnd just like any other software, we’ll double-click on the app here or the file I downloaded. Otherwise, you might need clarification about what’s happening if you don’t watch it. It’s a two-minute video that will give you more information about the format of these DXO reviews. In that case, I recommend checking out this video first. Suppose you’re unfamiliar with the format of these initial video reviews I’m touching for the first time. Today I’m doing my initial review of DXOs ViewPoint.
