What's more, ViewPoint let me adjust the strength of the correction, rather than just offering on and off. Lightroom's Vertical choice did a better job than its Auto or Full choice, which drastically distorted the face, but for both of those the face was still cut off. I managed to get the face looking a lot more naturally proportioned, and the subject still fit it in the frame. Using ViewPoint's Anamorphic tool, you choose one of two buttons-one for photos simply stretched side-to-side, and another for those stretched in all the corners. Correcting with Lightroom's Auto option, a face in the corner of a wide shot was cut out of the picture, and the subject's honker actually grew unnaturally longer. While Upright works acceptably for inanimate objects, human features are a different story. I'd had fairly good success with that earlier, but now I pit it side-by-side against the single-missioned ViewPoint. A hand zoom slider and optional grid overlay, as well as side-by-side before/after views complete the set of useful interface tools.Ĭorrecting Volume Anamorphosis I compared ViewPoint's Anamorphosis correction tools with Lightroom's Upright correction, which also attempts to fix geometry problems in photos. A clear full-screen button at top right removes distracting OS borders. Helpful diagrammatic buttons visually portray what each tool does. The large central work area is flanked to the right with a panel offering the program's corrections-Anamorphosis, Keystoning, Horizon, and Crop, along with a loupe. You can drag-and-drop a photo or open it the old fashioned way with a File dialog to start working on a photo. ViewPoint's standalone application window sports the simple, pleasing dark gray user interface found in up-to-date photo apps.
#DXO VIEWPOINT FULL DOWNLOAD INSTALL#
When you install ViewPoint with custom settings, you can choose to install plugins for Photoshop CS3 through CS6 and/or Lightroom.
At 255MB, it's not the smallest program you'll download and install.
#DXO VIEWPOINT FULL DOWNLOAD FOR MAC OS#
Setup and Interface I tried the standalone version on a 3.4GHz quad-core Windows 8 test machine (it's available for Mac OS X, as well). The correct form of the originally 3D subject is changed, and not usually in a pleasing way! ViewPoint also can correct more straightforward perspective problems, for example, if you're pointing the camera up at a building and want the shot to look straight on. The Problems DxO refers to the major issue ViewPoint tries to solve as "volume anamorphosis," which describes what happens to, for example, a head at the side of a wide-angle shot that looks stretched.
