Ptlens does not include this facility but only automatically corrects for distortions produced by the lens. Which can be strange when people are shot against buildings. The viewpoint correction for very wide lenses does so by plotting to a different Projection (ie distorting the image) which alters the way straight lines are drawn so in most cases introduces curves in their place. You need to check that Dxo have modules for your particular camera and lens as they have rather fewer modules. I've said it before and I'll say it again, PT lens is one of the best investments I've ever made in my photography.PTLens and DXO view point do rather different things I am in no way associated with or sponsored by PT Lens, but Tom Niemann's software offers incredible value at just $25 for a lifetime license which includes constant updates for new lenses. ConclusionĪlthough lens distortion can be corrected manually, you will receive better results in a quicker workflow using PT Lens. This way you have saved not only your distortion corrections but also your general edits which can always be tweaked later. Once finished, save your image back to Lightroom as a PSD or TIFF with layers intact. Although PT Lens can do minor perspective changes, DxO ViewPoint is a significantly more robust program for converging verticals and other perspective irregularities. Ensure your camera + lens information is correct inside PT Lens and press "OK".Īfter lens distortion is fixed in PT Lens I immediately use DxO ViewPoint II for perspective distortion correction. If you already have several layers of edits you'll need to do a Stamp Visible Layer (cmd/ctrl + option/alt + shift + E) to merge all visible layers into a new one that is ready for PT Lens. We want to always perform our adjustments on separate layers as to remain non-destructive while having the option to toggle visibility on/off for a before & after view.
If you have no other edits to perform, go ahead and duplicate your layer (cmd/ctrl + J) and with that new layer selected go to Filters > ePaperPress > PT Lens. Once I have done everything I can in Lightroom I'll bring a photo into photoshop (Lightroom ➡ Photoshop: cmd/ctrl + e) for any advanced retouching and of course distortion correction. To start, process your RAW image and make any global changes in Lightroom (or other RAW editor).
