For me, the geometric corrections given by VP are a must-have tool. I take a lot of freehand photos of graphic artwork in frames, and I can't always be oriented to get a perfectly rectangular image.

If you have OP/PL and want the VP tools, you have to get a VP license and use the plugin. So, with the base PL, no, you don't have this correction, which is of somewhat limited use anyway (IMHO, YMMV).Īlso: VP only operates on JPEG or TIFF images it does not process raw images. If you have lines that would be straight without the "volume deformation" correction they will probably not be straight afterward, something I think is a problem but might be tweakable by juggling the two corrections a bit. There is a "volume deformation" correction tool that is supposed to fix those distortions, but it is only available with VP3 or PL with the plugin and it does undo some of the barrel or pincushion correction that the lens/camera module applies. Hmm, without the original photo I can't answer much, but I'll try. It did the upright correction well, but the sides of the building were "bulging" a bit, right in the middle.

Is this something addressed in Photolab, to the degree of VP? I did download the trial version and used it to "correct" a picture I took of a building.
One of the issues VP purports to address is when a wide angle lens is used to photograph a group of people, and the people on the extreme edges (right & left) are stretched out to non-normal proportions. One trick that can be used is to keep the sensor or film plane vertical and crop the result to taste, but this won't fix relative size distortions - those can only be done by getting farther away.
View cameras with their tilt, rise, and shift capabilities can often be used to "fix" some of it but at the expense of introducing other changes, as you say.

This issue of perspective distortion often is complained about by those relatively new to wide-angle photography - they don't know how to minimize it in the original photos, or what corrections work and what ones don't. The classic architecture photos with well-defined vanishing points and rectilinear perspective sometimes seem contrived and artificial to me now after years of coping with wide-angle photos. Some perspective distortions can be corrected well by software, others not so much. To a certain extent, I agree, but with reservations. But yeah, you can do stuff like make vertical lines vertical-at the expense of distorting other geometric relationships.
If you mean perspective distortion, that cannot be corrected, and can only be transformed from one type to another-this is a fundamental truth independent of software, go read the section of Ansel Adams' The Camera where he shows the effects of raising the front standard instead of tilting the camera up on the resulting photos of a silo. You can correct images from scanned slides or negatives this way. But yeah, you can do stuff like make vertical lines vertical-at the expense of distorting other geometric relationships.īut what ViewPoint (and Lightroom) will not / cannot do: what do you mean by "wide angle lens distortion correction"? If you mean geometric distortion (typically barrel, sometimes pincushion or more complex forms), then that is not what ViewPoint corrects, that is what the regular program plus an appropriate lens profile corrects.Īctually, VP3 does have all these corrections, manually applied if you want them. Lightroom 6 (and IIRC LR 5) has similar, but maybe not quite as good, adjustments built in.īut what ViewPoint (and Lightroom) will not / cannot do: what do you mean by "wide angle lens distortion correction"?

I don't think DxO PhotoLab Elite-which I have-comes with these capabilities, which is why you still need ViewPoint.

I like it just fine, and got it because I wanted it to integrate fully with DxO Optics Pro (now PhotoLab), which is my raw converter of choice.

If you use VP3, how do you like it? Is it all it's cracked up to be, for geometric correction, and wide angle lens distortion correction? Better than what I would get from DXO photolab Elite, or LR Classic?
