Lens Correction App

[Stu]

I'm aware that you can do ANYTHING with PhotoShop...its just that I dont know how to do a lot and so I tend to use 3rd party apps to do specific things.
And so..I found PT Lens....probably more useful for the DSLR shooters out there [you can specify your body and lens...or it possibly picks up your exif data] but very quick for correcting perspective distortions with SU/Twilight output.
http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/ $25 as a stand-alone or PS plug-in

I hear you Stu. There is so much that the CS packages can do that most people will never figure out. Just curious though, wouldn't rendering a 2 pt perspective fix this, or does Twilight turn it back into a perspective view?

Twilight Renders 2-point perspectives from SU just fine. But if, after switching on the 2-point perspective feature in SU, one then pans the camera, Twilight will still render only the original view, not the panned image.

Thanks for the tip, Stu! I'm sure others without Photoshop skills will like it.

in Photoshop CSx, this feature is found in "Filter>Distort>Lens".

There is also a very handy (stand alone) freeware program shiftN by Marcus Hebel.
It has a 'fully automatic correction' button, wich in most cases is enough, altough manual correction is also possible.
Do a google search with : shiftN.
