Lens Corrector PRO
Vendor: Richard Rosenman
Purpose: Lens distortion correction
Description
Lens Corrector PRO is a versatile lens correction plug-in that not only corrects common
lens distortions such as barrel and pincushion effects, but also can scale, skew, taper,
shift, flip, and rotate an image and make precise perspective adjustments.
Comments
With excellent lens correction facilities in Photoshop and being overshadowed by specialist
package DxO Optics Pro, Lens Corrector PRO has never obtained a large market
share. Yet it has many facilities; users have commented favorably on it in forums. There
were a mass of improvements in version 1.1, including automatic fitting of corrected
images to window size; sub-pixel filtering for sharper rendering; new presets for common
camera lenses and their correction settings; image rotation; and horizontal and vertical
precision image scaling, shearing, curved tapering, perspective adjustment, and shifting.
