Chapter 23 ■ Lens Distortion Correction 253
Description
LensFix CI is an automatic image correction package that contains a database of correction
settings for over 500 popular cameras and lenses. In manual mode, it also allows
you to fix chromatic aberrations and vignetting, and to alter the image perspective. It
is available as both a stand-alone program for use with Adobe Lightroom and Apple’s
Aperture and as a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop.
Perspective controls allow you to change the viewing angle of the image with ease. Its
extensive range of camera settings is supplemented by those in the PTLens database
from epaperpress.com, which is supplied under license. Being a universal binary, LensFix
CI runs natively on Power PC and Intel Macs.
Comments
Described as “simple but powerful” by one reviewer on the Mac community Website
MacUpdate, LensFix CI is an improved version of the earlier LensFix software. It has
been widely tested and enjoyed by many enthusiasts, who report good results from it.
It is fast, as it uses the video card for processing when supported by the host computer,
and the plug-in version has full 16-bit support. Since LensFix was first introduced a few
years ago, distortion correction has become commonplace, but the software is still
useful if you need to make a lot of corrections on images taken by the camera/lens combinations
held in the databases supplied with it.
