We would all be well served to be using more alternatives. So it goes with software and RAW conversion. Long ago I had 2,3 developers ready to go for Tri-X and Plus-X, Ilford, whatever, as the client's and my needs differed from shoot to shoot. Adobe will just slow down if they are the only game in town. No affiliation w/DxO but I really appreciate having someone besides Adobe making tools and want to see them survive as alternative. Visit the DxO to see all their tools and benefits. I have DxO Optics Pro 7.x - would like the distortion control tools available in LR because I get lazy about exiting for a few images to use DxO tools. Wide angle fixup offered very good and you can make some forms of shape change more acceptable. GBP: £69 (Suggested retail price, including VAT)ĭpreview or DxO did well illustrate what these tools do.EUR: 79€ (Suggested retail price, including VAT).Availability and priceĭxO ViewPoint will be available for Windows and Mac during the course of September 2012 in DxO Labs' online store ( and at photo resellers at the following prices: Accessible to allĭxO ViewPoint is available as a standalone application for Mac and Windows, and also as a plugin for Adobe® Photoshop® CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6, and Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 3 and 4. And thanks to its automatic cropping feature, DxO ViewPoint maximizes the field of view for optimal results. Powerful and effectiveĭxO ViewPoint automatically applies corrections while taking into account such shooting parameters as focal length and sensor size, and while respecting the image proportions, for a more natural rendering. Two display modes are available: single image for making corrections with a maximum of accuracy, or side-by-side for manipulating the original image while viewing real-time corrections. A visualization palette and a composition grid allow for precise placement of anchor points for fine-tuning adjustments. The corrections palettes are detachable so as to enable working in multi-screen mode and displaying the full image. Thanks to the software's explicit icons, photographers can readily identify the rights tools for applying their corrections in just a few clicks. A clear and intuitive interfaceĭxO ViewPoint has a workspace composed of a large viewing area along with simple and intuitive toolbars and control palettes. For example, some tools offer the possibility of virtually changing the shooting position of the photographer so as to perfectly align the vertical lines along the edges of the image. DxO ViewPoint eliminates unsightly vanishing points and convergent lines, and corrects the most complex perspective problems without having to resort to expensive shift lenses or to a view camera.Įach of these features comes with advanced controls for fine-tuning settings and for obtaining optimal precision when producing larger prints. Problems with perspective such as keystoning have a big impact on urban, interior, and architectural photography, and are most frequently tied to the photographer's vantage point when shooting the scene. Thanks to its dedicated tool, DxO ViewPoint easily fixes this flaw, automatically restoring the natural proportions to distorted faces and bodies to make them look as normal as those in the center of the image. The deformation of subjects located on the edges of photos is due to the use of wide-angle lenses, and affects numerous situations, particularly social photography (e.g., events, marriages) and photo reportage. Based on DxO Labs' exclusive geometric correction technology, DxO ViewPoint allows photographers to easily and efficiently restore the natural proportions of the subjects in their images as an integral part of their workflow. Septem– DxO Labs announces the upcoming availability in September 2012 of DxO ViewPoint, its new software solution for Mac and Windows entirely dedicated to correcting distorted elements on the edges of photos, and to fixing problems with perspective (such as keystoning).
