The PTLens folks then make up profiles for your camera and then publish them so that everyone who has the same make, model, and lenses will also have profiles. There are already profiles for most any camera you’re likely to have if it’s more than a few months old because the publisher offers to make profiles for any camera for which the user will send them prescribed test shots. I'll quote here from the comma-phobic O'Reilly Inside Lightroom blog: PTLens performs a function many (read: me) were hoping to see built-in to Lightroom 2.0 the automated removal of lens distortion, with the additional option of perspective correction. It's the first real-world example I've seen that shows how a standalone image-editing application can provide functionality in Lightroom 2.0 identical to that of a plug-in for Aperture. PTLens is a $15 plug-in for Photoshop and Aperture, as well as a standalone application that can be used as an External Editor in Lightroom. PTLens is clearly a must have plugin and the nominal fee is more than just reasonable.We have a winner! And it's been around, but the Google, she only today bequeathed it to me.
We do the remaining perspective correction with the help of our Photoshop CS3 Perspective Crop Helper.Īll I can say is: PTLens welcome to the Mac. The corrections are very good and help to improve your images a lot. Likely the most complete database of its kind. PTLens uses its own database that stores the correction data for many lens/camera combinations. The distortion may look bad but is likely pretty good for a 14mm focal length. In this case we corrected a photo shot with the Olympus 7-14mm (14-28mm effective) lens. We only use it to correct lens distortions. Now we start using it again because it is also available for the Mac (MacIntel and 10.5 Leopard only though). These distortions get stronger with zooms and especially with wide angle zooms. The moment you photograph architecture or structures with straight lines you realize that nearly all lenses show more or less strong distortions (mostly pincushion or barrel). One of them was PTLens ( read our original review) because it worked only on PCs. When we switched at the end of 2005 to MACs there were very few applications or plugins that we missed.
