Based on Helmut Dersch's Panorama Tools, these plug-ins can simply be described as versitile, accurate and powerful. The plug-ins, which cost US$39.95 for the set of five, include:
- LensFix for fixing barrel, pincushion and "mustache" or eyebrow distortions, vignetting and chromatic aberrations. LensFix includes loadable databases of correction presets for many popular cameras and lenses.
- Adjust: for extracting or inserting corrected images to and from panoramas
- Correct: original interface for lens correction. Includes cut frame and fourier filter options
- Perspective: for changing the viewing angle of an image
- Remap: for converting panorama types including normal, cylindrical QTVR, spherical, fisheye and convex mirror. Barrel and pincushion distortions found in many lenses can be corrected using the radial shift filter that can adjust the red, green and blue channels separately if you wish. What's more, the light fall off that commonly occurs near the edges of wide angle lenses can be corrected with the radial luminance filter.
What's new in this version:
- Improved vignetting correction method in LensFix.
- More reliable Photoshop actions - you may need to update your Photoshop actions.
- Update to PanoTools.bundle to version 2.7KK24.
