If you are basing your workflow in Photoshop or Lightroom, it is a bit over the hand to use it.Ĭonclusion: View Point2 is a pleasant surprise. It works with tiff or jpeg files and allows you to save tiff or jpeg format as well. The standalone application has exactly the same functionality as the plugin. As a suggestion, I would like to see some other grid types like Golden Rule of Golden Spiral (already available in Photoshop CC). While cropping, a grid showing the thirds of the image can be displayed, letting you focus at rules of thirds if interested. Other things to add: zooming is nicely available when scrolling the mouse when pressing the Space key or H, the mouse cursor transforms into a hand tool and allows navigation on the image when zoomed in (familiar from Photoshop). Checking “Constrain to image”, force the crop to stay only in the part of image that contains information, keeping out the black areas generated during the perspective corrections. In both cases various aspect ratios are allowed: 16/9, 5/4, 5/2, 2/1, 3/2, 4/3 and 1/1 custom aspect ratios are also possible if entered once, the custom aspect ratio is remembered and available during the aspect ratio selection.

In Manual mode, the user is allowed to decide on the crop. In Auto Mode, ViewPoint is automatically making a suggestion of the best crop. As we are used already, it has both Auto and Manual mode. This correction has anchor points option, both horizontally and vertically, but also allows the user to input the angle of the rotation.Ĭrop is a great way of completing your distortion correction. Horizon is doing rotations of the image, usually necessary when the horizon or other relevant guidance line is bent. H/V compress the image vertically (negative values) and horizontally(positive values).Īfter applying perspective settings, View Point displays black colour in the areas lost due to the correction.
Since I am a Photoshop user, I am much more interested in the plugin version, as it integrates much easily in my workflow, so this is what I have used for this review.
#Dxo viewpoint 2 vs 3 trial
View Point comes as both Photoshop plugin and standalone application and according to their website: “The indispensable companion to your wide-angle lens, DxO ViewPoint fixes perspectives and easily restores the natural shapes of the subjects located along image edges.” As an architecture photographer I was getting interested to learn more about this, so I installed the trial version and watched a quick tutorial movie. The geek in me was really curious and decided to give ViewPoint 2 a try. I knew about DXO before from their well known DXOMarks, cameras and lenses reviews, benchmarking’s and ratings, but I was not aware that they are also producing photographic software’s.

Couple of days ago I have received a newsletter from the friends from Topaz Labs, featuring an offer for ViewPoint 2, software made by their partners DXO.
