When it came to architecture, Lightroom's Upright tool did an okay job of making lopsided buildings indeed look upright with a click, but again, I could get better results with ViewPoint. What's more, ViewPoint let me adjust the strength of the correction, rather than just offering on and off. Lightroom's Vertical choice did a better job than its Auto or Full choice, which drastically distorted the face, but for both of those the face was still cut off.
I managed to get the face looking a lot more naturally proportioned, and the subject still fit it in the frame.
Using ViewPoint's Anamorphic tool, you choose one of two buttons-one for photos simply stretched side-to-side, and another for those stretched in all the corners. Correcting with Lightroom's Auto option, a face in the corner of a wide shot was cut out of the picture, and the subject's honker actually grew unnaturally longer. While Upright works acceptably for inanimate objects, human features are a different story. I'd had fairly good success with that earlier, but now I pit it side-by-side against the single-missioned ViewPoint. A hand zoom slider and optional grid overlay, as well as side-by-side before/after views complete the set of useful interface tools.Ĭorrecting Volume Anamorphosis I compared ViewPoint's Anamorphosis correction tools with Lightroom's Upright correction, which also attempts to fix geometry problems in photos. A clear full-screen button at top right removes distracting OS borders. Helpful diagrammatic buttons visually portray what each tool does. The large central work area is flanked to the right with a panel offering the program's corrections-Anamorphosis, Keystoning, Horizon, and Crop, along with a loupe. You can drag-and-drop a photo or open it the old fashioned way with a File dialog to start working on a photo. ViewPoint's standalone application window sports the simple, pleasing dark gray user interface found in up-to-date photo apps. When you install ViewPoint with custom settings, you can choose to install plugins for Photoshop CS3 through CS6 and/or Lightroom. At 255MB, it's not the smallest program you'll download and install. Setup and Interface I tried the standalone version on a 3.4GHz quad-core Windows 8 test machine (it's available for Mac OS X, as well).
