I agree with Mike, Lightroom does almost all, why waste time and hardrive space with another program. It’s quick and saves your original files without bloating your HD. It has templates for many lenses taking the guesswork out of distortion. My only gripe with converging verticals is after fixing them in LR, the image always looks too tall and Im not aware of anyway to smoosh it back down with LR.

The new Lightroom 3 has awesome distortion correction in the develop module. You can try out LR for free and see for yourself.

Hi, I’m just starting out. I’m at the practice practice practice stage. I have to say first of all that this website has been a HUGE help to me. I have spent hours and hours reading and learning here. I just bought LensFix. I tried making an HDR photo using Photomatix, and I’m very impressed. Then I continue to tweak in Aperture, and last of all I run it through LensFix for distortion. However when I save the final photo in LensFix, the image quality seems to be very poor, even though I choose ‘best’. If anyone knows what I’m doing wrong, it would be appreciated. Is my work flow all mixed up?

PT Lens is great I’ve been using it for quite a while now. I also use PhaseOne wen shooting raw, the pro version of this has distortion control but costs another $300 which is why I use PT Lens on the odd occassion I need to fix things!

Is there something like a plug-in that can do this within LR with RAW images? I hate opening my stuff in PS just for a silly Transform for verticals, then “destroy” my RAW editing by having to save the JPEG.

Bibble Pro 4.9 is also a great program to do lens corrections on RAW files. It does non-destructive editing and has a database of lenses as well.

For difficult correction of verts/horizonts/barrel check out ptAssembler. It’s mainly a stitching program, but, like Hugin, ably massages single photos into shape. By clicking control points along features you define lines that should be straight, vertical or horizontal. Usually some photo area will be lost during cropping of the end result.
