lx1713 Posted April 8, 2018 Share #30  Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) .By the look of them they work by adding distortion rather than removing it!  Yes, that's true. So what I do is to selectively correct those faces that are affected and blend it back in, in Photoshop. It's more tedious. Anyway, I started in Photoshop decades ago and still prefer to use Photoshop. It's the only solution I know that generally acceptable to my clients. I do quite a lot of corrections because I rarely have ideal locations for a shoot. Like someone said it's better to get it right in the first place. Corrections can be eased by shooting with the background separately, use a wider better corrected lens etc. Edit: The 24-90 is a really good lens for that matter, I don't fault it for this  Can't deny that I do dislike many aspect of these programs.

lx1713 Posted April 8, 2018 Share #31  Posted April 8, 2018 Helpful how? That looks wierd IMHO.  Oh dear I shouldn't have added the vignette. That's distracting. Agreed. Weird when not expected.  I slimmed down the lady on the left. And reduced the distortion on the lady standing on the right. And closed the door. Vignetting is a bit of a laziness on my part. In cases when the client is generous, I will correct their lengths of pants, iron their clothes, add in missing persons and so on. If possible.  Being a quick one, I didn't really do the hinges properly.  It's just that there really isn't any easy solution for this but rescuing a client is paramount. I have been in these shoes before and dislike the feeling.  Attached a couple files. One to show simple changed file and one that is a difference overlay to show changes. Welcome, dear visitor!

lx1713 Posted April 8, 2018 Share #32 Â Posted April 8, 2018 I also realise that coming into this thread from several days of photoshop image editing can be a little bit of being the hammer and seeing this problem as a nail that needs nailing. So I apologise for jumping in without more thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share #35  Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) FWIW, a comparison of two methods for wide-angle distortion correction. First Photoshop's Adaptive Wide Angle filter, second DXO Viewpoint 3. Superficially similar, with Viewpoint marginally better, but Viewpoint seems to confine its corrections to the sides, while PS seems to stretch the whole image to greater or lesser extent. Both are fairly controllable, so they may get closer with practice. Not much in it, but starting from LR, Viewpoint is a lot quicker than PS as a plug-in, which is useful when you have a number of images to correct, and looks like a useful investment. PS would be needed (with smart objects) for non-destructive editing. Welcome, dear visitor!

lx1713 Posted April 9, 2018 Share #36 Â Posted April 9, 2018 Â Viewpoint might be similar to Photoshop's filter "Filter>Distort>Spherize>Horizontal" which also limits the distortion but being much older in origin it might not be as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lx1713 Posted April 9, 2018 Share #37 Â Posted April 9, 2018 I think on closer examination of the pictures, I do like your DXO Viewpoint version better. Thanks for showing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
