![]() Image credit: Rod Lawton As well as simulating the effect of perspective control (‘shift’) lenses, ViewPoint 4 can also simulate the shallow depth of field ‘miniature’ effect of a ’tilt’ lens. It corrected both the horizontal and vertical perspective in this photo with a single click. ViewPoint 4’s automatic perspective corrections are excellent. The other is that it does other things that these programs can’t do. One is that ViewPoint 4 just might do a better job. So why would you pay extra to get software that does a job you can do already? Even DxO PhotoLab 6 now has these as standard. Anyone who uses any of these programs already mentioned (apart from Elements) will already have perspective correction tools in their host software. ![]() It can also be used as an external application with Capture One and other photo-editors that support ‘round-tripping’ with external editors. ![]() ![]() ViewPoint 4 also works as a plug-in for Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Lightroom Classic. ViewPoint 4 can be used as a standalone program, complete with its own image browser, but it can only work with TIFFs and JPEGs, not RAW files. ViewPoint 4 can be used as a standalone application, but also integrates with DxO PhotoLab 6 to add a whole new panel and bring its geometric corrections into PhotoLab’s non-destructive workflow. It uses DxO’s lens correction profiles to automatically fix lens distortion, as required, but its main trick is to straighten horizons, fix converging verticals, correct horizontal convergence and – in this latest version – apply local geometric corrections with a new node-based ReShape warping tool. DxO ViewPoint 4 is a program devoted specifically to lens and perspective corrections. ![]()
