Based on Helmut Dersch's Panorama Tools, these Photoshop compatible plug-ins can simply be described as versitile, accurate and powerful. The plug-ins include: Adjust: for extracting or inserting corrected images to and from panoramas; LensFix: for fixing distortions caused by lens imperfections and scanning misalignments including: radial, vertical and horizontal shift, shear, scale, and radial luminance, Correct, same as LensFix but in the original Panotools interface and is not scriptable. Includes cut frame and fourier filter options; Perspective: for changing the viewing angle of an image; Remap: for converting panorama types including normal, cylindrical QTVR, spherical, fisheye and convex mirror. Barrel and pincushion distortions found in many lenses can be corrected using the radial shift filter that can adjust the red, green and blue channels separately if you wish. What's more, the light fall off that commonly occurs near the edges of wide angle lenses can be corrected with the radial luminance filter. What's New: Version 2.0.19d: Faster chromatic aberration corrections in LensFix and Correct. Panorama Tools will now do a reduced number of transformation calculations depending on the correction settings. If only one channel is adjusted, the tranformation will be three times faster. If you have a dual processor Macintosh and your PanoTools.bundle is older than version 19, transformations can be up to six times faster. Additional cameras and lenses are added to the database including new settings for: Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM for Canon 1.6x crop factor cameras (10D, Digital Rebel, etc.) Canon 17-40mm f/4L USM for Canon full frame camera (Canon 1DS) Canon PowerShot Pro1 Leica Digilux 2 Minolta DiMAGE Xg Nikkor 70-210mm f/4 AF on Nikon/Fuji 1.6x crop factor (Nikon D70, Fuji S2, etc.) Olympus C5060WZ Pentax Optio 555, 550 and 450  |  |
