Dxo Viewpoint 1.1.1 Now Available

Version 1.1.1 of DxO ViewPoint, the software solution entirely dedicated to correcting keystoning as well as deformations caused by the use of wide-angle lenses, fixes various minor problems caused by extreme perspective corrections.

Based on DxO Labs' advanced geometrical corrections, DxO ViewPoint corrects the distortion of the subjects on the edges of images -- known as "volume anamorphosis" -- due to the use of short focal lengths (as with wide-angle lenses). DxO ViewPoint also lets users correct the most complex kinds of perspective problems, including keystoning, without having to resort to costly shift lenses. Each of these features includes advanced fine-tuning controls to achieve the highest correction precision.

DxO ViewPoint can be used as a standalone application for Mac OS X and Windows and as a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6 and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 and 4.

Availability, Discount

DxO ViewPoint v1.1.1 for Windows and Mac OS X is available in the DxO Labs online store and at photo resellers at a discount until Jan. 31.
