DESCRIPTION
LensFix CI (Core Image), formerly LensFix PanoTools Plug-ins, is a new stand-alone program, a Photoshop CS3 plug-in and an Aperture plug-in for correcting image distortion and perspective in your photographs. Processing is lightning fast on Core Image capable Macs (most new Macs support Core Image). Features include:
- Over thousands distortion correction presets. Chances are your camera is included.
- Stand alone version can also be used as an external editor in Adobe's Lightroom.
- Includes a Photoshop CS3 plug-in.
- All versions 16 bit capable.
- Sliders for changing perspective of your image. Straighten your image easily with vertical, horizontal and roll sliders. Unlike Photoshop, you can also change adjust the 'virtual' focal length of the image using the aspect ratio slider so the new perspective is correct.
- Chromatic aberration correction.
- Vignetting correction
- Stand alone version reads and processes RAW images.
- Batch processing.
- Save presets for future use includes correction presets for most common cameras and lenses;
WHAT'S NEW
Version 4.3: Includes a beta plug-in for Apple's Aperture program. The new version operates as an plug-in in Aperture instead of an 'external editor'.
Updated the LensFix database.
REQUIREMENTS

DANNYMONTANI Ok, what's happening here.My comment post from last night has been pulled from the reviews for no reason. Yesterdays download of LensFixCI v4.4.1 gave me v4.3. I installed it and it quits upon launching with a small 56k .jpg, then a 1.3mb .jpg and then a 10.9mb .nef from a Nikon D40x. It automatically sent reports to Apple. Each try netted the same quit.I am thourly knowledgeable, running 10.5 on a Mac Pro G5, 3G, and need it for PS CS3 asap for about 200 images. Now, late night I went to the competition's site PTLens, (www.epaperpress.com) and found them to be the initiator of the two programs 'Lens databases'. I downloaded his software v1.0.4 which is almost the same interface. It installed fine and works just fine. It is also half the price at $15. I see that I will have to make an action script to do batch processing of my images. Should be no sweat. I praise Tom Nieman for his good work.

TDAVEN The documentation is out of date. Those cameras are supported. :-)

ETNIER Checking the documentation shows no database support for the Nikon D80 or D40/d40x. A shame...

KAZ219 The idea is great, but I'll have to wait a bit (it's still in beta, after all), because batch processing doesn't work for me... too bad. Something which would be amazing, would be the "applescriptability" of lensfix, in order to make it possible to write an apple script and batch process pictures from inside iPhoto!! Just a thought...

DGOMBAU This is a great tool - especially for people who want to photograph streets, interiors, and framed artwork. These subjects really show up lens distortion, and LensFix CI does a simple yet powerful job (like Calico does for panorama stitching) of "just making it right". License is a small price to pay for such a timesaver.

TDAVEN Let me know if this fixes: a) The missing small slices in the plugin or stand alone b) The missing large tiles in the plugin or stand alone app I have one user still reporting the bugs and I need to know which macs this is an issue on and which Macs it works. arrrrgghhh

TDAVEN Thomas took his PTLens private about a year ago. You won't see any new lenses in his old database. Check his site at epaperpress.com. I licensed the new version of the PTLens database from Thomas.

JACKWEB For anyone looking for a free alternative, try HuginOSX http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/18575 Let's hope someone develops a free version of the Lens fix. (btw HuginOSX isn't a plugin as such, but standalone software)

TDAVEN FYI, LensFix CI does not use Panotools for processing, is for correcting distortion, perspective, chromatic aberrations and vignetting individual images (Hugin is for stitching images). In addition, LensFix CI has over 500 camera and lens presets. Maybe someone will develop a free source of gasoline for my car. Compare LensFix CI with other distortion correcting programs and not photo stitchers.

MCGINTY 18 months later and kekus continues to develop the package. His GUI for PTools is fabulous and the plugins are great. I use the lensfix all the time, even for relatively minor adjustments - fast and accurate.
