There’s nothing to complain about in its design and interface layout. ViewPoint 4 is both very powerful and easy to use, and that’s very much to its credit. (Image credit: Rod Lawton) (opens in new tab) For that you need to run it from a 'host' program as a plug-in or external editor. The standalone mode has a quick simple folder browser on the left – but it turns out ViewPoint 4 can't display or edit raw files (or iPhone HEICs). If you launch it as a standalone program, you’ll also get a directory tree of all your folders in the left sidebar. Miniature effect: this seems like a bit of a departure for an optical correction tool, but it mimics the shallow depth of field effect of a tilt lens.Īnd that’s pretty much all there is to ViewPoint 4.

Horizon: an automatic or manual tool for levelling up horizons.Ĭrop: you can apply different aspect ratios and rotate images to straighten them here, too. Reshape: a new feature in ViewPoint 4 which is like a local warping tool for correcting the perspective rendering of smaller objects within a scene. Perspective: automatic correction for vertical convergence, horizontal convergence or both, plus manual tools which include powerful 8-point adjustment.

Volume Deformation: a tool you won’t find anywhere else for correcting the artificial elongation of objects near the edges of the frame in photos shot with ultra-wide lenses. Distortion: for applying automatic lens correction profiles, which can be downloaded as necessary.
