Thanks, Moose. I looked at both PTLens 8.9
PTLens is at 9.0 now.
and DxO Viewpoint on-line.
I seem to recall it's first iteration was about perspective correction. Ah yes, I see in the photo-i review of the
original there was no lens correction. Had it been there, I might not now own DxO Optics Pro 10.
But I see version 2 adds the same lens distortion correction as in full DxO
Optics Pro.
All the noise about perspective correction and volume anamorphosis correction is unnecessary fluff if one already uses
any full featured editor. The same photo-i review show how the volume anamorphosis correction is just a fancy name for
something easily done in other editors. <http://www.photo-i.co.uk/2013/01/dxo-viewpoint-review/3/> I've tried this, and
he is right.
My take would be that PTLens at $25 adds all that PWP is missing for less money that $79 Viewpoint. Viewpoint's
perspective correction tools may or may not be more to your liking in the way they work than PWPs. Take a look at
Vincent's review.
