DxO ViewPoint Crack [Full]
DxO ViewPoint
A program for correcting distorted elements that may form at the edges of your photos, it is also able to correct keystone distortion (geometric distortion of the image caused by the non-perpendicularity of the projection axis relative to the plane of the screen. It is usually characterized by a wide upper and narrowed lower edge.), You can download DxO ViewPoint Full below.
The program can easily restore the natural proportions of objects in your pictures. I would like to separately note the convenient interface. After launch, you can select several test shots to check the product capabilities on them.
DxO ViewPoint Key does not have a huge number of tools, but it does not need it, it clearly performs the tasks assigned to it. I wish you all a successful work!

With DxO ViewPoint, you can manually or automatically fix skewed perspectives and automatically crop the image while maximizing the visible field.
Correct volume deformation
Along the edges of photos taken with a wide-angle lens, bodies are stretched out and faces lengthened due to the phenomenon of “volume deformation.” With just one click, DxO ViewPoint identifies the deformation and restores the subject to its natural shape. This exclusive DxO feature, especially useful for group and portrait photos, perfectly addresses this type of distortion. You can also make changes manually with the advanced controls: regulate the intensity of the correction and select the visible field in your image to create perfectly composed photos.

DxO ViewPoint 3.1.16 Build 289 – (82 Mb)
DxO ViewPoint is a highly-specialized software dedicated to correcting geometrical problems in your images: distortion, volume deformation, and perspective. The aim of this tutorial is to help you get started using the software by presenting you will a certain number of basic corrections that you can with with DxO ViewPoint as a standalone application. (DxO ViewPoint can also be used as a plugin for DxO OpticsPro, Lightroom, Aperture, and Photoshop.
The DxO ViewPoint 2 standalone application interface
To follow this tutorial, you will need:
- DxO ViewPoint 2 standalone application
- Some photos in either RAW, JPEG or TIFF format

A geometrical correction tool
DxO ViewPoint is a highly-specialized software whose role is to correct geometrical problems in images:
- Distortion: An optical flaw that can be more or less obvious as either barrel or pincushion form, depending on the type and model of the lens used to shoot.
- Volume deformation: This type of defect manifests itself as a form of stretching of spherical and/or cylindrical objects, notably along their perimeters, and often occurs with the use of very-wide-angle lenses.
- Perspective: This problem affects the straightness of vertical and horizonal lines, due to a shooting angle that is not perfectly perpendicular with respect to the subject. Parallel lines end up converging or diverging, and is particularly noticeable in architectural photos.
How DxO ViewPoint works
Version 2 of DxO ViewPoint automatically correctsdistortionby usingDxO Optics Module, on condition that the equipment is supported. The strength of the software also resides in its manual correction tools.
As for correctingvolume deformation, this is automatically, and does not depend on DxO Optics Modules. Of course, the intensity of this correction can be adjusted manually.
DxO ViewPoint 2 offers 4 different straightening modes for handling perspective problems:force vertical parallels,force horizontal parallels,force rectangle, and8-point correction. These last two corrections let you act on the four sides of an image.
Note
Automatic distortion correction requires an internet connection for downloading and installing DxO Optics Modules.
Where to begin
Dxo Viewpoint Tutorials
For purposes of this tutorial, we will present the functions of the standalone version of DxO ViewPoint, which lets you correct images inJPEGandTIFF(8- or 16-bit) formats.
After launching the software, proceed as follows:
- SelectOpenin theFilemenu.
- In the dialog box that opens, locate and select the file you want to correct, and click onOpen.
- After opening the image in DxO ViewPoint, make your corrections as described in parts 2 and 3.
- As soon as you finish your corrections, chooseSave asin theFilemenu.
- Finally, in the dialog box, choose where and the format (JPEG or TIFF) in which you will save the corrected image file.
Note
So long as you do not save the file, the corrections are reversible.
Functional modes
The volume deformation correction is automatic, and is available in two different modes. Choose the mode that addresses the problem that is visible in your image:
- Horizontal/Vertical: This mode lets you correct the stretching of objects in either the vertical or horizontal senses of the image. A concrete example is that of a group photo in which the people on the sides of the image are stretched toward the edges.
- Diagonal: This tool lets you the stretching towards the corners of the image as with, for example, the head of a person located in one of the upper corners of the image, which results in an oval deformation of a spherical element.
Example of diagonal volume deformation correction using DxO ViewPoint 2’s dedicated tool
Correcting volume deformation
To correct the deformation of spherical or cylindrical elements in an image:
- Open the image you want to correct by following the procedure in section s1.
- As soon as your image opens, assess what type of deformation is present (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.)
- In the control panel on the right, in theVolume deformationpalette, click on the appropriate button (Horizontal/VerticalorDiagonal).
- The correction is automatically applied.
- Save(see part 1).
If necessary, you can make manual adjustments to the correction by using theIntensityslider. Correcting volume deformation always results in loss of part of the image along the perimeter. After each correction, you can check theCropbox in thededicated paletteso that DxO ViewPoint will apply a crop automatically.
Note
By default, automatic cropping preserves the original proportions of the image (Aspect ratio: Preserve).
Functional modes
Now we will introduce you to DxO ViewPoint’s four modes for correctingperspective:Force parallelsandForce rectangle, which are:
- Force vertical parallels: Lets you fix, for example, a building with strongly convergent lines, by acting on the two sides.
- Force horizontal parallels: The same principle as for vertical parallels.
- Force rectangle: Lets you fix the lines of an image along four sides. This is a particularly useful feature for squaring a painting or a door or a window that was not photographed straight-on.
- 8 points: Same principle asForce rectangle, except that each of the four sides can be corrected completely independently of the other sides. You use this tool when the lines to fix are not on the same plane, or if they a located at different distances from the camera.
Fixingperspectivealso offers two correction intensities:
- Complete: The correction occurs at 100%, that is, the vertical lines are perfectly vertical after correction.
- Natural: The intensity of the correction is set to 75% by default. You would use this mode, for example, when fixing a building that has been shot from ground level (with lines converging toward the top). If you fix it at 100%, the human eye will perceive the building as deformed in the opposite sense at the top, even though the geometry is in fact perfectly respected. This mode lets you give a more natural aspect to your corrected image.

Forcing vertical parallels
To straighten the vertical lines of a building:
- Open an image to correct, following the procedure in section 1.
- In thePerspectivepalette in the control panel on the right, click on the first button (Force vertical parallels).
- Select either theCompleteorNaturalmode under the four straightening mode buttons.
- Two vertical lines will appear on the image.
- Using the mouse, grab the left line and place it (by eye) along the vertical line that you want to straighten in the image.
- Refine the placement of the line by using the mouse to grab and move the points one at a time on either end of the line.
- Repeat the same operation for the right-side line.
- Click onPreviewunder the image to display the rendering after correction.
- Make any necessary adjustments according to your tastes.
- When you are done with your corrections, click onApply.
- Save (see part 1).

You can useLoupetool on the bottom right to place your lines and points with the greatest possible position, which will also let you avoid zooming in on the entire image.
Forcing a rectangle
To fix the four sides of a square or rectangular subject:
- Open an image to correct, following the procedure in section 1.
- In thePerspectivepalette in the control panel on the right, click onForce rectanglebutton.
- Use the mouse to grab a line and to place it on one of the lines of the subject you want to straighten.
- Repeat the operation for the other three sides.
- Refine the placement of the lines by using the mouse to grab and move the points on the ends of the lines. Be sure to keep in mind that when you grab a point to move a line, you will end up moving two lines.
- Repeat the same operation for the other lines.
- Click onPreviewunder the image to display the correction rendering.
- Adjust the correction to suit your tastes.
- When your correction is finished, click onApply.
- Save (see part 1).
Note
You can choose to display a reference grid to help you with your corrections. Go to theDisplaymenu and selectToggle grid overlay(or click on theGridbutton in the toolbar, or simply use the keyboard shortcutG).
Note
If the straightening lines, which are blue by default, are too hard to see because of the colors in your image, you can change their color by clicking on the small (default blue)Line colorsquare on the bottom left. That will open up a color picker from which you can choose the color you prefer.
