"Lens correction" refers to the process of correcting distortions caused by the use of certain camera lenses. These distortions can take various forms, including barrel distortions, pincushion distortions, chromatic aberrations, and vignetting. Lens correction aims to reduce or eliminate these distortions to achieve a more accurate and higher-quality representation of images.
Typical features of software in the realm of "lens correction" include:
Automatic profile detection: The software can automatically detect and apply profiles for different camera lenses to correct the specific distortions of these lenses.
Manual adjustment options: Users have the option to make manual adjustments to the lens correction parameters to tailor the corrections to their own preferences and needs.
Correction of barrel and pincushion distortions: The software can correct barrel and pincushion distortions to restore straight lines in images and achieve a more natural perspective.
Correction of chromatic aberrations: The software can correct chromatic aberrations by minimizing or eliminating color shifts at the edges of objects in the image.
Correction of vignetting: The software can correct vignetting by restoring even brightness distribution across the entire image and compensating for darker corners or edges.
