A progress bar is displayed installation and activation are immediate when the download completes.

Select the corresponding module then click OK.

The dialog box also displays the status of the modules: Installed, update available, or to be downloaded. This dialog box displays the most probable optics modules required and offers a choice if there is any ambiguity (when DxO ViewPoint is unable to fully identify the body/lens pair used for shooting.) DxO Optics Modules dialog box In the case of a fish-eye lens, if it is supported by a DxO optics module, typical deformation will be corrected automatically, but you can reduce the degree of correction or even set it to zero using the Intensity slider, if you want to keep the look.įor best results, we recommend correcting distortions before using any of the following tools:ĭownloading and installing DxO Optics ModulesĪ DxO Optics Module management dialog box appears when you perform an automatic distortion correction. Some lenses are affected by both phenomena - for example, a zoom lens can display barrel distortion at shorter focal lengths and a pincushion distortion at longer focal lengths, not to mention the various distortions in between.ĭxO ViewPoint uses DxO optics modules to correct distortions, so we advise you not to use any lens corrections in the host-application and to disable your camera’s distortion correction tools too.ĭxO ViewPoint lets you correct all optical distortions, either automatically, using DxO optics modules, or manually, if the shooting equipment (body and lens) has yet to be supported by a DxO optics module. The two principal types of distortion: pincushion (left) and barrel (right)

Pincushion: Lines are bent towards the interior of the image.

Barrel: Lines are bent towards the exterior of the image.
