Have many of you experienced using this DXO ViewPoint3? I would thoroughly enjoy hearing about your experiences. And thank you, in advance.

Not much to say - it works as advertised and does a great job at resolving volume anamorphosis. I prefer it to the corersponding functions in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Thank you. And how wide an angle lens were you using? Less than 10mm per chance?

I have DxO ViewPoint3 and DxO PhotoLab3. Viewpoint3 becomes integrated into the PhotoLab3 interface if you purchase both. I've been very impressed with it. I took this photo in Richmond, VA. I used the 16mm setting on my 16-85mm lens. I was tilting the camera up some which gave me converging verticals. There's also volume deformation. Notice how the left and right parts of the building are stretched horizontally in the original. Compare it with the lower photo after using ViewPoint3. You can load profiles for your camera and lens combinations which allow it to do automatic corrections.

CO, that is very impressive. You've convinced me that I made the right decision two days ago to purchase DxO ViewPoint3.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

You might want to get PhotoLab3 also. The ViewPoint3 functions are then imported into PhotoLab3. You'll have the combined functions of both in the same interface.

Wow, $149. Pricy? Except for the 8mm wide lens corrections, I'm getting all I look for in Affinity Photo.

We discussed this same topic with you before in a couple of other threads. Viewpoint 3 will not straighten out your 8mm fisheye lens images so they look rectilinear.

This sounds like you have had experience with an 8mm lens. Have you found a way to straighten out an image from this lens?
I'm been successful enough to make it useful, but I'd like to do better with it.

The widest I've used it with was a 10mm on a crop sensor, and a 14mm on a full frame. Typically I don't use lenses that wide though. You might want to take a look at this:

You and I, and others discussed this at length some time ago. You provided a sample image before you mentioned it was a fisheye lens. As soon an I saw the image I knew that Viewpoint 3 world not give you the results you were after, but I gave it a shot anyway, unsuccessfully. Others pointed out that you might have more success with Photoshop's transform and warp tools. It seems we've gone full circle on this subject and are starting all over from scratch.
