This is very useful for interior photography if you don’t have a wide-angle tilt & shift lens. Thanks to the Perspective function in the plugin Perspective Efex you’ll be able to correct both vertical and horizontal lines. When you take photos of architecture you’ll see its impossible to avoid distortion. There are 6 different main functions in the plugin Perspective Efex: Distortion, Volume deformation, Perspective, Horizon, Crop and Miniature effect. To learn more about the interface and the different effects I would advise you to have a look at this page.

The interface of Perspective Efex consists of a toolbar that you’ll find in the top left, an image display area, a lower toolbar and a correction palette on the right bar where you’ll find the different effects you can use. The type of photos to use this plugin for simple corrections is endless, from the horizontal line of your seascapes, straighten urban and cityscapes but also portrait, lifestyle and even food photos! Different functions in Perpective Efex There are softwares that have similar functions but what makes this plugin unique is that thanks to a special DxO technology it corrects faces and bodies in an image you are working on. You can either use the Auto function or if you feel more confident you can go ahead and use the Control Points to assure you will obtain the result you want. The plugin Perspective Efex was developed to make geometric corrections. Yesterday, Nik Collection 3 By DxO was released including many new effects, filters but also a new plugin Perspective Efex! It’s a plugin I have tested and used during several weeks and in this article, I will introduce you to it and show you some concrete examples on how you can use it.
