Changing your Perspective

Although Photoshop CC provides a very impressive foundation for post processing, there is always space for a few plug-ins.

In previous posts I have mentioned some of my ‘go to’ plug-ins, eg Color-Efex Pro 4 and Fixel Contrastica; in this post I suggest another ‘go to’ plug-in: DxO Lab’s ViewPoint 2.

Although you can shift perspective in Photoshop, DxO VP2 provides you a really powerful plug-in for PS and lR; and it’s on offer at the moment at $49: https://shop.dxo.com/login_product.php#dvp

There are several good videos on line on how to use VP2, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDmENSA7jsA

So what can you achieve?

These two images ( RAW plus processed) show the power of DxO VP2 to help you ‘shift perspective’. The images were both taken at a shutter speed of 25 seconds.

Bottom line: I can recommend DxO ViewPoint 2 as a great adjunct to PS and LR.

As this blog has grown over time, some of the earlier posts, especially those referencing Magic Lantern scripts, have become 'out of date', ie with broken references to 'old' scripts. Today, I only use/support two ML scripts: DOFIS, for all my focusing needs, and MUSIC, for multiple image bracketing, eg for long exposure simulation. For CHDK cameras I support several scripts, ie the Landscape Bracketing Script (LBS) for the M3/10 and non-M3 cameras, and the Quasi Depth of Field Script for the M3. My older scripts remain accessible on my GitHub under the legacy scripts link.
