| p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Fisheye Bendy correction software comparison | |
Hello,
For quite a few years, I have successfully used the Fisheye Hemi plug-in for Adobe Photoshop to straighten out the "bendies" in fisheye shots. Quite a few people object to this recommendation now, stating "the adaptive wide angle filter in Adobe Photoshop does this now, you do not need to waste money on that plug-in".
I decided to see what the difference between them is, using the default settings of each method. I will present a non-artistic shot made with an 8mm Rokinon (Samyang) Fish Eye lens, and the two correction methods to see what the difference is as far as the FOV you are left with after default correction.
From what I can tell, the adaptive wide angle filter in the later versions of Adobe Photoshop (I an using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014) by default attempts to straighten out vertical lines that are distorted due to an unlevel handheld camera, whereas the Fisheye Hemi plug-in does not. Here is a comaprison between a straight fisheye shot, a corrected shot with Fisheye Hemi, and a shot with the Adobe Photoshop adaptive wide angle filter:
The straight 8mm fisheye shot:
The Fisheye Hemi corrected shot:
The Adobe Photoshop adaptive wide angle filter shot:
I did not attempt to use any control point changes in the Adobe adaptive wide angle shot at all-just showing what is does by default.
