DxO ViewPoint is a photo editing software package that allows you to correct keystoning and deformed proportions along the edges of your photos easily. It works especially well with photos taken with a wide-angle lens, which usually has distorted edges in photos. ViewPoint also provides the Loupe tool so you can precisely place your anchor points so that slider settings are accurate at all zoom levels to help you achieve the best possible corrections.
Fix keystoning
Recreate the original shapes of buildings. Converging vertical and horizontal lines once again become parallel, unnatural-looking façades regain their normal appearance. This feature helps you restore a natural look to your landscape, architectural, and urban photos.
Specify the lines you want to straighten out, and DxO ViewPoint will correct them automatically. You can also use the advanced settings to refine the corrections.
Correct distortions of the people in your images
Restore the natural proportions of the people on the edges of your photos in just one click. DxO ViewPoint automatically corrects stretched-out faces or distorted body shapes that can occur when you shoot with a wide-angle lens (a phenomenon known as ¿volume anamorphosis¿). This exclusive feature from DxO Labs, adapted to your specific equipment, is particularly useful for group or wedding photos.
Beautify your interior photos by restoring the original proportions of the rooms. This distortion can also occur indoors when there isn't enough distance between the photographer and the subject.
Enjoy greater efficiency with visually intuitive tools
Trace the lines that you want to correct: the keystoning correction tool lets you fix your photo in seconds! Easily define straight lines so as to re-establish the proper shapes of the most complex forms and enjoy unparalleled results for your entire photo in just one click. Use the Loupe tool to precisely place your anchor points: slider settings are accurate at all zoom levels to help you achieve the best possible corrections. DxO ViewPoint¿s explicit tool icons make it easy to identify all the features and functions of the software.

Straighten the horizon
Restore equilibrium and authenticity to your photos by straightening out an unintentionally tilted horizon. The natural visual cues are put back in their proper place and your eyes can once again enjoy an image with a precisely-leveled horizon line.
Conversely, you can use this tool to creatively change the orientation of the horizon to produce a dynamic or calming effect, according to your own tastes.
Modify the angle of your shot
Virtually shift the angle at which you shot your photo. The shift point of view tool lets you change your shooting angle after the fact so that it is perfectly in line with the image you want to produce.
You can reposition your camera vertically as well as horizontally - a real plus for achieving a precise effect.
Automatically crop your photos
Keep the maximum of the visible field in your photos regardless of the corrections you apply. Correct keystoning, straighten the horizon, shift the point of view: the automatic cropping feature systematically optimises the visible field. A DxO Labs exclusive.
You can also manually correct the crop using a standard or totally customised ratio to highlight what you want to express in your shot. Use the composition grid and the Loupe tool to adjust your corrections even more precisely.

Give harmonious proportions to the subjects in your group or wedding photos taken with a wide-angle lens.
Use the Volume Anamorphosis tool to automatically correct the distortions on the edges of your images. All the subjects in your photos will appear properly balanced and well-proportioned.
