Review
This is official description
ShiftN is an extremely easy program to use. In most cases only the Automatic Correction button need be used. Thereby corrections are carried out automatically (if selected in checkbox settings).
ShiftN permits correction of converging lines; a majority of the correction work is taken over automatically by the program. Using the "automatic correction" item in the menu is in most cases sufficient to produce a satisfying result. Both the effects of converging lines and poor camera angle are corrected automatically.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 3.5
ShiftN is a simple but powerful photo editing software tool specifically designed to correct the converging lines effect present in many photos or pictures, mainly due to the difference in angle between the film-plane of your camera and the object in the picture.
The program deeply scans the loaded photograph, specifically looking for architectural elements, and searches for correctly angled vertical lines to determine the right vertical plane. After that, it searches for other, non-parallel vertical lines, and then makes them parallel to the correct plane, therefore fixing any wrong camera angle.
This great tool is very easy to use, it does the whole job with only five buttons, located at the top of the main panel. You just have to load the photo that needs correcting, select "Automatic correction", and the program will make most of the necessary corrections on its own. If you are not completely satisfied with the results, you have additional options, like the "Re-optimize" and "Adjust correction" buttons, which allow you to perform a more exhaustive work. This useful tool has also several configuration options that you can use to fine-tune its performance. You can also make use of batch-processing, in case you need to automatically correct a sequence of photos. |
