DxO Perspective App Reviews
Didn’t believe it was actually going to work but holy… Really good app didn’t expect it to work so fast and quickly. Definetly worth the money, however the menu options sometime crash, kinda hard to explain but the text like (Open,new, etc.) topple over each other like its a bunch of scribbles, happened 3 times and for a few of my other friends who tested the app, other than that its pretty neat!
I wasn’t sure about this application since I usually make these perspective adjustments in either Lightroom or Photoshop. But I had a «special case» that neither succeeded to fix. So for 15$ why not try DxO? Honnestly, I am very satisfyed with this product which is really simple to use and very efficient at what it does! I would recommand it for those who don’t have all the appropriate lenses to shoot buildings or architecture. This would certainly be a useful tool!
Very easy to use. I just dragged a JPEG from iPhoto onto the work space, selected the first tool, positioned the anchor points and clicked the Apply button. In about two seconds the image was corrected. I love that it worked so well without having to read a manual. Very intuitive. I’m looking forward to learning about the other tools.
Its no secret that Apple drops the NonRetina technology. Why developers are still using the old methods of development? It would be logical to add support Apertute.
Nice Small App
Nice small app to align your photos.
I find this software really useful. But it’s too niche at the same time. If you are not pro, you may not need it that often. But if you are pro and don’t want to do the same in PS or Lightroom, this is very handy.
Wow! DxO Perspective does exactly what it claims and does it very well. I quickly modified two dozen architectural exteriors, interiors and landscapes. Results are very impressive. My initial tests done on a 2013 iMac, using JPEGS opened in Preview. Drag & drop a photo from Preview into DxO. The interface is intuitive. Choose the simple but effective settings, hit "Apply" and almost instantaneously the photo is modified. Original photos are untouched. As an architect, correcting the perspective on photos using DxO is now quick & easy. Im not affiliated in anyway with the DxO Labs. I purchased DxO using the App Store. Highly recommended.
Great for material mapping
Use this to adjust existing material images for clean 3D mapping! Quick and easy to use, works seamlessly with iPhoto.
This app covers all the different methods to align an image. I especially love the 8 point lineup. I work frequently with old images and DxO Perspective is the best ever at straightening deformed images. I hope you will make a version for iOS.
The scope of this app is not broad – it doesn’t do a lot, but what it does it does very well. In my experience this app fixes the perspectives of skewed photos without making them look screwy. Impressive.
I agonized over buying this since I have other Photo editing programs, and youd think that theyd have perspective as a basic feature (hello Photoshop...). When they dropped the price I grabbed DxO Perspective and am very glad I did! It does what it says more-or-less perfectly, at least I havent found anything perspective it doesnt do well. I purchased it for exterior/interior architector shots, then I started using it for other things - like all the pictures of funny saying signs in stores and peoples homes. Wow, fantastic! Straightens them like I have a tripod and leveler! Ive taken some test shots of artwork and it works perfectly there as well. Im going to start experimenting with other things, like landscapes. If the developers would like to expand into other perspective issues like lens barrel distortion, that would be fantastic!
As a DxO patron of 10+ years, I know they make excellent software, and this is no exception. However, I would like to see more integration with OS X and iOS via an extension for Photos, perhaps even directly integrated into DxO OpticsPro for Photos.
Sorry to do this.I purchased Perspective to straighten out lens distortion,Barrel distortion or known as fisheye effect.This is not doing anything.Useless to me.
The image correction, even in complex compositions, is very impressive. This is the case even with lenses which distort architectural images quite a bit (e.g. Nikkor 18 - 55mm) and not evenly across the frame. The software is super fast as well. The only downside - the software is not an extension. I wonder why, but it really should be!
Won’t open .jpg or .jpeg
Won’t open the .jpeg or.jpg photo I need to fix. Crashes every time I try to import a file. It used to work.
Useless except for JPEGs
Maybe this was buried in the fine print but DXO Perespective only works on JPEGs, and even some of them don't work. Glad it was inexpensive.
Works Great
In case anyone is wondering how it works with Apple silicon (M2 mac mini) it is an Intel App and runs fine on Sonoma 14.2. The sofware has all the normal vertical, horizontal, rectangular, and 8 point adjustments. It is missing grid transformation but that is part of DxO Viewpoint which is 10x more expensive.
Excellent for my use
I am very happy I took the chance to download this app. It is perfect for my needs. I am an artist. Occassionally I need to use a perspective or warp tool to correct photographs of my paintings. This app takes a little time to get full results becasue I have to save after each adjustment and then re-open with a new file name. BUT it works and does a good job! Perhaps with a little more practice I will be able to perform the operation in one go. Well worth the price.
Broken on Big Sur and Later
This app hasn't bene updated in three years. All of the UI elements are broken, and the app is unusable. It should be fixed or removed from the App Store
Used to be great, now extremely laggy
Dxo perspective used to be a great, limited-purpose tool. Now it's nearly completely unusable under Catalina on a top-of-the-line mac pro.
Can't recommend
Hasn't been updated for a year. Jumps around when you're trying to set alignments. Not smooth or fast and doesn't feel native or supported. Did they rush this out just to have something in the App Store? I love the work that DxO does, but Perspective is not a high point.
Does nothing but crash under macOS 10.13.5
all this software does is crash, does not open files, even the error reporter crashes — wish I could get my money back.
Great for deskewing and perspective correction
I use this app to deskew jpg images. Many deskew apps do no more than rotate an image to align it to a hoizintal ruler. This app does a true deskew—I can select four corners of an object that would be rectangular if viewed straight-on, and the app will correct the image to make the object rectangular. That makes it very useful for tasks such as: —correcting the keystone effect that appears when shooting tall buildings, —removing perspective from book cover photos that show the cover on a book shot at an angle; and —just about any other task where perspective correction or keystone removal is desired. It’s very intuitive and easy to use, and it’s pretty flexible in how one chooses the points where the correction is calculated.
wishing for Photos integration
fixing parallax / tilt shift issues is this app’s specialty and it performs wonderfully. If only it showed up as a plugin in Photos. As it is, I can find pictures in Photos, and easily edit them in DxO Perspective, but when it comes to saving them - they don’t go back into Photos (at least not obviously - and they don’t show up in the standard Photos view). So Please Please DxO - make it a plugin.
Not opening images
As of today, this app is not opening my jpeg and tiff images. It has to be updated!
The Usual From DXO
First, the bad: It’s not integrated into any other applications via plugin. I can live with this, but it’s not appealing to EVER introduce another application into my workflow, especially since perspective correction is important to me. It’s got the usual wonky DXO interface, forces you to do things in a particular order and there is little you can do to change it. Want to remove previews from the main screen window? Sorry, just keep opening others until the one you don’t want disappears. Perhaps there’s a way to do this, but I can’t find it. The corrections might be good, but it’s super important to be able to reduce the size of the image you’re working on when correcting perspective. How else can you make it work? I cannot find a way to reduce an image to less than 75% of the original. That does not leave nearly enough space around the frame to do work in. Photoshop’s transform tools are much more powerful. The Good? Still looking. I guess I’m out 10 bucks for something I will not use in its current state.
Does what I needed
This app works fine but be aware… You cannot use this app as an editing extention in Photos (why)!? This is not noted in their app description. Had I known, I would have look elsewhere. My fault, didn’t investigate enough... Very dissapointing.
great
works great and you can use it in "photos.app" through the "external edit for photos.app"!! far to expensive, it should cost less than 5$
it does what is says on the tin - and it does it great
The image correction, even in complex compositions, is very impressive. This is the case even with lenses which distort architectural images quite a bit (e.g. Nikkor 18 - 55mm) and not evenly across the frame. The software is super fast as well.

Great Start...

Okay, I'm Impressed...

Retina need

Perfect so far
