Perspective distortion causes a building’s vertical lines to converge inwards towards the top of the frame. It's disappointing that this useful lens correction feature is unavailable in PhotoLab 4 as standard, given that rival programs like Lightroom, Capture One and others include it. Indeed, even the iOS Photos app can counteract perspective distortion. DXO PHOTOLAB 2 PROMOTIONAL CODE DOWNLOAD.
