Fisheye-Hemi Description

Three plug-ins that support a wide range of camera and fisheye lens combinations Fisheye-Hemi 1 (Circle) works best with a lens and camera combination that covers 180 degrees horizontally across the field, so the captured image appears with black edges in the corners like a globe in space.Fisheye-Hemi 2 (Full Frame) works best with a lens and camera combination that covers 180 degrees diagonally, but the captured image has no black edges in the corners. This combination is commonly called a "full frame fisheye image".Fisheye-Hemi 3 (Cropped) works best with a lens and camera combination that covers less than 180 degrees, where the captured image appears almost normal with mild fisheye distortion.Fisheye-Hemi is a set of plug-in filters for Photoshop, Photoshop plug-in compatible applications, and Apple Aperture which provide correction for hemispheric fisheye lens distortion.Fisheye Hemispheric lenses in the hands of a photographer provide an expanded view of the world across approximately a 180 degree diagonal field. Until now, the primary option available to the photographer was to render these fisheye images using rectilinear mapping techniques. These methods come with several drawbacks, such as distortion of people near the perimeter and loss of resolution and data. Although the image is similar to what is seen by the eye, printed, the images appear distorted.Fisheye-Hemi offers an aesthetically pleasing and natural view of the image using a unique mapping technology! Fisheye-Hemi provides a more normal view of people by not distorting their faces and bodies, improves the resolution of the image, displays the intended composition and framing, and straightens vertical lines.The most important requirement for Fisheye-Hemi is to not distort people, no matter where they are in the image. The faces and bodies must appear as normal as possible; given it is a fisheye lens! The Fisheye-Hemi Plug-In preserves the people. Another important feature of Fisheye-Hemi is the clarity of the mapping. A rectilinear mapping will discard approximately one third of the pixels and crop to the center along the horizontal axis. The photographer paid for a lens to capture up to 180 degrees and much of the data is discarded in a rectilinear view. Fisheye-Hemi uses almost all of the pixels. A rectilinear view will shrink the center of the image, which has the most detail. Fisheye-Hemi preserves this detail by using advanced mathematics to preserve all of the content of the original fisheye image. Additionally, a rectilinear projection discards much of the framing of the image as composed by the photographer through fisheye lens. Fisheye-Hemi preserves all of this framing; what was seen on the top and bottom of the image in the viewfinder is included in the processed image. Last, but not least, Fisheye-Hemi straightens vertical lines. Requirements:Applications:? Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and higher versions? Apple Aperture 2.1 and higher versions?
