As a result, I can’t attempt a fair comparison between the Lightroom Transform panel’s functionality and Viewpoint. I was a very long-term user of Lightroom but stopped using it well over two years ago when I adopted Photolab 1 as my raw converter and processor. Most often when I see converging verticals in images they were not left in for creative purposes, but because the photographer either lacked the tools to correct them, or was so used to seeing this distortion that its presence was ignored. Of course, fisheye lenses, exist to use their extreme distortion creatively. By the way: What is better with DXO ViewPoint compared to other programs that correct distortions, like LightRoom 6 for instance? I figure you have a good answerĮven though you may use converging verticals creatively, if they are in your images but were not there when you looked at the subject with your own eyes, they are a distortion. Sometimes that is the whole point of the picture.

Not all converging verticals are distortions.
