![]() This option works well in most cases and is the easiest to use, but in examples of extreme distortion may fall short of expectations. Lightroom has distortion correction built in to the Develop module on the Lens Correction panel with the Upright tool. There are several ways to correct this distortion in the digital darkroom. This distortion is caused when we point our camera up or down, causing vertical lines to bend. The original image taken with a 14mm lens.įrequently we make images with wide-angle lenses that suffer from distortion. It was quicker for me to use the selection brush than to change the tolerance in the flood select tool. I also had "Tolerance" set at 3%, so that might be a factor as well. The black cable is contiguous with the black triangle - it runs right into it. If "Contiguous" is checked, nothing outside of the black triangle should be selected. I'd have had to fiddle with the settings to stop that. It also selected the black cable, not just the black triangle. ![]() Make sure "Contiguous" is checked.Īctually, it didn't. In this case, the Flood Select Tool does a better job. Just doing a double-click with the selection brush selected is often enough, though in this case, I needed to do a little tidying at the sharp end (one brush stroke). It's pretty easy to do the selection manually anyway. I agree, Affinity's Inpainting works well under most conditions. I suspect the reason the macro doesn't work with your image is because PhotoLab is filling with black, while the macro step is making a "Select Opaque". Incidentally, I've imported that macro, but it doesn't work for me with this image. I was expecting it to handle the clouds well, but then have to do some repair work on the cable. What really impressed on this occasion was how it automatically handled the overhead cable, with no need for any manual cloning or other brushwork. Here's a macro that does essentially the same thing:Ĭlick on "Dave's Alpha Inpaint.afmacros" and install the download - Particularly useful when straightening images or stretching a canvas, the macro inpatients the transparent corners or edges in 5 automated steps. Yes, you're welcome to download, edit and upload these images. I know other tools could achieve this, but could any others do it so simply? ![]() Yes, it filled in both the cable and the clouds in one click, no further work needed The Inpaint tool applies to the whole selected area I used the Selection brush tool to mark the area (very easy, little more than a double-click), then used the one-click Inpaint area tool (rather than the Inpaint brush) to fill in the whole selected area: The image is exported as a TIFF to Affinity I knew this would be easy to fix in Affinity, but I hadn't realised just how easy: I'd post-processed an image from raw in P元, and after perspective correction in Viewpoint and cropping, ended up with a dark corner:ĭark corner needs filling, after perspective correction in DxO Viewpoint I'm already a fan, but came across an example that really impressed me: Many paint programs have content-aware healing tools, but the Inpaint tool in Affinity is particularly powerful.
