ALPA Lens Corrector Plug-in

This plug-in for Adobe Photoshop® (as well as Photoshop Elements® - but not tested - please start Photoshop CS5 in 32bit mode when using the LC) is able to correct the distortion of ALPA lenses from Schneider, Rodenstock and Zeiss easily, quickly and at ultimate quality level. In addition the tool is able to correct shifted images, which is not common in many other tools. It is based on photogrammetric principles and got developed together with the University of Berne. The achievable corrections are potentially on a sub-pixel level. Below you will find for download the manual (English/German) and ressources for the installation on Mac as well as Windows.
