Join Chris Orwig for an in-depth discussion in this video Removing distortion, part of Lightroom 6 Essential Training.
- How about if we take a look…at how we can fix some common lens distortion issues…by working in our controls in…the lens corrections panel in the Develop module.…Sometimes when you're capturing photographs,…especially with wider angle lenses,…the images can appear a little bit warped…or in this case, you can see we have some distortion,…and also these columns aren't standing up straight.…Well, let's take a look at how…we can fix those issues and others…by working with lens corrections.…Here we'll open up our lens corrections panel…and the first thing that you want to do…is to enable profile corrections.…
You can do that here or you can also…do it underneath the Profile tab.…If you go to the Profile tab…you'll see you have a few other settings as well.…So, let's start here.…Step one, enable the profile corrections.…When you click on this all of a sudden…you'll see that it removes some of the distortion…and also some of the darkening…or the vignetting around the edges.…Take a look, here's that before, and then now the after.…
