Is there a 100% free barrel distortion out there?

I use a Canon 5d mk11 and 17-40 lens and would like a free barrel distortion software programme,only need basic and no trial versions.Even better why don't Apperture add it to their App 4 next upgrade ,cheers.

If you need free lens distortion correction, GIMP is probably your best bet right now. It has a pretty wide variety of filters included, including a lens distortion plug-in. If you regularly work with RAW images, I'd suggest performing the distortion correction as a final step since GIMP will discard much of the more subtle image data that gets written to a RAW file.
You'll likely need to download XQuartz as well to use GIMP, since GIMP was originally a UNIX/Linux program. You can get that here.

What FREE software is out there for.....

What FREE software is out there for viewing word or pdf files on my Blackberry 8830? Thanks!

Is "Docs to Go" going to be a standard part of the OS going forward?
You're getting a new BlackBerry! Now, where did you save the registration info for all of your 3rd party apps?

Olympus E-P1, RAW files, barrel distortion and Snow Leopard

I currently use Aperture 2.0, a MacbookPro, and a new Oly E-P1. I have just returned from a trip to Spain with over 1000 RAW files. Aperture won't recognize them. Tricking Aperture into accepting them as E-30 RAWs leaves in huge barrel distortion issues. Always silent Apple won't even say if they're working on recognizing them in an upcoming release. The native OLY RAW converters mostly correct the barrel distortion with funny math in their extremely lame Olympus Master 2 that came with the camera. Raw Photo Processor (which I was counting on to save me) which will recognize the files, also leaves in barrel distortion.
I understand that the latest Adobe Camera Raw 5.5 will read Oly E-P1 RAW files. I see no way to use Adobe Camera Raw 5.5 without upgrading my current Photoshop from CS to CS4 and purchasing Lightroom. Total cost, about $400. I might be willing (as an amateur) to do this, as I probably need to upgrade to CS4 anyway, BUT, I understand through a little digging on the web, that I will probably have to downgrade my OS from OS X v. 10.6 (Snow Leopard) apprently not supported by Adobe yet. Both of these will be a major commitment of time and money.
I would like to make sure that the Adobe Camera Raw 5.5 does indeed correct the barrel distortion first. Anybody out there using it? Also, if anyone has any other suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

If you want to try, just download the LR 2.5 demo version from the Adobe Website. You don't need to upgrade Photoshop. Lightroom will work just fine by itself, even when using CS as the external editor as it contains the full ACR raw rendering kernel and you can just have Lightroom render tifs to be sent to PS. Also, Lightroom and CS4 work perfectly fine on 10.6. Lightroom should be run in 32-bit mode for the time being if you need the tight Photoshop integration, but that is about it. I don't know where you got the info that you would need to downgrade. That is simply false.

How do I apply timestamp and barrel distortion correction together?

Hi guys! My first time posting a question here and I hope to get your sound advice on this editing challenge. At the moment I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and FastStone Image viewer to do some image and video editing. I am using GoPro Hero 3 HD cam to take photos at certain time interval and then combine then it into a timelapse video. The capture settings are 7mp at medium angle. I know the GoPro take pictures at 12 mp W, but as you know the GoPro is notorious for barrel distortion, so at higher settings, it's even worse.
I am tasked with both correcting barrel distortion and adding timestamp feature on my timelapse videos. I've used the FastStone Image viewer to add time stamp or Premiere CS6 to correction distortion. However, I've been unable to do both at the same time. Now I know that the CS6 has some sort of timecode feature that allows time stamp to be shown, however my time timestamp data needs to be extracted from the original meta data, whereas the timecode feature in CS6 only shows just the total length of the video, not the original date and time when data was captured. Using the FastStone allows me to show a real progression of time on data capture from beginning to end (I am working JPEG images in this case).
Now because FastStone extract the timestamp data from original images and shows them in text label format, when I tried to apply the lens correction on CS6, it would also cause distortion in the text label itself. I've tried the other way too, where I've corrected the barrel distortion in CS6 then imported the images to FastStone, but then I would lose the original metadata (the date and time of capture), FastStone is then forced to work with the modified date and time. Now usually I am working with anywhere from 1000 to 3000 images, and FastStone allows the timestamp to be added in batch conversion. It also has this feature to change time stamp to a desired or specific date and time, however, this cannot be done in a batch, but rather on individual frame or image, and thus isn't very practical when I am working with thousands of images.
So my question is if there's any way I can combine both barrel distortion and timestamp (which is using the capture data)? Thanks guys.

Thanks guys! Turns out it's CS6 is intuitive, I can just combine the two sequences into a single sequence with two different tracks with crop effect superimposed. However, it seems with the distortion correction and crop effect added, I am losing some of the details of original sequence without the distortion correction applied. What tools in CS6 can I use to get some of the clarity and vibrant colors back?

Can photoshop cc stack and align photos produced from lenses with barrel distortion

I have a series of astrophotos that include terrestrial foreground and the milky way in the background. The images were taken with a wide angle lens at f/2.8. To increase the signal to noise ratio I would like to stack the images; however, due to the rotation of the earth the position of ht milky way relative to the foreground changes in each shot. To correct for this I have imported the raw images as layers from lightroom and made a copy of all the images and transformed one copy of all the images into a smart object for stacking the foreground. On the background (sky) copy, I made a layer mask that masked out the foreground for each photo. Next I used the edit > auto-align-auto feature to align the images. Next I deleted the layer masks and stacked the images using layers > smart-object > stack mode > median and photoshop did stack the images. While the center and center top of the images did stack with a good image and an increase in the SNR, the rest of the photo came out blurred/smeared. I have tried this many times and I keep getting the same thing. Is barrel distortion causing this and if so is there anything I can do to correct for it? I am attaching a before and after photo here, so hopefully you can see what I am talking about. It is only aligning part of the sky and is just smearing the rest.

That would be my guess - that the movement of the stars between shots was enough to bring lens distortion into the equation. Which lens are you using? If it's just a simple barrel/pincushion distortion then you might be able to fix it before stacking. But anything more complicated like mustache (in case you're using the Samyang/Rokinon 14 mm) would probably lead to issues.
Even with simple barrel distortion you might run into problems. The fixes are only approximate, intended to remove visible distortion in an image when viewed as a whole. But this use is a particularly extreme test of how perfect the correction can be, I wouldn't be fully surprised if there are still sections that are out of alignment. It's an interesting problem, I'm curious to hear how it plays out. That said, I'm sure you're far from the first to do this, so perhaps visiting an astro-photographer forum would be helpful.
Personally, I'd have Lightroom apply the lens profile correction, then export all the images to Photoshop, using the same post processing. If you're using the Samyang there's a profile you can download, but it only gets it close. You may have to do a bit of manual masking on specific areas to make sure everything is as sharp as you want it.
Edit: I could see it just being a PS alignment issue. There's a lot of stars there. I'm not sure how the algorithm works, but I'd assume it just lines up a few points. If it messed up one of the points by just a tiny bit it'd probably throw off the entire image. I haven't used that function in a long time, but I remember trying to use the stacking feature back with CS5 and it did an absolutely terrible job. I've heard it has gotten better, but everyone I talked to that did focus stacking all used third party software for that stuff. Maybe there's a better program that people are using for this kind of work.

Nasty distortion out of my 5g 30 gig Ipod.

I'm getting very nasty high frequency distortion out of my Ipod. It's not the phones because I'm getting it through my AKG K701s and Shure E500s. It's not the recording because I don't get the distortion using the origonal WAV files piped via a Squeezebox to my Benchmark Dac1.
I've transferred all my files as WAV and then encoded them into ALAC in Itunes. I did this all at once with about 20 cds.
Could I have overloaded Itunes capacity or something?
Or... did I just get a lemon?

normally whenever your ipod isn't showing up under device manager or in my computer thats a bad sign..if you're still under warranty you can get this fixed for free and if you're still eligible for the free shipping and handling (which you get 180 days from the purchase date)
but the only thing that i would tell you to do is try to put the ipod into disk mode and see if that works (you can find out how to put the ipod into disk mode by doing a search for it on www.apple.com/support) once the ipod is in disk mode go ahead and connect it to the computer and see if it recognizes it...if it does go head and try to restore the ipod (you can find out how to do this by doing a search for it on www.apple.com/support)... if not then you're out of luck..
but if you have an apple store near you can try to take it into there and see if they can repair it for you or eevn replace it (both of those options at the apple store are free as long as you are within your 1 year warranty)
...hope this helps

Can I Free Transform/Distort An Object Like Photoshop?

I need to distort an object much the way one would in Photoshop with Free Transform - Distort. That's the one where you can drag the corners wherever it suits your fancy.
The closest thing in Illustrator I can find is Effect - Distort & Transform - Free Distort. But this is a lot tougher because I just get a tiny picture of a grid; you distort the corners, and hope for the best.
Is there a way in Illustrator that will allow me to do this with the actual object?
Thanks.

There's the Free Transform Tool.
Click a corner then hold down Command/Ctrl, Option/Alt, and shift then move the mouse to allow free transformations. The click-modifier-move order is important.

Deleted or cancelled "App of the Day 100% Free" App

Where did the "App of the Day 100% Free App" go? My old man's is corrupted and he needs to re-download it but it has disappeared.

Yeah, if it was available in the past, and now no longer is, then your only option is to restore it from a backup, which does not really sound like it would be feasible for you. There probably is a good reason why it is no longer available, so sounds like it might be best to just delete it entirely.
If you go to the iTunes Store (on your Computer) or go to the App Store on your device, there is a "Free App of the Week" selection on the "Featured" screen:
Maybe that's what you are looking for? No app needed!
Cheers,

comes from trying to free allocated memory that doesn't exist. This program worked before but I am not sure what would be different. There may be a bad upgrade. Anyways, I cannot make heads or tails of the backtrace and memory map. Anyone know where the offending library could be?

Since this is happening with the same program then it probably does have something to do with the program or a library, however if you have recently changed the memory in your PC then it can also cause things like this to happen. In fact, adding a certain stick of ram to my PC was the only time I've ever seen a message like this appear

Barrel distortion after import (Aperture 3.5.1)

I've noticed before now that when I import any photos to Aperture, it applies some sort of automatic adjustment the first time the photo is viewed. It's usually just a slight thing, almost as though the contrast has been put up a little bit. It's something like a 'deepening' effect on the images. It isn't anything I've set (no preset or adjustments have been applied at this point), but it nevertheless affects every photo that I import.
I just got a 35mm f/1.8 lens for my Nikon, and started testing it out by shooting in raw (.NEF), just for the fun of it. When I imported the shots to Aperture, the same effect happened as before, only much more exaggerated; higher contrast, more saturation, and a certain amount of barrel distortion seems to have been applied. I don't know if this is Aperture attempting to reduce distortion that it detects, or what it might be doing, but it definitely is doing something to alter the photo. This lens has much less distortion than I was expecting, and in-camera it performs beautifully -- but after importing to Aperture the photos take on a weird look. This is particularly a problem when shooting in raw, while JPEG shots don't seem to be effected by distortion.
Any help with this issue?
Thanks!

What you are seeing is the difference between the in-camera raw processing and lens distortion correction, that is applied to the camera generated jpeg previews, and the naked raw files, that is Aperture presenting you.
When you first import a raw image, you will see the preview generated by the camera. This preview will show all incamera processing, including Nikon's lens correction. After loading the image, Aperture will replace the camera preview by a preview rendered from the raw.
Aperture does not do lens correction to correct any barrel distortion. If you are shooting raw, you will see the naked raw without any in-camera processing applied in Aperture.
If you want to profit from Nikon's in-camera processing, import the jpegs with the highest quality setting and not thr raw files. Or use lens-correction software like the Aperture plug-in PTLens.

Opinion poll:Easiest tool or app for eliminating barrel distortion

I have 7 RAW images of paintings on walls that show some barrel distortion. I'll probably reshoot them, but in the meantime, what is your expert opinion on the easiest method to eliminate it. I have Photoshop CS 5.1, Aperture 3.x, Capture One Express Pro 7, Topaz, Elements 11, PhotoLine, and a couple others. I've never had to do this before even in my vast and eclectic experience as one of the world's premier fotogs( why am I not featured for six months in the forum sidebar?). Gotta start somewhere.

Camera Raw, set to use lens profile corrections.
One can also undistort the angles (i.e., make the paintings rectangular) pretty easily with some of the tools in the Manual section.
What I don't recall without firing up an old version of Photoshop is how much of this ability you have in your copy of Photoshop. I know you don't have the "Upright" straightening control shown in the second image above. If you can't get a barrel distortion correction, and you'd like to send me the photos, I'll be happy to run them through the modern converter for you.
Don't forget to look into the $9.99/month Photographer's bundle. Adobe actually IS doing good things to their software, making it worthwhile...

Recovery and EFI System Partitions both reading 100% Free after I Factory Reset

I own a Hp Envy dv7 Notebook PC running Windows 8 64Bit for about 1 year now. I recently did a Factory Reset, now my Recovery and EFI Partitions say 100% Free on both partitions. I used the recovery disks I made two days after I purchased computer.

Hi,
Is it "Factory Reset" you mentioned inside Windows(Change PC settings\General\Reset)? After you execute this feature, it would remove all the file in your current system drive and reinstall your system in fact. However it won't make any influence with
other drive.
In addition, generally speaking, OEM Recovery and EFI partitions should be hidden, how did you find them 100% free? I'm sorry for your loose, to fix this problem, you may need contact HP support for further assistance.

Why can't we get free aps with out an ITunes card or a credit card. We used to be able to.

Help me! I have 2 problems. My sons wifi won't connect. It says incorrect passcoad.Or no avalibel network. Also why can't we get free app with out an ITunes card or credit card. When I got my first iPhone I could get free apps with out an iTunes card or a credit card.

I believe to upgrade or an update is actually free purchases...so for billing purposes you'll need a method of payment...either a credit card, or PayPal attached to your Apple ID...NOTE, you won't be charged...it's just a part of the check and balance verification.

Is there a 100% free barrel distortion out there?
