Fish Eye Normalizer

If you are interested in shooting landscapes or create surreal images, then few things raise up to the level of fish eye lenses. In addition to the magnificent snow globe effect, the lenses also preserve the quality and clarity of the picture.

Then again, sometimes you could just end up with a slight curve effect on the edges, a little detail that could easily become an unwanted distraction to the viewer. Fish Eye Normalizer is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to correct this blunder and cut excess edges that might ruin your image.

The application comes with a minimalistic and clean interface that enables you to switch between single image and batch processing modes. The main window is as simple as it gets and user-friendly, especially since correcting the fisheye effect is done automatically by accessing the dedicated function from the Image menu.

You should know that the application works with the common file formats, namely JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, GIF and WMF. The larger the image is, the more time the utility requires to process it.

In case you are experimenting with the lenses, but believe that you can salvage some of the photos you already taken, then you can employ the app and normalize the effect on all the desired pictures. You will be happy to learn that the utility enables you to preview the before and after side-by-side, so you can decide whether the correction fixed your problem.

However, the app does not come with an undo or redo function and hence, make sure you save the original images to another location. As a side note, the application does not support drag and drop, a feature that can surely come in handy especially when you want to batch process photos that you stored in multiple directories.

Even though fisheye lenses can help you obtain once-in-a-lifetime images, it can also become an unnecessary distraction in the photo composition. If this is the case with some of your pictures, then perhaps Fish Eye Normalizer can lend you a hand.
