• Automatic perspective correction. Automatically analyzes the image and applies perspective corrections based on EXIF metadata and lens profiles. Detects architectural lines and horizons to make precise adjustments without manual intervention.
• Lens distortion correction. Eliminates barrel and pincushion distortions using the most extensive lens calibration database on the market. Includes profiles for over 45,000 camera and lens combinations.
• Face volume correction. Compensates for the face-widening effect that occurs when using wide-angle lenses for portraits. Maintains natural facial proportions without distorting other areas of the image.
• Horizon tool. Straightens tilted horizons with sub-pixel precision through automatic detection or manual adjustment. Allows rotational corrections in increments of 0.01 degrees.
• Manual perspective transformation. Full control over vertical and horizontal corrections via control point adjustments. Allows selective distortion of specific areas of the image.
• Building scheme correction. Solves the effect of converging vertical lines in architecture. Adjusts parallelism of structures while maintaining the true proportions of the buildings.
• Smart crop tool. Automatically crops transparent areas generated during perspective transformations. Uses content-aware algorithms to maintain the original composition.
• Miniaturization correction. Neutralizes the tilt-shift effect that creates images with a model-like appearance. Restores the perception of natural depth in landscape and architectural photographs.
• Batch processing. Batch processing with application of identical settings to multiple images. Maintains correction settings for repetitive workflows.
• Integration with Adobe Lightroom. Functions as a plugin within Lightroom Classic via direct connection. Allows image editing without leaving the Adobe working environment.
• Split comparison mode. Displays the original and corrected version simultaneously in a split interface. Allows viewing before and after changes in real-time.
• Customizable presets. Creates and stores preset adjustments for different types of corrections. Exports and imports settings between different workstations.

DxO ViewPoint was initially developed by the French company DxO Labs. The first version was released in 2007 as part of the DxO Optics Pro suite. The processing engine is written in C++ with assembler optimizations for mathematical operations. The geometric correction algorithms are based on patented optical calibration research. The lens profile database contains laboratory measurements of over 45,000 camera and lens combinations.
