Adventures adding a new lens to Aftershot Pro
Bibble 5 and Aftershot Pro have a useful lens correction function that will fix the distortion created by a camera lens when a photo is taken. You won’t even recognise the distortion unless you’re looking for it but quite often it can look like straight lines are slightly bent or bulging. The animated gif above…
Aftershot Pro B&W Workflow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CfO0U2tXVkc Martin, over at Photoakademie.eu created a workflow video showing how a photo was processed and eventually turned into a black and white image using Aftershot Pro.
