Fisheye-Hemi is a set of Photoshop plug-in filters which provide correction for hemispheric fisheye lens distortion. Three unique filters are installed under the Filters Menu of your application to address 8mm fisheye, 10.5mm fisheye, and 15/16mm fisheye on APS size digital sensors, or the equivalent coverage with other size cameras.
Fisheye Hemispheric lenses in the hands of a photographer provide an expanded view of the world across approximately a 180 degree diagonal field. Until now, the primary option available to the photographer was to render these fisheye images using rectilinear mapping techniques. These methods have many drawbacks, such as distortion of people near the perimeter and loss of resolution and data. Although the image is similar to what is seen by the eye, printed, the images appear distorted.

Fisheye-Hemi offers an aesthetically pleasing and natural view of the image using a unique mapping technology! Fisheye-Hemi provides a more normal view of people by not distorting their faces and bodies, improves the resolution of the image, displays the intended composition and framing, and straightens vertical lines.

The most important requirement for Fisheye-Hemi is to not distort people, no matter where they are in the image. The faces and bodies must appear as normal as possible; given it is a fisheye lens! The Fisheye-Hemi Plug-In preserves the people.

Another important feature of Fisheye-Hemi is the clarity of the mapping. A rectilinear mapping will discard approximately one third of the pixels and crop to the center along the horizontal axis. The photographer paid for a lens to capture up to 180 degrees and much of the data is discarded in a rectilinear view. Fisheye-Hemi uses almost all of the pixels. A rectilinear view will shrink the center of the image which has the most detail. Fisheye-Hemi preserves this detail by using advanced mathematics to preserve all of the content of the original fisheye image.

Additionally, a rectilinear projection discards much of the framing of the image as composed by the photographer through fisheye lens. Fisheye-Hemi preserves all of this framing; what was seen on the top and bottom of the image in the viewfinder is included in the processed image.

Fisheye-Hemi works with any image application that is Photoshop filter compatible. These applications include: Photoshop 7 and above including CS5, Photoshop Elements 2 and above including Elements 9, and Corel Paint Shop Pro 7 and above including Paint Shop Pro X3.
