System RequirementsPTLens runs under Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista with a monitor resolution of at least 1024x768 (DPI 96). You may also run PTLens on Unix under a Windows simulator. The plug-in version works with Photoshop version 6 and above, all versions of Photoshop Elements, and the German FixFoto. Although PTLens is compatible with Photoshop 5, Paint Shop Pro, and Irfanview camera make, model, lens, and focal length must be manually specified as these applications do not supply EXIF information to plug-ins. |
System RequirementsPTLens runs on Intel Mac computers under Mac OS 10.5.2 (Leopard) or later with a monitor resolution of at least 1280x800. The Aperture plug-in is compatible with Aperture 2.1 or later. The Lightroom external editor runs on Lightroom 2.0 or later. For software that runs on both Intel and PPC machines consider my friendly competitor: LensFix. |
Zip Compressed ArchivesFiles that end with a ".zip" suffix are zip archives. A zip archive is simply a file that contains other files. To download and unzip the archive for the PTLens installation do the following:
Please view the ReadMe.html file for installation instructions. |
DMG Compressed ArchivesFiles that end with a ".dmg" suffix are disk images that contain other files. When you download a DMG file it will appear as an extra drive on your desktop and Finder will automatically open to display the contents of the DMG file. To install software drag the files to the appropriate installation directory. For example, to install the standalone version drag file PTLens.app to the /Applications directory. An /Applications directory link is provided for your convenience. Please view the ReadMe.rtf file for installation instructions. When installation is finished close the Finder window, Control-click on the DMG drive that's on your desktop, and choose Eject. The original DMG file, stored in your Downloads folder, may be deleted after installation. |
If PTLens does not recognize your camera or lens you can help. Calibrations for cameras and lenses are based on images submitted by users. You submit the images and I'll do the calibration for free. If you plan to submit images be sure to read instructions for taking calibration images.

Help (Mac). The Mac help file is in PDF format. Unfortunately PDF files do not display foreign (non-English) text in a satisfactory manner. For this reason the Mac help file is only available in English.
In addition to PTLens, the following applications can access the PTLens database: BreezeBrowser Pro (PC), Radcor (PC), and LensFix (Mac). Download the latest database and consult with your vendor for installation instructions.
