Video: How To Remove Vignetting Caused By Lens Distortion + FREE PHOTOSHOP ACTION

How To Remove Vignetting Distortion in Photoshop
As I mentioned in my 5 for $5.00 post about Spring V, I have been a little absent from my usual daily blogging here at MLC.  My sweet girl is back in preschool and so I am finding a little more time to get back to work.

Today I have a video for you on how to remove a common lens distortion called vignetting.  We all know about vignetting because at times we add it to our images to draw focus toward our subject.  While this kind of vignetting is a creative license we all take from time to time, there is a darker side (no pun intended...hardy har har) to vignetting.

Generally this kind of distortion occurs with lower level lenses, but that isn't always the case.  Take my image for example, it was taken using a Canon 5d Mark III and a mid-range 85mm  prime lens.  You can see the edges are considerably darkened.

After correcting the distortion

While it wasn't immediately apparent to me, once I ran the new (free) Correct Camera Distortion Action I am releasing today, I noticed a big improvement.  I rarely notice the vignetting problem unless it is overcast outside and I am underexposing the image.

Watch Me Fix It!

How To Install Actions In Adobe Photoshop Elements 13

How To Install Actions In Adobe® Photoshop® Elements® 13

Ready to learn how to install Actions in Adobe® Photoshop® Elements® 13?  If you are a pre Elements® 11 customer then you understand how revolutionary the switch has been from installing Actions in the effects palette to installing Actions in the Action Player.   If you are upgrading to Elements® 13 from a version prior to Elements® 11, the prepare to be shocked and awed.

There are no more thumbnails.

No more media database files to rename.

None of that nonsense.



Look at the image below.  Easy Peasy.

This new version actually mimics the way Actions are installed, stored, and loaded in the full version of Photoshop.

For a developer like me, this is amazing.  Compatibility and testing in Elements has always been pretty difficult, but now everything changes.

Can I get an Amen.

If you have a version of Elements®, that is prior to 11 and you are someone that works with Actions a lot, I recommend switching to Elements 13.  I was able to download it from Amazon for $69.99.  That is a GREAT price for any Adobe® Photoshop® product.  Amazon offers direct software downloads so there is no need to wait for boxed software to arrive or deal with CD's, etc.  It is quite a long download, at least on my iMAC so be sure to set aside some time to be sure that your internet has a continuous connection.  This process is the same as with Elements 11 and 12.  We are working to come up with a video to support those two versions specifically but this should work perfectly for you.

Let's take a look at how easy it is to install Actions in Adobe® Photoshop® Elements® 13.
