With  the 2.2.1 update, we introduce a new feature - lens correction, which automatically  fixes distortion, chromatic aberration and vignetting.

By default,  it will be enabled after you update your app to 2.2.1. You can disable/enable it anytime. In Photolemur, lens correction is applied only to those photos where it's needed and it won't  affect any well-taken photos, so you can just leave it on all the time.

What is lens distortion correction?

Lens correction is a set of fixes for such common issues as distortion, chromatic aberration and vignetting. 

Distortion usually appears  on images taken with wide lenses and causes  objects to look different in size and shape to how they actually look in real life.

Straight lines appear  curved because the field of view of the lens is much wider than the size of the image sensor.

Chromatic aberration causes objects on photos be framed with  yellow and pink lines. It happens because  of  light being refracted differently while passing through the lens. As a result, it does not coincide with the focal length. 

Vignetting is caused by optics and looks like black corners on an image.

Photolemur's lens photo correction fixes all these issues completely absolutely automatically.
