Directly out of a camera, your digital photos will likely not be sized to the exact dimensions you need. Between different shaped screens, web pages, social networks, and prints, it’s common to change the shape and size of an image. Inside of Aurora HDR 2019 you have options such as cropping which changes the shape of a photo, and transforming which scales the image inside the canvas. You can use these choices individually or in combination to achieve the desired results. Additionally, a photo can be transformed to counteract lens issues.
Cropping a Photo
With the Crop tool you can change a viewer’s perception of an image. You can choose to tighten the area of interest, which allows you to de-emphasize (or even eliminate) parts of a photo and improve the image by better framing the subject. An additional benefit is that the Crop tool can also be used to align (straighten) the horizon in an image.
Additional Options When Cropping
Inside the Crop tool, you’ll find a few other useful commands.
Transforming a Layer
Once you’ve merged brackets, opened a photo, or added a new layer to a document, it’s easy to transform it. With the Transform tool there are many options available for changing the position, rotation, and scale of a layer.
Applying Lens Correction to a Layer
The new Lens Correction command easily fixes all kinds of lens distortion, from barrel and pincushion to chromatic aberration and vignetting. This is a useful way to compensate for flaws caused by the lens.
The image on the left shows darkening along the outer edges caused by the lens. The image on the right has had its edges lightened with the Devignette command. If you want a stylistic vignette, use the Vignette filter.
