The Best Method of Defishing a Fisheye Photo

[@zediogoamareleja]

This is a great tutorial that fix a bunch of problems coming from fisheye lens. Your knowledge and time spent teaching all of us is highly apreciated. Big thank you

[@udipta21]

Wow! You and Forrest Tanaka are the best astrophotographers out there.

[@robtokar3122]

Bravo Man, you are one of the better presenters I have come across, you are articulate and you know your flow, well done.

[@larcolt]

Thank you! You’ve done an amazing job of showing different methods.

[@patriciadowney7884]

Thank you so much for this very informative, fantastic video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@penkatadrums]

This is like the best video I have seen in my life. This dude is very intelligent.

[@norbertalexy8803]

Hi Ian, thank you so much for this! straightforward explanations & extrememly helpful. I ran into it, because I just bought a TTartisan 7.5mm/f2 and now I'm collecting all kinds of info around diagonal und circular fisheye lenses. Yours was definitely among the best and most inspiring (especially the reach beyond astro). - Thank you!!!

[@s.l.3918]

but sadly fisheye-hemi does not work anymore... at least for windows :(

[@Somosoterocheney]

This is a great explainer. I wonder if there's an updated approach?

[@michaelb.8290]

Very good video Ian. Thanks a lot!

[@DerVagabundli]

I was thinking content aware fill for the middle road part. Could work well for the fairly homogenous road in the hemi image, would be interesting to see how that looks.

[@MrArslanabd]

thanks mate, it was one of the best defishing tutorial on youtube

[@m.simmons7149]

I've been contemplating adding a fisheye lens, but have found the lens correction profiles in Lightroom to be a bit lacking. This video really helps. Thank you!

[@fotocri1971]

You can't imagine how much I liked this tutorial. Thanks a Lot ;-)

[@BoazYoffe]

Many thanks for this thorough tutorial, much appreciated

[@kooklapanda7594]

I was hesitating to either get this lens or 12mm f2… I wanted both at first but now I don't need the 12mm since I can just buy the Fisheye-Hemi Plugin!! SOoooo Big THANKS TO YOU!!!!

[@stephenstenchever5002]

Definitely going to try this. I have the Rokinon 8mm f3.5 and I love the detail it can pick up, but can't stand the amounts of distortion. Thanks for sharing!

[@fitou143]

Thanks for the video I have been looking into getting a fish eye lens but was concerned about to much distortion in the image, your video has been a great help, thanks.

[@Mumatwork]

Brilliant tutorial, thank you. 👍🏼

[@vanquishchicago]

man you are very good at explaining things you should be a teacher

[@uweinhamburg]

Excellent! One of the best YT tutorials i have ever watched. Thanks :)

[@AlvaroMenezes]

Great content. Thanks for sharing. It took away the doubts I had about buying or not a fisheye.

[@lesleyburdett]

Awesome tips. Thanks for sharing.

[@Passio7Jd]

This idea is awesome, thanks for sharing Ian!

[@Passio7Jd]

Actually, this video made me rethinking of buying that samyang 8mm fisheye instead of the 10mmf2.8 ultra wide angle, which is a bit more expensive :D

[@XavierLAC]

Those photos are tremendous.

[@MattLephoto]

Great vid. Adaptive Wide Angle I think is more of a versatile tool than using the Distortion effect.

[@madaucer]

Damn! Awesome stuff.. Love your videos!

[@fredmiu2001]

Amazing tutorial...Very well done & big thanks.

[@JesusChristIsLord__]

I regretted getting the 8mm Samyang because of the distortion, which I wasn't able to find a satisfactory way to fix. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video! You, sir, are my hero!!! Thank you!!! Liked and Subbed !!

[@Daniel-o1l2e]

Great work!

[@enriquegardemartin743]

Great Video , well explain ,thank you so much

[@ddds9921]

i just bought rokinon 12mm fisheye lense ,i will use your method for astrophotography.thankssss.

[@LonelySpeck]

A great lens! probably my favorite for APS-C mirrorless cameras!

[@tombic6373]

Thanks for this valuable video showing how to improve the fisheye hemi product and how to achieve the same good effect using Photoshop (with perhaps less required effort and time than with hemi). The fisheye hemi plug in is useful but it needs some improving as you succeed in showing. I hope the fisheye hemi engineers learn from your video.

[@lespertzel7055]

great tutorial

[@munindro06]

awesome stuff bro. you nailed it.

[@xaGe__]

This should have more likes! I don't care for the plugin, but the other information you share is well worth the watch. Lens profiles work "ok", but manually defishing your fisheye images is fairly easy and quick and can yield much greater results.

[@djayfriMusic]

Dude! This was so helpful. Im using the samyang 8mm with the sony a7m2 in combo with fisheye hemi alot. The ony problems I had with it u just solved for me, making this lens a 100 time more worth for astro. Many many thanks to u! Really nice productions btw.

[@danieldemayo6209]

Very cool. Amazing picture by the way haha

[@bartoszmadejski6099]

Thanks for this video, it was very helpful and just made me want to go out and shoot more!

[@Joey_Tai]

Thx for this very good tutorial.

[@RASSAMAHA]

amazing results, a 100% reason to buy the 8mm for my Sony A7!

[@RASSAMAHA]

***** hi, can you tell me more exactly what you meen? which exactly one do you mean and why its better to wait for it? Thank you!

[@SevenK16]

so use fisheye hemi if u doing timelapses. use the warp tool if u doing it to just a couple pictures. got it. thanks!

[@bassplayer60]

Thank you so much Ian, your video was so helpful to me! Aloha and Mahalo!

[@holloch]

Thanks for the great video! Would it be possible to estimate the equivalent focal length obtained after you defish on both axes? I am trying to understand how a wide-angle lens (e.g. Samyang's own 12mm lens for cropped sensors) compares to the results, once defished and cropped.

[@mlaneprod]

Great video. Thanks

[@harrivayrynen]

Good information!

[@MikeSpille]

Great job! Thank you!

[@judmcc]

Good. I've done the lens correction method before but didn't like the results because of the stretching.

[@pixelmasque]

best tutorial out there on fisheye

[@mikaelwardhana2839]

Very informative tutorial. Thank you for making this :)

[@VladimirLadev]

So you say the plug-in basically corrects the image with less cropped areas. How does it compare to the built in Adaptive Wide Angle Fillter in PS CC. I get pretty good results without getting overbord, and I can straighten every plane I need without modifying the canvas size. Awesome video by the way, pictures look amazing.

[@osomax]

Good job man!!!!

[@christiancantarutti6370]

Thank you, I shot myself in the foot for some Real Estate pics and had to use JPEGS from a 360 virtual tour I did to showcase a bothroom. It still looks kinda funky, but miles ahead of where I was.

[@donlotnukunuku]

Greats tutorial. thanks

[@pawel-951]

great video,really helpful,thank you!!

[@jjookkeerr6699]

great method! thanks.

[@harshithajain6578]

thank you so much for this video!

[@FrankNeulichedl]

Have you tried to use the adaptive wide angle filter in Photoshop. It's been the for years to exactly do this work. Much easier IMHO

[@ronstar8857]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing your knowledge as well as your stunning astro images. Beautiful work!

[@plve82]

That is Brilliant! I want to get a fish eye lens now!

[@danielxmiller]

This was amazing

[@EdmontonRails]

will this work well with an Opteka 6.5mm f3.5 Aspherical Fisheye Lens? +Lonely Speck

[@flyassqbn]

Hey there, I love this method you've developed, but i can't seem to mimic your results. Im using a 6.5mm f3.5 opteka lens on a crop sensor DSLR. is it possible your results differ with a crop sensor and cheap lens?? if you have any tips id greatly appreciate it! when i attempt to get shots like yours in the street. the verticals never get perfectly straight they're either noticeably bowed in or out. I have better luck with the horizon but even that isn't perfect.

[@schoolboyjordan]

I'm actually looking to get a rokinon for my T2i, you think you can do a tutorial for heavy light pollution, as i'm located on an island its pretty hard to avoid the light

[@Crotoua]

Brillant, thanks

[@bear5016]

Wow! you just solved my $4,000 problem! Im very impressed with your sly tactics of PS.

[@LonelySpeck]

wow! $4000?! what was the problem?

[@bear5016]

The problem was the $4000. Basically camera equipment I WANT and dont NEED. Using this method will take a little practice, but more than worth it for a hobbyist. Opted for a used 10.5mm fisheye ($280) + this method for wide angle shots vs. $2k D750 and a $2k 24mm 1.4 wide angle lens. Its obviously not perfect, but close enough and WAY cheaper.

[@mars4ever]

About the horizontal lines, can't you simply rotate the image or the filter mask by 90°?

[@LonelySpeck]

Not with this plugin.

[@patoss92]

GREAT. Thanks a lot

[@santaellamedia7077]

hi, thanks for the awesome review! I am using a ff rokinon 12mm 2.8 with a canon 5d iii. I had my camera level when taking a photo of a room filled with people...... I am new to photoshop, but I am having trouble making the image improved using fisheye hemi.. Any suggestions? Is it a lot harder when people are present?

[@DTMtarik]

Dude you are a genius!

[@curhob]

Interesting... I had seen photos that looked like this, and I wondered what that effect was. I eventually found that it was barrel distortion from certain camera lenses.

[@mattdrown2026]

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! My (Samyang 7.5mm) fish-eye lens will be a lot more versatile using your methods and I'll get even more money's worth out of it.

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Thank you.

[@Gani420ify]

What music you used bro, it's very peaceful.

[@rcpmac]

Good stuff even 6 years later

[@seongyunjeong5134]

what is the version of the photoshop??? I currently use CC2015 and I could not find image trends inc in the filter menu

[@AlexWilkinsonYYC]

That was awesome.

[@lyanbv]

is there a fisheye hemi for video & gopro superview?

[@frednorman1]

But adjusting via the Edit> Warp won’t work for timelapses with hundreds of photos, only single photos? Or is there a way to batch edit these changes in Photoshop?

[@insalatacosmica]

Via Ps need you need a script to apply to all pics...

[@Casparsui]

Where did you shoot the time-lapse footage at the beginning of the video?

[@nueschi]

brilliant!

[@kbqvist]

Great tip! Thanks :-)

[@rubenmunozgonzalez2870]

Thanks! Great tutorial! I just have a question, I'm new at this and I wanted to know in which format should I save the photo after doing the correction in PS so I can then start editing the photo in LR? I see there is a RAW photoshop format...

[@proksalevente]

TIFF!

[@johnlo8285]

hi Ian, Q: do u think DX camera can make it milky galaxy like u do. how? 30"f2.8 6400 (nikkor 50mm f1.8 FX prime lense)

[@paulcrawley7321]

Scary clever

[@benisaac5359]

Thanks heaps for the video Ian!! I just got the Rokinon 8mm for my Xpro1 and have a couple quick questions if you don't mind? Does the warp tool method decrease image sharpness or quality compared to fisheye hemi? I have played with the trial fisheye hemi but find it a bit more difficult compared to myself just using the warp tool as in your video. And secondly, if say you were doing a massive star trail stack or even just stacking a milky way shot with a sharper foreground shot, would you defish each image before stacking or just defish the final stack? Thanks, Ben

[@dabj9546]

Defish after if you still care

[@BemCorrido]

Muito bom!!!

[@nethovenable]

perfect!

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

This is genius!

Thanks a lot 😉

[@JuhaKoski]

What happens if instead of making the canvas bigger you just rotate the image 90 degrees and then run the plugin?

[@SnogSpit]

i was thinking the same thing....

[@dejayrezme8617]

Sorry I have no clue, but doesn't this mean you're using the wrong software? Or said differently, that you need a better software to do what you want to do? Can luminar do this better? Davinci resolve?

[@galactic_kiwi]

Why not just rotate the image 90 degrees, de-fish and then rotate back again?

[@galactic_kiwi]

Or even just use a rectilinear super wide angle lens to start with.

[@Ni5ei]

5'18" Because the way the defishing works is relative to the position of the image on the canvas. That's why he moves it up after the first try in the first example.

[@spbalance]

Defishing fisheye photos allows for an even wider angle than the widest rectilinear lenses allow.

[@ninalong110]

can this method be used on a video?

[@ClownEdits]

really helpfull

[@pitcheung5354]

Now i can buy a fisheye lens for me! Thank you sir!!!

[@donjjjordan]

how can I add fisheye Hemi to CC 2017

[@j.adanga9787]

Hi I'm a photoshop monthly license subscriber. How do I obtain this plug-in? do you have a recommended seller?

[@dopamining7621]

The lens profile method produces uselessly low-quality results; the warp method seems much much simpler than the the Fisheye Hemi method. Thanks a lot for this.

[@robertberg3522]

Awsome! Thank you :-)

[@mikemccartneyable]

Super video
