"Fisheye" Effect when shooting in RAW?

[WinNut]

Hi guys! 

 

 

So I've noticed that when shooting on my camera in RAW, there is a slight "fisheye" effect whilst in the same photo exported as .JPG, it does not exist.

 

Here's an example:

 

^See how the wall appears flat?^ (JPG)

 

^Why does it appear like this in RAW?^

 

How would I go about flattening it so that my photos look right?

 

 

Thanks!

use AE

Probably slightly fisheyed lens fixed by post processing

He beat me to the chase. But yeah, fisheye is present in all lenses. It's just a fact of the nature of the lens. 

 

There are many after-effect programs that can solve this issue, and if you need, I can link in a couple.

This is called barrel distortion and it happens in most, if not all, lenses. As mentioned above it is likely due to post processing.

 

Lightroom can do its best to fix that distortion if you check "Enable Profile Corrections" (it extracts camera and lens information from the RAW file to correct it). In Photoshop, it is under Filters > Lens Corrections

+1 for lightroom 

 

Great photography software

I was speaking to the OP, but I can see where 'he' is coming from.

 

Also, I don't like your binary joke, and I didn't google it...

Unfortunately I didn't do all that, I used a tool as that would take far too long to translate out.

You did quote my response 

 

Its just a joke my friend, not an insult  Most do google it

 

Although kudos to you! One of my favorite films, you get 50 (worthless) brownie points

 

I fart in your general direction

Those two photos look like they're exhibiting the same barrel distortion to me, though it's hard to tell since they're cropped differently.

DXO optics pro is fantastic for cleaning this kind of thing up though, I love it

1. It's not called fisheye effect
2. It's a lens distortion  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_%28optics%29
3. It can be fixed in post using Photoshop, Lightroom, DxO Optics Pro and other photo editing tools, either with the use of camera+lens profiles if available or with the distortion correction sliders.

Here are some tutorials on how to correct them

use AE

 

AE is a motion graphics tool for video production, NOT a photo editing tool.

 

As mentioned above it is likely due to post processing.

 

Post processing does NOT cause lens distortion.  Unless it is deliberately applied.

 

 fisheye is present in all lenses. It's just a fact of the nature of the lens.

 

Distortion is present in most lenses.  Only a fisheye lens presents a fisheye effect.

Was referring to the JPEG having no barrel distortion.

[boarder2k7]

Curiosity question, is this when outputting jpg vs raw straight from the camera or when post converting? Does your camera have built in lens distortion correction?
