It has a single license for four applications:
* A version integrated in DxO PhotoLab (and DxO OpticsPro)
* An independent version (standalone)
* An external module (plug-in) for Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Lightroom
* Modul for Nik Collection; Perspective efex
* In the integrated version in PhotoLab, the tools are available via two palettes.
– “Geometry” palette: Horizon, cropping and distortion settings (basic in PhotoLab)
– “ViewPoint” palette: The other settings specific to ViewPoint
Only this version benefits from parametric processing without leaving the raw workflow.
Which allows it to resume corrections after registration.
* The ViewPoint independent version opens JPEG or TIFF images (8 and 16 bits).
* How to Develop a Photo and Correct Perspective with ViewPoint, Plug-In for Adobe:

ViewPoint and Nik Perspective Efex
The Nik Collection suite by DxO integrates the Perspective Efex module, usable in independent version (standalone) or as a plug-in for Photoshop or Lightroom.
This module is directly derived from ViewPoint : the functionalities and the interface are identical. Consequently, this tutorial also applies to Perspective Efex.
