June 19, 2008 — Image Trends announces the release of the Fisheye-Hemi Plug-In for Aperture 2.1, Apple’s groundbreaking photo editing and management software. The Fisheye-Hemi Plug-In filter set provides correction for hemispheric fisheye lens distortion, working seamlessly within Aperture's photo editing and management environment. Photographers can now easily preserve a normal view of people by not distorting their faces and bodies, as the plug-in straightens vertical lines. Fisheye-Hemi Plug-In uses almost all of the pixel data in that view with no loss of image resolution while displaying the intended composition and framing better than other un-warping programs.

The Fisheye-Hemi Plug-In is also available for Photoshop on Mac and Windows based machines. The Mac user will now have a choice of purchasing the Fisheye-Hemi Plug-In for Adobe Photoshop or Aperture. Each plug-in is priced at US$29.95. New customers that want the Fisheye-Hemi technology in both Photoshop and Aperture will receive a 50% discount on the second copy applied at time of purchase. Existing users of the Mac version of Fisheye-Hemi for Photoshop will be notified by ITI of the opportunity to purchase the Aperture version at a 50% discount.
