‏Also got a pedantic sense of aesthetics? Plane App allows you to capture minimalist photos of building façades. Straight lines stay straight in a fully automated way. Get rid of perspective effects and radial lens distortions on the fly. Discover the hidden beauty of every city with #planeapp. Plane App uses computer vision algorithms to detect planes that are framed by orthogonal lines. Rectifying your camera feed in real time enables you to see how your photo will turn out before even capturing it. The algorithm does not only correct perspective effects but also radial lens distortion. That way, the straightness of lines in your scene will be preserved in your final photo. Just zoom out and see the actual transformation that is applied or let Plane App crop your photos to their ideal frame. You think you can do better than the algorithm? Drag the markers to four corner points of your object in order to refine the automatic correction. You've got these amazing pictures of ancient façades from your last trip to Rome on your DSLR? Just import them to Plane App and transform them to minimalist pieces of art. And of course you can directly share them with your friends and followers.

Straighten leaning buildings in one tap, and keep your HDR. Shoot a building from street level and a wide-angle lens makes the walls lean inward. AutoAlign solves for the exact angle the shot was taken at and reverses it, so verticals stand straight without the stretched look other tools leave behind. No tripod, no tilt-shift lens. NEW IN 3.1 • An advanced perspective engine built on true camera geometry, the mathematics professional desktop tools are built on. Straight lines come back straight, proportions stay true, and nothing is stretched to fake it. • Horizontal keystone too. A skewed facade is squared, not just converging verticals. • Not just buildings. Billboards, posters, documents, whiteboards and artwork straighten automatically as well. • Manual Fix for anything the automatic pass cannot read. It works on any four corners, so drag them onto the subject and the perspective flattens square. • Cropping, built in, at full resolution. • A new look, built around the photo. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a photo, or edit straight from the Photos app. 2. AutoAlign corrects it automatically. Pick Full, or Vertical only. 3. Decide what happens to the empty corners straightening leaves behind: Keep them, Fill them, or Cut them off. Trim sky and foreground too, if you want. 4. Crop, compare before and after, save. WHAT IT KEEPS • HDR. The gain map is corrected alongside the photo, so brightness and colour survive intact. • EXIF, GPS, timestamps and camera settings. • Your original. Every edit is revertible from the Photos app. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: the full correction, Manual Fix, and cropping. Exports at reduced resolution with a watermark. Premium: full-resolution and HDR export, no watermark. Monthly, yearly, or a one-time purchase. MADE FOR Architecture, real estate, interiors, cityscapes and travel, plus billboards, posters, documents or artwork photographed at an angle. NOTE Automatic correction works best where the scene has clear straight edges. Where it does not, Manual Fix always does.
