Does anyone use Piccure+
In photography it is always expensive one-trick ponies... Or at least the one-trick ponies are always expensive. Some people need 36 MP sensors, others don't. Some people need a 1,500 USD lens, others go with the kit lens. Some people fancy with a Zeiss Otus, others just think it is ridiculous to spend as much on a lens as others spend on cars. For people of the first categories such tools come in handy. For people of the second category it appears like a waste of money.Decision wise: if you just spend $3000 on a camera and a lens - it may actually not be entirely stupid to use software like that if it can actually correct optical aberrations that can otherwise not be corrected for 1/30th of your equipment's price-tag... And I do not want to argue with "whether that makes sense or not" - it's a personal decision. But except for the Zeiss Otus and the Sigma - there are very few to no lenses which are actually "quite usable in terms of sharpness" at open/fast apertures. Just check DPReview. So why would anybody buy a 1500 USD lens in the first place?
And btw: it fully integrates into LR, PS CC and PSE.
Best,

PS: Well, it may actually be of equal use for kit-lens users as for users of expensive lenses... So maybe I was wrong about my assumption that only "professional photographers" would use such a tool.

A 14-day free trial is offered. One is tempted to check it out and compare to other tools.
In the meantime, it appears to be an expensive one-trick-pony, and/or a solution in search of a problem.
