I was looking for such an app a while ago, but didn't find one - I'll try it on some fisheye pictures I shot a while ago. I was impressed by the Fisheye Hemi plugin!

I guess DxO will be easier to use when it supports my camera. It should be possible to do adjustment of the 15mm Fisheye still, but when DxO didn't find a setting for the combination Canon 5D MkII + 15mm Fisheye things got more complicated. Guess I have to check it out again when they add 5D MkII support. My main image-handling machine is a 24" 3 GHz iMac. Not an eight core, but should manage DxO... OK.

I'll be a few months before they do the tests I suppose. http://www.dxo.com/intl/photo/dxo_optics_pro/product_editions/cameras_lenses they do WONDERS for optical and chromatic aberration correction. Just so much worth the price of the sofware (compared to your optical gear ;). http://www.dxo.com/intl?url=photo/dxo_optics_pro Here's a review by Ken Rockwell (a trusted source in photography) : http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/dxo/optics-pro.htm I've tried DxO. 2 main comments : - you have to develop your RAW files with DxO before importing them into your photo manager. I've read about scripts to automate this with Lighroom; haven't found the right ones for Aperture. - you need a lot of PROCESSING power for this, hence a desktop MacPro with 8 core might help ;) on a laptop, it's just impossible, unless you leave it working at night. but the results are SO worth it. Rather simple to use I'd say. The most complicated part is setting up the workflow right : - external storage for your pix - backup storage - development software - management software - publication platform...
