the upgrade to v4 for $45 ... if it makes my coffee in the morning

I've been trying out the trial version. Better than my recollection of the
first version. Esp the auto functions.
On photos with the Voigtländer "Hyper-Wide" Heliar 10/5.6, the basic correction does almost nothing, same as in their
Photolab, as the lens is well corrected. Volume deformation correction with H and V correction works well.
With diagonal correction, it improves the natural look of corners - but bends straight lines further in, even slightly
in the center. That's a definite non-starter for many images. Once I got into doing lots of perspective corrections
examples, I did find a couple where diagonal worked, and was helpful.
Perspective correction is another matter. Once I got into looking at it, I realized how much post time I spend on
perspective correction. I tried it on 35+ images, of a wide range of subjects. I'd say AUTO Mode nailed over 80%, and
simple manipulation of the sliders brought that up to almost all.
The combination of volume correction and perspective correction did a really
good job on some.
I started out with an image that perhaps nothing can really correct, and was skeptical. As I tried image after image,
and recalled with some my time and effort to correct them another way, I came to the conclusion that it would save me
oodles of time, so I bought it.
One oddity, which I'll bug them about is that mostly, one may not do both DxO lens correction and perspective correction
at once. I had to do one, save, then do the other. May be only in the PS plug-in.
