ShiftN Automatically Adjusts Vertical Line Distortion In Landscape/Building Photographs

CUsersTestDesktopesb1.jpg-ShiftN.jpg

If you have a lot of images and photographs of buildings and landscapes, some of them might be tilted a little to the side. Converging lines in architectural images of tall buildings are a common fault that occurs due to the different perspective of the photographer and the camera lens while taking the picture. This makes the shots look unnatural when the vertical lines get distorted, even when using professional SLR cameras. This problem can be solved using special lenses designed for the job, but they are too expensive  for everyone to afford. If you want your pictures to look professional and don’t have the resources to spend too much on photography equipment, try ShiftN. It is an application for Windows that automatically fixes the line distortion effect without forcing you to make any effort. More on ShiftN after the break.

With hundreds of new viruses being created each day, it is possible for your PC to get infected even if you have an antivirus installed on your system.

So, the virus will keep on doing what it is supposed to do, no matter how many times you restart your PC. Today, we have a tool called FireTower that can be a lot of help to you in tackling this issue. It is an application for Windows that performs an analysis of all existing auto-run settings and automatically validates the legitimacy of the auto-run entries through a web validation check.
