This is a great tutorial that fix a bunch of problems coming from fisheye lens. Your knowledge and time spent teaching all of us is highly apreciated. Big thank you
Wow! You and Forrest Tanaka are the best astrophotographers out there.
man you are very good at explaining things you should be a teacher
Definitely going to try this. I have the Rokinon 8mm f3.5 and I love the detail it can pick up, but can't stand the amounts of distortion. Thanks for sharing!
I regretted getting the 8mm Samyang because of the distortion, which I wasn't able to find a satisfactory way to fix. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video! You, sir, are my hero!!! Thank you!!! Liked and Subbed !!
Thank you! You’ve done an amazing job of showing different methods.
Thank you so much for this very informative, fantastic video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hi Ian, thank you so much for this! straightforward explanations & extrememly helpful. I ran into it, because I just bought a TTartisan 7.5mm/f2 and now I'm collecting all kinds of info around diagonal und circular fisheye lenses. Yours was definitely among the best and most inspiring (especially the reach beyond astro). - Thank you!!!

but sadly fisheye-hemi does not work anymore... at least for windows :(
Bravo Man, you are one of the better presenters I have come across, you are articulate and you know your flow, well done.
You can't imagine how much I liked this tutorial. Thanks a Lot ;-)
Great vid. Adaptive Wide Angle I think is more of a versatile tool than using the Distortion effect.
Many thanks for this thorough tutorial, much appreciated
I was thinking content aware fill for the middle road part. Could work well for the fairly homogenous road in the hemi image, would be interesting to see how that looks.
Thanks for the video I have been looking into getting a fish eye lens but was concerned about to much distortion in the image, your video has been a great help, thanks.
This is like the best video I have seen in my life. This dude is very intelligent.
I was hesitating to either get this lens or 12mm f2… I wanted both at first but now I don't need the 12mm since I can just buy the Fisheye-Hemi Plugin!! SOoooo Big THANKS TO YOU!!!!
Brilliant tutorial, thank you. 👍🏼
Excellent! One of the best YT tutorials i have ever watched. Thanks :)
I've been contemplating adding a fisheye lens, but have found the lens correction profiles in Lightroom to be a bit lacking. This video really helps. Thank you!
Amazing tutorial...Very well done & big thanks.
Thanks for this video, it was very helpful and just made me want to go out and shoot more!
Great content. Thanks for sharing. It took away the doubts I had about buying or not a fisheye.
Those photos are tremendous.
Awesome tips. Thanks for sharing.
Dude! This was so helpful. Im using the samyang 8mm with the sony a7m2 in combo with fisheye hemi alot. The ony problems I had with it u just solved for me, making this lens a 100 time more worth for astro. Many many thanks to u! Really nice productions btw.
thanks mate, it was one of the best defishing tutorial on youtube
Great Video , well explain ,thank you so much
This idea is awesome, thanks for sharing Ian!

Actually, this video made me rethinking of buying that samyang 8mm fisheye instead of the 10mmf2.8 ultra wide angle, which is a bit more expensive :D
Thank you so much Ian, your video was so helpful to me! Aloha and Mahalo!
i just bought rokinon 12mm fisheye lense ,i will use your method for astrophotography.thankssss.

Thx for this very good tutorial.
Damn! Awesome stuff.. Love your videos!
amazing results, a 100% reason to buy the 8mm for my Sony A7!

***** hi, can you tell me more exactly what you meen? which exactly one do you mean and why its better to wait for it? Thank you!
This should have more likes! I don't care for the plugin, but the other information you share is well worth the watch. Lens profiles work "ok", but manually defishing your fisheye images is fairly easy and quick and can yield much greater results.
Thanks for this valuable video showing how to improve the fisheye hemi product and how to achieve the same good effect using Photoshop (with perhaps less required effort and time than with hemi). The fisheye hemi plug in is useful but it needs some improving as you succeed in showing. I hope the fisheye hemi engineers learn from your video.
awesome stuff bro. you nailed it.
great tutorial
Greats tutorial. thanks
Thanks for the great video! Would it be possible to estimate the equivalent focal length obtained after you defish on both axes? I am trying to understand how a wide-angle lens (e.g. Samyang's own 12mm lens for cropped sensors) compares to the results, once defished and cropped.
Brillant, thanks
Thank you, I shot myself in the foot for some Real Estate pics and had to use JPEGS from a 360 virtual tour I did to showcase a bothroom. It still looks kinda funky, but miles ahead of where I was.
great method! thanks.
Good information!
Very cool. Amazing picture by the way haha
Very informative tutorial. Thank you for making this :)
GREAT. Thanks a lot
Wow! you just solved my $4,000 problem! Im very impressed with your sly tactics of PS.

The problem was the $4000. Basically camera equipment I WANT and dont NEED. Using this method will take a little practice, but more than worth it for a hobbyist. Opted for a used 10.5mm fisheye ($280) + this method for wide angle shots vs. $2k D750 and a $2k 24mm 1.4 wide angle lens. Its obviously not perfect, but close enough and WAY cheaper.
This is a great explainer. I wonder if there's an updated approach?
That is Brilliant! I want to get a fish eye lens now!
so use fisheye hemi if u doing timelapses. use the warp tool if u doing it to just a couple pictures. got it. thanks!
best tutorial out there on fisheye
Thanks Ian. Great stuff. Subscribed/liked.
Good. I've done the lens correction method before but didn't like the results because of the stretching.
Good job man!!!!
This was amazing
will this work well with an Opteka 6.5mm f3.5 Aspherical Fisheye Lens? +Lonely Speck
Muito bom!!!
Thank you.
I'm actually looking to get a rokinon for my T2i, you think you can do a tutorial for heavy light pollution, as i'm located on an island its pretty hard to avoid the light
So you say the plug-in basically corrects the image with less cropped areas. How does it compare to the built in Adaptive Wide Angle Fillter in PS CC. I get pretty good results without getting overbord, and I can straighten every plane I need without modifying the canvas size. Awesome video by the way, pictures look amazing.
That was awesome.
perfect!
brilliant!
Thanks a lot 😉
Scary clever
Good stuff even 6 years later
Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing your knowledge as well as your stunning astro images. Beautiful work!
Great tip! Thanks :-)
Awsome! Thank you :-)
Dude you are a genius!
Have you tried to use the adaptive wide angle filter in Photoshop. It's been the for years to exactly do this work. Much easier IMHO
hi, thanks for the awesome review! I am using a ff rokinon 12mm 2.8 with a canon 5d iii. I had my camera level when taking a photo of a room filled with people...... I am new to photoshop, but I am having trouble making the image improved using fisheye hemi.. Any suggestions? Is it a lot harder when people are present?
really helpfull
is there a fisheye hemi for video & gopro superview?
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! My (Samyang 7.5mm) fish-eye lens will be a lot more versatile using your methods and I'll get even more money's worth out of it.
Where did you shoot the time-lapse footage at the beginning of the video?
Wow amazing no surprise another photographer that prefers the fake picture over the real image
Interesting... I had seen photos that looked like this, and I wondered what that effect was. I eventually found that it was barrel distortion from certain camera lenses.
Now i can buy a fisheye lens for me! Thank you sir!!!
Hey there, I love this method you've developed, but i can't seem to mimic your results. Im using a 6.5mm f3.5 opteka lens on a crop sensor DSLR. is it possible your results differ with a crop sensor and cheap lens?? if you have any tips id greatly appreciate it! when i attempt to get shots like yours in the street. the verticals never get perfectly straight they're either noticeably bowed in or out. I have better luck with the horizon but even that isn't perfect.
Super video
Why not just rotate the image 90 degrees, de-fish and then rotate back again?

Or even just use a rectilinear super wide angle lens to start with.

5'18" Because the way the defishing works is relative to the position of the image on the canvas. That's why he moves it up after the first try in the first example.

Defishing fisheye photos allows for an even wider angle than the widest rectilinear lenses allow.
hi Ian, Q: do u think DX camera can make it milky galaxy like u do. how? 30"f2.8 6400 (nikkor 50mm f1.8 FX prime lense)
Thanks heaps for the video Ian!! I just got the Rokinon 8mm for my Xpro1 and have a couple quick questions if you don't mind? Does the warp tool method decrease image sharpness or quality compared to fisheye hemi? I have played with the trial fisheye hemi but find it a bit more difficult compared to myself just using the warp tool as in your video. And secondly, if say you were doing a massive star trail stack or even just stacking a milky way shot with a sharper foreground shot, would you defish each image before stacking or just defish the final stack? Thanks, Ben

Defish after if you still care
what is the version of the photoshop??? I currently use CC2015 and I could not find image trends inc in the filter menu
Thanks! Great tutorial! I just have a question, I'm new at this and I wanted to know in which format should I save the photo after doing the correction in PS so I can then start editing the photo in LR? I see there is a RAW photoshop format...

What music you used bro, it's very peaceful.
This is genius!
how can I add fisheye Hemi to CC 2017
thank you =)
The lens profile method produces uselessly low-quality results; the warp method seems much much simpler than the the Fisheye Hemi method. Thanks a lot for this.
But adjusting via the Edit> Warp won’t work for timelapses with hundreds of photos, only single photos? Or is there a way to batch edit these changes in Photoshop?

Via Ps need you need a script to apply to all pics...
About the horizontal lines, can't you simply rotate the image or the filter mask by 90°?

Not with this plugin.
can this method be used on a video?
