plugsnpixels,
Thanks for the reminder about this software. I find it great for correcting group portraits; but not so for the architecture, as Simon has commented. Also, I wish to thank all who have offered so far their suggestions for alternative programs to ImageAlign.
The Proxel software shows a lot of promise, but I am discoverng that I will need a lot more time with the program to get a good image correction with it. Also the instructions are spartan at best. It would be great if the most well known correction program, DXO, would consider a profile database of lenses for the medium format digital photographic equipment. Or that PhotoShop could vastly improve its distortion capabilities for the more extensive corrections needed with fisheye images for achitectural clients.
The more I investigate and work with the different software suggested to me, I find I have this "gut " feeling that many photographers have probably given up on this software approach, as it is definitely time consuming and has the potential to be very fussy to work properly. Time is money.
I do find it curious that out of a forum membership of over 30 thousand photographers, that nobody has come forward with an offer of a software copy of the ImageAlign/ImageAlign Pro or ImageAlign PhotoShop Plug-In. Hello?
I guess a lot more forum members than I first believed, have access to or own the Cambo, Alpa, Horseman, Silvestri, etc. class of medium format equipment necessary for those tight interior shots, thus eliminating in most cases the immediate need to resort to software distortion manipulation of the image. Maybe in a couple of years this will be my good fortune as well. It would be oh so nice to live in an area of the country where I could at least rent more appropriate equipment when needed.
