Perspective Efex
Perspective Efex is a Mac photo correction app from DxO Labs for fixing perspective, lens distortion, and geometry in architectural and wide-angle images.
What is Perspective Efex?
Perspective Efex is a photo editing tool for correcting perspective, geometry, and lens distortion in still images on Mac. It is associated with DxO Labs’ perspective-correction workflow and is aimed at photographers who need to straighten buildings, recover horizons, fix wide-angle distortion, and refine the shape of subjects near the edges of a frame. Users typically encounter it as part of a DxO imaging workflow for architecture, interiors, real estate, travel, and landscape photography. Its tools focus on keystone correction, horizon alignment, cropping after correction, and adjustments that help images look more natural after lens or shooting-angle issues are fixed. On current DxO product lines, the same core type of work is primarily represented by DxO ViewPoint rather than a newer standalone Perspective Efex product page.

- Fix barrel, pincushion, and fisheye lens distortion

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is legitimate photo-editing software used for image correction. It may need access to pictures you open or save, which is normal for its purpose. Removing it can affect your ability to use DxO perspective-correction tools or reopen that workflow from related photo apps, so keep it if you still edit photos with DxO software.
Recommendation: Keep Perspective Efex if you use DxO tools for architectural, interior, or lens-correction work. If you no longer use that editing workflow, you can remove it, but expect to lose access to its perspective and geometry correction features.
