The S6 is a capable camera but it has one problem: moustache distortion. Thats different from barrel distortion that afflicts most wide angle lenses in that it's more complex and harder to correct. So if like me you want your straight lines straight you need a correction profile. I find it quite strange that Samsung hasn't built in automatic correction. They made some of the best cameras on the market before they quit. So is there any 3rd party solution? After some searching and unsuccessful attempts to create a correction profile myself, i finally found out that i already had one lurking on my computer. PTLens is a program with a vast library of lens correction profiles. Under Samsung I found G900F. Is the average consumer supposed to know that's the other name for the S5? Anyway it works for S6 too and totally solves the problem with wavy lines at the edges if you are willing to do some post processing on your computer. PTLens is available as a plugin for Photoshop or a standalone and costs about 25$. As far as I know there's no mobile version. Does anybody know of a mobile alternative?
