Anybody using this? I think I got to know about this from Guy Tal few years ago. How do you incorporate this tool in your workflow. Does it only work for tiff (and jpeg) and not psd files?
Prashant, I used it extensively for perspective correction with Photoshop CS2 on my PC. Since switching to a Mac a couple of years ago, I unfortunately can't use it anymore. It is a great piece of software and a steal for the price.

I use it for my wide angle lens extensively to correct for barrel distortion, and straightening horizons if necessary. Also it works well for perspective also like Guy said. It is the first thing I do when I open an image.

Richard and Guy (and others) - how does PTLens compare with the lens distortion correction tool in CS3. To date, I've had good luck using that but I'm always open to looking at something else if it's better.
Bill, the biggest difference is that PTLens has a database of camera and lens profiles and can use the EXIF information to determine the amount of correction needed.
Well, I just got some great news from NPN'r Dave Flaig who emailed to tell me PTLens is now available for the Mac. I just installed it and it seems to work well. Thank you Prashant and Dave for bringing it up!
Prashant, I use the Photoshop plugin and it doesn't seem to care what the file format it.

I have downloaded the trial version however I can only tiff and all my master files are PSDs. Any way to use this on PSDs?
