What is Auto Alignment?

Auto Alignment automatically applies straightening and keystone correction at the time of capture. This feature, previously limited to Phase One XF cameras, is now available for all camera models. It helps correct camera tilt and perspective, but may apply changes you don't want. See more about the feature here: Adding adjustments to captured images

How to Disable Auto Alignment

1. Open the Next Capture Adjustments tool.
2. Click the action menu (three dots ••• in the upper-right corner).
3. Uncheck Auto Alignment.

How to Revert the Adjustments

If Auto Alignment has already been applied to your images:

• Reset the Rotation & Flip tool to remove auto straightening.
• Reset the Keystone tool to remove perspective correction.
• Adjust cropping manually using the Crop tool if needed.
• You may apply Crop and other adjustments from one image that has been corrected already and use Adjustments Clipboard Tool for that.
