Correcting Perspective Revisited


Correcting Perspective Revisited
The Lens Correction tool’s perspective-fixing features can be useful with images
that need a minor amount of correction.
steps:-
1. Choose Filters > Distort > Lens Correction to produce the dialog box.
2. To make the grid a little easier to view, change the spacing to 64, and click
the Color box and change to a bright magenta color,

3. Click the Straighten tool (or press A to activate it) and drag along the lower
edge of the railing at the base of the columns. This tells the tool that you want
to rotate the image so this line becomes horizontal.
4. Move the Vertical Perspective slider to the left (roughly to the –43 point) so
that the center column is vertical.
5. Move the Horizontal Perspective slider to the left (again, about to the –43
position), providing some side-to-side correction.
6. Click OK when finished. The perspective correction won’t be perfect (try one
of the other methods described earlier in this chapter if you’re fussy), but, with
a little cropping to remove the transparent areas of the image, this drastically
distorted image will look a little more normal,
