PSCS: Fix perspective errors

Postby stubbsy on Tue May 16, 2006 12:37 am

This is a quick lesson. If you need more detail I can oblige, but I want to point out something often overlooked in Photoshop and that is the Transform tool. The first image below is the original shot. Below it is the final shot after PP and cropping.

Here's what I did after opening the image:
  • Select entire image
  • Edit/Transform/Perspective
  • Dragged top left edge to make the doorway appear more square (pulling top left also causes matching movement on top right
  • Double click image to apply effect
  • Select entire image again
  • Edit/Transform/Distort. Chose this because the image still was a little trapezoidal to the right
  • Pulled top right down a little and tinkered till doorway now appeared square
  • Double click to apply
  • Final PP involved a brightness/contrast layer to lighten the inside, some cloning to remove distracting edges (like the speaker box) and a tight crop

Cheers Stubbsy!
Just been fixing some Harbour bridge shots I took last year where the towers looked like the leaning tower of Pisa!
It all looks great now! :D

Great tip Stubbsy :)

To be really nitpicky, it doesn't quite work with this pic though. If you look carefully, it looks like the monks don't know how to place things straight. The statue and other ornaments are still facing the left on an angle ;) But that's if you look really close :D :twisted: :lol:
