Before perspective correction
After perspective correction
You have to leave room around the building to use perspective correction. I tend to crop the image too tight, trying to use every single pixel but with 16-20 mpixels it's not necessary. Anything over 5 mpixels is braggin rights for the camera maker.

(149,681 posts)Is perspective correction a function of Photoshop? I'm not sure, but I don't think any of my Photoshop applications have that. But I haven't explored them fully, so I could have missed it.
I love the building and what you did with it!

(14,559 posts)I use Corel paint shop and am not conversant in PS. What it does is shrink one side of the image and then you crop the picture back to a rectangle, hence the need to leave room around the subject. If you find it be sure to use the grid overlay for reference.

(34,137 posts)There are "transform" and "free transform" tools and I really don't know very well how to use them. I've played with the tools to straighten photos of needlework - a very simple task since the edges are usually very linear and I'm just dragging one corner to get it squared.
I'm sure somewhere on the internet is a wonderful tutorial on how to properly use the transform tools!
