Leica Perspective Control in Lightroom and Camera Raw

Learn more about Perspective Control support in Adobe photography apps.

Leica Perspective Control helps you automatically correct the keystone effect, such as converging vertical or horizontal lines. Adobe photography apps use Perspective Control metadata to create an automatic Guided Upright correction. Support is limited to raw files only.
