Apply automatic corrections or draw custom guides to straighten distorted lines and level your photos.
Shooting from very close or using certain lenses can distort perspective, making straight lines look curved, tilted, or skewed. For example, photographing a tall building from below can make it appear to lean. You can correct this easily using the Guided upright modes and geometry sliders in the Geometry panel.
Select Crop .
In the Crop and geometry panel that appears, select Geometry to adjust the perspective of photos according to the following:
- Auto : Analyzes the image and applies automatic perspective correction.
- Level : Corrects horizontal tilt to level the photo.
- Vertical : Corrects vertical distortion for upright subjects.
- Full : Corrects both horizontal and vertical distortion.
- Guided : Allows you to draw guides on the image to define straight lines manually.
Tip
While correcting the perspective of your photo, you may get white areas near the photo boundaries. To remove the white area, toggle on Constrain Crop to automatically crop the photo to its original dimensions.
To fine-tune the perspective corrections, scroll to Manual Transforms, and adjust the following sliders:
- Distortion: Corrects lens distortion by straightening bowed or pinched lines in the photo.
- Vertical: Adjusts vertical perspective to make vertical lines appear straight and parallel.
- Horizontal: Adjusts horizontal perspective to make horizontal lines appear straight and parallel.
- Rotate: Rotates the photo to correct camera tilt and straighten the horizon.
- Aspect: Adjusts the photo's perspective width to make it appear wider or narrower.
- Scale: Resizes the photo while preserving the original aspect ratio.
- X Offset: Shifts the photo left or right along the horizontal axis.
- Y Offset: Shifts the photo up or down along the vertical axis.
Select the Done icon to save your edits.
Note
You can Undo , Redo , or Reset Geometry anytime from the drop-down history menu on the screen.
