Myself I use the Perspective tool in Photo and just drag the corners to where I want them to be.

Pšenda Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 According to the attached photo of the Týn Church, you probably need to adjust the perspective using the Perspective tool, rather than straightening the horizon. Although for me personally the photo is thus more natural. P.S. Topic title "Cropping vector graphics" is related to the topic of the post?

Yes, once @pcdlibrary told us it's Publisher. All cropping in Publisher is vector cropping, even in the Photo Persona, unless you're working on a document that has no Master Pages and at most 1 document page.

Fixx Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 If you must you can rotate the photo in Publisher and paste it into a picture frame, cropping away the tilted edges. Clumsy but works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you need to adjust the perspective, use the Live Perspective filter in the Photo persona and apply it to the picture frame's child layer, i.e. to the image itself. A totally easy and non-destructive workflow without ever leaving the app or even the document.
