I just started today using and learning Affinity Photo coming from GIMP. When I take pictures of my art works with my mobile phone the art needs to be straighten most of the time on all four sides. In GIMP I use guides that I drag out from the rulers and use the Perspective tool to click on all four corners of a crooked rectangle in the image and then I drag each of the corners of the selection to make all of the sides straight.

I'm trying to figure out if I can do something similar in Photo or if there is another way to achieve the same results. I tried to drag guides from the rulers but I don't see anything.

I've included a sample of image that needs to be straightened a bit on all the sides. Some sides more than others.

Hi,

in Photo, there are multiple options to straighten Images:

  • Develop Person, Lens Correction,
  • Photo Persona,
  • Perspective Live Filter
  • Mesh Warp tool

But to be absolutely honest, on Smartphone i use google photo scan or dropbox scan, because you could get the job done directly.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.

You can use the Perspective tool

  1. You can pull out some guides to help you see how out the image is, to do this select the Move Tool (V) and pull out from the ruler some guides and set them near the edge of the image.
  2. Select the Perspective Tool from the tools bar on the left of the Affinity Photo workspace
  3. Leave the Plane option as: Single Plane and Select Mode: Source
  4. Now move the nodes to the corners of the image
  5. Once you are happy with the nodes placement click Apply.
