henryg Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I am familiar(ish) with both the live and normal perspective corrections tools, but don't know how to get the best result from the adjustment. When I drag outward left or right on the top handles to correct converging line distortion, the height of objects (buildings and people) become foreshortened so I drag the handles upwards to restore what looks like a proper ratio, but is there a way to get a "correct" ratio other than by eye/guessing? I find this particularly difficult when dealing with photos with people in the foreground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I generally do a bit of ground work first in so much as, I create lines with the pen tool to give a point of reference for height and width. Before perspective After perspective but prior to scaling the photographer back to match the green lines After perspective, using the green lines to scale the photographer back.

henryg Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 That's interesting. Now the pen tool I tend to avoid as much as possible - can't remember the last time I used it, but will try it. I had tried using guides with limited success.

henryg Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 I'm missing something, as I can't get the image after perspective correction to line up with the pen tool lines; your 2nd & 3rd images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurent32 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I guess you just have to stretch the image vertically (and horizontally a bit) in order to have people height (and width) match the green lines.

henryg Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 Thanks, I've got it working now. Probably an error using the pen tool initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryg Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 I can't use a Macro to place generic lines to then move about 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
