Fixing angle of mural shot at low height

[sarah_lange1]

<p>Hi, I had to shoot a big mural at a low height and now I have to fix it so the angle is right, as though I took it square on at middle height. Is this possible? Perspective tool? If so, how? Just play around 'til it looks right? Grab the whole thing with what tool? Lassoo?Thanks.</p>

<p>Photoshop>Filter>Adaptive Wide Angle or the Perspective Crop Tool</p>

[sarah_lange1]

<p>Thank you. Where are these tools located. I could not find either. I did go to Filter drop-down menu but nothing called adaptive wide angle. And do not know where perspective crop tool is. Thanks.</p>

<p>Adaptive Wide Angle is the fourth choice in the Filter drop down, it is right under Filter Gallery.</p>

<p>Perspective Crop Tool is just a tool, it is the second choice under the normal Crop Tool.</p>

<p>I am using Photoshop CS6 so the above may differ if you are using another version.</p>

<p>Thanks. I found them in CS6. But I could not figure out how to use them. I wonder if Adobe has tutorials or if there are tutorials elsewhere. I used perspective in CS4 but it's all trial and error so it takes time, I imagine these tools have a better measuring system so you don't have to do it a hundred times. Thanks.</p>

<p>I found a video that shows how to use Lens Correction under Filter to do just this. It is exactly what you want. The video is 14megs so I can email it to you. Send me a message through PN with your email and I will send it to you. Lens Correction is your answer. My other suggestions work as well, but Lens Correction is better.</p>

<p>PTLens does a pretty good and easy job of this, if you want an inexpensive standalone tool.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone. I'll give some of these suggestions a try. Ugh.</p>

<p>Hi Sarah,<br>

My method might be (using Photoshop CS-5)<br>

1) CTRL+A to select the whole image.<br>

2) Menu > Edit > TRANSFORM > PERSPECTIVE<br>

3) Drag one of the lower corner pegs inwards.<br>

Lots of possibilities with "Transform"- Skew, Distort, etc</p><div></div>

<p>Lightroom 5 or 5.2 - use the Upright tool in the Lens Correction tab of the Develop module. It's essentially a souped-up version that combines everything that's described above. It uses the specific profile associated with the lens you used to give excellent perspective corrections. You will probably need to adjust the Aspect (found under the Manual tab of the same tool) to finish the adjustment.<br>

DxO Pro 8 will also do the same job....some say even better!</p>
