Enhancing Perspective correction

Hi,

I agree that the present editing features for perspective correction are very creative.

To further enhance this function, may I suggest the followings:

a) Slidebars for precise adjustment to be added, for vertical, horizontal perspective and angular rotation.
b) Auto crop to remove fringe after correction.

Thumb up to the software development team.

Cheers

Hi jc1,

Thanks for another good suggestion. However I'm not sure I understand your second point correctly "b) Auto crop to remove fringe after correction." Could you specify a bit more please? Or do you mean auto-crop to remove edges?

Cheers

Hi,

My bad, certainly it is not color fringe.

You're right, is cropping off the unwanted edges after perspective correction.
It is similar to the auto-crop feature which is very nicely implemented in the current ROTATE function.

Dinner time here.

Perspective distortion (also called keystone distortion) is a common problem. It is especially apparent in pictures with dominant vertical lines & shapes. The distortion is caused by the camera's digital sensor (the focal plane) not being parallel to an object's surface and/or not level with the center of the object. If you shoot horizontally and level (perpendicular) with the center of an object, its vertical lines will appear straight. If the camera is tilted up, they will bend inward towards the top of the picture. If the camera is tilted down, they will bend inward towards the bottom of the picture.
Typical scenes with perspective distortion problems:

* Outdoor photography: Slanted trees, telephone poles, fence posts.
* Architectural photography: Leaning buildings & structures.
* Indoor photography: Tilted walls, skewed furniture.

Sometimes perspective distortion is unavoidable because of shooting situations or locations, sometimes it's actually desirable for the dramatic visual effect.

thanks
