Correcting Keystone

[Allyson]

Does anyone recall any videos or tutorials in the subscriber section on correcting keystone? I thought I has seen something there months back, but all I see now is the new distortion correction video, that applies to PSE5 (I have Version 3). I think I recall image/transform/perspective, but am not sure. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Allyson

Hi Allyson ...

I can't remember if there was one or not ... I tend to use Image>Transform>Distort :)

Hey Wendy,

Can you help? I am a bit concerned as it is a picture of two girls in a window, and am wondering, if I pull the window straight, will I distort the girls too much? And when you use distort, does it kind of work the same where I grab a corner and keep the shift key down and drag a little?

Ta,
Allyson

Allyson, without seeing your photo I'm not sure this will work but ... have you tried putting the window and the girls on separate layers? Then you can adjust the window without distorting the subjects.

Ooooh Glenda .... I like your thought there -- never thought of that. Thanks, I will give it a try, but of course my PSE skills are primitive at most, but that does seem like a workable solution.

Thanks

Allyson

I'm so glad I could offer you some help! Do let me know if it works out for you.

Hi Allyson ...

Disort lets you move each of the four corners independently or if you grab the centre handle then you move the whole side.

Its always difficult to predict how it will work ... the best thing to do is just try it and see.

Hopefully it will work OK ... :)

Wendy,

Thanks, I am going to try it tomorrow. I am too tired now. Need to go and get the kiddos to bed and clean up.

Thanks again,

Allyson
