Having made the global correction, if you get very keen you can go on and correct any distortion of individual elements such as the head there. All you need is another 12 hrs in every day to keep learning in PS. Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- Subject: [Leica] IMG: PWIGOMLAAP: Gee,maybe I don't need that fancy shift lens anymore. So I grabbed this kind of posed-looking (though it wasn't) picture outside the radio station, and the original http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jbm/scratch/jbm-20070831-m8b-007-1440max.jpg.html looked, well, the way pictures with the camera tilted down look -- converging verticals. Back in the day, if I'd been trying to get fancy and correct for that, I'd have busted out the tilt-shift lens (if I happened to be lugging it around with me). But now, in this brave modern world, I've (finally -- please don't laugh too much) stumbled across the magic of the Free Transform in Photoshop. We don't need no stinkin' shift lenses! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jbm/pwigomlaap/jbm-20070831-m8b-007-Edit-1280max.jpg.html Of course, Kathryn tells me he looks kind of pinheaded in the tweaked version. I don't know if I'm completely sold, either. But it's a cool new (to me) trick. -Jeff _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
