Lens Correction


Move your mouse over the image to see the lens correction in action.

Lens correction is a wonderful feature in Photoshop that can cancel the perspective caused by the tilting of your camera up-down or left-right. For instance, lines that converge towards the top can be made parallell, which generally looks much better. Lens correction can also diminish the effects of pincushion or barrel distorsion that become noticeable if shooting in wide-angle.
So, if you think the architecture on your pictures seems to be falling in on itself, remember this feature!
While this procedure will give you nice, straight lines, it will also crop your image somewhat. So whenever you are suspecting you might need to use it, don´t frame your subject too narrowly.
