I'm brain dead, please help (Photoshop CS)

[Kelly Grannell]

I've been doing the following quite often, but this morning I'm absolutely brain dead and can't figure out what to do. Please help.

1. I have a picture of framed photo that I took from an angle. I know there is a way using photoshop to transform the image so it looks like I'm taking the picture of it straight on.

2. The building in one of my pic is slanted, Iusually fix this with a tool using Photoshop. Again, for some reason I can't find the answer in my head.

Don't know what happen to me this morning but I can't remember these things.

Please help.

Kelly,

I'm on CS2, so some tools might be different.
My preferred method would be "Filter" "Distort" "Lens Correction"
Go to the Tranform panel and drag the "Vertical Perspective" slider to your desired correction.

If CS does not have that tool, Select the entire image, go to "Edit" "Transform" "Perspective" and do your correction there.

HTH

Crop Tool - Highlight area needing correction
Check little box called Perspective
Grab each corner and move it to match the corner of the picture frame
Hit enter or the big check to crop
