For Photoshop CC and CS6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"author\">Written by Steve Patterson.<\/div>\n<p>Whenever we photograph our subject on an angle, we get what's called <em>keystone distortion<\/em>, or <em>keystoning<\/em>. This means that, rather than the edges of our subject looking straight and perpendicular, they look as if they're leaning back or tilting inward towards the horizon. To fix the perspective, and crop the image at the same time, we can use Photoshop's Perspective Crop Tool. And in this tutorial, I'll show you how it works!<\/p>\n<p>Adobe first added the Perspective Crop Tool in Photoshop CS6.

Because the photo was shot from the ground and looking up at the hotel, the building seems to be leaning back as it rises upward, making the top look more narrow than the bottom. And the smaller building to the left of the hotel also looks like it's leaning backwards. In fact, <em>everything<\/em> in this photo seems to be tilting inward towards some imaginary center point high above the image:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/original-photo.jpg\" alt=\"A photo with perspective and distortion problems. Photo credit: Steve Patterson\" width=\"700\" height=\"470\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photos of buildings often suffer from perspective distortion. Photo credit: Steve Patterson.<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">How to fix the perspective with the Perspective Crop Tool<\/h2>\n<p>Let's see how the Perspective Crop Tool can fix this problem.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Select the Perspective Crop Tool<\/h3>\n<p>You'll find the  Perspective Crop Tool nested in behind the standard Crop Tool in the <a href=\"\/basics\/photoshop-tools-toolbar-overview\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Toolbar<\/a>. To get to it, click and hold  the Crop Tool's icon until a fly-out menu appears showing the other tools also available in that spot. Then choose the <strong>Perspective Crop Tool<\/strong> from the list:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/photoshop-perspective-crop-tool.png\" alt=\"Selecting the Perspective Crop Tool in Photoshop\" width=\"248\" height=\"140\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click and hold on the standard Crop Tool to access the Perspective Crop Tool.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"\/basics\/custom-toolbar-photoshop\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Related: How to customize the Toolbar in Photoshop<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Draw a crop border around the image<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike Photoshop's standard <a href=\"\/basics\/how-to-crop-images-photoshop-cc\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Crop Tool<\/a>, the Perspective Crop Tool does <em>not<\/em> automatically place a cropping border around the image. So the first thing we need to do is draw one ourselves. To do that, I'll click in the top left corner of the photo and, with my mouse button held down, I'll drag diagonally downward to the bottom right corner:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/drag-crop-border-around-image.jpg\" alt=\"Drawing a crop border with the Perspective Crop Tool in Photoshop.\" width=\"704\" height=\"489\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click and drag out an initial crop box around the image.<\/div>\n<p>I'll release my mouse button, at which point Photoshop adds a crop border around the image. And just like we'd see with the standard Crop Tool, <em>handles<\/em> appear around the border. There's one at the top, bottom, left and right, and one in each corner:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/free-transform-handles.jpg\" alt=\"The crop border and handles around the image in Photoshop\" width=\"640\" height=\"500\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The handles around the crop border.<\/div>\n<h4>The Perspective Grid<\/h4>\n<p>Notice that a grid also appears inside the crop border. This is the <em>perspective grid<\/em>, and it's what allows us to fix our perspective problem, as we'll see in a moment:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/perspective-crop-tool-grid.jpg\" alt=\"The Perspective Crop Tool adds a perspective grid to the image in Photoshop\" width=\"700\" height=\"477\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The perspective grid inside the crop border.<\/div>\n<p>If you're not seeing the grid, make sure you have the <strong>Show Grid<\/strong> option selected (checked) in the Options Bar along the top of the screen:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/perspective-crop-tool-show-grid.png\" alt=\"The Show Grid option for the Perspective Crop Tool in Photoshop CS6. Image &copy; 2012 Steve Patterson\" width=\"364\" height=\"94\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Make sure \"Show Grid\" is selected.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Line up the perspective grid with the edges of your subject<\/h3>\n<p>To fix the perspective problem, all we need to do is drag the corner crop handles left or right to line up the vertical grid lines with something in the image that should be vertically straight. For example, with my photo, the sides of the hotel should be straight. So to correct the perspective, I'll drag the corner handles inward until the grid lines and the sides of the building are tilting at the same angles.<\/p>\n<p>I'll start by dragging the handle in the <strong>top left corner<\/strong> towards the right until the vertical grid line closest to the left side of the hotel lines up with the angle of that side of the building. As I drag the handle, I'll also press and hold my <strong>Shift<\/strong> key. This makes it easier to drag the handle straight across horizontally:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/drag-perspective-handle-top-left.jpg\" alt=\"Correcting perspective by matching the grid line with the left side of the building in Photoshop\" width=\"700\" height=\"486\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Matching the perspective grid line with the left side of the building.<\/div>\n<p>Then I'll drag the handle in the <strong>top right corner<\/strong> towards the left until the vertical grid line closest to the right side of the hotel is tilting at the same angle as that side of the building. Again, I'll press and hold my <strong>Shift<\/strong> key as I drag so it's easier to drag straight across:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/drag-perspective-crop-handle-top-right.jpg\" alt=\"Matching the perspective grid line with the right side of the building to correct perspective in the image\" width=\"700\" height=\"487\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Matching the grid line with the right side of the building.<\/div>\n<p>Adjusting the grid line on one side of your subject may throw off the other side, so you may need to go back and forth a bit with the handles. But after a bit of fine-tuning, you should have both sides of the grid lined up with something that should be vertically straight. You can also drag the handles in the bottom left and right corners of the crop border if you need to, but in my case it wasn't necessary. <\/p>\n<p>Just like with the standard Crop Tool, the darker areas outside the crop border will be cropped away once the crop is applied:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/perspective-crop-area.jpg\" alt=\"The crop border after ajusting the perspective grid in Photoshop\" width=\"700\" height=\"479\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">To fix the perspective, the shaded areas outside the crop border will be tossed away.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 4: Adjust the crop border<\/h3>\n<p>Once you've lined up the grid lines with the angles of your subject, you can drag the top, bottom, left or right handles to reshape the crop border and crop away more of the image. Here, I'm dragging the left and right sides inward:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/perspective-crop-side-handles.jpg\" alt=\"Making further adjustments to the crop border before cropping the image.\" width=\"700\" height=\"475\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Making further adjustments to the crop border.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 5: Apply the crop<\/h3>\n<p>When you're ready to crop the image, click the <strong>checkmark<\/strong> in the Options Bar. Or press <strong>Enter<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Return<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/perspective-crop-tool-checkmark.png\" alt=\"Clicking the checkmark to apply the perspective crop to the image in Photoshop\" width=\"304\" height=\"93\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the checkmark to apply the perspective crop.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop instantly crops away the area outside the crop box and fixes the perspective problem in one shot. The hotel in my photo, as well as everything else that was tilted, now appears vertically straight.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/image-perspective-crop-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"The building is no longer leaning backwards after correcting the perspective with the Perspective Crop Tool in Photoshop\" width=\"699\" height=\"542\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The hotel is no longer leaning backwards.<\/div>\n<p>One  problem with the Perspective Crop Tool is that it's not an exact science. After you've applied the crop, you may find that your image still looks a bit \"wonky\" (technical term), and that's because the angles of your grid lines didn't quite match up  with your subject. If that happens, undo the crop by pressing <strong>Ctrl+Z<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+Z<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard and then try again. It may take a couple of tries, but stick with it and you'll get it right.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">How to fix the \"squished\" look after correcting the perspective<\/h2>\n<p>Another problem you may run into with the Perspective Crop Tool is that everything in your image may look a bit vertically \"squished\" after applying the crop. In my case, the hotel no longer looks as tall as it did originally, and the people walking in front of it all look shorter. We can fix this problem by stretching the image using Photoshop's <a href=\"\/basics\/photoshops-free-transform-essentials\/\">Free Transform<\/a> command.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Unlock the Background layer<\/h3>\n<p>Before we do that,  we first need to look at the <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/layers-panel\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Layers panel<\/a> where we see that my photo is currently sitting on the <a href=\"\/basics\/background-layer-photoshop-cc\/\" title=\"Learn more\">Background layer<\/a>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/background-layer-photoshop.png\" alt=\"Photoshop's Layers panel showing the cropped photo on the Background layer\" width=\"275\" height=\"291\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel showing the image on the Background layer.<\/div>\n<p>The problem is that Photoshop won't let us use Free Transform on a Background layer. But the easy solution is to simply rename the layer. In Photoshop CC, click on the <strong>lock icon<\/strong>. In CS6, press and hold the <strong>Alt<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Option<\/strong> (Mac) key on your keyboard and <strong>double-click<\/strong> on the Background layer. This will instantly rename the layer to &quot;Layer 0&quot;:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/unlock-background-layer.png\" alt=\"Unlocking the Background layer in Photoshop\" width=\"275\" height=\"188\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Unlocking the Background layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 2: Choose the Free Transform command<\/h3>\n<p>With the layer renamed, go up to the <strong>Edit<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar and choose <strong>Free Transform<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/photoshop-free-transform-command.png\" alt=\"Selecting the Free Transform command in Photoshop CS6. Image &copy; 2012 Steve Patterson\" width=\"282\" height=\"124\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Go to Edit > Free Transform.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Stretch the image vertically<\/h3>\n<p>Photoshop places the Free Transform box and handles around the image. To stretch the image, I'll click on the <strong>top handle<\/strong> and, with my mouse button held down, I'll drag it straight up. Again, this isn't an exact science so all we can really do is eyeball it. But I'll drag the handle upward until the hotel and the people in the photo all look roughly as tall as they should be. Or in this case, as tall as I can make them without losing the very top of the building:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/stretch-image-up.jpg\" alt=\"Stretching the image using Free Transform in Photoshop\" width=\"640\" height=\"529\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Stretching the photo vertically to restore the height.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 4: Click the checkmark<\/h3>\n<p>When you're happy with the results, click the <strong>checkmark<\/strong> in the Options Bar to apply the transformation. You can also apply it by pressing <strong>Enter<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Return<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/basics\/cc\/perspective-crop-tool\/free-transform-checkmark.png\" alt=\"Clicking the checkmark to apply the Free Transform command in Photoshop\" width=\"355\" height=\"94\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the checkmark in the Options Bar to apply the Free Transform command.<\/div>\n<p>And with that, we're done!
