Scott: That was very helpful. i have tried using keystone on whole houses and it rarely helped so I would just use vertical and move on. So this helps me to understand the tool a lot more. Thanks for doing this.
Another very useful video... thanks! I remember shooting some wonderful old cobwebby windows of old cabins in the woods, and seeing my reflection in the glass, stepped to the side. With the camera at an angle to the glass, I created a perspective error to deal with in post-processing... D'OH! It's hard to remember this in the field, but it really helps to shoot architecture wider than one may want so there's room for the crop that perspective correction performs. Sometimes Photoshop's Generative Expand can help out here when there isn't room.
Thanks for another interesting tip, always good to go the basics, don't think I have ever used this apart from horizon levelling. Hope to see some sneak previews of the upcoming new version soon.
On some other editing software, I use a "perspective" tool that's similar to this. But I can also adjust the tool's intensity, so I can have straight towers like this that still converge slightly. I find that a perfectly vertical tower looks kind of fake sometimes, especially if the camera was tilted upward even more than this scene was. And I can also scale the vertical height slightly to avoid a somewhat "squashed" look: When you clicked to apply the keystone here, the building component heights were reduced enough to notice. It's hard to say if that's more accurate or not. I see there's a "vertical" and "horizontal" slider tool -- maybe that's the equivalent fix?
Scott. Aren't there programs that fill in the areas that are exposed to have no pixels because of using transform? If so, why doesn't On1 raw do it? Thanks for all your helpful videos.
Hi Scott .. I hope you're doing well. This is a great tool. Is there anything similar for a Lightroom (or camera RAW) user that you are aware of ? Thanks !
Yes. Lightroom has the 'Guided' mode in its Transform tool. Did a video on that a few weeks back. scottdavenportphoto.com/blog/straighten-wonky-angles-like-a-pro
Another very useful tutorial on the many aspects of ON1, thank you.
You're very welcome!
As usual Scott, excellent
Glad you enjoyed it
very helpful. I use the keystone tool, but with the help of the tips in this video, I will be able to do so with more precision.
Glad it was helpful!

When Vertical works... use it. Keystone is another tool in the toolbox.
@@ScottDavenport Sometimes it works, but other times there is still leaning. i thing keystone will be my ticket. Thanks again.
Many thanks. I had no idea that keystone was there. Looks extremely useful.
It's good to know about and helpful in many scenarios. Have fun!
Great stuff, Scott. Thank you!
My pleasure!

That's a good point... when capturing photos that will need some level of Transform... have breathing room in the frame.

Experiment with the individual sliders... that's what they are there for. A vertical shift can keep some of the angle if that's the look you're after.

Some have a 'constrain crop' to trim away the empty areas. Some auto-fill or have other features to do so (thinking Photoshop and generative fill).
