Thank you, Sean. I tried it, and it worked. You probably already know this, but, as a dummy, I discovered by chance that taking 3 or 4 panorama shots with a wide angle lens and merging them with Lightroom or Photoshop will also correct the distortion. Thanks again.
Hi Sean, thanks for the video. You are an excellent teacher. Your tutroials are understandable and applicable for beginners and advanced! Simply because no work steps are missing and the pace is such that one can follow! The special (and I think unique) is that you really explain every step and even write it down in a list (this is so helpful), as can be seen in the current video. In most tutroials, individual steps are not mentioned or assumed. As a beginner or advanced, you can often no longer understand this for yourself later. Among other things, these are the reasons why I bought your "PS Essentials for OP" today.
Agree! I especially appreciate two points: you walked/talked me through your thoughts and your tone of teaching to me and not 'at' me. Excellent information and teaching skills!
Thanks, Sean! You just saved several shots I took at Acadia NP a couple of years ago that suffered from the leaning trees effect. Can't wait to try it out myself!
Hi Sean, I came across you at Out of Chicago conference. I have since ordered several of your complete workflow series, your favorite PS techniques, and getting started in PS. I've taken a 4-hour PS in person workshop but found it was information overload. I really enjoy your online teaching style. I'm graduate of U of O, class of '81 and have always loved the Cascade mountain range. Thank you, again.
Hi Roland! Thanks for the message! Many of my family are UofO grads. Go Ducks! I'm glad the tutorials are working for you. Photoshop is big and complex and it is easy to get overload. Videos are good because you can just add one new method at a time and practice with it before moving on to the next one. You know how to reach me if you have any PS questions.
Awesome, thanks Sean. I admit I did not know about the ability to restrict the area being transformed. I love the way you list the steps on the side ...extremely helpful
Thanks for this Sean! I have downloaded your most recent course but have just barely started. This has made me eager to forge ahead. Thanks for sharing, cheers from BC!
Sean, Thanks for your post and your specifics on exact details of editing. I'm using a PC with Win10 and PS 2023. In the mix somewhere, with trying to edit layers, I am being tossed into a maze if I do not Rasterize the layer. I suspect that is because PS has insert Smart Objects. You make no mention of Smart Objects so you must not be in a editing battle with them. Hope all your other viewers don't have such problems. Best to you and yours.
Man, that was a pretty awesome demo, Sean...thanks for posting this. Tried this on one of my images, but after going to content aware fill PS creates a second background layer that is transparent. Not sure where to go from there when it comes to applying a mask and brushing out clouds, etc. (using PS 2020 and the TK7 panel).
Mostly, I don't point my camera up or down. I think it would be easier to make your shot with tilted camera, then a second with camera level. Then blend the two, and perhas do your exposure blend too. My top preference is a TS-E lens.
BTW It's not wide angle distortion. You are standing on a marble inside a soccer ball, photographing the inside of the ball. Even at 47 degrees, you are getting a significant amount of curved surface.
It might be. I'm not sure when it was introduced. Another option is to create a rectangular selection of the top of the image using the marquee tool and then enter Free Transform>Warp. That will allow you to warp just inside the selected area.
Unless it has some features I don't know about, perspective warp affects the entire image and doesn't allow you to protect the composition of the foreground the way this technique does. It essentially has the same shortfalls that the Lightroom transform tools do. However, I do use perspective warp (or LR) when I want to adjust the perspective of the entire image.
Sean Bagshaw Perspective warp allows you to do exactly what you did, ie partition the image and protect the foreground. That is the way I have gone. Worth looking at ;-) Cheers Garry

Brilliant Sean! I had no idea that I could split the image and only warp certain areas. Thank you very much!
Excellent! I did not know I could split to work on one section only. Good stuff!

Super helpful Sean! Thanks!
What a timely video. I've been struggling with a wonky lighthouse. Now fixed. Brilliant thanks.
Nice!!
Thanks, Sean! You just saved several shots I took at Acadia NP a couple of years ago that suffered from the leaning trees effect. Can't wait to try it out myself!
Another fantastic video, great examples, easy to follow, very useful for us landscapers. Thanks!
Awesome video man! I am learning so much from you and my channel is growing because of it!

Sean Bagshaw Reach out to you?! I will do that. Thanks for the offer! I hope to meet in person someday at a workshop. Thanks again!
Excellent tutorial thanks as like others I was unaware you could split the image and work on a selection.
Great tutorial Sean, you’re the best teacher! Thank you!
Great as always Sean! Always well put together and easy to follow.
Awesome, thanks Sean. I admit I did not know about the ability to restrict the area being transformed. I love the way you list the steps on the side ...extremely helpful
Thanks Sean, wonderful tutorial!
Terrific vid Sean!. Always love learning new ways to fix issues on my photos.
Wow...that is just freaking awesome. Thanks, Sean.
Great tutorial as always Sean!
Fantastic tutorial Sean, many thanks
OMG! I've been struggling with this, and now, thanks to you, I have a solution. I appreciate your help!!!! You really are the best.
That's awesome! I'm so glad to be able to share helpful stuff. :-)
Again a very helpful video, thanks Sean!!
Thank you so much for this. It just saved a shot I couldn't figure out how to correct!
Thanks for this Sean! I have downloaded your most recent course but have just barely started. This has made me eager to forge ahead. Thanks for sharing, cheers from BC!
Cheers Gord! No rush...lots of cool stuff to digest and practice in the course. :-)
Thanks Sean great easy distortion fix 👍🏻
Great video!
Another very informative tutorial, thanks.
Excellent, I know I will use this technique. You did a great job presenting this method.
Excellent video. This is a process I will definitely utilize.
Excellent tutorial, thanks Sean
Awesome tutorial! I'm embarrassed to admit that I'd not noticed the leaning trees in the first image. There's always something.
Very clear and helpful tnx
Excellent editing tip! I will be using this, thanks Sean.
As usuall excellent tutorial
You're the man Sean!

Really good information, I was curious how you will fix the tree on right in last example 😊

Holy cow. this exist!?! Thank you for showing us!
Definitely something I should have done more !
Love it. Thanks Sean.

Great vid as always, thank you.
Do the lens profiles help with this type of distortion? I almost always click on the profile before any editing.
The lens profiles compensate for lens vignetting and curvature (barrel distortion) but they don't correct for camera tilt.
I don't see that split option in PS 2018 Is it a new feature?
It might be. I'm not sure when it was introduced. Another option is to create a rectangular selection of the top of the image using the marquee tool and then enter Free Transform>Warp. That will allow you to warp just inside the selected area.
I can't find Split in my pts.
Sean
Intrigued to know why you go this way, rather than using perspective warp?
Unless it has some features I don't know about, perspective warp affects the entire image and doesn't allow you to protect the composition of the foreground the way this technique does. It essentially has the same shortfalls that the Lightroom transform tools do. However, I do use perspective warp (or LR) when I want to adjust the perspective of the entire image.

Perfect
WOW! I didn't know about the split...yeah, I know...You gotta live forever to know everything Photoshop has, right?
Haha! Yep...pretty much.
Sean, you realize the 3-dimentionality in the image is gone? Where did YOU go to school?😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
Ha. :-)
