Transform question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks,

I have a question, and wondered if any of you may have an answer;

I've been photographing some paintings, bound in large leather volumes. The volumes are thick, so that some of the paintings don't sit flat - there is curvature along the long and short edges. So, question is, is there a simple way to correct the page distortion back into the rectangle that it should be...?

I've tried selecting the paintings, and using all the various transform tools in Photoshop, but there are still curves and bends which I can't straighten out. Even had a go with puppet warp, with some limited success, but still ends up with wavy lines, not straight edges.

With all the amazing tools PS has I find it kind of hard to believe that there isn't an easy way to select a shape and transform it into a rectangle...or just turn a bent edge into a straight one?

All suggestions welcome. Thanks

Jonathan

To participate in this activity find instructions at: http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery-sub.html

Send your contributions early and anything you can do to prepare the photographs so they do not require additional adjustment would be much appreciated. Especially keeping them near 1000 pix in longest dimension and 200Kb in maximum size. Large images that run off the edges of average monitors are a pain. Larger is not always better!

Please take an extra minute to abide by this request but if you have doubts about how to prepare images just send them anyway and the capable gallery staff will adjust them for exhibition.

Did you know you could have a series exhibition? Learn all about it on the instructions page mentioned above.
