I have several photographs of amateur paintings that were taken with some kind cheap camera that distorts the edges, making them curved.
I want to straighten those edges and then crop the photo so it'll be just the painting.
Last week I have made photo's of 140 different paintings. Some paintings were very big, some were very small, some where rectangle shape, some were square shape. All paintings were set upon a stand and I photographed all of them from my tripod. So you can understand that on some pictures I have large paintings and on some photos I have small paintings.
Now I want to remove everything around the painting so that my photo ONLY shows the painting (even the border around the painting has to be removed).
First I select only the painting. Then I inverse my selection and remove it. So I'm now left with a photo of only the painting. So far no problem.Then I select the painting and with CTRL T I place the 'reference point location to the upper left corner and than set the height to 2000px. The painting now becomes 2000px high, but the width isn't corrected so I click on the 'maintain aspect ratio' and the painting is okay. This is now done with (for example a square painting).
But when I now perform this action on a rectangle painting, the end-result is a square painting.
I have a photograph of a page of a book. The bottom and sides are straight, but the top is curved. What tool/plugin can I use to straighten the top edge and the text?
I'm sure there must be one, but there are so many different plugins and I have limited experience with Paint.Net that I am a bit lost!
I'm trying to straighten a crooked photo. The instructions in the Editor space say I should click the Straighten tool, draw a line on the photo, and the image will rotate to the angle of the line. I did exactly that and even though the line got drawn, the photo didn't move.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find in Paint.NET the functions I use often:
1) How to straighten photos, using an horizontal line or a geometrical figure (I tried yet the radius straighten, but the photos are deformed then)
2) Some info on how to add a transparency layer and how to "colour" an area with transparent background;
3) How to make a gradient of two or more colours with advanced settings;
4) How to cut an area of a photo with precision (point-to point system and point to point "guided" based on colour tollerance levels; magic wand seems not to cut and then I haven't a firm hand);
5) Additional plugins for photo editing (borders, frames, artistic effects, etc.)
I need to do a small bit of horizon straightening on an image which I have.
Using the rotation tool is fair enough.
Under clipping I select crop to result.
In the rotation dialog i enter the angle ( -.7 )
When I click rotate, it goes through the motions of a status bar advancing (green bar), but when it is finished doing its thing the image vanishes entirely, and i'm left with what looks like a transparent background.
If in clipping, I select 'Adjust', it rotates fine but I have to crop the result manually to have the image 'square' with no transparent angled edges.
How the rotation tool works? I'm using Gimp 2.6.4 on Windows Vista.
Is it possible to select a center point to work from, rather than an edge? (i.e. not rectangular select)
And tell it to keep an aspect ratio?
I have a series of photo's of artworks which were taken whilst hanging on a wall, I need to remove the shadow from the one side and edit out any blemishes such as pencil marks which are on the wall in the background, basically so it looks as if they're hanging on a plain white wall. They can't be cropped to having no background either.
I've tried blurring and pasting in sections of the wall where there's no shadow, but it doesn't look good. The pictures aren't dead centre either which makes it more difficult.
I'm fine with the basics of photoshop, but something slightly advanced like this

I can't seem to find any techniques for shade and color what I have so far.
Here is the original, which I used as a tracing template:

How would I go about achieving the blend of coloring in the front blue wave? I have tried gradient meshes, but they don't handle the curves of the waves very well.
Any tips on the techniques I could use to color this artwork.

I want to import a photo, trace geometric shapes over the photo like circles and lines, and then remove the photo. I have a very basic understanding of LAYERS. I have viewed a few tutorials. But I don't know how to import a photo or how to get rid of it once I have drawn the geometric shapes over it.
how did they do that?

The horizon is straight BUT the church is tilted due to the lens.
Can the church be straightened without messing with the rest of the image?
This is NOT a HDR processed image.
After using the straighten tool, I end up with the picture within its own borders the way I want, but it appears on top of another piece of white paper, and skewed on that white paper…how do I get just the straightened picture without it appeared on top of the “white paper”? I am using Photoshop elements 10 on an i Mac desktop.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have photographed an old book of mine, and i am batch cropping and straightening the photos in photoshop, but the cropping fluctuates from, in some shots, editing out just the borders around the book, which is what i want, to editing out one whole page (of the two per photograph)- something i do not want. there does not seem to be any logic to what is edited out or not, it seems random. can anybody help with this inconsistency problem?
i want to edit out just the border (background) around the book, but leave both pages in the photograph. why at times is the program editing out whole single pages leaving only one page per photograph?
P.S. just to update, i have realised that perhaps the problem has to do with the fact that the two pages on the book have, like all books, a dark line vertically down the centre between both pages where the binding is. think of a photcopied page which has a dark line down the centre separating left from right page. i believe that photoshop reads that black centre-line as a border itself and so edits one page out; it assumes the black line is a border and edits out everything outside of it (which contains the other page).
now i'm not sure how to overcome this. is there a way i can set it so that the cropping feature works on some rough template to do with size? the page sizes are relatively similar, so if it used a size-type template to crop, it would work well. this problem is random and not all photographs are problematic, but quite a few seem to cut out one whole page.
I just downloaded the trial version of CS2. I have a lot of images on my computer that I scanned into my computer. Naturally, these images were not centered when I used my scanner.
I was just wondering if Photoshop has any features that would allow me to slightly rotate my image to make it completely straight?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working my way through Adobe Photshop 7, ClassRoom in a book. I'm now on lesson three and I'm completely stuck. I have my image open (its not straight and needs cropping)and I have selected the cropping tool and entered the width and height dimensions.
The book then tells you to use the marquee tool to select the area that you want to keep, which I have done. But then things go sour for me. It says after you release the mouse button a cropping shield covers the cropping selection, and the tool bar option now displays choices about the cropping shield. This doesn't happen for me. I just get a broken outline around the area I want to crop.
Also, it says in the tools option bar make sure that the Perspective Check box is not selected. I can't find this on the toolbar.
And, finally,it says, In the image window move the pointer outside the crop marquee, so it appears as a curved double arrow. Then clockwise to rotate the marquee until it is parallel with the edges of the pictured window frame. Again, this doesn't happen for me, all that happens is the pointer changed to a cross.
Does anyone know of a way to automate adjusting the cropping frame
after straightening a picture using the Measure tool?
I have a friend who is verticality challenged. He seems incapable of
getting a shot straight. He just shot a big Christmas party and has
over a hundred shots to straighten. I have to straighten one
occasionally myself. It seems tedious and unnecessary to have to
adjust the cropping frame every time after straightening the picture.
I teach elementary photoediting using all versions PS and PSE.
Somewhere along the line I ran across a version of PSE that
automatically did this. It fit the cropping frame to the picture
content so, if you just wanted to remove the exposed canvas you could
click crop and you were done.
I just got elements 7. I tried to straighten a photo, but I do not know how to save the change.

Also, if Paint.net isn't capable of doing this, is there another free image editing program that is?
I use Memories on TV to make picture montages. Some times when I make a opening picture in Photoshop like a title or some thing. I get a white edge around two side of the first image of the slide show. I found a action one time that was to remove that. Does anyone here know where I can get this action or a different way to remove this white edge?

I know that image editing tools such as Illustrator allow you to "vectorize" a bitmap image but the thing I don't about is whether any of the applications can automatically straighten and correct lines and give me a "nicer" picture as a result?
Does anyone know if this sort of thing is even possible?
I've converted a bitmap which contains a pixelated banner in to a vector image. Whilst the output is almost there, some of the edges of the "pixels" are not at right angles and therefore the "pixel" is not a regular rectangle. I have converted all the anchors to corners, however this made some of the "pixels" in to trapezium shapes instead of right angled rectangles. There are too many pixels to modify to do this manually. Is there a way to "Select All" -> "Make all corners 90 degrees" type functionality in Illustrator CS6?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm slowly getting familiar with the new pressure pipe tools. So far I like the layout compass but I'm finding the rest to be rather cumbersome to work with.
One problem I have is how to straighten portions of a pipe in profile after fitting it to a surface profile. Each pipe ends up segmented according to it's cut length property. Typically after fitting it to a surface profile we want to straighten the pipe between critical points along the profile. I don't see any way to do this aside from dragging each segment. Is there a way to remove, add or adjust the length of individual segments?
I don't see any other than the videos provided in the new features catalog.
