I took a picture of a building, and since it is tall, it leans back in the photo. I want to straighten the building, so that it is not leaning back. What do you call this and how do I do that? Thanks for your help.

I know nothing of Photoshop but what I do when I have a question about an application is to open the "Help" files and look around there. You'd be amazed at the information you can dig up there AND GET a lot of your questions ANSWERED

Alan <>< Hi Alan,

I tried that already. Photoshop is not for beginners.

JackIt certainly is not. Neither is AutoCad.....erierailroad,1st the disclaimer"i know absolutely nothing about Photoshop". However my wife uses it fairly often and i asked her about your problem. The fault you are discribing is called "ASCUE".Now she has no idea if photshop has a feature to deal with that (never having had the occasion to need that service). Suggest as ale52 has already however in the help menu try typing in "ascue' and good luck, truenorth"ascue"? Really? Google yields nothing indicating "ascue" means what you say.

This sounds like a photo composition issue to me. In other words, what you really need to do is get farther away from the building to take your photo. Finding a high-than-ground level POINT from which to take the photo is also going to affect how the building looks in a photo.

I don't believe the building is really "leaning back" in your photo. Obviously, if you're standing at ground level and looking upward at a tall building, the top of the building is going to look smaller than the lower part. I think that's what you're really talking about.

I don't know whether Photoshop can manipulate that aspect of a photo. I don't have Photoshop. Try typing 'skew' into the help search box.Fed and Truenorth, Skew was the word I was looking for. Corrected the pic and printed it out, just like I wanted to.

JackSo you are now "un-skewed " ? ?

erierailroad Ain't success grand. Finally got around to coming back to your original post to check on your progress.My wife came and corrected my initial spelling (should have been "askew") which might have given you the clue earlier. i was dealing with my own critters in the swamp at the time and just tried to reach out and touch SOMEONE and hopefully help them out. As you can see don't always give up on some advice you may get from others indicating "you may be stuck" --sometimes perserverance will bring success. cheers, truenorth
