PRO TIP:
We all know the importance of having your verticals truly vertical in an interior photo. Ideally, you get those lines perfect in camera, but more often than not, they need to be tweaked a little to be just right. Lightroom makes this super easy with the Transform sliders under the Develop module, but are you using the tool well? Here's my process: After my layers are blended well, I do the Lens Correction, and then move on to fixing those pesky verticals (and if it's a one-point perspective, also the horizontals!) First, check the box for Constrain Crop Next, adjust the Rotate slider. Use the center of the photo as your reference – you want to get that center axis perfect vertical. Once it's vertical, you... Adjust the Vertical slider. Usually, you'll just need a subtle adjustment. If it's a one-point perspective, you'll then want to adjust the Horizontal slider. Again, this usually just needs a subtle adjustment, so go easy!
Short and sweet for this week! As always, stay safe and be kind, xo |
