Permit rejections have cost us days on six jobs this year. Across our last 24 permit submissions, identify the pattern — wrong profiles, missing bleeds, or flattened vector plans — and recommend one change to our template and one rollout step (training or a folder action) that will stop these errors from happening again.

Questions people actually ask

with the jobs and tasks they touch

Open the photo in Photoshop. Use the Crop Tool, then click 'Straighten' to align the horizon. Adjust the crop edges to remove empty space.

This is best done when the horizon or architectural lines are clearly visible and you want the image to look natural after correction.

Fix perspective tilt when architectural features like walls or columns appear crooked, which distracts or looks unnatural. Do it before printing or sharing.

A photographer or real estate agent often corrects this before showcasing the property or creating a portfolio.

Use the 'Transform' tools, especially 'Perspective' or 'Warp.' Select the area, then adjust the corners to line up with straight edges.

For example, a portrait photographer might fix a tilted shot of a building to make the lines look real, aligning the verticals and horizontals.

Overdoing the correction, which causes unnatural distortion or stretching of the image. Always zoom in and compare with real-world lines.

A graphic designer or photographer might fall into this trap, so check your work by toggling the original image to see if it still looks natural.

Architectural photographers or real estate agents often fix perspective to make buildings look correct and appealing.

AI can automate parts of the correction, like auto-straightening or perspective adjustments. But you still need to check details and adjust manually for precision.

Fixing perspective is about adjusting lines and shapes, while restoring photos or removing objects focus on repairing damage or removing distractions. Use the right tool in Photoshop for each.
