How to use Perspective Warp to enhance landscapes

4/13/2017 ISO 1200 Magazine 0 Comments

Learn how to use the Perspective Warp tool in Photoshop. This incredible tool was designed for architecture, but with a couple quick tricks, you can use it to dramatically enhance your landscape images.

Use it to compensate (creatively) for wide-angle distortions, such as small subjects, or just for creative effect. You can be as subtle or dramatic as you like.

About Greg Benz:

My goal is not just to create art, but to connect with other photographers to share the vision, tools, and technique behind my work. I don’t believe I’ve ever found a camera that automatically captures the beauty of the world I see, so I use Lightroom, Photoshop, luminosity masking, or HDR for nearly all of my images.
