This is most often the same setting that will appear when the “Auto” preset is selected, as well. Note that the default setting, which is “As Shot,” will display the white levels using the metadata contained in the camera raw image. Use the “White Balance” drop-down to select a preset white balance level. To adjust the white balance within camera raw images using the “Basic” tab, click the “Basic” tab within the settings panel at the right side of the “Camera Raw” dialog box. After finding the gray area, click it with your mouse pointer to automatically correct the white balance within the image. However, make sure that the white area selected is not secular white. If a neutral gray area is not available, you can also find a white area. Then find a neutral gray area within the image. Open your image in the Camera RAW editor, then click the “White Balance Tool” button in the top menu to change your mouse pointer into the “White Balance Tool.” To demonstrate both ways of color correction we’ve used the flower image below (source: )
You can't use it directly on the Smart Object, but here's how to get around it. If you get any transparent spots, you can use the Healing brush tool to fill it in. You can complete the image by trimming off the edges with the Crop tool. Hold the shift key and click on the other two vertical lines.ĭrag the points so that it fits your image. Now when you drag one point, the other will follow it horizontally. This will straighten the line and make the two points link to each other. Instead, hold the shift key and click on the middle line. You can move the points around but it’ll usually skew your image which isn’t what we want. Next, switch to the Warp mode by clicking on the button in the options bar. This will merge the points together.Ĭontinue dragging the rest of the points towards the other corners of the building. Release your mouse when you see two lines highlighted in blue. This time, drag one of the points towards the corner of the grid you created earlier. Pay attention to the grid lines and make sure that they are parallel with any lines on your building.Ĭlick anywhere on the image to create another grid. You can also click on a point and use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move them around. Drag the points on the grid to create a grid that covers the perspective of the building. Once you have the Perspective Warp tool activated, click anywhere to create a grid. Note that your graphics processor must have at least 512 MB of video RAM to use this feature. Make sure that the “Use Graphics Processor” option is enabled. If it’s grayed out, then go to Edit > Preferences > Performance. If you don’t see this, make sure that you have the latest version of Photoshop CC installed. By converting the layer to a Smart Object, we can apply the Perspective Warp nondestructively and go back to edit the settings at any time.
First duplicate your layer by pressing Ctrl/Cmd+J then convert it to a Smart Object by right-clicking on the layer and choosing “Convert to Smart Object”. But thanks to the Perspective Warp tool, we can now fix this without going back there. In hindsight, I should have took it from another angle. As you can see in this image, the building was photographed at an awkward angle. In this case, we’ll use a building since it’s the simplest example. The primary reason the Perspective Warp tool was created was to allow you to change the perspective of an object.
