Perspective crop tool in Photoshop

Perspective is a representation of an object as an image as seen by an observer. At times, the effects of the photograph can be changed by changing the perspective of the image. This is particularly applicable in the case of architectural images having long buildings. A Skew perspective somewhat reduces the attractiveness of the image. Thus, it is very important to be able to change the perspective of the image. In this article, we shall throw some light upon the Perspective Crop tool available in Photoshop.

  1. First, upload the image into Photoshop. Then go to the left tool panel and select the Perspective Crop Tool option. The next thing to do is to click on View>New guide. The ruler can also be used to do this by dragging it to the bottom from the top. In case the ruler has not been activated, it can be activated by pressing Ctrl + R. Then select the whole image using the Perspective Crop Tool by dragging the mouse from the top left to the bottom right.041914_1730_WhatisPersp1 - What is Perspective Crop Tool in Photoshop and How to Use It?041914_1727_WhatisPersp3 - What is Perspective Crop Tool in Photoshop and How to Use It?

This option determines the width and height of the image. The default value of this option is the dimension of the image uploaded in Photoshop.

  1. Resolution

Resolution determines the number of pixels per inches in the image. The quality is bettered by the presence of a larger number of pixels. However, the size of the image file is also increased due to the increase in the number of pixels.

  1. Front image

This option helps to crop two images to the same aspect ratio at the same time. Just crop one image and click on this option and the other image will be cropped too in the same ratio.
