In this step-by-step image-editing project James Ostinga shows you how to manipulate perspective to reduce lens distortions and boost the visual impact of your compositions.

01 DOWNLOAD START IMAGE

Download the start image at www.australianphotography.com. This image was photographed with a wide-angle lens at ground level, which has has introduced a fair amount of distortion and strong converging verticals. We can minimise that using Adobe Lightroom’s Lens Correction controls. (Note: If you prefer, there are similar controls in recent versions of Photoshop CS – go to Filter > Lens Correction.)

02 IMPORT TO LIGHTROOM

Open Lightroom and in the main menu choose File > Import Photos and Video. In the import workspace locate the image you downloaded in the previous step and click the Import button.
