How to duplicate one piece of your photo to edit without affecting the rest of the photo.
Compositional elements within the frame of the scene.In today’s tutorial, I will show you the art and magic of manual Perspective Correction in Photoshop.

I knew I had to resort to manual perspective correction in Photoshop. When I used the automated methods, these compositional elements were sacrificed because the entire canvas would warp in order to fix the perspective of the bridge. I also liked how the canvas seemed to be split like an X with the elements within the scene and how they were framed. When I was on the scene I really liked how the foreground created leading lines that would take you right to the bridge (the red and cyan lines below). All of the automated methods would change the entire composition of the photo. All of it was looking great except for a bit of lens distortion in the bridge. I was trying to fix the warped perspective on this image of the Golden Gate Bridge. I’ll show you how at the end of this post. Sometimes you just have to do it on your own. It is not as easy as one click lens corrections, or the adaptive Wide Angle Filter, or even the Perspective Warp. Typically, these are times when you have exhausted all other measures and the only way to fix warped perspective in your photo without losing your composition is with manual measures. There are times when Manual Perspective Correction in Photoshop is a must. When everything else just won’t work, resort to manual Perspective Correction in Photoshop
