Upright automatic perspective correction
About Upright perspective correction
Using an incorrect lens or holding a shaky camera can cause the perspective of photographs to be tilted or skewed.
These types of distortion are particularly evident in photographs that contain vertical lines or geometric shapes.
The Upright feature provides four modes of automatic perspective correction. After applying an Upright mode, you can
refine the adjustment by manually modifying the slider-based settings.
Note: Apply lens correction profiles for your camera and lens combination before you correct perspective using the Upright
feature. Applying the lens correction profile first results in better image analysis for upright correction.
Video tutorial: Upright perspective correction
Automatically fix common problems, such as tilted horizons and converging verticals in buildings using Lightroom’s
Upright controls for perspective correction.
Using Upright modes to correct lens distortion
1 In the Develop module, navigate to the Lens Corrections panel.
2 (Optional) In the Basic tab, select the Enable Profile Corrections checkbox.
Enabling profile corrections based on your camera and lens combination is highly recommended, before processing
the photo with the Upright modes.
