Adjust any of the following properties as needed to transform the image:

• Vertical. This tilts the image by rotating on the X-axis. This tilts the image forward or backward and

can help compensate for an image with any keystoning problems. This type of problem causes

vertical lines to appear skewed and is often caused by the camera shooting from age by rotating on

the Y-axis. This angles the image from side to side and solves the problems caused by shooting at

an angle in relation to the subject.

• Horizontal. This adjustment tilts the image on the Y-axis. It can help compensate for perspective

issues caused by shooting off-angle from your subject.

• Rotate. Rotates the entire canvas on the Z-axis and can be useful for straightening a crooked photo.

• Aspect. This command changes the aspect ratio of a photo. Dragging the slider will expand the

height or the width while contracting the opposite direction for the second value.

• Scale. Use the Scale command to effectively crop the transformed photo. This is a useful way to hide

gaps after transforming a photo.

• X Offset. This shifts the transformed image left or right.

• Y Offset. This shifts the transformed image up or down.

Note: Geometry controls

It is also possible to transform the shape of a photo to compensate for perspective issues or

problems caused by the camera’s physical position. With the Geometry controls, there are

many options available for changing the position, rotation, and scale of a layer. There is

also the Free Transform command available in the Layers Tool.
