Perspective

Settings

The following settings can be adjusted in the filter dialog:

• Planes—the initial grid layout options. Select from the pop-up menu.
• Mode—the preview options. Select from the pop-up menu.
  • Source—the image remains static as the perspective box is positioned. When the perspective filter is applied, the image is stretched and cropped to the original canvas size.
  • Destination—the image is directly linked to the perspective box and transforms with the box as the anchor points are dragged.
• Show grid—when selected, a grid is displayed between anchor points and lines. If this option is off, only anchor points and lines display.
• Autoclip—(Available in Dual Plane mode) Specifies whether or not to alter the image beyond the boundaries of the perspective grid points. If disabled, the image will look continuous; if enabled, the image will have visible seams where the perspective tool has been applied that can then be retouched.
• Rotate clockwise / Rotate anti-clockwise—rotates the image right or left in 90° increments.
• Select Destination—alters pixel selection to the whole document if no pixel selection has been performed. If however an area of an image has been targetted using any of the pixel selection tools, choosing this option will restrict the effect of the filter (e.g. rotation) to the specified region. This option is only available when applying Perspective as a destructive filter.
• No split view / Split view / Mirror view—by default, your image shows the current perspective applied. 'Split view' offers the adjusted and original images simultaneously with a sliding divider which can be repositioned and shows 'Before' and 'After'; 'Mirror view' is as for Split view but the 'Before' and 'After' panes show the entire images side by side, without the ability to slide the divider.
