Introduction
This is the final result of this episode, a beach and pier photo that was previously tilted is now perfectly straight, with a 16:9 composition following the rule of thirds. Let's start. Welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Today we are fixing the most common photo error, tilted horizon and poor composition. Everything can be done with one tool, the crop tool, including the straighten feature inside it. Open this beach and pier photo.
Step 1: Checking the tilted horizon
Notice the horizon line, where the sea meets the sky.
Step 1: Checking BG ran
If we draw a straight guide line, it's clear that the horizon slopes down to the right by several degrees.
Step 1: Checking . . tilted
Our eyes are very sensitive to such tilts.
Step 2: Crop Tool and in bar
Select the crop tool or press C. The crop frame immediately appears at the edge of the photo. In the options bar, there are ratio options, width and height columns, the straighten button, and the delete crop at pixel box. Leave delete crop at pixel checked so that the cropped area is completely removed.
Step 3: Straighten san
Click the straighten icon in the options bar, then drag the line exactly along the horizon, from the left edge to the right edge.
Step 3: Straighten follow the horizon
Once the mouse is released, Photoshop rotates the photo according to the angle of the line and crops the edges so there are no empty corners.
Step 4: Aspect ratio and rule of jr
The 9-grid overlay that appears is the rule of thirds overlay. Important objects should be placed on the lines or intersection points. We want a 16:9 format for thumbnails and desktops, and place the horizon approximately on the third line. Drag the top-left corner handle inward, then the bottom-right corner handle, until the pier and stack of wood are on the third point, and the sky is sufficiently open.
Step 5: Drag crop frame 6
The dark area outside the frame that is Ria is the part that will be removed. Press Enter to apply the crop.
Step 6: Checking the result | 0
Compare it with the original state. The horizon is now aligned with the edge of the photo, the composition is more focused, and the photo size changes according to the crop area. If you want to redo it, press Ctrl + Z and crop again. Finally, export as JPG.
