He's in favour of disproportional representation

i tried to change it with

lens correction but gave up :)

Rev. Jesse. broke his ankle, Sun 24 Apr 2011, 14:26, archived)

hmmm.. i don't know what that means ;/

i'm sure i should be embarrased about that, but ah well.
the distort tool in photoshop would correct it in one mouse drag.
Please tell me to fuck off, if i'm being really patronising

i don't think i've ever used lens correction

i spent some time working on the lens correction to straighten etc, but totally forgot about the free transform tools - having a senior moment :D

But you can use the Crop Tool set to perspective

can you??

i didnt know that :( i'm ashamed

(

Rev. Jesse. broke his ankle, Sun 24 Apr 2011, 14:44, archived)

Yep a little trick learnt a few years back

drag out a crop selection and on the option bar is a checkbox for Perspective which allows you to adjust the corners of the selection - simples!

oooh will have to remember that one

(

Rev. Jesse. broke his ankle, Sun 24 Apr 2011, 14:54, archived)

What's more is that you can set the dimensions on the Options bar of the final crop

somewhat like a context aware scale - limitless possibilities especially for scaling images to fit for website design for example.

but didnt realise about the perspective - very handy :)

ooo.. i just had a quick play with lens correction

it looks like it could be useful, but like you described, a pain in the ass when it's not doing what you want it to

my father in law gave me a photography book for my b'day the other week

2/3rds of it though cover photoshop tools though and it's written in simple terms so i'll be going through that soon.
most of what i know i've just learned through messing around and with youtube vids

i did toy with getting a nice camera, but it'd just be another hobby that costs a fortune and i don't need anymore of them. not right now anyway

i often delete pictures

plus there is an undo in photoslop and not in real media:D

that's why my shopping takes so god damn long

i'm like the worst kind of artist, the one that gets good ideas or visions from time to time, but without the natural ability to express or create it ;)

nope

if it takes longer then 15 minutes I run out of patience and do some thing else

The choconade took 20 min

just found the sauce applied a brown layer with a little blending and put the text on the correct sections, the detail is a cropped cookie set to overlay

15 min but looks effective

this didn't take long at all

It is reminiscent of Matisse in the fifties.
