How can I add perspective

Post by jparnold »

I have 2 photos taken of the same subject (very old motor vehicle garage) and both have a modern vehicle parked in front (same vehicle both photos).
One photo was taken immediately opposite the motor garage and one taken from a place to the left of immediately in front.
In one photo I can crop part of the image which I could then cut and paste to the second image (to effectively remove the modern vehicle) EXCEPT for the change in perspective.
I guess what I want to do is exactly the OPPOSITE of using the 'perspective correction tool'. I want one side of the cropped image to be longer (higher) than the other side to match the perspective of the image I want to paste to. I hope I have described enough of what I want to do.

How is this achievable?

Thanks

Being able to view the images as attachments here would help, but if you have isolated the car you are planning to use in the final image then you can paste it as a new layer and use the pic tool to do at least some perspective changes (e.g., make part of the car larger, part of it smaller so that it is further away, etc.

But I am thinking that you want more than that - e.g., perhaps rotating it, etc. That's why having those images added as attachments for us to view them would greatly help in coming up with solutions that actually might work with your particular situation.

How about if OP tries the Perspective Correction tool? You can basically distort -- "correct" -- any which way. It's easier to use than the Pick tool, IMO. It's amazing what you can do with it. He should try it both ways.

Thanks for the quick replies
Here are the two images.
The first one is the image I want to use and remove the car (which is taken from a slight angle)
yackadanda2_paste.jpg
The second is the the image I want to cut a section to paste over the car in the first image.
yackadanda1_selection.jpg
Added later
After 'googling' this subject I came across using effects>geometric effects and wondered if this could be the answer HOWEVER I have no idea after looking at the different 'geometric effects' if any would be suitable. Also there is effects>distortion effects and wondered about them.
Does any one have a suggestion.

Once again what I am trying to do is to modify an image so that it looks like it is taken from an angle instead of immediately in front of the subject.
