Stretch a trapezoid into a square [PSP 2019]

Post by DrZaat »

Hi Folks,

I had an old, old version of PSP in which this was intuitive to me, but I can't figure out how to do it with PSP 2019.

I have photos of rectangular objects which were not taken straight on. Thus, the object appears like a trapezoid -- narrower at the top than at the bottom.

I'd like to know how to stretch the shape so that it once again looks like a rectangle.

Thanks!

Rodger

Hi Roger
Try using the Pick Tool, the large white arrow
Should allow you to distort the image

Thanks, Trevor. Altho a bit clumsy, it seems to work.

Easily the best and less "clumsy" option IMO, as long as it can be done without having the tool auto crop any of the image.
