Transform & Upright
Correct perspective distortion and straighten architecture.
Transform & Upright
The Transform panel provides geometry correction tools for fixing perspective distortion, lens tilt, and architectural alignment.
Upright Modes
Fovea can automatically detect and correct perspective using its built-in line detection:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Off | No correction applied |
| Auto | Balanced automatic correction for both horizontal and vertical lines |
| Level | Corrects horizontal tilt only (horizon leveling) |
| Vertical | Corrects vertical convergence (leaning buildings) |
| Full | Applies both vertical and horizontal correction aggressively |
| Guided | Draw guide lines manually on the image to indicate which lines should be straight |
Click any mode button to trigger the solver. A brief analysis runs on the image, detecting structural lines and computing the optimal correction.
Manual Controls
Fine-tune beyond the automatic solver:
| Slider | Range | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical | ±100 | Tilt the image forward or backward |
| Horizontal | ±100 | Perspective shift left or right |
| Rotate | ±45° | Free rotation for precise horizon leveling |
| Scale | 50–200% | Zoom in or out to reframe after corrections |
| X Offset | ±100 | Pan the image horizontally |
| Y Offset | ±100 | Pan the image vertically |
Constrain Crop
Enable Constrain Crop to automatically hide the empty areas created by perspective correction. When off, empty space is shown as a transparency checkerboard.
Tips
- Use Vertical mode first for architecture, then fine-tune with the manual sliders.
- Guided mode is best when automatic detection doesn’t produce ideal results — you control which lines matter.
- Click Reset to return all transform values to their defaults.
