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:

ModeDescription
OffNo correction applied
AutoBalanced automatic correction for both horizontal and vertical lines
LevelCorrects horizontal tilt only (horizon leveling)
VerticalCorrects vertical convergence (leaning buildings)
FullApplies both vertical and horizontal correction aggressively
GuidedDraw 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:

SliderRangePurpose
Vertical±100Tilt the image forward or backward
Horizontal±100Perspective shift left or right
Rotate±45°Free rotation for precise horizon leveling
Scale50–200%Zoom in or out to reframe after corrections
X Offset±100Pan the image horizontally
Y Offset±100Pan 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.
