USE TRANSFORM CROPPING

-

No matter where you place your lens, you can’t always get the perfect arrangemen­t of shapes in the frame to get the ideal compositio­n. In Photoshop, though, you can subtly distort the image by pulling out the corner handles in Free Transform mode. This can allow you to fine-tune your compositio­n by enlarging or reshaping your foreground interest to suit the space in the frame.

Press Ctrl+A (Cmd+A in macOS) to select the whole frame, then press Ctrl/ Cmd+T to start Free Transform mode. Now hold Ctrl/Cmd and drag out the corners to improve the use of space. You can also use this technique to level horizons or straighten up wonky buildings. Press Return when you’re finished.
