This can even do things like fisheye lenses. Then, if I get out of the Crop tool, and go to the Hand tool there's my end result. And if I grab it, I can click and drag within my picture, to say I don't want the whole image, I only want that portion. Two tools over to the left are the Crop tool. That was in that tool that looked like a little grid. And it's going to make sure they're perfectly horizontal and vertical. And if you want to you can do the bottom. The top is tilted a little bit, so I can also click on the right edge, drag to the left edge and create a line that is parallel with the top of the picture. So, I'm making lines that are parallel with the edge of the picture, and suddenly it straightens it. You move your mouse onto the image, you get it to a line with the edge of a vertical line drag, get it to a line, and only after you have added two of these lines will it actually change your picture. But, that doesn't always do a great job so there's an icon on the far, far right where you can do it yourself. This tries to make vertical lines straight. And this icon tries to make horizontal lines, horizontal. I don't have to do it by manually moving these sliders, though, there are icons above it. I'm attempting to try to get the verticals that are here to be straight.

If I move it one direction, it's going to tilt the image one direction, and if I move it the other, it will tilt it the opposite amount, or opposite direction. Here's a slider called Vertical and watch what happens when I move it. With that one I can now have sliders to correct for the fact that my camera was not perfectly level. But now let's go up to that icon at the top of my screen that looked like a little grid at an angle. And that's under a choice called Lens Corrections. So that's what got rid of the curvature that's here. Or, if my copy of the lens is more extreme than the one Adobe tested, I can bring it higher. If I don't want it to, I can bring down this slider called Vignetting and it wouldn't. Also what it's doing is it measures if the corners of the grid that they photographed was darker than the center and if it was it measures by how much and it compensates for that as well. Just in case your copy of the lens was a little different than the one Adobe had. Now, my copy of that lens may be slightly different than the version Adobe had, so after you turn that on, down here at the bottom there are two sliders, Distortion and Vignetting and you can push this up to say do more compensation or down to do less. When I turn on this checkbox, it'll use the information in that profile to try to straighten that. And that means that Adobe has tested a bunch of lenses, including the one that I shot with, which was a 12-24mm lens and they took a picture of a grid, and if they noticed any distortion in that grid, they measured by how much, and they saved it as what is know as a profile which described how much that lens bent the grid. Well there's a choice here that says Enable Profile Corrections. Well that's because the lens I was using distorted the look of the picture. Of the file you might notice this parts lower, this part is lower, the middle is a little bit higher. Notice the top of this huge picture frame has a bend to it. There's these settings, which are known as Transformation Settings, and then related to them there's another set of settings, if I go back to the Hand Tool that's up here, and actually go to a tab, I personally think this feature should be a tab, there's also this which is Lens Corrections, and the two often need to be used together. Well, when you click on that icon, then what's on the right side of your screen changes as if you went to a different tab, and let's see what's here. There is this icon, which, if you were in Lightroom, would be a category on the right side of your screen. Well let's look at the tab over here that is called well actually, in Camera Raw it's not a tab it's at the top here.

I'm just going to show you one other part of Camera Raw in fact I may open more than one picture here.
