I'm a new Gimp users (2.2 on a PC) who's very impressed with the
program. Most of what I'm used to doing in Paintshop Pro (PSP) I find
I can do in Gimp very well. I have one awkwardness that I hope
someone can help me with.
I take photos of my wife's paintings quite regularly and need to
correct for perspective distortion because I don't get the camera
exactly centered on the painting.
In PSP there's a very hand perspective tool that allows one to
identify four corners of an object - a rectangle originally, but a
distorted trapezoid in the image. Activating the tool makes the
object a rectangle which I can then crop to get a clean image.
Is there a way of doing the same thing relatively easily in Gimp?
I know that I can use the path tool to create the boundaries of my
object and then can transform it visually to a rectangle (using
guides), but I'd love to have something easier than that, that makes
the edges exactly horizontal and vertical.
Thanks
