Nice Kitty

Thinking of trying a circular (or elliptical) crop.
That would hide the dirty paint (car was about to be washed).

Apple iPhone 14 Pro

I hope you know how much I appreciate your generosity, Jim. Sitting down to try new techniques at 10:30 PM on a weekday just isn't reasonable. Gotta have some real time without any pressure or distractions. Thanks again.

LOL.

My secret way to learn on these is just make a copy of the photo to play with.
Then try one slider at a time, moving from far left to far right - and watching what it does. Pretty soon you figure it out.

Thanks. Found it. Instantly lost. Not sure whether to scale, distort, skew, apply perspective, spindle, or mutilate. Probably need to dig into all this after I'm fired or retired.

Dave, Photoshop Elements has a Transform function (like Lightroom) that will do this.

I must be a moron. I tried straightening in Elements, and it turned the image about 45 degrees. While I didn't see a reflection tool, haze removal did sharpen the image somewhat.

Dave - I see that, but you can adjust for that. You don't need to go all the way to Photoshop.

I shot at an angle to minimize my reflection.

You could also try a vignette plus a little straightening.

I certainly would call that hot stuff. Paul
