Hello Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I had a beer at this restaurant after climbing the great wall at Huang Hua and thought the sign was kind of fun.

The quality of the photo is rather poor, I used a simple compact APS camera. I tried to enhance the colors and sharpness a bit, but I guess the humour of the picture comes across anyway.

Any suggestions on how to make it look a bit less tilted? I tried cropping off the top of the roof, but it only got worse.

Hi Simon

Looks like a great place you found there and not at all a tourist trap *grin*

About the tilt, I don't think this picture is really tilted, it is just a matter of perspective seeing that the bottom line and the top line of the restaurant is converging. There is a perspective correction tool in PS that can fix this if you want it to. Just select the whole pictures and go Edit>Transform>Perspective, then pull the corners.

Otherwise, for tilted pictures, you just rotate them right, there is a good tutorial for that here. (again using PS)

Good luck!
