Perspective Crop unintuitive/not useful with multiple Artboards

Perspective Crop affects all layers in a document.

 

Currently that means that

  • if you have a document with multiple artboards
  • and you want to correct keystoning on one,
  • using Perspective Crop effectively deletes the content of every other artboard than the active one.

 

I'm currently trying to correct the perspective on 33 screenshots and the perspective crop tool is usually much easier to use than the Transform > Perspective tool, not not in this case.

 

Photoshop 26.2 for Windows 11 Pro, 23H2

 

Meta: none of the automatic tag sugestions are accurate/useful for this post and I can't type my own, so I had to pick one arbitrarily or be barred from posting.

Photoshop is not a great fit for multi-page documents, despite the existence of Artboards. 

 

If you insist on such an approach I would recommend converting the contents of the affected Artboard into a Smart Object and doing the Crop inside of that.

What about Edit>Perspective Warp or Filter>Camera Raw Filter>Geometry?
