Perspective CorrectionOpen for Voting

I am not a pro with Adobe products, but all of the perspective correction tools I have seen in Photoshop or Lightroom seem to involve stretching the top part of an image until the sides are straight. What I am interested in is taking a photograph of a building and converting it to what would be the equivalent of an architectural elevation. This would involve straightening the image, but also stretching it vertically. I imagine this would involve calculating the difference between the bottom and top lengths of the skewed image and using that to calculate how foreshortened the image is, which in turn would allow for a calculated and graded stretching of the image. Imagine a brick wall 20 feet wide and 20 feet tall. All brick courses are the same height. But in a photo taken from the ground, the courses at the bottom would be the right height but those higher up would appear shorter, due to the perspective. At the same time the wall would taper inward in the photo as well. There must be a way to use a measurement of that taper to determine how much the photo should be stretched at each course of bricks. (or presumably each row of pixels in the image) At the bottom it would be negligible, and would increase more as you go up. If done properly the result would be a square image with all of the brick courses being the same height. Some algorithm would have to be created to allow this, but it seems mathematically logical... As an architectural historian, a tool like this would allow me to use images to make approximate vertical measurements of building elements.

Wacom Hell, always and forever 🙌Open for Voting

Thanks in advance for hearing me out.  One of my biggest issue in reinstalling my OS is getting the wacom tablet to work in Photoshop correctly. I need "windows ink" but not "pen and touch," I still get the little "alt" and the pop up text box but ok. Ah, right click works but not on the pallets. Why? This is such a broken system that when I think about migrating computers or reinstalling the OS I almost only think about how much it will suck for the week following bc of wacom+windows junk+photoshop.... I wish more than anyting that photoshop could have it's own solution. I mean there was that PSConfig.txt hack from many years ago so there must be a way to do it at the software level? Idellaly, and I think this is the case for most people, the mouse and tablet would more or less be the same but with pen pressure.... Honestly that's all the matters to most stylus artists - the rest is a workflow luxury but pen pressure, cant live without it.  Just a super simple intuative set of parameters to control tablet in phtoshop. Alas, instead we have all the junky windows bs burries in multiple system panels, constantly popping up, or behaving unexpectidly bc some micorsoft engineer who has never worked as a artist is gaming out all the "features" to impress the products team with. Its really sht for user expierence. And its been this way for a decade or more.  I wouldnt expect adobe to do anything about and they'll probably say it isn't possible. That ok, I have low expectation for any fixes or features that wont make for flashy youtube ads.  Thank you again for thaking the time.
