Question

Photoshop Adaptive Wide Angle filter degree horizontal adjustments

Anyone know the degree information when manually adjusting the object using Adaptive Wide Angle filter. Adobe appears to claim there is no reference to alignment. Gives me the perception this run contrary to personal experience. Which leads me to question why a manual tweak is necessary. Once a reference line is drawn, the filter should follow the line as a point of reference.

@westdr1dw When using Photoshop's Adaptive Wide Angle filter, it's true that you won't see exact degree numbers or precise alignment feedback when drawing correction lines, which can feel a bit counter-intuitive since you'd expect it to lock perfectly. The filter works by visually interpreting your drawn lines to correct complex lens distortions, but because these distortions are often tricky and your line drawing might not be perfectly precise, a little manual fine-tuning is often needed. So, even after drawing your guide lines, don't be surprised if you still need to nudge things slightly by hand to get a perfectly straight and natural-looking result; think of the initial lines as a strong starting point, and the manual adjustments as the final polish to make it look just right.

Thanks, I personally like the Adaptive Wide Angle filter. More out of curiosity on the values when manually changing the perspective. If you set the line, then select the inside dot where the circle is you will see the two arrow points. Once you begin to move the dot up or down you should see numbers as you move the dot. The values appear to be degrees horz or verticle. Almost need a magnifying glass to see the value. No complaints though.
