replacement for missing transform->warp tool in Photoshop Elements?

Hi.

I just upgraded to PSE10 but, unfortunately, it's still missing the warp transform from the full PS

I have some panoramas I created from wide-angle photos in a small room. As is common, some of the straight wall/ceiling lines appear curved. From what I've found online, the warp transform could fix this in seconds, but PSE doesn't have it. Any suggestions? Any 3rd-party pluggins to do this (that cost less than PS!).

Thanks,

David (who is always trying to do the one thing the program can't do...)

Had the same question, might not quite work for what your doing but try the image > transform > skew

Also did you try the different options in the photomerge dialog?

Maybe if you post an example we could think of a way to do it in pse without plugins.

There are also several free plugins for dealing with panos that need tweaking.

Whoa! Looks like a little judicious cropping is what's needed :

If you're talking about barrel distortion, try Filter>Camera Distortion and see if that can help you.

Just played a bit with that. Looks like I would have to try and correct each of the source images separately and then create the pano. I'll have to play with that tomorrow.

Here's a very rough example of using a combination of the Filter>Distort>Liquify (warp tool) in combination with making some selections and some rubber (clone) stamping to straighten out

the uneven liquify. In pse 10 you could probably use the Healing Brush Tool in place of the clone stamp tool. I was testing out a new installation of windows xp so i had to use a very old version of photoshop.

(don't have any version of elements yet on that computer)

after liquify (just did the ceiling and part of the window)

Making some selections along the wavy edges and using the clone stamp tool to fill in the green to straighten.

Nope. I really miss a good Warp Mesh tool (that PaintShopPho has), too.

The best you can try in PSE is the Liquify filter, using the "Shift pixels" mode. It can be really tricky, so you'll have to experiment with different brush sizes and brush pressures.

I'm interested in seeing if anyone has found a 3rd party plugin, also....
