Correcting portraits taken with too wide lenses

Post by tomczak »

It's well known that using too wide lenses for portraits probably won't make you many friends. This example shows how this could be corrected in PWP post-processing. I used Displace transformation on the original, in circular mode, negative magnification and the face covered with diffused mask.

A discussion on how to change the centre of circular 'shrinking' by adding borders to the image, and then cropping it back again.
