Level it, which will crop edges a little or a lot, depending on how tilted it was. Similarly, it\u2019s best to keep other significant horizontals and verticals parallel to the frame. Perspective correction will distort elements within the frame unequally to do just this and crop edges unequally. (In these situations, plan to crop and shoot a little more than you need.) If, on the other hand, you\u2019re trying to create an imbalanced topsy-turvy effect to add dynamism, tilt them substantially. A lot looks deliberate. A little looks sloppy.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43177\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Crop_None_750-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43176\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Crop_In_750-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"657\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Distraction<\/b><\/p>\n<br><script src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api.js\"><\/script><form method=\"post\" id=\"los-pp-form\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" style=\"background-color:#eee;border:1px solid #C0C0C0\"><tr><td colspan=\"2\">Insights Members can login to read the full article.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Email:<\/td><td> <input name=\"los_pp_email\" type=\"text\"><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"2\"><button class=\"g-recaptcha\" type=\"submit\" data-sitekey=\"6LecTYkqAAAAAHJvkyBxFs7D81oS4wjaoHknShEt\" data-callback=\"onSubmit\">Login<\/button> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/blog\/get-news\/\">Sign up<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/form><script> function onSubmit(token) { document.getElementById(\"los-pp-form\").submit(); } <\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A crop can make a good photograph great.
