How To Correct Image Perspective

When your subject appears out of alignment or tilted, it can indicate that your image perspective is off. This is caused by the camera not being level or lined up correctly. You'll want to correct the image perspective to make everything line up better. Check out the guide below to learn how to correct image perspective in your pictures.
