After I took the picture I thought of all the photo processing apps that I have and could not think of one that can correct parallax (making sloping vertical lines vertical again caused by the camera tilting upwards in this case). I probably have an app that does it but could not think of one. I have dozens and dozens of photo processing apps and just don't remember all the capabilities each one contains. So off I went to Google to find some help. Turns out that the first recommendation was my scanning app--Jot Not Pro. I had not thought about that one because I have never used it for photos. I use it to scan documents and convert them to PDF documents. Once I set the app with no enhancements and full size capture, I just placed the four corner marks on the painting corners and...PRESTO! Parallax fixed! Cool! Now I have a new resource for photos when needed. Since I stopped searching after I found this solution with an app I already use regularly, I still don't know if any of the dozens and dozens of other photo apps on my iPhone or iPad will also fix parallax issues. I left that one for another day.
Then it was off to my TouchRetouch app to remove the name plates under the mounted heads. TouchRetouch is just the most amazing app I have. I am constantly blown away when I just paint over the item I want removed, click on the "process" button and it magically disappears. Its simplicity and the results, even when the areas are complicated, are just so awesome! It really is magic. I call it my abracadabra app. I don't use this app a lot but when I do, WOW!
Anyway, today's photo may not be all that great but the garage mural is really impressive. And I also now have a new photo processing app (even if it is not meant primarily for photos) in my quiver...
