determining orginal dimensions

Message par Shinnen »

Hi All,
This may be asking the impossible, but here goes.
As some of you probably know I have a friend who takes a lot of pictures of artworks, which she sends to me, mainly for straightening. (Usually the perspective has to be corrected.) Recently, after 'fixing' one, I noticed that the moon was elliptical. To me, this meant that I didn't have the height to width ratio right...... so I corrected it by increasing the height until the moon was once again round. This got me to wondering.... how often am I getting the H/W ratio wrong. Now here's the impossible question. I know what the original dimensions of the picture are; but is there a way of knowing what the dimensions of an artwork (usually rectangular) are, in the picture. Often I can make a good guess, by making the subject 'look right', but not always. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
...... john

it is difficult, perhaps you can use the plugin Measurements.
With this plugin you can get pixel distance between 2 points. If you calque the distance of a square or round object (width/height) perhaps it is possible to calc the ratio for correction...
