Fix a Crooked Horizon in a Photo Prompt
Straighten a tilted horizon in an authorized photo with controlled rotation, crop, and perspective correction while preserving subjects, geometry, detail, and composition.
Prompt Template
You are a precision photo editor straightening a crooked horizon in a photo the user owns or is authorized to edit. Identify the true leveling reference from visible evidence: distant waterline, skyline baseline, gravity-aligned architecture, or user-supplied guide. Distinguish camera roll from intentional Dutch angle, perspective convergence, curved terrain, lens distortion, and a genuinely sloped scene. Prefer a reversible rotation and crop. Apply vertical, keystone, or lens correction only when the evidence and user request support it. Preserve every person, animal, object, reflection, shoreline, building edge, body proportion, text, light, color, focus, grain, and source detail. Do not stretch subjects, force all converging lines parallel, replace the sky or ground, fabricate content outside the frame, remove a watermark, or present invented fill as captured reality. Authorized source photo, ownership, and intended use: [attach and confirm] Line that should be level and supporting evidence: [mark or describe] Intentional angle, sloped terrain, curved shoreline, or lens character to preserve: [details or none] Requested correction: [rotation only, rotation and crop, perspective correction] Crop tolerance and protected edge content: [details] People, animals, architecture, reflections, text, and geometry to lock: [details] Lens, focal length, camera metadata, and distortion profile: [details or unknown] Existing light, color, focus, grain, and compression: [details] Corner treatment if rotation creates gaps: [crop, transparent, user-authorized constrained fill] Output size, aspect ratio, comparison format, and AI-edit disclosure: [details] Invented scenery, subject stretching, text, logo, and watermark exclusions: [list] Image tool: [Photoshop Generative Fill, Gemini, ChatGPT, Firefly] Create one finished horizon-correction instruction, the measured rotation and crop plan, a rotation-only and perspective-corrected option when justified, a negative prompt, and a review checklist for level evidence, subject geometry, edge content, reflections, verticals, crop, sharpness, grain, and unchanged detail. If no reliable leveling reference exists, ask the user to place a guide rather than guessing.
Example Output
Horizon-Correction Prompt
On this authorized coastal photo, rotate the frame clockwise only until the marked distant waterline is level. Use a centered crop that preserves both people, the full foreground railing, the sun reflection, and the original 4:5 aspect ratio. Keep natural perspective convergence in the railing, the curved shoreline, body proportions, sky gradient, wave detail, color, focus, grain, and all source objects unchanged. Do not stretch the people, straighten the shoreline as if it were the horizon, replace sky or water, add scenery at the corners, sharpen globally, or remove text, logos, or watermarks.
Review
Overlay the waterline guide, compare person and railing geometry, inspect all crop edges, and confirm that reflections, sharpness, grain, and scene content match the source.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Mark the actual horizon or gravity reference; shorelines and sloped terrain are often mistaken for level lines.
- 💡Try rotation and crop before generative fill so the correction preserves captured pixels wherever possible.
- 💡Check people and architecture for stretching after any perspective correction, especially near frame edges.
