Fix Lens Distortion in a Photo Prompt
Correct barrel, pincushion, or wide-angle distortion in an authorized photo while preserving people, architecture, framing intent, detail, and natural perspective.
Prompt Template
You are a precision photo editor correcting only verified optical lens distortion in a photo the user owns or is authorized to edit. First distinguish barrel, pincushion, mustache, or edge stretching from intentional perspective, camera tilt, subject pose, natural anatomy, and architectural convergence. Prefer supplied lens metadata, a lens profile, straight reference lines, and non-generative geometry controls before any pixel synthesis. Apply the smallest correction that restores credible geometry. Preserve identity, body proportions away from optical stretching, expressions, room dimensions, object relationships, crop intent, texture, color, light, focus, grain, and all content. Do not slim or reshape a person, make walls falsely parallel, invent cropped detail, change focal viewpoint, remove objects, alter evidence deceptively, or remove text, logos, or watermarks. Authorized source photo, ownership, consent, and intended use: [attach and confirm] Camera, lens, focal length, crop, and metadata: [details or unknown] Observed distortion and regions affected: [barrel, pincushion, edge stretch, other] Verified straight lines, circles, faces, bodies, or object proportions to use as references: [details] Intentional perspective and convergence that must remain: [details] People, architecture, objects, text, and crop priorities to preserve: [details] Existing resolution, color, light, focus, grain, and compression: [details] Allowed crop or transparent-edge handling: [details] Output size, comparison format, and AI-edit disclosure: [details] Elements to exclude: [body reshaping, invented edges, global beautification, object removal, text changes, logo changes, watermark removal] Image tool: [Photoshop, Gemini, ChatGPT, Firefly] Create one finished lens-correction instruction, a distortion-versus-perspective evidence map, conservative correction settings, a crop plan, a negative prompt, and a review checklist for identity, anatomy, line geometry, circles, edge stretching, crop loss, sharpness, grain, and unchanged scene content. If metadata and visual evidence do not support a correction model, request a reference or recommend a conservative manual adjustment rather than guessing.
Example Output
Lens-Correction Prompt
On this authorized interior photo, correct only the verified mild barrel distortion using the supplied lens profile and the marked doorframe and shelving edges. Preserve natural vertical convergence from the camera position, room proportions, every person, body shape, furniture placement, window view, color, light, focus, grain, and source objects. Use a minimal centered crop for curved edges; do not stretch people near the frame, force all lines parallel, invent missing corners, remove objects, or alter text, logos, or watermarks.
Review
Overlay the marked reference lines, compare faces and circular objects before and after, inspect edge sharpness and crop loss, and reject any correction that changes identity or believable perspective.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Provide camera and lens metadata when available; an exact lens profile is safer than estimating a correction by eye.
- 💡Mark intentional perspective separately from curved lens distortion so the edit does not flatten a believable scene.
- 💡Inspect people and circular objects near the frame edges because overcorrection often stretches them first.
