[magick-users] Perspective distortion / rectification with IM

[Wolfgang Hugemann]

No question this time, just praise for IM:

I have just tested the newly implemented perspective distorsion feature 
and found it exactly what I need. I work in accident recontruction and 
quite often I have to map automobile damage caught in a perspectively 
distorted image onto a plan parallel taking of a car of the same make 
and model.

This is very tedious work with all other programs I know in this 
respect. But with IM's new perspective distortion tool this is very 
rapid: just measure the co-ordintes of four points in the perspectively 
imperfect photo and the co-ordinates of their match points in the plane 
parallel taking and then IM do its job. Great!

We used to peform this task by the help of the "-fx" operator and a 
VB-Script, but IM's calculation of the perspective correction used to 
take quite a while with this older way of proceeding.

P.S.: I will soon provide Anthony with an convincing example.
