Where Can I Find Perspective Correction Tool(s)
New to ON1 Photo Raw, I am having trouble find any tools in 2023 to make perspective corrections. Can someone help? Thanks

In Develop, right down at the bottom. It's called Transform. Note that it is different than the Transform in the left tool well.
It's also useful to have the User guide open when learning Photo raw.

Greatly appreciate the help. Had the UG open but had trouble finding this.

I have been urging On1 for a couple of years to improve this so-called Transform tool. It has no auto function and the keystone feature is very time-consuming to get right. As someone who does a lot of cityscapes, I have resorted to an external perspective editor, DxO ViewPoint, which does the job with just a couple of clicks.

Yes, compared to the perspective tools DXO products have , ON1's transform function does seem a bit retarded. Even more retarded are those in Luminar Neo, which only consist of vertical, horizontal and aspect sliders, as far as I can find..

I rarely use Neo: just for the occasional power line erase or sky replacement, when it works more easily than On1's version.
I seem to recall that even some years ago, before I stopped using it, LR had an auto perspective tool. Time for On1 to start thinking about "Perspective AI" perhaps?

I am an old guy who takes more than a few snapshots on the fly while riding my motorcycle (with a tethered Sony RX100 vii shooting raw in shutter priority mode). Needless to say, a lot of the shots are less than well-aimed given the need to keep eyes on the road. I used to rely on the conversion and perspective tools in DXO Photolab but the latest versions/updates of that stopped working on my system so it's back to LR or Viewpoint., When it worked, Photolab was OK for raw conversion and perspective correction but I threw it out yesterday for ON1. That said, you are correct in saying that ON1 needs to get with the perspective program.

Please add your +1 to my suggestion for Perspective AI in Photo Raw

John, can't you just use an older version of Photo Lab?

+1 added. As for older versions of Photolab, I had Ver.4, which suddenly quit working (win10 upgrade issue?) I upgraded to Photolab 6, which never did work correctly (mostly wouldn't respond to "Open With" and when it did, the image came up with no lens distortion correction and froze). It was then and there I switched to ON1 and am glad I did with the exception of its pitiful perspective correction tool.

I often use Affinity Photo for sorting out difficult perspective problems. To be honest, I generally find it better for cloning and object removal too. It's just a (minor) hassle right now the plugins aren't out yet to carry on as an Affinity workflow.
