Before and after...

Update! Shows you what a durp I am…never realized I was losing an entire column of windows due to the cropping after perspective correction. Also, the amount of black around the windows was a bit distracting. So…NEW ATTEMPT!

This time I converted the image in DT without perspective control, resized the canvas to create extra space around the edges of the image on the left and right. Then took it into DT again, this time as a TIFF to apply the automatic perpective correction which left me with an extra column of windows on the left side.

I used liquid resize (in Gimp) twice - once with vertical masks to protect the absolute position of the windows vertically while removing some of the black space between the columns. Next with horizontal masks to do the same for the horizontal spacing. Why separately for either direction? Because I noticed that, when protection-masking the individual windows all at once and then resizing, the windows ended up being placed irregularly.

Finally I literally moved the top left window somewhat to the right so it would line up with its pals in the same column.

I find that retaining all of the windows adds to a more graphic image with better (for lack of a different terminology) “rhythm”.
