Exit78 Photo of the Day #14
One of the things I like to do with photos of commercial (and other) buildings during post processing is to remove the width and height perspective. When a photo is taken of a building directly in front of them from ground level, the top of the building is narrower than the bottom and there may be a slight difference in height from one side of the building to the other. I use the perspective tool in PaintShop Pro to make the width equal at the top and bottom and the left and right sides of the building equal to each other, giving the resulting image a “squared-up” look.

The “P” and the “T” have long been missing from the three story brownstone Pabst Building in Ashland, Wisconsin, leaving those who might be interested, to wonder what the ABS represented.
Started in 1844 as the Jacob Best & Sons Brewery, by 1893 Pabst Brewing Company, as it was known from 1899 onwards, operated twelve offices in Wisconsin covering every part of the state and over forty offices and branches across the country. Frederick Pabst, son-in-law of Phillip Best, had joined the company in 1864 and helped turn it into the nation’s leading beer producer.1
