Perspective Warp, as Adobe calls it, will let you adjust the perspective of parts of your shot while keeping the rest of the image intact. While Rainn Wilson is rather annoying in his commentary, Adobe’s Sara Kong shows off how current perspective correction tools Photoshop work compared to the developmental Perspective Warp tool.

The above sneak peek is not in the current version of Photoshop CC that is due out in June, but is an early prototype technology that is under development for (potentially) future Photoshop updates.
