      Thanks. *phew*
      It’s a GIMP function, a counterpart of an identical PhotoShop tool.

      I forget the exact name of the tool, but you start by conceiving a trapezoid, then keep dragging the corners around until things finally look ‘square / rectangular.’ You also have to adjust for ‘fisheye,’ normally.

      I used to reconstruct backglasses for the virtual pinball scene, and GIMP was precious for this kind of thing.

      Somewhere in the archives I believe I have more of the ‘Abbey Road’ pics. I even have a song to go along with it, if you like:

        Interesting, that sounds like a powerful tool to “straighten” almost any 2d surface you have a picture from a slant angle of.

        Cool! Although I was never good at playing pinball, I always found these forefathers of video games pretty interesting.

        What is that? It´s chill, a bit funky and has nice synths, at the same time I can´t really put it anywhere. Reminds me just a little of Dabeull, who slaps much harder and is more funky of course.

            Noooo, don´t make me choose!!! Honestly, I tried but I couldn’t. So instead I give you this impressively well recorded live concert:

            Dabeull Band - Live in Paris

            In general, I really like his vocoder singing and also his comedic side, so those two are definitely among my favorites:

            Dabeull - Johnny Indastudio

            Dabeull - INDASTUDIO Redux (I laughed so hard, I almost fell off my chair)

            While we´re at it, check out this, the sound is so incredible:

            L’Impératrice — Anomalie bleue

            Also, just in case you don´t know him yet, I very much recommend checking out Thundercat!

            I hope it´s not too much, I guess I got in a flow state again, sorry! 😅

              Awesome and excellent, wow…
              Note: Whilst simultaneously finding it “excellent & awesome,”
              Uh… as Harvey Pekar liked to say, hahaha. 😅

              No no no, that colossal idiot can sod right off.
              Like-- when I’m up on stage, there’s a fine line betwixt balancing any little talent I might possess versus showing off, like that moron tried to do just there.

              Goodness, that “song” absolutely blows chunks,
              And Yes-- I get the joke. I get the joke, I get the joke and… I GET THE JOKE.

              Sorry mate, but I feel like that dude is a complete idiot when it comes to that song. I do enjoy his other stuff, tho.

              EDIT: And never heard of Andy Warhol, is it not?

                Relax mate, no reason to get so negative. My comment was about the live concert in the first place. I put in the other two Dabeull links just for laughs. So how did you like the Dabeull concert, the L’Impératrice song and Thundercat?

                  Relax mate, no reason to get so negative.

                  I’m sorry for my harshness right there, Nackt Mull.
                  I liked Dabeull’s work plenty on the whole, and thank you for sharing! ^^

                  Eh, what is that phrase about an ungrateful giftee…? :S

                  So, no doubt this is a personal bias based on some years of going up on stage and performing for people-- like, I’m cool with funny concepts, outrageous mindfucks, and all that sort of thing. To me, that’s the domain of ‘wild artistry in the bush.’ Meaning, it’s beyond judgement, so maybe I crossed the line there about that one song.

                  TBH, I’m hugely insecure about boring people, and… so that’s on me. 😅
