  • Starting with the initial photo (frame included)
  • If the colors don't look exactly right, and if there is something in the picture that is naturally gray/white, insert a color correction step here.
  • With the crop tool, crop the image to the smallest rectangle that still contains the whole painting (this can leave some bits of the frame).
  • Start the perspective tool, and set it to Direction: Corrective and the Clipping: Clip
  • Drag the four handles in the corners to the 4 corners of the painting, and apply the transform. This will put just the painting in the canvas
  • If there are optical distortions in the picture, there can be small bits of the frame left on the sides, it yours to decide to crop the picture a bit more at that point or to keep these or to fix the problem by other means (cloning....)
  • Compute the aspect ratio (width/height) of the picture you obtained with the AR of the original picture (0.8) and scale the image vertically or horizontally to restore the aspect ratio.

Following these directions what ends up happening is parts of the canvas get chopped off around the edges.

Screenshot?

Or use Clipping:Adjust and after the transform is applied Image ➤ Fit canvas to layers. But then you will have to crop.
