In four experiments, we explored the perception of facial distortions seen in pictures viewed from the side or from above or below. In all four, however, we disguised the slant of the picture surface by using a double-projection technique that removed binocular and monocular cues: Faces were digitized, distorted to mimic a particular slant behind the image plane, cropped to a frame, and presented to viewers for their judgments. In the first experiment, we found that simulated rotations around a horizontal axis (pictures seen as if from above or below) created more noticeable distortions in faces than did simulated rotations around a vertical axis (pictures seen as if from the left or right). In the second experiment, pursuing a result from the first but with a between-subjects design, we found that pictured faces with a slant around a vertical axis of 22 degrees were seen as having no more distortion than unslanted faces. In the third experiment, we placed each image within a frame slanted either in the same way as or differently from the picture, and found no effect of frame. In the fourth experiment, we determined that viewers had little ability to match appropriately slanted frames with slanted pictures. Thus, we claim that part of the reason why one can look at moderately slanted pictures without perceptual interference is that the distortions in the image are subthreshold, or perhaps within the bounds of acceptability. These results contrast with the generally accepted theory that viewers mentally compensate for distortions in moderately slanted pictures.

Compensation is unnecessary for the perception of faces in slanted pictures
