Thegolden triangle is a rule of thumb invisual composition of photographs, paintings, and other visual art—especially those that contain elements with diagonal lines. The rule visualizes the frame divided into four triangles of two different sizes, by drawing one diagonal from one corner to another, and then two lines from the other corners, touching the first at 90-degree angles. There are a couple ways to apply this:
1. Filling one of the triangles with the subject[1]
2. Placing the diagonal elements so that they run along two of the lines[2]
Photoshop has an option that puts guidelines for the golden triangle in the crop tool (in this case, it is simply called "triangle").[3] These guidelines can be flipped horizontally.
