Injectivity makes the images of any three distinct points distinct. By the ordered-frame result, there is a projective transformation agreeing with the given map on three chosen points. Composing by reduces to an injective map fixing those points and preserving every cross-ratio. Change coordinates so that the three points are .
For any other point with affine coordinate , the convention in the source gives
Preservation therefore forces the image of to have the same coordinate . The normalized map fixes every point and is the identity. Undoing the normalization proves the original map is exactly , hence projective. No prior continuity or surjectivity assumption is needed.
