So I took this shot last weekend:

but it's a bit distorted so that the bottom is wider. So I've been playing with the perspective correction tool and this is the best I can do:

but it doesn't look right to me and whatever I do seems wrong

suggestions? comments? any help would be greatly appreciated :confused:

I've tried to do the same thing with buildings with the same results. I'm using Lightroom, but so far no one has deemed Olympus lenses worthy of correction scripts, so I wing it and don't think I'm doing it right.

Lightroom 3 has a new lens correction feature. Haven't played with it much. I will give it a try and see what I can come up with.

Oh..if you have that can you also try out the callibration part of it? I'm having a hard time with that with one of my lens and not getting very far with my old programs :( Much appreciated.

Wish I could help you out Bambi..but I am clueless for this.

I agree not perfect. I think the only solution is a tilt shift lens.
