    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.
