Distortion problem

Hope someone can help me with this.

This is a photo from Seville, around 3 years ago. D200, Tokina 12-24mm @ 12mm. My problem is the strange distortion of the building geometry, which I haven't seen (or understood) described before. It makes the closest edges of the building appear to be more acute than a right angle. I still have all the RAWs from this trip, and I have Adobe PSE 9. What is this distortion called, and can I correct it ?

in lightroom you can load a profile for the Tokina 12-24mm lens that will correct all distortions. You just load in the RAW and tell the lens make/model etc and it just works, why not try the trial for 30 days?

Thanks for the response Ben. I might try LR on my RAWs.

The D200 and the Tokina are history now (that was a lovely sharp lens though). This problem put me off anything more than mild wide angle, but lately I was thinking of revisiting the problem. If it was just an individual quirk of the Tokina 12-24mm, then I may consider wide angle again. I am currently coveting a Tokina 16-28mm.
