Help with distortion

[mattyg]

Hiya Folks

Can anyone give me some tips on how to remove the distortion on this shot. I hadn't noticed the Legs of the Pier until someone pointed them out.

I have LR5 and PS CC

Thanks

filter > distort > lens correction

then as below - click for bigger

I level to a central point, and then vertical perspective trasnsform

change the edge scale, and then you can decide whether to clone in the missing corners, or crop them out

This was CS2 - but I presume the CC has similar, LR5 probbaly does too

LR5 has a function within the develop module that will cure this. Various options including fully auto which I have found works 90% of the time

Thanks folks. I has missed that adj. I think I had tried everything else but that one.

Cheers. I'll post up the finished shot later......When its finished'ish

Also.... ensuring your camera is parallel with the ground will reduce distortions.
