I took this last night with my 10-20. I appreciate that WA lenses are prone to distortion but I love this shot apart from the converging verticals at the edges.

How do I fix this ? I have PSE11 ( this version of the shot is slightly cropped so I have more room to play with on the original if required )

Have you tried Filter > Correct camera distortion in PSE? Lightroom has presets specific to lens types to correct distortion.
 
I had a quick try but the result looked unnatural so i deleted it.. :(

It's probably my lack of a ability in PP that's the problem...

Hi not sure if this is what you are wanting to do or if I have done it properly.

What I did was _use cs6.
Opened image duplicated layer then press ctrl +t to transform. Then put finger on crtl key (keep pressed down) then pull the top right hand corner up and out.
Do this with various corners until you like what you see.
If any gaps appear around the edges of the image just clone them out.


I'm not a pro but find this works for me.
If I recall I got this tip off here at some point in the past.

That's better, thank you. Will have a go later
 
Download the free trial of Capture One, it has a converging verticals correction, you put two reference points on each side, one at the top of a vertical, one at the bottom, so that it knows how much lean to correct, then click apply, it corrects it, and crops the image to size.

It works a treat, my TS-E is 24mm so if I am shooting architecture wider than that I compose very loosely and let Capture One correct it.

Great shot BTW, saw it on PH.
 
Is " want the" Yorkshire speak for " wasn't there" ? :D

It was bloody bright, definitely. Nature is a PITA sometimes ( as is having a few glasses of red before taking pictures...ssshhhh ;) )
