I have been using Lightroom and Photoshop CC for almost two years now. The other day I needed to square the lines on some architectural photographs and found that if the CC version still has perspective correction capability like older versions of Photoshop, it is not obvious how to access or use it in the CC version. Can anyone help?

I seldom use the Photoshop Perspective correction, (because I'm not too good with it), but, I use Lightroom's Transform utility a good deal, and
that solves the perspective problems quickly and easily, at least for me.

On the the edit menu there is Perspective Warp and also Transform > Warp.

The Perspective Warp tool is great for architecture and here is a link to how to use it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BToknsjlENM

I don't see why not. It'd be part of the crop tool set. I've relied on that numerous times when doing architectural work and not able to correct in camera. It works quite well. Now, the disclosure, I'm still using CS6. I assume that the tool works the same as it would in CC.

It does. I use it frequently. I also use the tool in photoshop's raw processor. Both work well for me.

What I've learned, almost immediately, was that one has to plan on using that tool. Photograph a bit more of the scene, as the crop tool will remove some of the scene in it's process.

If it's not too extreme, on Photoshop CS6 (I think it's the same on Photoshop CC), I just go to filter / lens correction, choose the custom tab, use the horizontal and vertical perspective and remove distortion and scale sliders. Then crop to remove the missing edges.

Thank you Linary along with everyone else who helped. The U-tube video answered everything.

In PS Elements it is called correct camera distortion. Extremely easy to use.
But you need lots of room on all sides around the object being corrected or it will be cropped and some of the subject lost.
It really does come in handy for architecture and other similar perspective distortions. I use it a lot especially when the distortion is slight it cleans things up.

Not necessarily. It depends on which direction you pull the net. One way will crop the scene, the other will add white space.
