Vertical Lines Straightened

As suggested by Craigca, I played around with straightening the vertical lines in a previously posted image. In Photoshop, I went to Edit, Transform, Skew and shrunk the bottom corners of the image (pulled the left and right corners toward the middle of the image) thus, straightening the vertical lines.
I think it was a major improvement.
Thanks Craigca!
Happy Easter everyone!

From what I see keystoning was also corrected. It looks to me that some cropping will be necessary in the final image but that should be the less of the worries. I tend to make corrections using Perspective but this one is very handy also.
Thank you for posting this.

Have you tried using Lightroom and hitting "auto" in Transform? You can also guide the changes there. I find it easier to use than Photoshop.

I just spent a little time with it. It does about the same thing but with far fewer steps. You have showed me a great time saver. Thanks,

If it has to do with working less, I am your man (LOL).

I found when I did this you lose something in the height of the building and this does look a little 'squashed'. It looks worse on Churches with tall spires. I got around this by adding a little to the frame and stretching the image upwards till it looked right. Not used photoshop for years now so can't tell exactly how I did it, but I'm pretty sure it's all in the same suite of tools.

Yep, digital photography and high-end Photo Editors have relegated my 28mm Perspective Control lens to the bottom of my camera bag. It's great to be a Monday Morning Quarterback when you can actually affect the outcome. Nice work.

Excellent result!! Light Room Perspective Control is a lifesaver for me also.

Both are fine- I like the exposure - it shows a lot of detail and there's hardly any glare!
A little "key-stoneing" is OK.
