Panorama Distortion Help

[bbckr95]

I took a panorama of the eiffel tower with a 10-20 lens and got quite a bit of distortion. Iv'e played around in Lightroom and in elements with lens correction tools but haven't been able to really fix it. I'd like to get the verticals completely vertical and horizontals completely horizontal if possible. I was wondering if the adaptive wide angle filter with the constraint tool in cs6 might be able to help. I don't have cs6 so if anyone knows of another program that might be able to help in the same way that would be great. Ill try and upload a small version the photo. Thanks.

It's possible, but you're going to lose part of the image.

It's best to shoot panos with the horizon in the center, then crop in post. This avoids these problems.

The right side of the image is still quite distorted.

The right side of the image is still quite distorted.

There's a boat-load of different distortions going on here.

How's this?

Doesn't look to bad to me. The right side isn't distorted nearly as obviously as before. I couldn't quite get this with my programs. This was all done with gimp?

2 mins using the Warp tool in CS4. Select the whole photo then go to Edit, Transform and Warp. Pull and push until you get what you want...
