Correcting Perspective
Perspective issues, which can occur if the camera is not held horizontal or perpendicular to the object of the photo, can be common
in images taken with wide angle lenses. For example, if you take a photo of a tall building, looking up from street level, the building
can appear to bend in the photo. You can correct perspective issues using the tools in the Perspective group.
You can save your settings as a preset for future use.
