Photographers have been correcting perspective in the darkroom (by tilting the head or easel) for over a hundred years.  So why shouldn't digital photographers have the same capability!

  

  Step 1 - Rotate:  (if necessary)

        - VIEW ... SHOW ... GRID

        - On TOOL Palate, MEASURE TOOL (under Color Sample Tools)

        - Find a line closest to center of image and draw a line with MEASURE TOOL.

        - IMAGE ... ROTATE CANVAS ... ARBITRARY ... OK

       

  Step 2 - Perspective Correction:

      - SELECT ... ALL  (marching ants will appear around image)

      - EDIT ... TRANSFORM ... DISTORT

      - pull square handles until lines in the image line up with grid ... ENTER

      - VIEW ... SHOW ... GRID (uncheck)

  

  

     Option:

         - SELECT ... ALL   (marching ants around image)

         - EDIT ... TRANSFORM ... SKEW

         - hold the Ctrl key down, hit the minus (-) key   (shrinks picture for changes)

         - click on anchor points to modify
