IMO perspective correction can be overdone. A tall buildning for instance, photographed from below, should show - to some extend - converging linies - as a it is a fact of life, that objects appear smaller when they are further away. As kind of an answer to you question, Photoshop also offers a distortion tool. With this it's possible to change the shape of a photograph more. With this tool you'll need to use the mask tool first, not the crop tool: Rectangular mask - edit - transform - distort (or something like that - it's translated from the Danish version of Photoshop CS).

I always get the same effect as Brian, I correct the perspective (with the Photoshop feature) but the building doors are squashed vertically. Is there another way to do it?
