Hi Paul that's what I did with transformations. I hoped there would be semi automatic way with a filter or program that "knows" the Pentax lens distortions. The lens filter in Photoshop CS2 seems capable, I will try that the next time. The Kit lens distorts quite a bit at the wide end. greetings Markus

Give it a name. Then go to edit and choose transform/perspective. Grab the handles on the corners of the pic with your mouse and alter the perspective. Hit return(enter) and save.
