Hi Frank,

That's why I suggested to use a rendersize and camera that matches the aspect ratio of the photo. > > Perhaps it's old news to some, but I was exremely pleased when I > found out: > lens angle, aperture, and shutter speed are automatically > recorded in a RAW > file. Saves heapes of work and loads of guessing when using a > zoom lens !! Yes this helps a lot to find a rough setting, but because of lens imperfections it's not instantly perfect. Well that's what I found. When I took this picture of the couch the camera had quite a wide view angle. Straight lines get bend stronger when zooming out, which shows a serious imperfection. CS2 has a nice filter to correct this bulging but I'm afraid that such corrections do not improve correlation between the real life lens and the calculated lens. The only time I saw a good picture when a friend of mine took a photo of one of my paintings with a technical camera with 4 x5 inch negatives. With this camera the painting was perfectly rectangular.
