Step 11:
Go to the Lens Corrections panel, click
on Manual at the top, and then drag
the Distortion slider to the right until
the walls on either side look straight (be
careful not to go too far and end up with
them bowing inward). This does a great
job of fixing the problem, but it also
introduces a new problem, which is that
there are now gray gaps around all four
outside edges (it's most pronounced on
the top and bottom edges), where the
photo was literally “pinched in” to fix
the bowing. So, those areas will have to
be cropped away (but don't do it yet—
there's a very easy fix for this).
Step 12:
Simply turn on the Constrain Crop check-
box below the Transform sliders in the
Lens Corrections panel (shown here circled
in red). This helps us big time by resizing
the crop border perfectly (and automati-
cally), so the gray gaps are cropped off, and
as much of our image area is retained as
possible. How handy is that? (
Note:
This
is the same as turning on the Constrain
to Warp checkbox in the Crop Overlay
tool's options.)
