www.dombower.com in this video i show you how to change the perspective of an image, especially important in architecture photography. in this photo i have taken a night shot of the front of a shop called mrs smith in edinburgh and with Gimp the free photo editing software i change the perspective of the image so that it looks like i am looking straight at the building not up at it. this is to combat converging verticals. photo copyright dom bower www.dombower.com

Nice “trick”. Let’s see if I can reverse that, letting it look as though I shot something really low.
(My D90 is at Nikon though to fix a bad case of stuck pixel clusters, which is something you’d say to be “pants”)

There are lots of good perspective correction tools available. Surely, most are not free. But one does a lot of correction in this area, investing in one of such apps makes sense.
Perspective Pilot – (straight lines only)
Altostorm Rectilinear Panorama – (curved and straight correction)
You can also try hugin, which is a free tool based on panotools. It can do pretty much anything as far as correction and stitching. But it’s a bit harder to use.
