You want it to look level, not necessarily be level. That's what I thought too, the camber of the pier surface in front of the building in the background doesn't help at all (except to keep the place dry , of course) I concentrated on the water. The out of true of the fence at the bottom left is probably lens distortion, but if I try and correct it the end of the sofa goes all trapezium shaped.

Yes, that's not fair :'( ). > > It's a tough one, for sure. :-) 'tis indeed!! > > Dick > >> Philippe, >> I couldn't resist - why do you post shots like this so early in the >> morning? ;-) >> Anyway, I looked at it from all angles, agreed, disagreed, put a >> fine grid over it, played around with it and took 10 minutes to tweak >> a couple of things.. >> I think everything is horizontal or vertical now, but,unfortunately, >> I lost a bit of the lower part by correcting the perspective. >> I also applied a tiny touch of manual distortion correction.(BTW what >> lens was it?, I may have a lens profile here somewhere to get an >> accurate correction) >> >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/pano Your shot >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/pano_edited_1 whether >> it's straight I'll leave to your judgment >> >> I also removed a slight colour cast (but that's maybe on my laptop >> TFT-screen) I couldn't be bothered firing up the big machine in the >> office, so if the colours are wrong blame Fujitsu-Siemens and >> Adobe-Gamma. >> cheers >> Douglas >> >> Philippe Orlent wrote: >> >>> Op 19-nov-05, om 01:09 heeft Richard S.
