What I want to do is take a scanned distortion free image and distort it to -6% using photo shop but their standard distortion routine seems to produce results that are way different from what I've seen on pictures taken through WA lenses that distort. You can appreciate pincushion or barrel but only at the centre of the image while the edges seem unaffected. I just want to get a feel for how the pics will look before buying it. I'll try to post some pics.
