You did a good work Jeff, I don't as Hoppy says if it will be necessary 12
hours a day..., but your first 12 hrs has given good results!
Saludos cordiales

lens anymore.

So I grabbed this kind of posed-looking (though it wasn't) picture outside
the radio station, and the original

looked, well, the way pictures with the camera tilted down look --
converging verticals.  Back in the day, if I'd been trying to get fancy and
correct for that, I'd have busted out the tilt-shift lens (if I happened to
be lugging it around with me).  But now, in this brave modern world, I've
(finally -- please don't laugh too much) stumbled across the magic of the
Free Transform in Photoshop.  We don't need no stinkin' shift lenses!

Of course, Kathryn tells me he looks kind of pinheaded in the tweaked
version.  I don't know if I'm completely sold, either.  But it's a cool new
(to me) trick.
