Correcting verticals

A simple Photoshop routine.

The eye is exceptionally sensitive to parallelism and hence to leaning verticals. Hang a picture on the wall just a few minutes of arc out of level and anyone will spot the error immediately. Leaning verticals in photographs, where none are called for, are every bit as objectionable.

Correcting these is easy and better done in Photoshop than in Lightroom with its limited controls.
