hmmm.. i don't know what that means ;/
i'm sure i should be embarrased about that, but ah well. the distort tool in photoshop would correct it in one mouse drag. Please tell me to fuck off, if i'm being really patronising

But you can use the Crop Tool set to perspective

Yep a little trick learnt a few years back
drag out a crop selection and on the option bar is a checkbox for Perspective which allows you to adjust the corners of the selection - simples!

What's more is that you can set the dimensions on the Options bar of the final crop
somewhat like a context aware scale - limitless possibilities especially for scaling images to fit for website design for example.

ooo.. i just had a quick play with lens correction
it looks like it could be useful, but like you described, a pain in the ass when it's not doing what you want it to

my father in law gave me a photography book for my b'day the other week
i don't have a camera!
2/3rds of it though cover photoshop tools though and it's written in simple terms so i'll be going through that soon. most of what i know i've just learned through messing around and with youtube vids
