I'm trying to vertically straighten the right of this photo(attached) in Photoshop CC, but don't know how. The Adaptive Wide Angle filter doesn't do the job either...

Any suggestions?

TIA

The image exhibits perspective distortion sometimes referred to as "keystoning" - the camera is tilted upward relative to the horizon, so vertical lines converge as they go toward the top of the image. If you only want to correct this on the "right" side of the image, where would the "correction" stop as you move toward the left side of the image? The camera is also rotated (clockwise if viewing the camera from behind, looking through the viewfinder) which also adds to the issue.

You can try the ACR filter "Upright" tool and see if that gives you the look you are going for. In the process, you may lose image area on the edges because of cropping during distortion correction, and you may have to scale the image vertical to reestablish proportions of the objects like the chandelier.

You can also use the Puppet Warp Tool to make arbitrary warps and distortions to the image. You can pin the image elements on the left that you do not want to change and then apply a few pins on the right and move them until you achieve the desired effect.

If you turn IMAGE EDITING OK on (User CP/Edit Profile) someone might give it a shot.

Not certain exactly what you are going for but I was able to get to this image using the Lens Corrections in the Camera Raw Filter:

I've already tried that, but it's cropping the photo too much to be of any meaning, ruins the whole composition.

Using the tools that's going to happen. There really isn't any way around that.

Yea. You can't add what's not there so this is a common trade off.

You have to wait for PS CC (2020) and the "I don't know what was there but I'll make something up" feature or just go back and take the photo again with a different lens or multiple shots you can stitch together.

Here's a quick attempt with PSCC Perspective Warp straightening out both sides. There are still a few "kinks" that could probably be fixed if I took more time. It's an interesting exercise but probably not very useful. I've had good luck with Perspective Warp for things like an exterior shot of a building, but there's not much to work with here. EDIT: see below.

Wait! I'm a bit out of practice with Perspective Warp. Here's a better attempt doing a manual warp instead of letting PSCC do all the work, then using Content Aware Fill on the corners. The fill isn't perfect, but with some care probably could be made to look OK. Probably closer to what you were asking for.

If you're trying to make the lines completely vertical, EDIT > TRANSFORM > DISTORT .... You'll lose part of the photo though ..

The way you took the photo, there is no way to fix it and not lose portions of it. Not only do you need to rotate it, but change the converging lines. Something to be aware of the next time.

Really nothing new to add but it was a fun exercise using multiple iterations with the Transform tool.
The outer grey area represents the original image boundary.
