I took this sunset panorama on my last trip to NYC. See the building on the left side of the pic? It is kinda leaning, and I wonder if there is any way to fix this?

I guess the pic is ok like this, but the leaning building bothers me a little bit..

When you say you "took this sunset panorama", do you mean it is a panorama stitched from multiple photos, or this was a single photo taken with a "Panorama" setting, or ??

It was stitched from multiple photos.

Location is the rooftop of Rockefeller center. Very nice location btw. I think it is alot better than the tourist trap Imperial state building.

About the leaning building to the left. Perhaps the stitching went wrong? Maybe I should give it another try..

Lens correction filter in photoshop, on the finished image.

Rick, what software do you have on hand?

Duplicate the background layer and enlarge the canvas at the top about 20% (as shown).

Hit Ctrl+T to get a free transform box around the image. Hold Ctrl/Cmd and pull the top left handle
inward until the building is plumb. This might necessitate a slight counter-correction of the top-right
handle, but not nearly as much.

When both sides are plumb, you should grab the top middle handle and stretch the image upward just
a little (because the lateral squeeze "squashes" the perspective a bit). Then crop. You'll lose part of
the image on the left, unless you want to try cloning that back in.

(This is done in Photoshop, of course.)

A bit of cloning there on the left would save the tall building from the crop, so I'd say if you do have Photoshop Peano's advice will get you on track.

Nice shot(s).

The Lens Correction filter in CS wouldn't work on this. Peano's advice worked like a charm: (I shoot a lot of UWA stuff- I'm going to have to bookmark this thread)

Right. When the amount of "tilt" is different on each side of the image, as in this case, you need a free transform box so you can adjust each side independently.

That's awesome Peano. I needed to do this several times, but couldn't figure out how. Every search I did said to use the lens correction filter, which as you know didn't work. Thanks for the tip!
