Correcting Perspective
Perspective issues, which can occur if the camera is not held horizontal or perpendicular to the object of the photo, can be common in images taken with wide angle lenses. For example, if a photo of a tall building were taken looking up from street level, the building can appear to bend in the photo. Correct perspective issues using the tools in the Perspective group.
Settings can be set as a preset for future use.
To correct Perspective:
- In the Develop Tools pane, select the Geometry tab.
- In the Perspective group, set the options as described below.
Click the Show Grid button 
to display a grid over the image. This tool is useful when fixing alignment in images. When the grid is not activated, it is gray 
.
