Wikipedia is available in many languages so you can take your choice; I only have English. Barrel distortion shows up mostly in wide angle lenses which I assume you had to use because of the tight space in the flat. One solution would be two shots with a longer focal length lens and then stitching the images together in Photoshop, i.e., make a panorama of an interior. And my solution to camera tilt is a tripod and a spirit level fixed to the camera to make sure it is level to begin with or, again, a correction of the perspective in Photoshop, which works very well for small tilts. Good luck! Bill On Nov 26, 2008, at 7:21 AM, <linda.vermeiren@xxxxxxxxxx> <linda.vermeiren@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Dear William and Chris, What is in English a "barrel" distortion...

It is a very appealing, well furnished home. In the third and fourth pictures I notice a bit of barrel distortion toward the right edges, and in the fifth and others, a bit of camera tilt. Love the cat! I am being "picky" about your pictures because I have the same problems with my interior shots and have to work very hard to arrive at the high quality that you have shown in your pictures. I'll explain that word, which may be unfamiliar to you, because it could be an American-only idiom: "picky" means "paying attention to small, insignificant details." But they caught my eye.
