Nice demo.  It's funny.  When I have used the features in PS or Lightroom to 
correct for the keystone effect of pointing a camera upward, I play and play 
and usually get the lines nice and straight as in your second example, but 
after looking at it for quite some time, I usually go back to the original, 
or at least to one that is less perfectly corrected, as the perfect one just 
looks funny.  Maybe it is because after 40+ years of photography, I have 
just gotten use to the effect, and expect the effect when I view a photo 
that I know was taken in this manner.  So, I will go uncorrect the image and 
maybe go  half way to perfect lines and it looks better to my eye.  Maybe my 
eye needs adjustments.  Maybe I should have been weaned on a view camera 
with all the shifts and tilts so I would have grown up not expecting 
keystone looking photos.

Do I need help?

But more on topic, does PTlens do things that PS and Lightroom cannot do?
