Are you working in the wet darkroom, or the digital one? If the latter, you
just do a Crop with the Perspective box checked in Photoshop, and align the
sides of the image with the offending verticals. You end up with a square
again. This has been a feature of PS for years, & I suppose most other
programs have it now.
Every camera becomes a view camera this way!
