The image resolution has nothing to do with the problem, I meant you could lose and in fact you lose an area of the original image you are correcting, it could be significant or it could be no significant for the final result, it is more significant for close-up images and it is more significant if the perspective error is big. Another sample is to correct the perspective for a church with a cross above the tower, you could lose or you could crop the cross after to correct the perspective with PS or similar software, it depends about the correction amount needed and the image original composition, perhaps you lose nothing, only a bit of sky or perhaps you lose a significant detail; if you lost the cross after the correction, you can't recover it, it has nothing to do with the image resolution. I only pointed out the difference between the PS perspective modification tool and a view camera.
