[Gimp-user] Lens distortion correction

2007-06-21 Thread Victor Domingos
Hi! Is there an easy way in GIMP to make corrections to those distortions that happen for instance, when we try to take a photo from a very high building (when the straigh edges get a bit rounded or inclined). I think there are some similar apps in wich we can do that by using a grid to d
