Help with this type of image please.

I am needing some assistance/guidance correcting images taken with our Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II & EF 14mm f/2.8L USM lens.

The 14mm lens is great for wide angle shots, but you tend to get some stretching at the outsides of the frame. Sometimes that looks ok, but sometimes you just don’t want it. What is the best way to correct the stretchy parts of these images? You know, squish them back in a little bit.

I’ve included an example image here:

I would play with the distort filter in photoshop...

Thank you!

If you are using PSCS2, use Control A to select the photo and then got to Transform/Skew and you can move the corners out to straighten the image. I do it all the time and it will take a little practice but it works great!!
