Description
The Cologne Dom (Cathedral)...a ridiculous building. I just can't fathom how anyone can even come up with a structure like that, and then go about building it. I guess that's why it took 600 years to be finished. Just incredible place, and so much detail you don't even know what to look at.This is inside, obviously. The way the light ended up looking made this an intreguing image (for me at least).

(chuckle)... aaahhh... that explains it... you're crooked/bent...
not so much crooked, as you could make the parallel lines stay parallel... instead of going to a vanishing point...

two and seven?... (grin)... funny girl...
ok... begin by selecting the entire image (using the 'select' menu)... then go to 'edit'... from that menu, choose 'warp'... a grid will be laid on the image... by moving the grid, you correct the image... it is mostly trial an error... but you should be able to de-emphasize the perspectival convergence in that image...
oh... one clue... use the dots on the outside of the grid for fine-tuning the change...
