I am not the best at editing and have experimented with this, but I don't get the results I am looking for. Any advice, tips or links to helpful videos would be appreciated.
I have taken several 180 degree panos of churches. Start pointing at the alter and rotate over my head until I am shooting at the door. These aren't to everyone's taste but I like 'em. Here is a recent example:
Barts&Gaetano II by Ian, on Flickr
Ignoring all the retouching needed, what I would like to be able to do is straighten the pillars and columns so that they appear to radiate from a central point. As examples, Peter Li's "Confetti" or "Veles" at https://www.plipictures.com/omniscience is what I am looking for. Peter has been super helpful with advice on shooting technique so I'd rather not annoy him with yet more questions on processing. I can get close by using the warp tool in Photoshop but columns aren't dead straight, just approximately so, and further efforts end up with too many random distortions. I've tried with puppet warp too as I thought the ability to use pins would help, but no luck.
Any thoughts appreciated.
