[Gimp-user] how to correct optical distortions of wide-angle lenses?

2002-01-24 Thread Peter Buckenleib
Hi folks, is there a way to correct optical distortions of wide-angle lenses ( most annoing within architectural pics ) using gimp ? I'm dreaming of something like stetching the upper side, interpolate all the pixel-lines down to the bottom-line (which remains unstretched) and then cutting a

If you're able to save it as an uncompressed tiff you should be able to use ImageMagick to convert it to a jpeg with whatever amount of compression you want. This should let you compress just enough to fit it on a CD. :-) More info at imagemagick.org -- Jon Winters http://www.obscurasite.com
