A few days back I ran a tutorial on correcting perspective by using the Lens Correction filter. I failed to do one thing after applying the filter that would have made the perspective correction look much more realistic. See, the only problem with correcting perspective is that it can sometimes give tall objects in the image a slightly stretched look.
The easiest way to fix that is to use the free transform tool after performing the lens correction filter. Just press CMD or CTRL – T to bring up the Free Transform tool (if you have multiple layers, make sure you have the main image layer targeted) and then simply grab the top of the image and pull down a little.
This will squish the image back down and make all the objects look more natural. Just re-crop the image and life is good. Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference.

That’s a very good point about doing some rescaling after perspective correction. Depending on what you’ve done, you may also need to stretch the image up. I’ve done some work on shots I took with an ultra wide lens and correcting the perspective made the image too short.
Nice tutorial!
