Adjust for Wide Angle lens distortion

Is there a way in Photoshop to adjust for the distortion when
using a wide angle lens (e.g. 17mm)?

Thanks...

There's some software designed for panoramas and other image stitching,
called PanoTools. It's free, and it's being packaged by about a zillion
different people. One of the things it's designed to do is adjust for
lens distortion. There are PS plugin versions of it. Start he
http://panotools.sourceforge.net/.

Yes, download the free PTlens plugin for Photoshop at:
http://www.epaperpress.com/ptlens/index.html
Also download the "PTlens helpers" and "Profiles" from their download
page.

Use freetransform and skew, and crop.

It's all there in "Help"
I tried it after seeing this post and it's just great for getting rid of
converging verticals.

If you can't get it with the help, let me know and i'll try to explain
it. It's fairly easy.

Isn't barrel correction one of the primary requirements? Is that in
Photoshop?
(Yes, it is in Paint Shop Pro, as is a rather handy perspective correction
tool).

Cheers,

No it is not IMHO. You can correct perspective in Photoshop,
but not distorsion (without a plugin).

Some here wants to tell me how it is simply done in Photoshop.
If they can, then I stand corrected
