Non-vertical verticals

or, fixing the perspective.

All the time I was happily looking at the photos, totally unaware about the perspective, until Vint did convince me it does exist :-)

Today while surfing I have found this little gem, which caused this post to appear.

To illustrate what it does, I took a photo by Pathfinder Linden, "Immersive Archeology":

And this is how the picture looks like, after being *automatically* adjusted by the program:

Well, indeed in this case the tops of the columns on the front plane do look a bit unnatural, but still it looks quite cool, I think :-)

p.s. Kudos to the author, despite of being windows-only, the program runs just fine on linux under wine
