Paul, regardless of what others might say, we only know you as a fine fellow and assume that anyone else does not know as fully as do we your sterling, prince-like qualities....lol

Best Wishes, Traveller....thanks also for the tip

Thank you sooooo much, Jim, I was worried....now I have new things to think about...but at least I am ballpark.

I got out yesterday to LACMA, (and why not, dinner by Cordon Bleu Students was $13.50...yummy, a free jazz concert and I have the whole museum to wander for free {as a LA county Resident}).

A fine time but I learned much about the camera and distortion, with hard parallel lines, is pretty substantial!!!!!! with the supposedly fine 24~104 lens, at 24mm.

Also, in good light, video focus is good...at twilight, the camera in video will not focus at all if you zoom....the t4i and 18~135 STM lens would not have any problem at all....

Lastly, just taking a decent image is often my goal, and a worthwhile one....but, Geeze, I need to up my game...the photo artists at the LA County Museum of Art were....just outstanding.

I need to up my game....a Frigin` lot.

But a good day and evening it was.

(I may rewrite this an post it on DPR....there are large and impt issues here....)

Lastly, seriously, thanks for your friendship.

Now, I've got to go back to work.

Best Wishes, Traveller

T - Thanks.
I have a calibrated monitor (Dell) I attach to my laptop - also calibrated.

The bottom half of this photo, and most of the top, looks just fine. In the upper half, the brown ceiling looks great, and some of the other features are bright, not blown. The blown areas are right at the windows where you wanted them.

In the lower half, there are even some pretty deep shadows right behind the altar and under the organ.

Gentleman you say, I like that as compared to what others might want to call me such as "ASSHOLE"! A pleasant change......

Never believe what someone's else's laptop might show, like my wife's PC monitor is both too bright and too blue. (I'm not touching her's, noooooo) The histogram and info tab in PS tell the story. 255 all the way down to 0 with a mean of 106. Forgive them they mean well but they know not what they say or in this situation what they see. Mr. Gentleman PA

Paul - yes, that looks pretty good. I agree, the lens correction only goes so far, and then you need to use "distortion correction". LR also does a pretty good job ( probably the same base code).
A good lens correction also corrects for the vignetting.

There is a limit that any lens correction can do. I have the best luck in PS using distortion correction. You loose some of the wide angle perspective but it is mostly vertical anyhow. See example here. http://www.pbase.com/image/160230110 Paul

Hmmm. DPP should have done a decent job on it.
Can you send me the raw, or stick in in dropbox and send me a pm (or to jimmsp at aol.com) with a link.
I'll pass it through Lightroom which does a pretty good job of straightening things.

You are going to have to teach me something...lens correction in DPP made this worse; in the end, I skewed as much as possible in PS the top left and right edges....any more and the center got messed up.

Hummmm...

I like the wide angle; but I prefer these when lens correction is added to straighten out the sides.
That said, I'll reserve some judgement after I try out my new 10-24 in the next couple of days.
