Phil, select the entire image with the marquee tool and then use either edit -> transform -> skew or perspective adjustment (PS CS). You can get both sides of the image vertical. PS Elements does have perspective adjustment as well.

I discovered an interesting filter in photoshop. I'm sure some of you must have used it. I mention this because it may be the solution to the frames not being vertical. The filter is called spherize and one of things it does is correct the lens distortion. I don't know if "barrel distortion" is the correct name. Anyway, here's an example: http://www.nugar.com/gallery/album01 if you download the pictures, and look at them continuously in a viewer such as Irfanview, you'll notice that the perspective is corrected. It is as if the first image was printed over a ballon and then you flatten it. It is very useful for horizons, for example. And it might be useful for this picture...

The frame on the far right is perfect vertical. If you rotate to get the door itself horizontal the whole image is horrendous! (Try it and see!) I was limited with where I could take the image from, so that's why it's not straight on (though I think that may have been a little boring anyway). Phil

Very nice feel to this image. Technically, would like to see the photo rotated a few degrees to the left - the tilt is a little distracting.

Actually, I thought is was a bit open, until I realized it was part of the door frame.

Pops. Ooh, I hadn't thought of that! Might give that one a try tonight... Thanks. Phil

"Welcome Home" is a powerful phrase to everyone where ever their home may be. You've captured this power with your picture. Did you try this with the door slightly ajar as if opening after a long journey?
