Straighten just one part of the building

I have an image (shown) that i have partly straightened in LR. However, as you can see, since it is a global straighten, not every is as vertical as I would wish. Is it possible to straighten just the right-hand vertical without affecting the other parts (left) of the castle?

Absolutely.  You have total  control over issues  like  this in Photoshop,  and multiple ways to do do what you want to do.  You can select  part of  the building, and apply Free Transform to that, but I suspect you'd do better using Camera RAW.  It's  difficult to see much from your tiny upload, so if you paste a  higher  res version we'd be able to see better.

I hope, the best solution is using Adaptive Wide Angle filter . Filter>Adaptive Wide Algle

Just draw short line on your building with Shift key pressed and - thats it!

Be sure you have metadata (lens) information with your image. Without AWA doesn't work right

It works perfectly.

Hi Rob

I would do as much as possible in Lightroom/Camera Raw, as shown by Trevor, then use Perspective Warp to do any final tweaking in Photoshop. Perspective Warp allows you to lay out grid sections then nudge (or extensively warp) each section into position.

Thank you all very much indeed. I found perspective warp extremely useful. Here's my 'play' after a few minutes using this method.

    It's a nice image Rob. Perspective warp was designed for some quite extreme adjustments but can be very useful for those little nudges.
