Preventing barrel distortion

Have funny looking curves or skewed lines at the edges of your wide-angle photo? The culprit causing this is called barrel distortion.

Barrel distortion can be improved, often significanlty, by using any photo editing program that has tools to correct camera lens distortions. Photoshop was used to illustrate this tutorial, but other photo editing programs have similar tools. Check your software's HELP menu as the tool may be located under a different menu, or called by another name.
