Perspective Distortion???

This is the picture of my Christmas Tree (HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!)
It's taken with D750 and 16-35mm f/4 lens, focused on the left side of the tree, which is couple of feet in front of the fireplace.
As you can see the top and bottom of the mantel are not horizontal. I wonder how to fix this?
Thanks.

Perspective distortion, people..... not lens distortion!!!!!!






Result:

Done with GIMP 2.6. Not sure about what you use as I don't have any of them.

Lightroom has the same Perspective tools.. It's in the Lens Correction module in the Develop module... I'd post a video tutorial by Juliann Kost, but I'm not sure it's relative...

Thanks 480sparky. I just found something in Corel Paintshop Pro that adjusts the perspective distortion in very much the same way as GIMP.
Here's the result:

I'm using DxO OpticsPro 10, Photoshop Elements 14 and Corel Paintshop Pro X8 but as far as I know they can't fix this.


DxO OpticsPro 10 will not correctly distortion. There program DxO Viewpoint 3 does a fantastic job of it and with this version (3) it will do it totally automatically in most of the shots.

I often use the perspective control feature in the Photoshop Element 14 but only the "vertical perspective" and never paid attention to the "horizontal perspective" until today. That's exactly the feature I need to do the adjustment of this sort.
Learn something new every day!
