Sometimes, images you shoot for a specific purpose may need to be re-edited for another use. Here, the original image was shot on a Nikon Z 7 II with the FTZ adaptor and the Nikon 8-15mm AF-S Fisheye Lens to capture an ultrawide field of view of the interior with distortion. But to get an undistorted version, Photoshop’s Adaptive Wide Angle Filter is the best option for the re-edit.
