Firstly - apologies if this is the wrong forum, couldn't make up my mind! I'm just back from a short break in Paris, wandering about the Louvre and the Musée D'Orsay (yeah, I know, life's tough!), taking quite a few photos with my new compact digital camera. While most of the photos are fine, a few I've taken suffer from barrel distortion and, particularly for some of the monumental canvasses, some perspective distortion too.

After googling for software to fix this, I thought I'd fire up Xara and see if it could help - and, yes, there is a barrel distortion plugin that seems to do the trick, albeit more by eye than a helpful guideline. But I'm still stumped as how to fix the perspective issues. What I guess I'm wanting to do is to stretch/shrink a bitmap inside a mould, but can't seem to be able to get Xara to do that - I just seem to end up cropping to the mould shape.

Any advice or experience doing this, inside or outside of Xara, would be appreciated...
