If we go over to the lens tab, come down to the add line we can try to find what we think to be straight lines in the image and add lines to use for the distortion. So, for example, here's a nice long line back here. So what we'll do is we will drag across there, and not oriented. But we have this structure here and we'll try to get some vertical, some horizontal. Closer to the edge is always nicer. That's usually where there is the most distortion. Not oriented. Let's zoom in on this a little bit. So that might be good enough to start. And we will do what we did before, we will use a spinner here to start moving the distortion around until we think we have it straight. So it's not a whole lot of distortion, but it is a little bit.
