How do I fix distorted images?
Go to the Develop module -> Lens Corrections tab. There is a slider control under the Distortion section that allows the user to adjust how much distortion to correct. Moving the slider to the left corrects the pincushion distortion, while moving to the slider toward the right corrects barrel distortion.
How do you fix lens distortion?
You can change your position and shoot from a spot further away from your subject with the same lens. Another way is to use a longer lens, which should hopefully exhibit less distortion compared to a wide-angle lens. Unfortunately, both ways will affect your composition and framing, which might not always be desirable.

What causes image distortion?
While optical distortion is caused by the optical design of lenses (and is therefore often called “lens distortion”), perspective distortion is caused by the position of the camera relative to the subject or by the position of the subject within the image frame.
How do you get rid of barrel distortion?
As distortion is caused by the effects of perspective on the lens, the only way to correct for barrel lens distortion in-camera is to use a special “tilt and shift” lens, which is designed for architectural purposes. However, these lenses are costly, and only really make sense if you specialize in this field.
