Challenge: 8mm Distortion Fix

In this lesson I tackle a challenge image sent in by a Masters Academy member. I attempt to fix distortion produced by shooting with a mega wide angle 8mm lens which causes a light house and building to be distorted. I use the Adaptive Wide Angle filter and show that it is only effective if a proper lens profile has been applied.
