Interesting shots alright but they need to be straightened.  DPP will do it but it is manual.

BTW............How did your trumpet playing come out yesterday???   You and Obiwan are very gifted peeps, I tell ya.    I'm a fustrated musician myself, always wanted to play the guitar but never learned.    Most of my favorite Jazz artist are guitar players.  Love sax, trumpet, and piano also, In fact I like all the instruments.   Loved Miles Davis, Lee Morgan and Freddy Hubert.   The new players are good also.  The "Jazz Attack", at the Jazz Fest was fabulous.  Here's a pic.   Huge Groove, Richard Elliot, (Sax) and Peter White (Guitar)               BTW...This was a nite shot about 100 yards away (EF 70-300mm)

I see or am sensing you don't understand  Peripheral Illumination Correction?

It does not correct lens distortion.  That is a different thing.  The firmware is for the camera not the lens.  As far as I know Canon does not have firmware for its lenses. At least firmware they give to us.

The 60D has Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction, which corrects for lens shading or "vignetting", producing more uniform exposure across the frame by compensating for the light falloff that plagues some lenses in the corners of the

Anytime your lens outweighs the camera you should start to decide if it is going to put a strain on the camera mount.  BTW, you should always handle the lens when holding the combo.  Never hold it by the camera, only.

All my jazz or music is with students.  Mostly kids.  I also play 2nd trombone in the Olathe Civic Orchestra, 1st trombone in the Shawnee Concert Band and 2nd trombone in the Hallmark Cards Company Concert Band.  I have done many, many musicals in the pit for Gardner Community Theather.  There's more mostly just as boring so I won't bore you further!

I understand it, I just did'nt explain it correctly.  Maybe I should be more specific in answering stuff and using the correct vocabulary.  I do tend to ad lib when I say stuff.

Now that's very good Obiwan, you explained the why here.   When you explain the why, I'll always understand better and be more willing to follow your suggestion.  You have a tendacy to tell me to do something without explaining your reasoning or rashonal.  Sometimes when you do that, to me it may not make sense.

I had this feature disabled till I turned it on at the Jazz Fest.  Then when I processed my RAW files DPP's ajustment corrections (sharpness, color sat, tint, etc)  would'nt work.  The only feature I could use was batch process to Jpeg and pic size.   Seems if I use this feature in camera when taking pics, I cannot correct anything in DPP.   DPP worked perfectly with this feature disabled in camera while taking pics..

I must be missing something. I see little or no lopsidedness in the first picture. The second is less clear-cut, but I'm not sure I see it there either. Coastlines are tricky. As a coastline recedes from the viewer, it will appear to converge towards the horizontal centerline of the picture. That's because more vertical space is being subtended, the farther out you look. Remember what I said about verticals; they look pretty much OK to me. Don't be fooled by the flagpole; the flag is pulling it in the direction of the wind. Note that the building behind it is straighter. You may just be too picky.

I was'nt trying to take great shots here, only test shots to check my lines.  I don't know how to correct manual in DPP 3.  Remember I don't have DPP 4.  DPP4 is only an available upgrade for high end bodies like the ones you and Bob have.  You can do things in DPP 4  that Dpp 3 cannot do.
