In the picture above they have the verticals vertical, but the back wall is not rectangular, and the arches seem asymmetrical... keeping the rear standard vertical and parallel to the back wall would have sorted this... and I think it would be difficult or impossible to sort it post... but most people would not even notice.

Great link...!

CS/PS can be written into it by equaling the % of vertical distortion correction to the same angle % to the height required to be increased .  So any mathematicians out there wanting to have a crack at it?

Compensating for the loss in height is not the problem...

In an oblique corner shot of he exterior of an building the perspective looks OK if you keep the verticals vertical (or compensate).

You can take a picture so that the front (external) wall of a building looks rectangular by keeping your sensor parallel to that wall, so you get perspective (only) in the sided wall... similarly, in this picture, keeping your sensor parallel to the far end wall would make that wall rectangular, and more importantly, it would make the bay-roof arches look symmetrical and not distorted.

...very true indeed... thus makes Alpa, Cambo, arTec w/ t/s r/f a gem!
