Hi at all, I need your big help.
During a shooting for a business convention I maked a big error for distraction, I maked some pictures to little peoples group with a wide angle lens (16 mm.), so in the pictures the peoples on sides in foreground are deformed, enlarged, what is the best method to solve this problem and make acceptable the pictures?
Thank's in advance.
 
"what is the best method to solve this problem"
Take a new picture.
 
Of course, the best solution, is exactly as iDad suggested: Re-take the shot using good photographic technique. If, for some reason, that isn't possible, read on.

There are two major types of distortion that you might be talking about:
a) "geometric" or "perspective" distortion; and,
b) lens distortion

Without more info it's impossible to determine which you are dealing with. Wide angle shots can experience both types simultaneously.

Your first step is to Google these terms and determine which you are experiencing.

If it's lens distortion, both Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw (aka, ACR) provide stunningly good corrections.

For either type of distortion, there are also excellent lens corrections available within PS itself using the "Lens Correction" and "Adaptive Wide Angle" filters.

You can also use 3rd party plugins such as Tiffen DFX's "Lens Distortion / Anamorphic" filter, and its "Wide Angle" filter, as well as the old favorite, "Squeeze" from TheImagingFactory. The latter is probably the simplest to use, but it is also the least flexible and somewhat difficult to find since that company seems to have gone out of business.

HTH,

Tom
