    Hi,
    i happen to be a pro photographer, apart from all.

    FYI the real proper way to this is the following:
    You need camera, tripod, contrasting wall/best buy from ebay proper green background/ or paint a wall dark electric green, Photoshop, Vcarve.

    1. Do a Google search and find what is lens calibration. Download from adobe site the lens calibration utility. Go to a print shop and print one of the sample square grids.
    Hang it on the wall. Make all the necessary photos in camera raw using tripod, camera squared to the center of the grid hanging. Follow their instructions precisely and at the end you will have a lens profile for that particular lens on that particular camera sensor.

    The end result would be that when you make photo in RAW format with that setup, Camera raw will apply the profile automatically and you will have perfectly dimension rectified photo.

    2. then use v carve trace.

    that simple.

    PS. Resources / i did the search for you as lens calibration could mean other things too/. Dont use ready lens profiles, as if you aim precision of distortion correction it could be lens and camera specific, not always, but better be sure.

    PS2. Lens calibration could be done even on mobile phone lens, but then you will definetely need some knowledge of camera Raw and Photoshop.

    PS3. List of supported lens/ that have already profiles/

    PS4. the photo could be taken as JPG, though RAW is better. You can open the JPG as Raw format, in Lightroom and Camera Raw browser. Ctrl+R comand
