- The photo after Warp transformation. Shrink image a bit to fit left and right edges to document area after Inflate transformation. Don't pay attention to empty corners, we will fill them with Content-Aware tools.
- Merge lens corrected image with the background layer. Correct bottom corners. Select the area you need to fix (you may use Lasso Tool).
- Go To Edit > Fill > Content- Aware. If you are using older Adobe Photoshop version, you may use Patch Tool or Stamp Tool.
- Do the same thing for other bottom spots.

- I don't like very much the gray building on the background. In order to remove it, duplicate current layer(the layer with lens and all other corrections). Add Layer Mask to the duplicated layer and erase all objects except the sky with the black brush.

- This is the result of Content-Aware filling:
- Merge layers, then go to Filter > Lens Correction, and apply Vignette filter.
