Got a few landscape pics with foreground distortion that is kinda like leading lines.

for the white lines at the top of the image , if you magnify the image, you'll see they are airliner vapor trails

I believe that the OP is referring to the distortion that appears on the bottom of the photo. Look at the houses on the left. They are stretched out. Is this a lens distortion issue that would get corrected by using lens correction in something like Photoshop, Lightroom, or other similar photo editing software? The OP does not say if this is a Mavic 2 Pro or Zoom. If Pro, is it a known issue that there is distortion straight of of the camera? Is this the type of distortion being referred to?

The normal distortion of the Mavic 2 Pro is mostly corrected upon import to Lightroom or Photos.Depending on the result I often use manual distortion correction in the vertical and some lens profiles straighten out the curve of the horizon.The horizontal pano gives you the distortion that lengthens near objects thus my comment on leading lines.The railroad tracks seem to benefit from the lengthening too IU believe.
