Is the warp tool legal in advanced? If something's a bit crooked mishaped, say a horizon that can't get straightened just by rotating due to lens aberration, could I use the transform warp tool to straighten it out? Im talking about a subtle usage.

alright just saw this:

use software to correct perspective, lens defects, or minor misalignments.

so i guess it's fine.

Yes, for correction.

Yup. Plus, the easy way to do that is with filter>lens correction -- that has automatic adjustment that can be enabled if your exif shows cam/lens combos that are mapped, or you can do it manually in that filter. Does vignetting and chromatic aberration as well.

alright, what about this:

say the lens is perfect, and the scene is captured exactly how it looks to the eye. but say you're taking of picture of something like a tower, and the tower itself was built slightly crooked (by a degree or two). Would it be legal to select the tower, and then use the warp tool to nudge it straight?

Yes you are still correcting perspective, not introducing an effect. Now if you took that same image and added a fish warp to it, it think that may fail validation.
