When it comes to the Correct Camera Distortion feature in Elements... Is there a list somewhere of specific settings for specific lenses at different focal lengths i can use to correct my images?
I use Nikon...

I've read good things about PTlens- here's a link to a search here -
Edit- hi and welcome too!

Hi
Welcome to the village.
As far as I know there are no presets for that effect.
I do know that Tony, as well as a few others use PTlens to correct camera/lens distortion. This is not free, but from what I understand, it does a wonderful job and the developer will make presets (or at least used to) for any given lens that is not in the library. :)

I use PTLens all the time and it automatically detects all my Nikon lenses (as well as Point and Shoot Sony). The version for Mac is LensFix:

Uses the same database so I assume it works the same. More expensive than the Windows version but a free trial is available so give it a try. I don't know anything about Mac plug-ins but I assume that if it's designed for CS3 it will also work in Elements for Mac. The Windows version (PTLens) works in all versions of Elements.
