What You Is Doing? (A straightening tip)

He was a cute kid standing on the side of the road holding a plastic ball and bat. He saw us riding by on our bicycles and grinned really big. We slowed down to say "hello" and he asked, "What you is doing?".
Well, sometimes I have no idea! That day, of course, I did but we laughed and rode on, letting his parents explain to him about our bike ride.
As for what I'm doing today, I decided to post a tip that probably many already know but I just learned, and it may help someone else.
Keeping (most) images straight is imperative, as we know. Sometimes getting them there is a pain! In Photoshop (I have PS3) the eyedropper tool has a ruler. Use it to draw a line across the area you want to correct. Then go to Image>Rotate Canvas>Arbitrary. Photoshop shows you the amount that needs to be corrected and does it automatically when you click ok. It's a no-brainer! I need a lot of those!
Hope this helps someone, and now if you'll excuse me I have to go and straighten some images---the easy way!

uhoh....Mr. Mischief is here! It must be windy in Portugal :))
No, Maen, Culvert won't bother a mouse. They're too smart to walk into his mouth!
For those who think we're speaking in code...Culvert is my cat in the photo with the bird.

I use the ruler all the of time. I guess I don't have a "level eye". Thank goodness for CS3. I'd be lost without it.

Well the short cut for ruler in PS3 to click I, and shift I will select other sub keys under that tool. (This is Mac, not sure in Windows) Hope this is helpful..... And thanks Susan for highlighting this tool.

I'm always here, Maen...sometimes I just get quiet as a mouse :))
Being a kind of off kilter type of person (that's an old saying that means not quite right), I don't always worry about someone else's perception :)) But at times I do want to walk a straight line....
Hey Dragos, love your kids! Keep 'em straight...or not :)

I have never tried this method, generally I use the leveling tool in RAW. Always great to learn additional methods, thanks! :)
