Image straightening the easy way

Image straightening the easy way

Ever take a shot and didn’t check to make sure it was straight? This is an easier fix than manually rotating the image. The trick is using the ruler tool located behind the eyedropper tool in Photoshop.

Ruler Tool

Using the Ruler Tool, click and drag a line across the image going with the horizon.

Drag

Next, click Image>Rotate Canvas>Arbitrary.

Rotate

A dialog box will come up showing you the degree of rotation necessary to straighten the image based on the line you made with the Ruler Tool.

Rotate

Click OK, and your image is straightened out. Now all that’s left is cropping out the white edges.

straight

That’s it! Cropped and straightened out!

Done
