I was outside goofing around, I had my tripod out and the kittens were running around. I set my WB to cloudy to warm my pictures up, I read about this in a book. The cat pictures were boring, this was all that I came up with. I like the lens flare. I was trying out my grad filter and polarizing filter. I had none on for this shot. Just thought I would share.

How do you straighten pictures with CS2?


Here is a little edit I did.

Use the crop tool. You can put the arrow in the corner of the picture and rotate it. I am sure there is a better way I just don't know it.....

I like the flare, too.

command a, command t (or whatever you PC users use for command), then you can type in a number for the rotate or just do it by hand if you move the mouse into a corner you will see an arc with arrows. Click, hold, and move the mouse to rotate. hit return, command d, then you can crop the extra space.

Replace Command with CTRL in Brent's above post.

I was taught to draw a line along the horizon, then look at the xy coordinates to see how far off from 0° the line was. Then you can go into Rotate and type in negative that degree amount for perfectly straight horizons. Then you'll have to crop it, of course.

in cs3 raw editor, when you rotate the image it just gives you a line tool. you draw the line on a horizon, and it automatically makes the line perfectly horizontal. Good idea.
