Leveling tool...

Is there a Leveling Tool in CS4 that I'm just missing? It's in Elements - you just draw a line and it rotates to make that line horizontal or vertical - and it works very well. - TF

Are you using Camera RAW? Camera RAW has that function built into it in CS4.

I don't know if PS has the same function built into is as Camera RAW does. If it does, I have never seen it. With ACR in CS4 you can open other types of files besides RAW so you could use the tool on jpegs or tiffs if needed.

If you are in Photoshop and not in ACR you can use the ruler tool to do basically the same thing. Select the ruler tool (it's under the eyedropper tool) draw your line where you want it. Then go to Image > Image Rotation > Arbitrary and click OK. The amount of rotation will automatically fill in based on the line you drew with the ruler.

Thanks, Mike. Ruler tool works great. I knew it had to be there someplace. - TF
