In-Depth Information
You can also rotate your image before cropping. When the cursor is outside of the image
boundaries, the cursor will look like an arc with arrow heads on each end. When you move
the cursor in this mode, the image will rotate under the cropping boundaries.
The
Straighten
Tool can be used to straighten an image before cropping. Any line drawn
on your image using this tool will be perfectly horizontal after cropping. Thus, if you drag
it along the horizon in a landscape photo, you can be certain that the horizon will be level
in your photo.
The Icon next to the
Straighten
Tool accesses a drop-down menu with a number of artistic
gridlines that can be used as overlays on an image. The
Rule-of-Thirds
is the best known,
but there are 5 other options.
