Adobe has been tweaking the way we straighten images for the past few versions of
Photoshop, and in Photoshop CS6, it's now the fastest and easiest way yet, and it's
built right into the Crop tool's options. (Back in CS5, you had to use the Ruler tool in
the Toolbox for straightening, which wasn't exactly obvious—they needed a tool
named Straighten, so people could actually find it. Thankfully, now there is just that.)
Straightening
Step One:
Open the photo that needs straight-
ening, click on the Crop tool
(C)
in the
Toolbox, and then click on the Straighten
tool up in the Options Bar. Now, find
something in your photo that's supposed
to be straight or relatively straight (the
water's edge, in this example). Click-and-
drag the Straighten tool horizontally along
this straight edge in your photo, starting
from the left and extending to the right
(as shown here).
