Step Seven:
Another form of cropping is actually
straightening your photos using the
Straighten tool. It's a close cousin of
the Crop tool because what it does is
essentially rotates your cropping border,
so when you open the photo, it's straight.
In the Camera Raw toolbar, choose the
Straighten tool (it's immediately to the
right of the Crop tool and shown circled
here in red). Now, click-and-drag it along
the horizon line in your photo (as shown
here). When you release the mouse but-
ton, a cropping border appears and that
border is automatically rotated to the
exact amount needed to straighten the
photo (as shown in Step Eight).
Step Eight:
You won't ac tually see the straight-
ened photo until you switch tools, press
Return (PC: Enter) , or open the photo
in Photoshop (which means, if you click
Save Image or Done, Camera Raw closes,
and the straightening information is saved
along with the file. So if you open this
file again in Camera Raw, you'll see the
straightened version, and you won't re-
ally know it was ever crooked). If you click
Open Image instead, the straightened
photo opens in Photoshop. Again, if this
is a RAW photo (or if it's a JPEG or TIFF
and you clicked the Done button), you can
always return to Camera Raw and remove
this cropping border to get the original
uncropped photo back.
TIP: Canceling Your Straightening
If you want to cancel your straightening,
just press the Esc key on your keyboard,
and the straightening border will go away.
