Straighten Images in Photoshop easily!

I've always had annoying problems rotating and straightening up images or scans in photoshop... either rotating too much or too little.

Well I found out a way that has been around since Photoshop 5.5.

Here it is:

1. Open your image that needs straightening in photoshop.

2. Select the measure tool and draw 2 markers along the axis that you want to straighten.

3. Then select the menu image>rotate canvas>arbitrary.

4. There you have it... Easy!

Hope someone finds it handy!

Keep those tips coming in!
