Introduction:
This is the workflow that I use:
1. Save Images to a Raid 1 HD
2. Process images in DXO
3. Review images in Lightroom
4. Select image for processing in PS prior to printing.
5. Straighten image.
Today we will look at how to straighten your photos in PS.
Discussion:
The first question one asks is how do I determine if a photo is straight? Well we look for an object that should be straight, like a floor line or horizon line. Next you will need something to compare it to.
Enter PS. Select your image to process. Now go to the file menu and :
Select: View / Show / Grid
Now the image is covered with Grid Lines. You may use horizontal or vertical lines for comparison.
Select: Select / All
Select: Edit / Transform / Rotate
Carefully at a corner, rotate your image until it aligns with your grid.
Hit the return.
Now remove the Grid lines by going back to View / Show / Grid
Now it's time to crop the image. You can choose either the Landscape or Portrait or custom size. A neat way to move between Landscape and Portrait is to tap on the arrows between them. You also get to change the Resolution if it is not set correctly. I normally use 300 PPI.
Summary:
Always develop your workflow routine. Correcting an image that you have cropped that require straightening is normally a waste of your time spent and you must begin again. Nothing looks worst than an image that should have been straightened and it wasn't.
Enjoy.
