How do I straighten a picture?

[cdpohl]

Just purchased this great program. But, alas, I have a problem to straighten the horizon in a picture. Can someone show me the way?

Hi cdpohl,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :) 

Select the Crop Tool, then on the context toolbar (right above the work area) click on the Straighten button. Click and drag on the canvas over the horizon line and the image should be corrected.

Or if you have a good eye for level, you can simply use the little double-ended rotate arrow above the image to manually rotate left or right.

Thank you all. Appreciated.

Personally, I use the lens correction tab in the Develop Persona for finer detail.

And I never thought of doing that!  I do have a very good eye for level but this is much easier for twiddly adjustments.  I love clickers!

it's just that i'm use to it that way in Lightroom. Hardly used the straighten feature.

 

BTW what's clickers?

Since I don't know the correct terminology, that 's what I call the little up/down clickable arrows beside the numeric input box.

Ok, is there a correct name for them? I'm happy with clickable arrows  :) . It's the term I would use.
