Tirami Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 An auto Straighten feature would be really nice, especially when dealing with so many photos that just need slight straightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Just to make sure: Are you aware that the Crop Tool has a Straighten function? It's not automatic, but is quite simple to use.

Tirami Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Yes, but I've seen other programs having an auto straighten function which I think would be quite useful, although the crop tool's straighten function is also quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 How could you guarantee that an auto straighten would latch onto the appropriate not-quite-horizontal line to straighten?

I wondered about that, too. Thinking further, I suppose if the program found a bunch of "lines" that were parallel, but not quite horizontal (or vertical) it could assume the photo should be straightened to make them horizontal (or vertical, as appropriate). But I'm not sure how often that would work, in practice.

If this was sufficiently distinct, then this could be the basis of a straightening. However it is likely that the only really level horizons would be seascapes.

John Just want to point out that the Canadian prairie is pool table flat. But yes the horizon is hard/impossible to find in a lot of my pictures due to pesky trees and mountains.

Tirami Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) I'm not exactly sure how this would work, but the photos app on MacOS has the feature I'm talking about... and it works quite well even on photos without a super distinct horizon. Maybe it's included in metadata, idk? Edited May 11, 2020 by Tirami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
