Bwood Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I can’t for the life of me get used to the straightening tool. It drove me crazy. Instead I’m using the lens tool, on rotation. It appears to work for my work. I’m not sure if it’s the correct tool. So if anybody has a real easy way to use the straightening tool you may let me know. Until then I’m going to use the lens tool. With the straightening tool I need a rule. I constantly forget my North and South on drawing the line across the picture in landscape. Thanks all. ~Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I presume you're using Straighten in the Crop Tool, but I don't understand what you're having with it. Can you explain a bit more?

Thanks all. ~Bill Using the "rotation" slider in Develop Persona is absolutely correct and fine, and i prefer this tool as the numeric input field can be adjusted by mouse-wheel with steps of 0.1 degree, giving you optimal control. If you prefer to use a ruler, follow the advise form walt and use the crop tool and from there the strengthen function.

Bwood Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Actually @NotMyFault I’ve been practising and have not used the straightening tool correctly. If I can find a piece of the horizon I believe I’ve got it now. Rather than drawing a horizontal line I was just adding a line with the tool in free form not even close to horizon. Thanks for direction and the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
