To straighten (via Straighten Tool):
Manipulating Images 103
1. On the Tools Toolbar, expand the Crop Tools flyout and
click the Straighten Tool.
2. On the context toolbar, choose an option from the Canvas drop-down list.
This lets you decide how your straightened image will be displayed:
• Crop - Crops and adjusts the straightened image so that it
displays on the largest possible canvas size, without displaying
any border.
• Expand to Fit - Increases the canvas size to display the entire
straightened image. The border area is filled with the current
background colour.
• Original Size - Displays the straightened image within the
original canvas dimensions. The border area is filled with the
current background colour.
On the image that needs straightening, look for a straight line on
the image to which you can set the new horizon (e.g., the divide
between the land and sea above).
3. (Optional) Uncheck Rotate All Layers to restrict the operation to the
active layer only. Otherwise all layers are rotated.
4. Using the Straighten cursor, drag a horizon from one end of the image's line
to the other (the length of the horizon is not important) then release. The
image orients itself to the new line.
