Thanks .Made to MeasureIf you don't want to guess the proper angle for a rotation, use the Measuretool (grouped with the Eyedropper tool in the toolbox). Click at one point onthe horizon (or another edge to be straightened) and drag along thatsoon-to-be-level line. Immediately choose Image Rotate CanvasArbitraryand the number of degrees you need to rotate is magicallyinserted in the dialog box by the Measure tool. Just click OK to apply therotation. Don't worry about the measure line showing up in your image,either. As soon as you change tools, the measure line goes away.Rotate a SelectionRotating a selection, as opposed to turning the whole canvas, is done in the same manner as resizing one. First, make the selection. Thenuse Edit Transform Rotate to place a bounding box around your selection. Drag on any of the corner handles to rotate theselection around its center point. You can see the center point as the target-shaped object in the middle of the selection in Figure 4.12. Ifyou need to rotate the selection off-center, drag the center point to where you want it and then rotate the selection.
