| Turn the grid on. Select All, Free rotate, tweak until the horizon is lined up with a line on the grid. Crop. |

| I think this works in Elements... Click and hold the eye drop tool to get to the measure tool. Draw a line with that tool over a line in the image that is supposed to be vertical or horizontal. Go to image:rotate image and select arbitrary. It'll make the measure tool line horizontal or vertical! |

I'm not sure if it's in photoshop elements, but in regular photoshop here's what I do.
1. Use the measure tool to draw a line along the horizon
2. go to image > rotate by arbitrary |

Yet another way in photoshop is to just click and drag the ruler that is displayed in the window and that would drag down a guide line. Place it where ever you want and release the mouse button. Then use the transform tool to rotate image based on the guide line.

I use the crop tool. When I have the outline of the image I want, I bring the lower edge up until one end touches the horizon. Then I rotate the whole picture until the lower edge is even with the horizon. Then I move the lower edge back to where I want it, and adjust the other edges so that they are all within the picture.

If you are using Photoshop CS2 there is a tool made specifically for this. Go to Filters, Distort, Lens Correction, and on the left side you will see a "Straighten Tool." Click this tool, then draw a line in the photo of what should be straight. For example, if you have a horizon in your photo, make a line that follows the horizon (even if it is crooked) using that tool, and it will make it perfectly straight.
I'm not sure if Elements has this same tool but I'll look into it. |
