Now, the Straighten Tool does exactly what the name implies. It straightens your image. Now, in landscape you might have a horizon that's out of kilter and it'll work for that, but more often than not I use it in sports where sometimes the action is so fast that I shoot for the action and get my horizons out of level and the way to correct that, the Straighten Tool is located strangely enough, I have no idea why Adobe has chosen to put that under the Eyedropper Tool, but that's where it's located. You find the Eyedropper Tool in the toolbar, click on it, the drop-down list appears and it's at the bottom of the drop-down list. You click on rule tool and you'll notice a crosshair with a rule beside it. What you do is you take the crosshair, place it on the straight edge that you want to straighten, take it one over. I mean, you don't have to go that far. You can go up to here, you can go to here or wherever you want to go and then let go of it and then you come up to image, rotate canvas, arbitrary and you'll see the figure already filled in here. Five and three quarters degrees clockwise is how the correction is going to be made and then you see that the image is straightened and you've go to do further cropping in order to get rid of the kilter in the canvas. But that's how it works. Now, you can also take the Straighten Tool and do, correct your straighten vertically. Let's look at the top of this backboard. Come down, image, rotate canvas, arbitrary and it will straighten it once again. And you can crop this one of two ways; with an aspect ratio crop, which is control A, select, transform selection, grab the node, hold down the Shift Key, drag it, reposition, double click, come up to image, crop and your crop will be effected. Or you can do it this way. Simply use the crop tool and crop it any old way you want. And that's how you use the straighten tool in Photoshop CS3.
