Subtitles of the Movie (Adobe Photoshop CS5 / Resizing & Cropping Images / Cropping Images pt. 2)
As I say, I have a very cool technique to show you to help straighten your images which is a new feature here inside Photoshop CS5 that I think you're really going to like. What I'm going to do here is I want to revert my drafty barn back to where you and I had just opened him, so I suppose we could use our History Palette or, do you remember the Revert command that I had shown you way back when? I'm going to head up to my File Menu and then all the way down to Revert, or you can simply hit F12, of course, on your keyboard and that'll bring us back to this point here. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to click and hold on the Eyedropper Tool inside the Toolbox. He's just below the Crop Tool and below the Eyedropper Tool we'll find the Ruler Tool. That's the guy that I want you to go and grab. Now here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to zoom in a little bit on my image here and, again, I'm looking for something inside the photograph that's supposed to be straight. Again, it could be the edge of a building, it could be a telephone pole, something like this and again, all I'm going to do is just click and drag, but not with the Crop Tool, now with the Ruler Tool along that edge, something like this, right? That's all there is to it. And then the next thing that I'm going to do - you might want to zoom out here because you'll want to see the fireworks happen here on this actually take place here - now that I've sort of specified that angle, what I'm going to do is up on the Options Bar running across the top I'm simply going to click on the Straighten button and that's all there is to it. You're done. That's all there is to it. It's so straightforward, it's so simple. So, let me do that one more time for you here because it's so straightforward, it's so easy here. I'm just going to Undo here. Actually, you know what I should do is I should head to File and then down to Revert once again. So I simply grabbed the Ruler Tool out of the Toolbox, again, buried underneath the Eyedropper Tool, and then all I do is I find a straight edge inside my photo and I simply draw a line. I drag my Ruler on that straight edge, something like this. Alright, once that's complete up to the Options Bar across the top, click on Straighten and that's all there is to it.
