Straightening a Photo

Sometimes having a picture at an unusual angle is cool. It can cause the picture to be more artistic. However, sometimes the picture may just look odd and you want to straighten it. I took this picture from the car (no, I was not driving) and the angle is just off.



I don’t know what I am going to do to edit a photo until I open it on my computer. When I opened this picture of an evergreen tree I thought it was cool but that the angle detracted from the tree. I had never used the straighten tool before and I am happy that it was so easy. The tool is on the toolbar and it puts a line on the picture. I then moved the line so it was parallel with the horizon in the picture and the tree was straightened. The thing about using this tool is that the picture is automatically cropped. It doesn’t matter so much in this picture of my tree but it could be a problem with some pictures.



This was a very quick edit and a useful tip in making an ok picture better.
