Wow! So easy, thanks!
Nice, I didn’t know the CS5 method. Thanks :)
Really great tip. I also really like the Two Minute concept, really just within my attention span,
Lightroom 3 has a really great tool that does the same thing. Go into the Crop and Straighten tool. While holding the command key on a Mac(not sure of the Windows key) you can draw a line on whatever you want to be straight in the photo, in your case the horizon. LR will rotate and set the crop for you.
great tip – thanks for sharing
Good to know I was doing it “right” intuitively. But that CS5 method? Snap. That’s where it’s at. Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
