#3 Photoshop Trick: Straighten Your Scanned Images in Seconds

Posted on 6:02 AM by Daniy

You know you can’t always put you photos or documents straight fully on the flatbed scanner. You also know you can always fix them in Photoshop by using the free transform tool, and then rotate them manually. But believe me, there’s other way even faster.

Simply you should get the measure tool [it should be look like a ruler] which is located on the eyedropper fly out menu in the toolbox. Drag a line which you consider as the horizontal line, then go under the Edit > Rotate Canvas > Arbitrary menu. You’ll be provided with an angle dialogue box which already filled with certain number. Don’t change them, just hit OK. Your images will be straightened already.

Draw the measure tool along an edge instead of above as in the example. I like these tips and am learning a lot. :-)
