Hi All,

Sorry if this has come up before - this is my first post and didn't see s "search" option...

I've been scanning hundreds of images for a reference library and thought I remembered reading somewhere awhile back about a way that automatically corrects scans that are crooked - any insights?

Thanks in advance,
~Chris

Use the rule tool to distinguish what is the natural horizon or horizontal line in the picture.

Image>Rotate Canvas>Arbitrary and then either clockwise or counter-clockwise

thanks...that's exactly what I may have to do, but I thought there was some third party software or something that could do it automatically (as a timesaver)...kind of like what I heard the latest iPhoto can do where it calculates the horizon line and crops out the white space after adjusting, etc.

Cheers,
~C

I think Windows XP has a tool that will do exactly what you just said. I'm on a Win 2K machine right now, but I'll look when I get home.
