Using Adobe Elements To Straighten Angled Pictures
If your photos are crooked or were scanned into your computer at an angle you don't need to toss them out. Instead, use Adobe Elements to quickly and easily straighten them out again. Here is how you can use Adobe Elements to straighten your crooked or tilted photo.
The two predominant tools provided by Adobe to fix your photograph are the measure tool and the crop tool. The measure tool is used to set a definite level of the picture and straighten it. It can be easily operated by selecting the measure tool from the menu and clicking on one horizon of the document / picture and dragging it to the other end of the document. Doing this would set the level of the document. With this tool, apart from a horizon, you could even fix an edgy shelf or a four sided roof line to a perfect horizontal level. Now, click the rotate canvas option to rotate the image and fix it on the canvas. The canvas will expand in accordance with the size of the picture. Then, use crop tool to cut the extra unwanted edges.
Those opting for the crop tool have the advantage of prompt straightening as this tool offers both the cropping and straightening options at one time. For operating the crop tool, select the crop tool and drag a crop marquee. Position the horizontal edge on the horizontal line to set the level of the image. Again, it could be roof line or an edgy shelf instead of a horizon which needs to be fixed in a perfect horizontal position. Now drag the marquee so that its edge merges with the horizon line. This is done to align the edge to a horizontal position.
After you have fixed one edge repeat the steps to align the rest of the edges. Please note however that if you want to fix vertical lines on your image you do not want to align them with vertical borders. To correct these you want to use the 'perspective? option available in the option bar. The perspective option allows you to correct the vertical lines by fixing the corners of the boundary meant to be cropped to the right perspective. Make sure to keep all the corners in the assigned document.
While the perspective element is not immediately available with Photoshop Elements it can be activated by converting the chosen background into a layer by double clicking on the background. With the rise in the popularity of digital cameras also comes the increased amount of tilted and crooked photos. They usually occur when the photographer clicks the shutter while keeping the camera straight and looking at the back screen. This has the tendency to distort the photo by making it disproportionate. With these tips you no longer need to take 4-5 of the same shots of the same subject. Repetition not only wastes your camera's battery but the memory as well. Easily rid yourself of tilted photos with the amazing tools included inside Adobe Elements.
