Beginners Photoshop Elements Tutorials
Tossing or tweaking your images would not be a good idea if your image is scanned or crooked at an angle. With Photoshop Elements Version, you can instead straighten your image with some truly simple and easy to use steps. Adobe Elements 3 and 4 provide you just the right tools to straighten up your tilted or angled picture. Here is how!
The two predominant tools offered by Elements to fix your image are the crop tool or the measure tool. The measure tool is used to set a certain level of the image and straighten it. It could be easily operated by choosing the measure tool from menu and clicking one horizon of the document/picture and dragging it to the opposite end of the document.
This would set the level of the document. With this tool, apart from a horizon, you can even fix an edgy shelf or a four sided roofline to the perfect horizontal level. Now, click the rotate canvas option to rotate the image and repair 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 choosing the crop tool have the benefit of quick straightening as this tool offers both the cropping and straightening options at once. 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 picture. Again, it can be roofline or an edgy shelf rather than 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 one edge is set, repeat the same to align the rest of the edges. But, note that if you want to repair the vertical lines on your image, then, do not align them with vertical borders. You may fix them by using 'perspective' option available in the option bar. By selecting the perspective option, you may correct the vertical lines by fixing the corners of the boundary meant to be cropped to the correct perspective. Make sure to keep all of the corners in the assigned document.
The perspective element isn't available with Photoshop Elements. You may however activate it by transforming the chosen background into a layer by double clicking on the background. Crooked shots are a rising problem because of the increase of digital cameras where the photographer clicks the snap while keeping the camera straight and looking behind screen. This distorts the photo by making it disproportional. Therefore, clicking 4 to 5 shots of the same subject image isn't the only solution.
The process would not only waste your camera's battery but also its memory. With the latest and user friendly sophisticated tools in Adobe Photoshop Elements, you may eliminate your angled photo and transform it into a visual pleasure.
