Operation Manual

• Click the left or right arrow in the Angle value slider, or drag in the value field.
• Double-click the number in the Angle value slider, then enter a value from –20.0 to
20.0 degrees and press Return.
Use the Angle slider and value
slider to straighten the image.
Decreasing the value rotates the image clockwise, and increasing the value rotates the
image counterclockwise.
As you rotate the image, a yellow grid overlay appears to help you make the horizon
perfectly straight, and the image is cropped to prevent gaps from appearing in the corners
of the image.
Note: It’s a good idea to turn zooming off when straightening an image, so that the full
image fits within the Viewer. If an image is zoomed in to its actual size, you can turn off
zooming by clicking the Zoom Viewer button in the tool strip or the Full Screen view
toolbar (or by pressing Z).
Working with the Crop Controls
You use the Crop tool and the Crop adjustment controls when you want to improve the
composition of your image by trimming the edges, or when you want to change the
aspect ratio of the image. For example, you can change an image’s aspect ratio from 4 x 6
to 3 x 5.
