Thanks a ton, Demas. I was not aware that you can do it this way in L/R (with guiding lines).

[@demasrusli]

[@tobeetwo]

[@cristinastivala4381]

Super helpful !!! Thank you so much :)

[@demasrusli]

Thanks so much! Glad you found it useful :)

[@MrTrev2u]

In Photoshop you can use the transform tool in Camera Raw to straighten a RAW image. Additionally, if you're working with a tif or jpg file, you can go Filter > Camera Raw Filter > Transform Tool and straighten the image as well. Photoshop doesn't give you the zoomed in box to show where your curser is however.

[@demasrusli]

Ohh thanks for the tip! I'll give that a go next time - I think the thing to watch out for is if it crops the image (destructively) after the straightening process. Because in the video (the way I do it in Photoshop), you can still access the parts of the image that get cropped.

[@MrTrev2u]

@@demasrusli That's a good point. I usually try to give myself enough room that that doesn't become an issue, but it might actually crop the image similar to adjusting for camera distortion. (I checked back and it does crop it unfortunately. Still good for quick edits but not for all instances.) The way you show in photoshop is actually the way I had learned to do it originally about 12 years ago. I may have to look into learning Lightroom a little more as well.

[@sdubose99]

@@demasrusli My go-to in PS is the Camera RAW editor... Shift-command A, then Shift T... it includes guided uprights. No need to click Guided, just start drawing lines vert and horiz, good to go. And you can adjust the "scale" so not to crop unnecessarily

[@andrea_dema]

This is very interesting! Thanks for this tutorial!!

[@demasrusli]

Thank youu!

[@richardhulbert7359]

Thanks for your response re: the wide angle tool in PS. I have seen it used when correcting panoramic images of urban scapes where straight or horizontal lines or edges have become slightly curved due to the camera not being perfectly level.

[@demasrusli]

I see! I think if you have a lens that distorts your images the first thing is to try the Lens Correction function in Lightroom or Camera RAW in Photoshop

[@Zowarma]

Helpful! I subbed! :)

[@Nana-su2lh]

Very USEFUL video!!! This is actually the first tutorial about straightening (in PS) that I've found in KZbin... and it has provided me lots of info I had no idea about...!! My way of straightening pictures (I am also obsessed with straight lines!) is: Lightroom, transform, off modality, play with sliders...🙈 Will definitely give your way a try!!! P.S: I am not saying where you get your t-shirt from, as more than ten people already did😂, however about your future topics, I am sure that whichever you'll pick is gonna be useful!!

[@demasrusli]

Thanks so much for the kind comment! I'm excited to make lots more videos/tutorials soon!
