Thanks DR thats good to hear thank you

Continue please, Shaun. I hardly use PS and yet I can use other editing programs easily. I know it's just a question of sitting down and learning it....or then it could be a question of watching these tutorials!

Keep up the good work Shaun, I wish i had managed to find basic guides when first got into Photoshop. Although I can mostly find my way around now could never do a tutorial. I'm not good at explain how to do anything. Plus there are so many ways to do everything on there its useful to see other ways.Never looked at the rotate canvas tool before. I use free transform and then crop.

First time I've heard it too. Wouldn't be surprised if Ken actually calls them 'wireless buttons'.

It's possible another website suddenly burst into song at the same time, and I thought it was yours.

Anyway, good effort, and apologies for suggesting you were pandering to de yoot.

Thats ok G thanks again every one

I may be missing something here but I can't see anything in the linked photo -- such as a line that would have been be vertical or horizontal -- that would tell you whether it's "straight" or not. If it's just a question of rotating it so it seems more aesthetically pleasing, then by all means twist it around half a degree, but if you're after an accurate representation of the scene, it could be it's just as it appears. Nature isn't always regular, symmetrical or aesthetically pleasing.

I feel a little reluctant to comment on this post as it carries my name in the title! However, as it was 'inspired' by my observations on some gallery posts, I will have a go!

1. I think the tutorial is great Shaun, just what others need, such as Dr O and myself who find Photoshop very un-intuitive and a little baffling. It is powerful software but not the easiest to use and I say this from the perspective of someone who is involved from a functional perspective in software design.

2. I do agree that the subject picture could have been different and this would have hammered home the point a little better. For example a seascape with a tilted horizon would have been ideal.

3. A good point is made earlier in the post that some images with water look tilted when in fact they are not, e.g. a lake where the shoreline is not on the horizon and has one water edge closer than the other.

Please keep it up Shaun, the tutorials are invaluable, even if there are 1000 different ways of achieving an end result, a lot of us don't know any of them.

Regards
David
