How to Correct a Leaning Horizon Using Photoshop

In this 4.5 minute video i’ll show you two simple ways to correct leaning horizons using Photoshop CS.

Here’s a condensed checklist of the video.

Method 1:

  • Select Analysis -> Ruler Tool
  • Place the cross on the horizon, press left mouse button and place the line along the horizon. Release the mouse button
  • Go to Image->Rotate Canvas->Arbitrary
  • Press OK (rotation angle is already pre-set)
  • Crop the white edges around the image
  • You’re done

Method 2:

  • Select View->Show->Grid
  • Select Select->All
  • Select Edit->Transform->Skew
  • Grab one of the small rectangles and push it upwards to straighten the horizon
  • No cropping required
  • You’re done

    I, for one, love your tutorial. As a novice who is trying to get into stock photography, this is very helpful to me. I had no idea you could straighten the horizon as you did in the photo. I will keep coming to your tutorials to learn more. I like the idea of the step-by-step instructions. Sorry, couldn\’t find the rating info. Thanks
