I am a photographer and I am trying to straighten a postcard photo of the Washington Memorial. I want to straighten the memorial without harming the rest of my photo (it is a aperture priority photo and I have flowers near my camera and the memorial in the background). So I want to highlight the memorial and straighten it- what is the best way to do this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have followed the instructions provided but when I click on Stragten Photo, it turns the photo almost diagonally. I never get the line that appears in the How To blurb. I find that i go back to my old software to do this task as it is much easier.
View 1 Replies View Relatedif I use the Straighten tool (first the ruler to mark out a horizon line, then click the Straighten Layer button), Photoshop used to straighten the picture, and then automatically crop it so that none of the extra canvas shows.
When I do that now, it just straightens it, and leaves me to manually crop the picture.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI created a new file, set my sizes and all that, 8bit and began...I literally am using the line tool to make a straight line vertically, I then want to use my brush at 2pixels and 100 hardness to "stroke path", I set my brush then select path selection tool and right click on the line, but "stroke path" is grayed out? I really don't understand. I am following these directions from a website on how to create postcard back.
this is what i was following:
Create a new document with the same exact specifications used earlier for the front. Grab the Line tool and draw a straight vertical line shorter than the postcard’s height, and then place it slightly off center. Set your brush to a size of one or two pixels with a hardness of 100 percent. With the Path Selection tool, right click on the line and choose “Stroke Path.”
I created a postcard for my business using PS6. I edited an old card that I had from what I think was a jpg or pdf. I now have photoshop cs2, and I need to edit the text on the card only, not the background. I have it saved as a jpg, and a pdf, however once I open it in CS2, what do I do to be able to delete the old text and begin typing new?
I'm using PS CS2 and windows Xp.

I have designed a postcard which MUST be exactly 100mm x 150mm. This is being professionally printed mail-order in a batch of 60, so I don't get any tryouts - it has to be correct when I send it.The postcard consists of one image and some text. I want it to be crisp, clear and hi-res.At first I tried to do it in Photoshop 7, but I cannot work out how to get the text next to or around the image.
Then I made a beautiful postcard in Indesign CS2, setting the setup page to 100 x 150. This took 2 hours and it is perfect, HOWEVER, when I export it as a JPG or TIFF it comes out really tiny on the screen and I fear that if I send it to the printer like that it will get stretched to 100 x 150 and consequently get distorted and blurred.I tried exporting it as a PDF then converting that PDF to a JPG but the colours went all blotchy.
So I am back trying to do it in Photoshop 7 but I cannot work out how to make the image exactly 150 x 100 and also get text around it.
This problem will probably be very simple for a lot of you. Unfortunately, I'm not as adept at Photoshop as I should, or would like to be.
I want to design a postcard for my business, using several photos in a scattered arrangement on the card, with my business name on.
I'm using Elements 5 and have played around with the "create a greeting card" function. It comes close to what I want to do, but it does seem rather basic. As Photoshop always seems have more than one way of doing something, I was wondering if there is more effective way of going about it, buried in Elements somewhere. Or perhaps there is another, (preferably cheap) program that is better at this. One thing I would like to do is to change the background colour on the card and not have to rely on the background templates offered in the special effects palette. Ultimately, I will be getting them professionally printed, so I will need to supply the printer with the art work in the appropriate form.

My old computer was Windows XP and my new computer is Windows 7. It installed with no problem.
I haven't been able to figure out how to use the Straighten tool without cropping.
I am starting with a full page image with Pixel Dimensions of 9750 x 13050 pixels, and a Document Size of 8.125 x 10.875 inches. I want to use the Straighten tool, and then use the Patch tool to fix the resulting irregularities around the edges.
But no matter what I try, I end up with smaller Pixel Dimensions and a smaller Document Size; for example: 9725 x 13016 pixels and 8.104 x 10.847 inches. This occurs regardless of whether I have the Delete Cropped Pixels boxed checked.
I also tried starting with a Canvas Size of 8.125 x 10.875 inches, and using Place…to bring in the image. But the Straighten process still results in a similar reduction in the Pixel Dimensions and Document Size.
I am accessing the Straighten tool via the Crop tool. Is there any other method to Straighten?
The screenshots below show the original Image Size (top) and the Image Size after Straighten (bottom).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a very big folder of .txt files that are flattened. They contain various words, but since they have an ugly old effect on them I need to flatten them out.
The text has a wave or an arch, always in a different position. How do I do the following by way of macro:
1) identify the size of arch and it's highest point.
2) then inverse it, so it straightens it out.
I want to apply this to thousands of old headings/headlines. This is why I need to create a macro for this.
I am running Photoshop CS. I have many hundred documents to scan and was going to use the pre loaded "Crop and Straighten" tool under file/automate. My problem is I want to run this over a folder that will save and close, not just one image at a time.
I also want it to do an automatic save using the current file name without adding the word "copy" to it, and not have to type over the file name each time when the save option comes up with "Filename copy.tiff".
I know the Crop and straighten tool is great for putting several images on a scanner and it separating them into individual images, but this is not what I am doing, I have one scan, one document.
So is it possible to run this over a folder of 500+ documents and walk away from it, have all images save and close using the current name, and not fill the desktop up with many opened images that need to be manually closed?
Could anyone tell me how to flatten / straighten an image.
I have tried using the perspective crop tool but it only works on rectangular images.
My boyfriend purchased Photoshop Elements 11 for me recently and I am just now learning how to use it. I did some Wedding photos for a friend yesterday and I've edited them but some of them are slightly crooked. I went looking for a straightening tool but was unable to find it. I finally found in the menu where it says 'Rotate' and looked in that selection and at the bottom it says Straighten and Crop and underneath that is another that says "Straighten".
I went on Youtube and whatever I find there is so majorly different from my program that I cannot even use their tutorials. How to use Photoshop elements 11 to straighten my photos? I need to do this right away so the couple can have their photos.
I have a couple of photos of the sun (700 to be exact) that I'm trying to crop. Doing it manually on each one would be very tedious and so I found the automatic script of Crop & Straighten.
However, even though it does a good crop when I batch process all my snaps using an action with the crop & straighten within it, the photos are also straightened or rotated in this case. Is there any way to avoid the straightening part to work on the images and just use the tool to crop the images automatically ?
When I click on the straighten tool and then click on a horizontal line on my photo, as I attempt to draw the line across the photo it freezes after a fraction of an inch and rotates the photo before I've drawn the line along the horizontal feature I'm using and it's always wrong. I had this problem with my downloaded trial version of Elements 11 and it appears on the version I purchased in the store today.
View 10 Replies View RelatedIn CS6 I have an image that was scanned in and is crooked. I use the Crop tool to drag the crop marks around the portion of the image I want to keep and I press the Check mark to do the crop.
It crops the image though it does not straighten it out. In previous versions of Photoshop it use to crop and straighten the image by cropping it. How do you now use the Crop tool to straighten an image?
When I am trying to straighten an image with the ruler tool, I keep receiving the following error:
Error 8800: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
- The command "Set" is not currently available.Line: 254-> app.activeDocument.activeLayer.isBackgroundLayer = false;
I don't understand why this isn't working because I have used this feature before.
One of my students was using the Ruler tool to straighten an image. Her image kept flipping way off the canvas to one side, even though we checked to make sure her reference point for rotation was in the middle of the image (it was).
I can't duplicate the mistake or find any other complaints about/reference to it .
AFAICT there is no option to make the Straighten function in CS6 automatically crop out the transparent pixels as happens with CS5.
