Photoshop :: Straighten Ruler Tool Putting Image Way Off Canvas

Mar 12, 2012

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 .

Photoshop :: Getting Error When Straighten Image With Ruler Tool

Aug 22, 2012

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.

Photoshop :: Why Does Straighten Tool Straighten But Not Automatically Crop

Apr 2, 2012

if 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.

Photoshop :: Using Crop Tool To Straighten Crooked Image

Sep 5, 2013

In 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?

Photoshop Elements :: Why Does Straighten Tool In 11 Freeze When Try To Use It

Oct 25, 2012

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.

Photoshop :: CS3 Ruler Tool

Apr 12, 2008

According to Adobe Photoshop CS3 Classroom in a Book, there's a ruler tool hidden behind the Eyedropper tool. All I see are the Eyedropper tool, the Color sampler tool, and the Count tool.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, v10.0.1

How do I get the ruler tool?

Photoshop :: Ruler Tool

Jun 12, 2009

I use the ruler tool a lot and hate the way it keeps reverting to the eye-dropper tool in the toolbar all the time! Is there a way to stop this from happening? If you use the ruler tool, then some other tools all seems okay until you save the image - at that point the ruler is replaced with the default eye-dropper tool. Therefore if you want to use it again you have to select it again which is a pain. Most tools seem to stay as they are when saving except the ruler. This was the same in CS3 by the way. I was hoping this might have been fixed in CS4. I'm using CS4ext in Vista Business.

Photoshop :: Possible To Calibrate Ruler Tool In Centimeters

Apr 25, 2012

I need to show specific ratios on the image, e.g., this distance is to this as that is to that. A measuring tool that works in pixels is pretty cumbersome. IS it possible to re-calibrate the ruler tool to measure in millimeters, centimeters, etc.? Pixels don't really make it for me.  It seems like an obvious choice, but I can't figure out how to do it.

I often use the ruler tool. Its located below the eyedropper tools.

How can I bring up this tool to select it with one fast click - instead of long clicking at the eyedropper to wait the popping up the (sub)tools.

The shortcut "I" only selects the first of the tools.

Photoshop :: Canvas Size Will Constrain Image Rather Than Cropping Canvas

Feb 23, 2012

I just got CS5.1 at my job. This must be a preference, but when I adjust the Canvas size, it will constrain the image, rather than cropping the canvas. The Anchor in the Canvas Size menu appears outlined (highlighted?) which indicates that this is something in preferences that I can adjust.

Photoshop :: Crop Tool Rotation Not Good Ruler?

Nov 13, 2013

I like the features built into the crop tool since CS6, but I have one major issue  which I can’t seem to find any comment or resolution on. Basically, if I rotate an image using the crop tool, I find horizontal and vertical lines tend to be jagged, as if very rough anti-aliasing had been applied.
 
If I rotate the same image using the ruler tool, vertical and horizontal lines appear smooth and correct. They actually appear straight, not jagged.The result is I have to leave the crop tool, jump into the ruler tool, make my rotation (which is nearly always bringing a vertical or horizontal back to true), then back to the crop tool.
 
  It first appeared in CS6, and now I’m using CC it’s just the same.  Is there a fix, am I doing something wrong?

Xara :: Crop And Straighten With The Fill Tool?

Dec 19, 2012

You can easily fix crooked photos, zoom and crop with the fill tool.

The first step is to make sure you have the rulers enabled (window>bars>rulers) then click and drag a horizontal guideline from the ruler.

Select your photo and select the fill tool, you will see that your photo is actually a vector shape with a bitmap fill. Click and drag the outer fill handles to enlarge (zoom) the bitmap within the shape and rotate as needed to straighten the image. Move the cursor over the line of the fil handles until it changes to a hand then click and drag the photo around to adjust it's position within the shape.

Lightroom :: Can Get Crop And Straighten Tool To Default To 16 : 9

Jun 29, 2012

I have a large number of RAW photos from a Canon 7D which are destined for use in a Premiere Pro CS6 project.

I want to crop each of them to the preset 16x9 1920 x 1080.

What I would like to happen is that when I open the photo in the develop module and press the R button to open the Crop and Straighten tool, that the Aspect 16X9 crop overlay is selected be default, rather then the "original".

This would save me a lot of mouse clicks...

Or perhaps it's possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to that particular aspect so I can press R and then something else?

Photoshop :: CS4 Extended (custom) Measurement Ruler Tool - For Curves / Radius?

Jan 17, 2013

I have created a custom measurement tool to measure distances (captured from sattelite imagery, and using the distance key as the guide) and it works great. However, I would like to be able to use the same tool to measure curves/radiuses. Say for instance a mountain road. I know the scale of the photo, and can measure any straight (line) angle, but can I do the same for a curve or radius using the same scale?

Photoshop :: Add Ruler To Image?

Jul 24, 2006

I frequently use a flatbed scanner to capture images of them. I normally import the scan into Photoshop and tweak it before saving.

I'd like to also be able to easily put a ruler in the scanned image to show the size of the item scanned. A layer that was transparent except for a ruler that ran along the sides and top of the image would be perfect. Can I create such an image and then paste it on top of each scanned image?

Is there an easier way to do what I want to do? Maybe something already in Photoshop, or some kind of plug-in?

I'm using Photoshop Elements,

Paint.NET :: Image Editor Software Auto-straighten Feature?

Feb 7, 2012

I used to use an image editor software (can't remember the name) that had an auto-straighten feature. Basically you could drag a line onto the image, and "draw" it along the correct angle of the image. Then the software would rotate the image just enough to make that line look completely horizontal.

Is there any way to do this in Paint.Net? Maybe with an Add-in? I loved that feature, and I find the layers rotate dialog box to be annoying to use.
