I just downloaded the trial version of CS2. I have a lot of images on my computer that I scanned into my computer. Naturally, these images were not centered when I used my scanner.
I was just wondering if Photoshop has any features that would allow me to slightly rotate my image to make it completely straight?
I have a requirement to take a relatively simple technical line drawing (think circuit diagrams etc) that have been hand drawn and then somehow convert them into a nice sharp and neat diagram that looks like it had been done in illustrator or Visio.
I know that image editing tools such as Illustrator allow you to "vectorize" a bitmap image but the thing I don't about is whether any of the applications can automatically straighten and correct lines and give me a "nicer" picture as a result?
Does anyone know if this sort of thing is even possible?
I need to do a small bit of horizon straightening on an image which I have.
Using the rotation tool is fair enough.
Under clipping I select crop to result.
In the rotation dialog i enter the angle ( -.7 )
When I click rotate, it goes through the motions of a status bar advancing (green bar), but when it is finished doing its thing the image vanishes entirely, and i'm left with what looks like a transparent background.
If in clipping, I select 'Adjust', it rotates fine but I have to crop the result manually to have the image 'square' with no transparent angled edges.
How the rotation tool works? I'm using Gimp 2.6.4 on Windows Vista.
I took a picture using a 24mm WA lens up close.
The horizon is straight BUT the church is tilted due to the lens.
Can the church be straightened without messing with the rest of the image?
This is NOT a HDR processed image.
After using the straighten tool, I end up with the picture within its own borders the way I want, but it appears on top of another piece of white paper, and skewed on that white paper…how do I get just the straightened picture without it appeared on top of the “white paper”? I am using Photoshop elements 10 on an i Mac desktop.

The instructions in the Editor space say I should click the Straighten tool, draw a line on the photo, and the image will rotate to the angle of the line. I did exactly that and even though the line got drawn, the photo didn't move.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi have photographed an old book of mine, and i am batch cropping and straightening the photos in photoshop, but the cropping fluctuates from, in some shots, editing out just the borders around the book, which is what i want, to editing out one whole page (of the two per photograph)- something i do not want. there does not seem to be any logic to what is edited out or not, it seems random. can anybody help with this inconsistency problem?
i want to edit out just the border (background) around the book, but leave both pages in the photograph. why at times is the program editing out whole single pages leaving only one page per photograph?
P.S. just to update, i have realised that perhaps the problem has to do with the fact that the two pages on the book have, like all books, a dark line vertically down the centre between both pages where the binding is. think of a photcopied page which has a dark line down the centre separating left from right page. i believe that photoshop reads that black centre-line as a border itself and so edits one page out; it assumes the black line is a border and edits out everything outside of it (which contains the other page).
now i'm not sure how to overcome this. is there a way i can set it so that the cropping feature works on some rough template to do with size? the page sizes are relatively similar, so if it used a size-type template to crop, it would work well. this problem is random and not all photographs are problematic, but quite a few seem to cut out one whole page.
I'm working my way through Adobe Photshop 7, ClassRoom in a book. I'm now on lesson three and I'm completely stuck. I have my image open (its not straight and needs cropping)and I have selected the cropping tool and entered the width and height dimensions.
The book then tells you to use the marquee tool to select the area that you want to keep, which I have done. But then things go sour for me. It says after you release the mouse button a cropping shield covers the cropping selection, and the tool bar option now displays choices about the cropping shield. This doesn't happen for me. I just get a broken outline around the area I want to crop.
Also, it says in the tools option bar make sure that the Perspective Check box is not selected. I can't find this on the toolbar.
And, finally,it says, In the image window move the pointer outside the crop marquee, so it appears as a curved double arrow. Then clockwise to rotate the marquee until it is parallel with the edges of the pictured window frame. Again, this doesn't happen for me, all that happens is the pointer changed to a cross.
Does anyone know of a way to automate adjusting the cropping frame
after straightening a picture using the Measure tool?
I have a friend who is verticality challenged. He seems incapable of
getting a shot straight. He just shot a big Christmas party and has
over a hundred shots to straighten. I have to straighten one
occasionally myself. It seems tedious and unnecessary to have to
adjust the cropping frame every time after straightening the picture.
I teach elementary photoediting using all versions PS and PSE.
Somewhere along the line I ran across a version of PSE that
automatically did this. It fit the cropping frame to the picture
content so, if you just wanted to remove the exposed canvas you could
click crop and you were done.
I just got elements 7. I tried to straighten a photo, but I do not know how to save the change.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI wear glasses and in most pictures I'm in, my glasses seem to be crooked and not aligned with my eyes correctly. I wanna know if it's possible to straighten them. I've tried selecting them within a new layer and using the Rotate/Zoom tool, but that doesn't work.
Also, if Paint.net isn't capable of doing this, is there another free image editing program that is?
I've converted a bitmap which contains a pixelated banner in to a vector image. Whilst the output is almost there, some of the edges of the "pixels" are not at right angles and therefore the "pixel" is not a regular rectangle. I have converted all the anchors to corners, however this made some of the "pixels" in to trapezium shapes instead of right angled rectangles. There are too many pixels to modify to do this manually. Is there a way to "Select All" -> "Make all corners 90 degrees" type functionality in Illustrator CS6?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm slowly getting familiar with the new pressure pipe tools. So far I like the layout compass but I'm finding the rest to be rather cumbersome to work with.
One problem I have is how to straighten portions of a pipe in profile after fitting it to a surface profile. Each pipe ends up segmented according to it's cut length property. Typically after fitting it to a surface profile we want to straighten the pipe between critical points along the profile. I don't see any way to do this aside from dragging each segment. Is there a way to remove, add or adjust the length of individual segments?
I don't see any other than the videos provided in the new features catalog.

I have several photographs of amateur paintings that were taken with some kind cheap camera that distorts the edges, making them curved.
I want to straighten those edges and then crop the photo so it'll be just the painting.
I'm trying to find in Paint.NET the functions I use often:
1) How to straighten photos, using an horizontal line or a geometrical figure (I tried yet the radius straighten, but the photos are deformed then)
2) Some info on how to add a transparency layer and how to "colour" an area with transparent background;
3) How to make a gradient of two or more colours with advanced settings;
4) How to cut an area of a photo with precision (point-to point system and point to point "guided" based on colour tollerance levels; magic wand seems not to cut and then I haven't a firm hand);
5) Additional plugins for photo editing (borders, frames, artistic effects, etc.)
Using LR 3, my finished JPG files, exported from RAW, still show a transparent grey area after image straightening/crop is applied. The problem only occurs once images are uploaded via FTP and viewed in Fotostation software.

I am trying to create some images in PS2 that have to be 3.5 to 4.0 mb. When viewing the Image Size screen, I might see an image size of 9.6 mb. However, when I save the image and run my mouse over the image in Bridge, it shows a size between 2 to 3 mb. I can't figure out why this discrepancy, or what math I need to do in order to figure out how to create the required image size other than by trial and error.

How can I easily make the diaper a PMS color and add it to the grayscale baby and still maintain two colors (PMS + K)
Right now, I'm cheating and combining the PMS diaper onto the grayscale baby in Indesign..... but I really need to have this in Photoshop so I can add shadows to make it more convincing. I tried converting the grayscale to CMYK and deleting all channels but black, didn't work as it took away all the information from the image.
See image below.

The entire image is what is blinking, while the photoshop tools remain on.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a faster way to save my images. I shoot in raw, save raw images as jpegs after editing them in Camera Raw. I am using Photoshop CS6 on a Mac version 10.7.5. When I save, I either have to save as a copy of the exisiting image, or replace the image I'm working on. Other forums I've read said to make an action to save and create a function key to make this process faster, but my function keys aren't working, and playing the action I've created still makes a copy of the image.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an action in which it will place an image onto an image like a watermark, when i place the image, it is not center by center so i drag it or use keyboard arrows to center and then press enter, then i saw its on the center, but when i save it, the saved image is not on the center, how was that?
you can see that the right side of border it is not centered because the left side border is thicker than right side, here is the part of the action
you can see that i move the image after i place it because its not on the center so adjusting it makes it at the center but the Translate part is not equal.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to take a handprint such as the one below and change the color of the handprint to say a light pink (or any color) but I want to keep most of the detail of the fine lines that make this handprint unique. The lines could even just come out as white as below. The main thing is to change the overall color while maintaining the fine details. I have been trying to accomplish this for over a week now in Photoshop Elements 11 and I have been unsuccessful as anything I do just totally color fills the image, which does not keep any details of the handprint.
