rotate guide line in CS3

"Janco" wrote in message

Hi;
how do I rotate guide line in CS3 for a certain amount of degrees? is that possible?
thx

use the ruler to make the line you want to align the image to then use IMAGE>rotate arbitrary (it will show the degrees automatically)

Could you be more specific on how to use the ruler to make the reference line? I spent half an hour on this yesterday – not getting anything that would pre-set the arbitrary value in image-rotate.

Not sure how to make it more clear

select the ruler tool from the flyout (under dropper) not the ruler guides from the margins

if you have say a crooked horizon or some wall that is slanted draw your line with the ruler tool along that edge
then select image>> rotate>> the degrees needed to straighten will be there

another way is to open the RAW dialog and use straighten tool

Select the Ruler Tool and draw a line over the horizon (or over something that should be vertical). Then choose ‘Image – Image Rotation – Arbitrary’. The angle is already filled in because of what you did with the ruler tool, so you only have to hit the Enter key to get your image straightened.

Don’t seem to have the ruler tool. (Mac v. of CS3).

What you describe is exactly what I have been searching for … no cigar. Isn’t there.

Yep.

…. in the Mac v. of PS CS3?

Cannot find the ruler tool. I’m either blind or stupid. I’m not blind. (pls don’t reply to that).

Here’s my toolbar:

You should be able to find it by rt-clicking on the eye-drop tool.

Click the little triangle in the lower right of the eyedropper icon (3rd from the bottom). That shows you the other tools in that box. The ruler tool should be there as a drop-down. CS4 has the eyedropper, ruler tool, color sampler tool, and two others there.

The fact that there is a triangle in the eyedropper icon box tells me that there *are* other tools there.
