ACR 1.0
To me on of the most common touch up required is straightening the horizon. Some people don’t mind photos slanting here and there. Some even use it as part of creative expression. However all those depends on individual on the message that they wanted to bring forth. I rather not start on why horizon must straight in landscape. It may works with creative angle on portrait, still life, conceptual, street, urban etc but in landscape? Hmmm…. I better shut up!
Anyway, to straighten the horizon in ACR is such a breeze. Sometime I even purposely open files in ACR just because wanna straighten the horizon here is much easier than in Photoshop which requires few steps. I admit that I’m such a lazy fart!
Straighten Tools
Well, I think from the image, it has been so clear on what need to be done.
- Click at the Straighten Tool or Press A.
- Drag along a line that represent horizontally or vertically aligned.
Done!
Take note the ACR automatically crop those unwanted edges.
