I’ve got a scan that’s about .5 degrees off square.

So, I see Adobe Photoshop has a straighten AND a (straighten and crop) tool.

It seems after using the straigten tool (it STILL seems to force a crop on you – i.e. you can’t just straighten withOUT cropping – then why 2 options??) I can not turn OFF "rotate". IOW, if I use the crop function, it won’t let me drag the borders. Instead when I’m outside the canvas, the little rotate double arrows are present. HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM? I suppose I could close and reopen, but if that’s the workaround, it’s a sad solution.

I’m running either 6.0 or 7.0.

Solution: rescan the image square as it’s 10x faster.

Can ANYONE explain how to straight a crooked image (because of scanner).

EVERY help screen on the web shows a "measure tool" that I can NOT see via the dropper palette. Adobe’s help is no good.

How can companies sell this software when it either doesn’t work or their OWN help does not explain?
