  • Brain Freeze: Line Tool and Rotation

    Posted by Craig Sommerer on November 29, 2006 at 3:33 pm

    Several years ago, I took an After Effects Class with Richard Harrington in Chicago. He clued us into the great rotation trick using the line tool to precisely figure the angle of rotation needed to straighten an image. I haven’t used it in a while, I’ve lost my notes from that session, I can’t find it in his “Photoshop CS for Nonlinear Editors” text, I can’t find the procedure in the pdf manual or the printed manual. Am I imagining this procedure?

    Reading that sparked the noggin to life and the procedure worked as slick as I remember.
