This is probably going to sound like a stupid question to most but please humour me as I'm completely new to post processing really! :lol:

I've taken a few landscape shots but the horizon is slightly out (not straight across the scene) and I'd like to tweak it abit so that it looks flat. How do I do this in Elements 8? I've had a play about but can't seem to get the desired result.
 
I don't have elements but in the full version theres a ruler tool which you click and drag across the horizon, then on the toolbar theres a straighten option or you can go tnto image/rotate/ arbitary and it'll square it up for you (although you may have to crop out any canvas background that shows with this option)
 
On the left hand tool bar there is a straighten tool (2 off set squares) or you can hit P on the keyboard to select it.

Just drag the line across the horrizon to straighten it, you will then have to re-crop it.

If straightening a vertical line hold down the Ctrl Key while dragging the line.
 
Thanks folks...sorted! :thumbs:
