I have had Elements 9 for a while now, and have found it very good, as it produces excellent results, in what I think is a logical, easy to follow fashion.
However, one thing escapes me so far - how to correct a "tilt". I have a habit of leaning to the right slightly, and on a recent set of images, it is more than obvious, because there are buildings and other vertical structures, which are just not vertical.
How do I go about correcting this fault in Elements 9?

Image > Rotate > Straighten Image

edit: I think that's what you are saying, technically a tilt is a shift in perspective.

Easiest way is to use the straighten tool in the tool bar on the left ( or use P on the keyboard to select it).

For horizontals draw a line across the image and it will automaticly straighten.

For verticals click the start point and hold Ctrl then draw your line.
 
Think you can also select "crop", select the whole image, then sort of hover the mouse just outside a corner handle and it will let you rotate it 'by hand'. Once youve straightened you'll probably have to crop again to crop out the white space that appeared.
 
Cheers folks, used Nawty's method - Image/rotate/custom, then rotated 4 degrees, and cropped to get rid of the white bits. I cannot believe it was out by so much, middle of the day without alcohol as well:lol:
