FH Photo Comp #3

[Tom]

Just enough so the vertical lines are vertical. Well that's what I'd do.

A good bit of free software for fiddling, especially with RAW images, is Raw Therapee.

Oh and Tom, any idea how much etc I should rotate it? I'm always up for making my photos that wee bit better. Tips on how to would be nice aswell, only began attempting to photoshop recently

This is how it looks vertically

A quick and dirty way to do it in photoshop is to load up your image, create a new layer, draw a bright coloured straight line (use pen or brush and hold shift whilst drawing vertically), then switch to background and press ctrl+a (select all) then ctrl+t and rotate the image until it matches the line you drew, then double click to accept rotation, delete the line layer, job done.

I also used the auto variations to correct the colour, ctrl+shift+a.

This took all of 30 seconds, obviously spending more time you can do some great things, (probably would break the rules of the compo but deffo worth learning for your own personal work)

Thanks a lot bob. As I said earlier I'm a complete novice with photoshop, so really need to learn the basics first and what not. Been looking at a few tutorials here and there aswell.

I'll have a play about tomorrow since I've got the day off, see if I can some up with anything better (probably similar) to bob's, just so I can enter it as my own. (Thank god for TdC being slow)
