Straighten Pictures in PhotoShop

I would like to thank Inigmntoya for showing me how to do this.
This is the orginal picture we need to straighten. It is not off a lot but it just does not look very good. It is very easy and quick to do.
Orignal Image		This is the orginal picture we need to straighten. It is not off a lot but it just does not look very good. It is very easy and quick to do.
Load the picture in PhotoShop. Click and hold on the Eyedroper, this will bring up the next menu. Now slide to the Measure Tool.
First Step		Load the picture in PhotoShop.

Click and hold on the Eyedroper, this will bring up the next menu.
Now slide to the Measure Tool.
With this tool draw a line along the item you want to be stright. Here I put it right on the line of the building. After you draw the line you can move it and adjust it to the correct position if needed. When you grab the top you can move the line and it will pivot at the bottom. When you grab the bottom of the line it will pivot at the top. If you grab it in the center the line will move side to side.

Now that you have the line just the way you want it, straight. Click on Image on the top menu bar, slide to Rotate Canvas and then to Arbitrary and click.
