Thank you. I recently purchased CS3 and don’t know very much about it. I gave your tutorial a try on a picture and it worked great.

Hah awesome. I'm not a beginner at Photoshop, and I've used the crop tool MANY times, but I still got some great new details from this tutorial. Thanks =)

Hi my friend. The tutorial teaches how to do two things in Photoshop...

1) How to use the ruler tool to straighten an image (i.e., you had your camera tilted a little when you took that shot - now you need to straighten it).

2) How to use the crop tool to crop your image down to the best possible view.

Have a great day!
