Rotating the Canvas The first step will be to rotate your image so that it is upright. This is achieved by selecting Image>Rotate Canvas . Under this menu you have several options, the most useful of which are: 180° 90° CW (clock-wise) 90° CCW (counterclock-wise) Flip Horizontal is useful if your image is backwards. Flip Vertical if it is both backwards and upside down. For your image, 90° CCW is the best option. Though your image is mostly upright, it still is slightly skewed to the right. You can rotate it that small amount to the left while at the same time cropping all the excess you don’t want, out of the picture with the crop tool. To select the crop tool, either press the C key on the key board or click the crop tool on the tool bar and it will turn white to show that it is se- lected. The Crop Tool…. Color Balance When working with a color image, it is useful to be able to adjust the tint the image has. You may have noticed your image looks a little too yellow. To correct this select Image>Adjust>Color Balance or press Ctrl-B . Make sure the Preview box is clicked so that you can see the changes you make. To get rid of the yellow cast that the image has, drag the triangle that lies on the line between yellow and blue toward blue until the yellow tinge is eliminated. The three buttons labeled Shadows, Mid- tones, and Highlights, indicate which values you are changing. Hence, if there is a blue tinge to the darker regions of an image, switch it to Shadows and up the yellow con- tent. Play with the sliders until you like the way the image looks, then hit OK.
