To straighten your image using the straighten tool, follow these steps: 1 With an image open within the editor, click the straighten tool in the toolbar. 2 Locate a line within the image that should be either vertical or horizontal and click on the start of the line. Holding the mouse button down, draw the entire length of the line, letting go when you have reached the end of that line. The straighten tool will then calculate the direction and degree of the rotation to apply to the image to make the line you described either horizontal or vertical. 3 If you made a mistake while drawing the line, you can click on the line you added to the image and adjust one of the two anchor points found at either end of the line, or you can re-draw the line by clicking and dragging within the image window again. 4 By default, Capture NX 2 will automatically crop the image using the same aspect ratio to hide all areas of the image where there is no image information. These areas that lack information are created when the image is rotated, and are represented by pure white pixels. To prevent Capture NX 2 from automatically cropping the image, check the Include areas without image data option in the Straighten step of the Edit List palette. 92 Chapter 13 - The Toolbar | Straighten Tool
