Hold the mouse button down and drag until the crossbars align with elements in the
image that you want to be vertical or horizontal.

In this example, the horizontal crossbar has been aligned with the hillside and
the vertical crossbar has been aligned with the tree, so that the tree will look
like it’s growing straight up out of flat ground after the image is straightened.

Move the pointer over any part of the image that’s away from the crossbars and click.

After a moment, PhotoFlash rotates the image around the point you specified
in step 3. If necessary, the work area enlarges to accommodate the entire
straightened image.

Rotating an image

You can rotate part of an image by using the Rotate tool, or you can rotate the
entire image by using the Rotate command in the Image menu. You can also
use the Straighten command to rotate an entire image as described in the
previous section. Use the Straighten command when you want to align the
image horizontally or vertically, and the Rotate command when you want to
rotate the image a specific number of degrees.
