	adjusting a horizon by Bill Y. :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I know I have seen, in the Gimp Manual, a way of adjusting a photo that's been taken on a bit of a slant - for instance a photo of a window. I have a photo where my horizon is on a slant. Can anyone remind me where in the Gimp manual it tells me how to adjust this? many thanks for any help! Jude -- Jude T.

It's not the way of adjusting an image that I saw before - where there was a picture of a window. But I'm sure it will do the job. Many thanks. Jude -- Jude T.

Try watching this video at http://meetthegimp.org. It will show you how to use both the rotate and prespective tools. http://meetthegimp.org/episode-037-the-two-minute-holiday-shot-edit/ Joe Carsto _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@... https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Jude Klaus Goelker's book GIMP 2 for Photographers has great information on this.

With that, it's just fun to correct skewed photographs.

If you can't find it, I suggest the chapters on docks & dialogs in the GIMP help pages. I hope you enjoy it, Daniel _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@... https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user signature.asc (205 bytes) Download Attachment
