Straighten slanted graphics

If you have an image that appears slightly slanted, it can be fixed quickly using Adobe Photoshop's Free Transform tool (also found in Photoshop Elements). To start, use your cursor to stretch out the window around the image area so you can see the canvas on all sides of the image (the cursor will turn to double arrows, indicating it's ready to stretch). Then select the image (CTRL + A) and click EDIT » Free Transform. Move the mouse cursor to a corner of the image until it becomes a curved double arrow. Next, move your image to straighten it. When you're finished, hit ENTER, then deselect the image (CTRL + D). You can now edit and crop the image as needed.
