How do you straighten the picture?

I feel like there is a way to straighten a photo that was taken out of level. I am using the Digital Photo Professional because I can't figure out how to use the Elements 6.

I don't think DPP has a straighten tool. I think all you can do is rotate 90 degrees.

Elements should have a ruler tool. If so, use it to trace a horizontal or vertical line to adjust the photo with and then go to edit/image > rotate canvas > arbitrary. PS should have the default angle already selected. Minor cropping will be required.

Picasa3 has a great straighten tool and is free. DPP doesn't unfortunately.

I appreciate the responses. I was able to figure out how to use the Elements program enough to open and straighten a couple of photos. I find the DPP easier to navigate so I haven't put enough effort into learning Elements.

You can straighten images with the crop tool. Here's a tutorial:

Thanks for the tutorial. That is very good. Is there more tutorials for Elements?

Usually I grab one end while my lumberjack friend grabs the other end. Then we twist.

OK more seriously, I do it in Lightroom if ultimate straightness is critical. It's not possible in DPP. Shame on Canon for that.
