<p>[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2708200, member: 77413"][USER=25416]@dwhiz[/USER], here's a small trick. When I straighten my photos I use the top edge of a window as a level. This is a screen capture from software I wrote, so it's not necessarily going to apply to all photo editing software. I can rotate the image by 1/2 degree increments until the lines are exactly even.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]610899[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Rotated by 1.0 degrees, the line of the step matches the top edge of this tool window. So if your editor can show grid lines, you may want to turn them on and align to them. Or you can even use a window from another application. This is how I straightened the bottom right image of this 2001-S, shown below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]610901[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>2001 Proof</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]610897[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]610898[/ATTACH] </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
