    recently. Some times I'll take an image and it may be ,shall we say , off center or straight. MUMMERS MEDAL 2.jpg
    With Photoscape you can straighten it out. In the edit page go to home and under the blocks that convert to B&W etc you'll see one that looks like a sandwich click on tha and you'll be able to straighten it out. MUMMERS MEDAL 2a.jpg

    That photo of the token looks more than 42 years old. How did that happen?

    @dwhiz you can do better. Your original image corrected.

    MUMMERS MEDAL 2.jpg

    Notice that the edged are not chopped off? Go back to the same editor and click the "rotate" in the upper left corner. Make sure the "keep the original size" box is checked. Now you can rotate the image iside the black box without distorting the image size and the corners of the box.

    Sorry... I must be tired. I'm trying to see the difference between the two photos and I can't distinguish anything except the second photo has shrunk and cropped out some of the medal... help? :watching:

    He is trying to show how photo editing works in Photoscape, his original pic was not straight, he edited to make it straight however he cropped it by accident.

    I have exaggerated the the demonstration so you can see the lean and how it can be corrected.

    Which is a lot! More than that, you would have to rotate first, then adjust. Or use PhotoShop, or Paint Shop Pro. Both of which cost $$ and both of which I have. PhotoScape is free and does a lot. I find myself using it more than the others.

    I like PhotoScape, but it is limited in features.

    I have both Photoscape and PaintShopPro, both of which I've used since they came out years ago. I use Photoscape for coins and PSP for my DSLR camera. I've found in the past that sometimes when I try to shoot a landscape I lean a little to the left or right and the horizon doesn't quite come out level. I've found this feature in Photoscape to help straighten out the horizon, it's the perfect tool. I'm still trying to learn (after 68+ yrs.) how to stand up straight...
