Saw this on digg. There are some really cool things that I did not know about.
For example:
48. If you want to straighten an image that is crooked (maybe from scanning), click on the eyedropper tool or hit the I key 3 times to get the ruler. Click on the left side of the straight edge, then the right side of the straight (but crooked) edge. The choose Image> Rotate Canvas> Arbitrary, Photoshop will give you the degrees of rotation you just click ok.

Cool link. This tip I did know about (I can't seem to shoot straight horizons when I handhold) but there are many other useful tips in there too. Thanks for sharing.

I remember when I learned that one...that made that article completely worth the time. Now you won't be able to edit a shot without it. Make sure you pass on the wealth to others. I'll hit your link and check it out. Thanks for posting!
