Sorry if this is redundant - I've been having a horrendous time with  
my email server doing its level best to imitate a black hole and  
swallowing all incoming and outgoing email. So I have no idea if this  
suggestion has already been posted.

This is much easier in Camera Raw. Just select the straighten tool,  
draw the line and the image is straightened and cropped non- 
destructively in 1 step.

With CS3 this can also be done with jpegs. And TIFFs I think.

Does this mean you don't know, Alistair, or they don't know?  In any  
case, if you have a tilted horizon, go to the tools palette in  
Photoshop and right click on the tool that looks like an eyedropper.   
The drop down menu will say Measure Tool.  Select it and then use  
that tool to draw a line along the tilted horizon (or a tilted tree  
or building vertically) then go to Image > Rotate Canvas >  
Arbitrary.  It will tell you how many degrees your horizon or tree is  
off level.  Click OK and it will straighten the horizon or tree for  
you.  Then you just need to crop the photo to fit the new horizon.   
It's magic and one of the best tools in Photoshop!
