Ken,

I have been pondering the same question.  I am right-handed, left-eyed, and, 
from my recent experience scanning slides taken over many years, frequently 
tilting my shots to the right.  In PS processing of the offending images, I 
will average a two-degree correction to the left about 95% of the time. 
Seldom do I encounter one needing a correction to the right.  Funny, isn't 
it?
