so you just have a hard time straightening an object in the composition… here’s a tip:

to repair a crooked image, use the measure tool [U] to draw a line along what should be a horizontal or vertical line (the edge of the image, a door frame, across the eyes of a person in a portrait, etc.), and then choose image » rotate canvas » arbitrary…;

the correct angle and direction will appear, just hit OK.

keep in mind that you can also use the crop tool [C] to rotate and crop an image in one step. select the crop tool [C] and draw a rectangular region. use the crop handle to scale the marquee, and drag outside the marquee to rotate it; hit enter to crop the image.

see?
