The cabinet maker I mentioned in my earlier post told me that it was a matter of the brain learning to acknowledge the input from the eye, a "zen" kind of thing. And you're right, Mark. We can walk into a room and "know" immediately that a picture is hung out of true, and if you put a level on it, you will discover that it might not be more than 1/64" in 3 or 4 feet, but the brain recognizes it immediately. He taught classes at Hancock Shaker Village and told me that was one of the reasons the Shakers turned out such beautiful furniture...they understood the "zen" of proportion and shape. And, Tina, for all the PS Elements folk, that tip also works in Elements, using Image > Rotate > Custom, and you then enter a number for the amount of rotation. Thanks!! Ken
