[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]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?
