Here's a quick tip on how to straighten a photo with Adobe Camera Raw.

Start with a photograph that needs some straightening. Click on the Straighten Tool icon. You can also press the "A" key, which is the ACR short-cut key for the Straighten Tool.

Find a feature in the photograph that should be straight and then click-and-drag the cursor along the edge of the feature.

ACR will then change the display so that you can see what the rotation will look like. This is helpful for seeing what will be cropped after rotating the photo.

Simply press the Return/Enter key and ACR will complete the rotation.
