I was in Banff for a wedding, and I had 2.5 hours to kill while the wedding party was getting their pictures taken. I wandered off beyond the town (on foot, in my fancy attire), and found a hiking trail that led out to this beautiful scene. I am pretty sure this was one of the Vermilion Lakes, and all I know about the mountains are that they are the Canadian Rockies. NOTE: I know its not entirely straight... I usually straighten with Picasa, and I don't have that here on my mac. I don't know an easy way to straighten in Photoshop.

Jeff there are several easy ways to fix it in photoshop - the automated crop and straighten photo function, the lens correction function (this has lots of correction tools and a grid overlay), you can use the crop tool to select and change the rotation of a crop or just display the grid and use a regular rotate transformation.

Wonderful view with gorgeous colors and composition! Think it was time well spend. Just hope that you didn't get your clothes dirty LOL
Another way to straighten in Photoshop is the image rotate function... you can rotate an image per degree.

Yup, use the crop tool. The tilt is so slight, had you not said anything, I wouldn't have noticed. Lovely desktop and a keeper.
