What almost two year’s means to my little girl’s feet.
Children are a blessing... make sure you remind yourself of that every day and keep children around (they make you a better person).

Crop and Straighten Command in Photoshop
Tuesday, April 07 ,2009 Filed in: Adobe
- Place multiple photos on your scanner. For best results, you need to keep 1/8 inch between the images in your scan. If the Crop And Straighten Photos command does not succeed (which is rare), you should process the individual images using the Crop tool.
- If you’re working in a multilayered image, select the layer that contains the images. If you only want some of the images, draw a selection border around one or more images.
- Choose File > Automate > Crop And Straighten Photos.
Each image should be cropped, straightened, and moved into its own document window.
