Thanks Richard
I would have bought one of those little spirit level gizmos but for the
fact that the suppliers (in the UK) seem to think that their market
will stand ludicrous prices :-(, The same goes for the little button
levels that will screw into the cable release thread on the shutter
button...
The feeling of slant vs an actual slant: I sometimes wonder whether to
worry about an apparent slant. Most of the time I use the grid in PS
to check, but it does add a fair time to the processing of 200Mb files.
Now if I were to scan at 4000dpi instead of 5400 the file would be
smaller and the rotation take less time. Or perhaps I could rotate
after I have changed the file from 16bit to 8... decisions, decisions
;-)
Anyway, many of us enjoyed the photos notwithstanding this discussion
about the horizon ;-))
