Straighten the Image

» Straightening of the image is needed since it can appear tilted or unlevel due to improper positioning of the camera.

»Another important tip while optimizing images for the web is to crop out any of the additional or unwanted areas. The presence of vacant or unused areas in the image can make it look unappealing. The Crop tool in Photoshop can be used to select any such unwanted areas. This will become highlighted, which can then be used to crop out the unused portions of the image.
