Photoshop: straighten tool

Photoshop Elements 8 had a tool to draw a line and straighten your image

Photoshop CS6 misplaced that tool (it was me, I'm like 7 versions behind)

1) Turns out the straighten tool has become the Ruler Tool. Right click on the eyedropper  and click the ruler  from the menu. Or just keep pressing (SHIFT+I) until the picture matches a ruler 

2) Draw your line (using the ruler tool) across crooked line you want to be straight, then click "Straighten"

Interestingly, if you draw the line and switch to another tool, but then switch back to the ruler, it remembers your line. What a sweet lad

Photoshop: how to export icon

Photoshop doesn't natively export *.ico files.

This plugin makes it so Photoshop (up to CS6) can save icon files.

1) Go to the plugin's download site and download the right plugin. If you have Windows 32-bit, click the second one.

2) Go to Photoshop's file-format plugin directory (C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop {version}/Plug-ins/File Formats/). Copy the 8bi file from the zip you downloaded to the File Formats folder.

3) Restart Photoshop (if you haven't already). Open some image. NOTE: the image's dimensions must BOTH be less than or equal to 256px, otherwise the *.ico option won't appear. SAVE AS *ICO

*) If it asks you how you want to save your icon, choose the ICO option.
