horizon / straightening prob

[Hinkelbein]

Guys,

I had this pic rejected twice, because it wasn´t straight. One screener said I should use the back wall as a guidance, but it was still rejected. What must I do? I have no horizon in the pic.

In the attachent is the pic. I added some yellow lines. Is there one of the lines I should use as horizon?

Greets,

Hi mate,

Always use verticals for levelling; if they are available !( like walls, colums etc. No flags or lampposts)
In this case, use the vertical columns of the wall, especially the ones in the middle of the photo.

Good luck

I was the screener that said to use the the back wall as a guide. For me, that's what draws my eye to see if something is level or not. I don't use the verticals, just like using flag or light polls they don't aways appear straight up.

Well, I 'll just try all lines and if it is rejected five times, so be it. If it still doesn't work, I'll keep them to myself.
I have more of this museum, all inside, no horizon. Some of them are not yet in the database

Had one rejected again, due to the same problem.

I can see that is is unlevel, but where should I place the level tool with Photoshop?

Is it where the people sit on the chairs in the background?
Or somewhere else?

If you look to the far left you can see some people just left of the prop. You can see the floor there and it's way to high up. I would put the line there and drag it all the way across to the right.

It needs CCW rotation, but I don't have Elements here to see how much. Use the grid feature and rotate it manually and see how the lines line up with your grid. This is how we determine if something is level, but you can see with the naked eye this one needs CCW.

Vertical line in middle of pic used (marked red). 0,8 degrees counterclockwise rotated

Hope this helps

Thanks Top Gun.
I will of course adapt the photo.

Could you tell me what CCW stands for?

Hi OE-VAP,

You used a vertical line, while Top Gun suggests I use the horizontal line by the people near the propellor.

Hmm, difficult. I fear it is a tough matter, this horizontalling thing.

But: who said we have an easy hobby ?

Thanks Top Gun.

CCW= Counter Clockwise

CW= clock wise

Oh .. .my ... God ... that simple!!
I'm ashamed of myself.

Sorry Top Gun for this very stupid question!

not stupid, I had to ask myself when I was getting those comments from the screeners

Hinkelbein,

I was the screener and I left you a note in the reject email about what to use for vertical, which referred to Peter Unmuth's explanation ?

Hi Brian,

Thanks for that, I will upload the adjusted photo later. Hope that it will pass the screeners this time.
(But first I'll become paying member so I can upload a whole bunch of planes )
