Benny - I've used your shot to illustrate what I meant, but if you like, I'll replace it with something else ... Using crop tool select a small section ...  Put the cursor near the corner of the selection and it will turn into a circular arrow which allows you to rotate the section - I move the section and rotate it to match the horizon  The drag each of the corners of the selection out to the edges of the canvas - you will loose edges (how much depends on how much of a slant your horizon is on)  When you are happy, click on the tick to accept the crop changes  and then you have a straight horizon - just the way I do it

Without trying to steal anybody's thunder, I'd suggest another tip when one doesn't what to loose much of the image by cropping.
Use the ruler as descibed above.
Select the whole image and use one of the tranform tools - dragging the appropriate corner til the horizon lines up with the ruler. This way you only lose from one corner rather than the whole image.
Of course it' a bit of "horses for courses" which way you choose
Regards
Bob

I used the ruler tool in Lightroom for my #1 Newcastle shot in the Images section, very easy to use... just drag across the horizon and it will make that line perfectly horizontal and level...

Dare I suggest an even easier method? How about looking through the viewfinder when making the image, and getting it right in the camera? g.

What did you say? Speak up I can't hear you. Jase555 wrote:I used the ruler tool in Lightroom for my #1 Newcastle shot in the Images section, very easy to use... just drag across the horizon and it will make that line perfectly horizontal and level...
Whereabouts do you find the ruler tool in lightroom? __________

In the crop view in the develop section. It's the straighten tool (think it may be a spirit level rather than a ruler...  )
