The Crop Tool in Photoshop CS2

Moving and Rotating the Crop Selection

But that's not all... move your cursor to just outside one of the corner handles and you'll see it change to a double pointing curved arrow. When the curved arrow cursor is active you can rotate the selection marquee. This allows you to crop and straighten a crooked image at the same time. Just align one of the crop edges to a portion of the image that should be horizontal or vertical, and when you invoke the crop, it will rotate the image to conform to your selection. The center point on the crop marquee determines the center point to which the marquee is rotated. You can move this center point to change the center of rotation by clicking on it and dragging.
