Straighten a Crooked Horizon in Pixelmator - Simple Digital Photo Correction

This is a really simple fix to straighten a crooked horizon in Pixelmator. Crooked horizons are a common problem affecting digital photos, particularly those quickly grabbed snaps that we take with our compact cameras. A landscape that appears to be sliding out of the side of the frame can really undermine an otherwise attractive photo. Fortunately, if you use Pixelmator, the popular and competitively priced image editor for Apple Macs running OS X, it is very easy to straighten a horizon in any of your digital photos that are afflicted by this complaint.
