So this is the Second Step, i divide all the steps, so it will be more
clear for you guys...

Second Step: Rotating+Cropping

A manga isnt always straight, therefore we'll rotate it.
This means that the horizontale lines need to be straight.



That is why we lay a grid over the manga.
A grid is helping you to see where the straight lines are.
Make sure "extras" is ticked and then in english it should be called
"grid".



Don't be afraid of the green lines(maybe some different colour), as
you can remove the grid by reclicking on the menu i showed you before.
So you see that the black line isnt perfectly straight, that means
the page needs some rotating.



That's how you rotate. By clicking on that another menu will pop up and will ask you if you want to rotate clockwise or the other way round. That
depends and i think you should experentise a little until you get that.
You can always redo your steps with ctrl+Z and i would suggest
to redo the step if its not right, as each time you rotate, some quality of
that page will be wasted.



That's the Menu I've talked about before. For this pic I'll rotate it with >>0,6<<, first I've tried >>0,7<<, but that was too much.
(im UZS means clockwise, and the other one is the other way round)



As you can see with the green line, that part is straight.
But then there is the problem that with rotating normally white background will appear, I made it red in this case, so you will notice it.
So it's cropping time...



You get to the crop tool by either pressing >>c<< or click on that tools in PS.
As you also can see the rest of the page gets a transparent grey colour.
You have to make sure that the red parts are in that grey area.
so either by pressing enter or confirming it with the tick on the top right corner the final pic will look like this -->



Remember that I did this on one pannel, so you guys understand normaly,
you do this with the hole manga page...
So now that the pic is straight we can go to Step 3...
