P: Please add a keyboard shortcut for "Automatically strighten the photo" option

Hello, please add a keyboard shortcut for the "Automatically straighten the photo" option in the "Crop overlay". Usually, I press "R" to select crop and wish to have another shortcut for "Auto straighten", as it usually works well in most cases.

 

Kind regards,

Kristijonas

To whom and what are you replying? Unfortunately, this section of the forum doesn't have the option for displaying threaded replies, so we can't tell to what you are referring.

One member pointed out that when  you straighten on a field, it takes the lacrosse stick, the field lines, etc. rather than the horizon line.

What the AI, we dont have a fix for this.  Seems super easy.  Do we have to create an action or similar?  Anyone solve this one?

Thanks,

Crop/Crop Tool: Add a hotkey for "auto" straighten.

 

Why?

 

It would greatly speed workflow--

1. "R" for crop

2.  Adobe adds a hotkey for "auto" straighten (so I don't have to reach for the mouse and left mouse click on auto) I can press enter on the keyboard and right arrow to next image in the filmstrip.

 

3. I also do sports and events where your horizon line for a screen, a stage or players on the field are often slightly not straight..for about 95% of my workflow, the "auto" straighten acceptably straightens the image for client work.  

 

someone else asking too:

Is there a keyboard short cut for auto straighten once in the crop tool?

Not to my knowledge. Only the (Auto) button to mouse click.

The best alternative I've found is a two-keystroke shortcut:

 

Shift T: Transform > Guided

Ctrl Tab: Cycle Upright Options to change to Level

 

Any Shortcut makes it easier to explore possibilities:
