Lots of ways. I would make a selection around each letter, then put each letter on it's own layer. Then use the transform tool to straighten each letter.

Hi @finno6102593 Well, a few things first. I'm assuming you don't have a file with a separate text layer. Do you know what font this is? Do you know how or why it became skewed in the first place?

 

If you have the font, create a new text layer above, retype the words, drag it into position, and adjust as needed to exactly cover the original text. Then flatten or export the file. Is it necessary to use the same font? Is this text part of a larger image, or is that the entire frame? You might use some guides and try to redraw the letters with white paint or the clone tool, but that's going to get messy. You could isolate and maybe skew the letters somehow with the transform tool? Maybe others will have more ideas for you. It depends on what you need in the final output.

If it is live text (you didn't tell us), then Photoshop does not have rotation as a Character attribute like both InDesign and Illustrator do. You can make a feature request by posting to Ideas.

Wow, thanks for all the responses! I don't have the font (the image is from the fron of a jersey). Now that I've got it straight, how do I a) turn the type red, and b) turn the background white?

Lots of ways to change the colors. I would make a selection of either the text or background then on a new layer, fill it will the color that you want. then put a solid color fill layer below it with the other color.

Hey,

 

In addition, try using the Liquify Tool.
