Straighten a photo in Photos?

In the previous iPhoto one was able to use the Edit tools to straighten a photo. This seems to be missing in Photos. Is there a way to straighten a photo now?

Hey there Marc, when you're in Photos, and you click on edit, then crop, a little dial will come up on the right hand side of the photo you're editing. Just grab the tiny blue triangle with your mouse and you should be able to straighten it by moving that up or down.

You're welcome 🙂


The tool is a little hidden but your explanation was very clear about finding it.

There are many more hidden treasures in the Adjustments panel.


When you click the "Adjust" button , there are only a few adjustments shown. Click the blue "Add" button, to reveal more of them and to add them to the default set.


And most of the adjustments have disclosure triangles to reveal advanced setting, like "Highlights and Shadows", etc.
