 Thanks Andre.I'll play with this feature. It's not the way of adjusting an
 image that I saw before - where there was a picture of a window. But I'm sure
 it will do the job. Many thanks.

 Tools  Transformation  Rotate

this should be the first step in straightening out an image with distorted 
perspective, as you get when you don't hold the camera straight. 

after getting _something_ straight, either the middle of the image, or an 
important part somewhere else, you'll have to adjust the perspective. either 
choose tools - transform tools - perspective, or the perspective tool from 
the 
toolbox.

you'll have to play around a little to find the ideal perspective shift. if you 
change the perspective too much, the photo will look weired. after adjusting 
the 
perspective you can undo  redo, and repeat the process if necessary.

online manual links:

http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-tool-rotate.html
http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-tool-perspective.html

i didn't see a tutorial dealing with this subject, but you'll find lots of 
helpful information in there: http://gimp.org/tutorials/

Try watching this video at http://meetthegimp.org.  It will show you how to
use both the rotate and prespective tools.

Klaus Goelker's book GIMP 2 for Photographers has great
information on this.

For all those tools mentioned in the other posts, check out the Corrective 
mode, preferrably with the transformation preview set to only Grid.  With 
that, it's just fun to correct skewed photographs.

2009-09-28 Thread Daniel Hornung
Hello Phani,

  check out the Corrective mode

 please excuse my ignorance, but where do i find this mode?

http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tools-transform.html#gimp-tool-transform
- Tool Options - Direction

You find this setting (and all other tool related options) in the tool options 
dialog, which is a dock that is usually just below the tool dialog itself.  
If you can't find it, I suggest the chapters on docks  dialogs in the GIMP 
help pages.

I hope you enjoy it,
Daniel
