Guide Lines for leveling horizons in photos

Ages ago I remember seeing a tutorial that showed
how to use guide lines (?) in PS to precisely level a
horizon in a photograph.
I usually do this using the rotate capability within
the crop tool, but my present approach is rather
hit and miss.
Can anyone give me a hint or a URL to a tutorial
on this matter?

You may use the ruler for this purpose. Align the ruler to the horizon
or whichever line you want to be horizontally or vertically aligned.
Then rotate the canvas - free rotate. Photoshop suggests the angle,
which the ruler forms with the horizontal or vertical axis, whichever
is smaller. BTW, the ruler hides behind the eyedropper.

| Select the measure tool (under the eyedropper tool) click and drag the
measure along the existing Horizon - go to Image > rotate canvas > arbitrary
and you should see the degree of angle that needs to be adjusted already
shown - click OK.

Why not use the Measure Tool?
Drag a line that follows the horizon and go to Image > Rotate
Canvas > Arbitrary where you just have to click on OK to level
the horizon.

Who says the horizon is always level? And what do you do South of the
Equator? Stand on your head?
(It's been a loooooong day.)

Not just for horizon leveling: you also can use the measure tool to
draw a line that follows any element in the image that you believe
should be _vertical_, and this procedure will make it "plumb".
