Yeah in photoshop.........

1.Select > all

2.Right click on image, then choose "free transform"

3.Right click again, then choose "rotate"

4.After rotating, double click on image to finlize.

5.Zoom in abit, then choose the "crop" tool.And crop out the edges that were produced when it was rotated.

6.Double click on image again

7.Done

Oh and if you want to get it spot on, then select the "single row marquee tool".click on the image to get a horizontal line up to see how straight it is.If its still out then re-do the rotate thing.

Another technique for photoshop is to use the measure tool (its on the tool palette). Just select it and drag a line along the edge you want to make horizontal. Then go to the rotate command, the angle you needed to make the edge horizontal has now been added by the measure tool for you. Just click rotate.
