Angle calculation in photoshop?

[Karras]

Hi guys,

I'm working on a small job from a dentist for his dissertation. He gave us x-ray photographs of different jaws, that are all fractured at different points. My task is to point out the post-op fractured parts with a center, circle around it and two lines + it's angle, to show if the doctors did a good job or failed. I'm a total photoshop newbie and use this to learn a bit, my question is, which would be the easiest way of calculating the angles?

(hope you understand what I mean, it's quite difficult for me to explain this task and use the right vocabulary ;) )

I'm not sure if I understood correctly but if you want to measure angles in Photoshop, this is how you do it(This works in CS2 and CS3, not sure about older versions)

Click on the ruler tool (Toolbox->right click on the eyedropper tool and select the ruler) click on a point on your canvas and drag to form one arm of the angle, release. Then hold down the Alt key (at this point your cursor should turn into an angle)and drag and release to get the second arm. If you look up to the options strip on the top, it will tell you the angle value in degrees ( A: _°)

Hope that helps :)

Oh yes this actually helps a lot, have to work on an old mac with photoshop 5.5 instead of the new with CS2, but will give it a try, hope it works :)

Thanks, Iridyse.
