This first picture is the result of using only the straighten button in photoshop. As the book said it automatically cut the picture, because it no longer fit in a perfect rectangle. The photo directly below is a screenshot of the original automatic crop that photoshop did.
I stepped backward once to see what was cut off, and re-cropped the picture slightly differently. In this version there is less of the hill showing, and the boulder in the ocean is not cut off strangely. However, this cut left small portions of the topmost corners blank which I filled in with the remaining sky. Then, I resized the picture to 600 Pixel Width to 399 pixel height and 72 DPI. The earlier crop that I had done made it just a little bit off from the proportions, and entering the correct pixel height caused the width to go over 600, so I trimmed off a bit more of the sides so it would fit the correct dimensions. Then I saved it as a JPG, changing the quality to 9 because I was going to be posting it on a website. The picture below is the finished product.
