The standard way is the Rotate tool in 'Corrective (Backward)' mode, line the
grid up with the horizon, click rotate, and the image is rotated accordingly.

However, to draw a 'line' you need a script. One attached 'auto-rotate.scm'
**unzip** it pop it into your Gimp profile scripts folder

Windows C:\Users\"yourname"\.gimp-2.8\scripts

or Linux ~.gimp-2.8/scripts

Usage: Draw a **path** along the horizon, then apply the script, Layer ->
Auto-Rotate
