    Have you tried the Crop Tool and using that one’s Straighten function (from the Options Bar)?

     

    Are you talking about the Properties Panel (formerly Adjustments) or the Adjustment Dialogs?

    The feature is there, where Christoph described it, though I would have liked it if they'd left an option for the Ruler Tool button to allow people to add "and crop" as well.  But Adobe have confirmed they moved it out of there on purpose, presumably because new users would expect to crop their image using the Crop Tool, not the Ruler Tool.

    You MUST be talking about the Properties panel, where adjustment layer info is shown, because the dialogs you get when you do things like Image - Adjust - Levels or Image - Adjust - Curves is not resizeable in any way I can see.  At least not on a PC.

     

    No, there's no special option that allows dialog sizes to be saved separately.  It's just one panel, and the size of the panel itself defines the size of the contents up to each of their max sizes.

    Your English is just fine. 

     

    But you were dragging the corner of the Properties panel...  You just didn't notice it.  Try it again, and this time look at the name in the tab.  The Properties panel is where all adjustments, such as Levels or Curves, are manipulated.  It is the only place those adjustments show up.

    The Properties panel is one and only one panel. Its contents just change. That's the way it works in Photoshop CS6.

     

    And no, I don't believe there's any way to get it to show in different sizes depending on what's displayed in there.

    Yes, you can do that, but a little different way; click the little finger icon in the Properties panel first, then click on places in your image.  You can even then drag right in the image to move the curves.

    no , i'm talking about for example the curve dialog window , i can enlarge using the corner and have a big window dialog

    Contradicting the obvious it seems …

     

    by the way , in cs6 there is no more the ability to add a point in the curve with ctrl and a click mouse with eyedropper selected,isn't it?

    Have you tried setting the Properties Panel’s fly out menu (when a Curves Layer is selected) to »Auto-Select Targeted Adjustment Tool«?

    With that setting when one selects a Curves Layer one can alt-click to set a point on the Curve in the Properties Panel.
