See, I live in an old apartment. The corners aren't 90°, the wall a picture is hanging on is convex. When I'm lying in bed and look at the picture it looks like it's crooked but I used a level several times on it and it's as straight as can be. It's driving me insane.

But “level isn’t what you need. If the floor and ceiling aren’t level, it’ll look wrong.

This is when you set it relative to the rest of the unleveled stuff in your view to make it look level.
