So how did I do it, the answer is easy and the fix is quick.  At the top right of Luminar is a TOOLS button, I simply clicked on the Luminar tools button, clicked on CROP and the crop tool popped up around my crooked photo.  Than I moved my mouse pointer around the edge of the photo, not on the photo, but around the outside edge, to the upper left hand corner when a curved two ended arrow showed up, this arrow is also called a rotate arrow.  I clicked onto the curved arrow and held down the left mouse button as I slowed dragged the corner of the photo downward until the photo appeared straightened out, than clicked on the done button to the right, it was that simple.
