Rotate¶

You can rotate an image by using:

• Rotate Image Preset Degrees: Use to rotate an image by 90 or 180 degrees.
• Rotate Layer Specified Degrees: Use to rotate a layer by a specific degree.
• Rotate using Move Selection Tool: Use this to move a selected portion of an image.

Rotate Image Preset Degrees¶

1. Select the image you want to rotate from the Images window.

   
    

2. Go to Image menu and select one of the preset rotations.

   

   • Rotate 90 degrees Clockwise
   • Rotate 90 degrees Counter-Clockwise
   • Rotate 180 degrees
