How Do I Tilt an Image in Photoshop?

Last updated on April 14, 2023 @ 5:05 am

In Photoshop, you can use the Transform tool to manually rotate the image canvas.

To do this, go to the Edit menu and open the Transform tool options. From here, select the Rotate tool.

Once the Transform Tool is enabled, you can now see the Rotate handles around the image. Simply hover your cursor over one of these handles until your cursor turns into a curve-like icon. Then, click and drag to the direction where you want to tilt your image.

You can see the Tilt Angle value of the image on the side of the cursor as you continue to rotate the image.

Another way to do this is by typing in the rotate angle value that you prefer in the Rotate field at the top menu

NOTE: This lets you set the Tilt Angle as accurately as possible.

Once you’re happy with the title of your image, just press “Enter” on your keyboard or click on the check icon at the top menu to commit your transform changes.

 

PRO TIP: Please be aware that tilting an image in Photoshop may result in the image becoming distorted. If you are unsure how to tilt an image without causing distortion, we recommend seeking out professional assistance.
