Most people who are just starting out with Photoshop are surprised to learn that there is no built-in rotate tool. Photoshop is not like Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, where you can just click on an object and rotate it to any angle you want. So how do you rotate in Photoshop?
The first thing you need to do is open the image you want to rotate in Photoshop. Once the image is open, go to the “Edit” menu at the top of the screen and choose “Transform.” A submenu will appear with several different transformation options.
To rotate your image, choose “Rotate.” A small dialog box will appear with options for rotating your image. You can either type in a number of degrees to rotate your image, or use the small arrows next to the input field to rotate your image in small increments.
If you are unsure about how to free rotate in Photoshop, it is best to ask for help from a professional or someone who is familiar with the program. Free rotating an image can cause distortion if not done correctly, so it is important to understand how to do it properly before attempting it.
Once you have your image rotated to the angle you want, press “Enter” or “Return” on your keyboard to confirm the transformation. You can also click the checkmark icon in the options bar at the top of the screen.
That’s all there is to rotating an image in Photoshop! Just remember that you can’t rotate individual layers – only entire images. So if you have a multi-layer document and want to rotate one of the layers, you’ll first need to merge all of the layers into a single layer.
