Notice, that our selected background color is black. One thing that may surprise you there is that black background. So for instance, if I wanted to rotate for 42.1 o I could type in 42.1 and click OK. If I go up to the menu and click on Image, Rotate, (apart from the options) you’ve just seen there is a Custom Rotation as well.Īnd with a custom rotation, I can choose a custom angle. If I right click on a thumbnail in the photo bin, I have Rotate 90 o left, Rotate 90 o right. And then, of course, I also have a Rotate clockwise option as well.Īnother way that you can do rotation is to use the photo bin. I eventually finish up where I started from. We have a Rotate anticlockwise button there. There are a pair of buttons or I should say one button with a pair of options on the taskbar for rotation. There are a number of ways of doing this. Let’s start with rotating and flipping a whole image. I just think it’s important now to get an idea of the differences between these before we go too much farther with our use of the Expert Editor. Although, we won’t really be looking at that in detail until later on. I am going to demonstrate the rotating and flipping of both selections and layers in this section. This might be a selection in an image or as we’ll increasingly see during the course on layers within an image. Well, so are rotating and flipping.Īpart from operating on whole images, there may be occasions when you want to operate on part of an image. I mentioned in the preceding section that cropping is a very common operation when you’re working with PSE. Finally, we’ll look at transforms in general. We’ll look at rotating and flipping layers and selections. Then, we’ll do some straightforward rotating and flipping of a whole image. We’ll also be looking in more general terms at transforms in the Expert Editor.įirst of all, I’m going to give you an introduction to rotating and flipping. In this section, we’re going to look at rotating and flipping.
